My Lovely Chance (Love by Chance)

Double Date

(Short Chapter)

*1 week later*

Ping and I are currently walking around an outlet mall, swinging our entwined hands as we look around. It's been a while since we had gone on a date. We were always busy with school and friends; I mean yes we did hang out at university and go back to my apartment but it's not the same as going out. We were just looking at different stores to see what we would like but nothing really caught my attention. 

I was suddenly bumped into by a shorter male on my left shoulder. "Ah. I'm really sorry man," the guy said. I looked a little closer and felt like I saw him somewhere before. He had brown hair that was like a mop or bowl on his head, covering his forehead and his eyebrows. What I noticed most was that Tin was next to him.

"Ai Tin?" I questioned because he was the last guy I would expect to be out with someone from the Thailand university. He looked surprised as well for a second but that changed to his cool exterior and emotionless face. 

"Kai," Tin said with little emotion. I didn't notice that we were staring at each other for long till Ping grabbed and entwined our hands; making me turn at him and catching his concerned face for me. I smiled at him and wrapped our hands around his shoulder. 

"Are you two friends?" I looked over and it was the unknown guy next to Tin. I chuckled a little, "Kinda. We have a mutual friend and go to the same school and share some classes." He seemed to light a little from my statement. "Oh, it's nice to meet someone Tin knows. I'm Can."

He reached his hand out for a handshake, which I accept. "Nice to meet you Can, I'm Kai," I nod my head to my slightly shorter boyfriend, "this is Ping." Ping smiles a little and does a little wave.

God, he's so cute.

"We were gonna go get something to eat, would you like to join us?" Ping asked. Tin and I looked surprised by that question but Can beamed like a child with a million dollars going into a candy store. 

We were sitting at a table, Ping on my right, Tin and Can were across from us. It was kinda awkward but Can seemed to be oblivious from the tense atmosphere, he's just scarfing down his food like he hasn't eaten in weeks. It was kinda frightening.

Ping cleared his throat, all attention was on him, "So how long have you two," he directs a smile towards the duo across from us, "known each other?". It seemed like an innocent question, but I noticed that Tin tensed his shoulders, it was tiny and seemed almost unnoticed but I was already looking at him when it happened. 

Can smiled with a mouth full of food, he quickly swallowed what he could but still had some food in his mouth. "He almost hit me with his car, then yelled at me like a bastard," he said it with such confidence; like it was funny. It sounded like something Tin would do but he would add some harsh words and disgust on his face.

I snorted but covered it with a cough. We continued talking, well more Ping and Can did. Tin and I just stayed quiet and would occasionally say a few words or jump into the conversation but stayed out of it for the most part.  

When We were done, Ping and Can picked up our trash, leaving Tin and me alone. "Hey Tin," he looked at me with a somewhat hard gaze but with no other emotion on his face or in his eyes, "I'm glad you found someone like Can to keep you company and I hope he's the right one for you like how my Ping is for me."

He looked shocked for a moment, blinked a few times then said, "Thank you, I'm glad you found someone that can keep up with your bullshit." I chuckled lightly, I knew he wasn't being a dick about what he said; it was more like how a brother would say it, playfully almost.

We parted ways with our respected partners, I was holding Pings hand the whole way to my apartment. I'm glad I found someone so special to me. 

~At Home~

After I dropped Ping off in his dorm room, I just laid on my couch with a love-struck smile, thinking about him. He made me feel things that I never experienced in my life, even with past relationships that I had. 

His eyes would sparkle whenever he smiled, his plump cheeks that are as rosey and big as apples. His skin was so smooth and soft like marble, with some beauty marks that really compliment his face. His brown hair that's soft and warm as a fuzzy blanket that I want to run my fingers in it all the time.

Before I knew it, it was already almost 11:30 AM. My smile dimed a bit at the realization I made. I sighed and put my hands on my face and finally said what I didn't expect.

"I'm beyond in love with Ping."
