My Cup of Tea

Part 5 "Official"

I woke up feeling dizzy due to hangover and decided to skip my morning classes or maybe for the whole day. Then suddenly I remembered what happened last night. That kiss.

I get out from my bed and reached the door of my room, before I opened it, I could hear someone is cooking and I could smell some fried bacon, eggs, and toast. Then my stomach started to rumble, so without hesitation, I opened the door and I stepped outside my room. Tad saw me while he's in the kitchen preparing some fried rice. Yes, a fried rice for breakfast.

  "Sorry if I used your kitchen, Chris" Tad said.
" It's okay. By the way where did you get those stuff?" I said
"Which stuff? These food? I just went down and buy in the store. I know you'll be hungry when you wake up." He winked at me after he answered. Why every time he does that, my heart always beats fast.
"Well, just sit down. I'm almost done" he added. Then I took my seat and wait for him. At the table, there is fried egg, omelette, ham, fried cacons, sausages, Grapow Moo (minced pork), and of course his favorite tea, CHAMOMILE TEA. I'm not sure if this is breakfast or a feast, so I asked.
"Tad, is this a breakfast or a feast? Did you invite someone to come over and have breakfast with us, if yes I don't like that idea" I said sarcastically. Then he laughed.
"No! I didn't invite anyone, that's for us only. I don't know what would you like to eat for breakfast, so I bought everything I could find in the store then cooked it" he explained while bringing the fried rice in the table and sit in front of me.
"Let's eat" he said. While eating, I told him that I'll be skipping my classes for today.
"Okay then, I'll skip mine too" he replied
"Why? You're not drunk last night" I asked him with a confusion.
"I want to spend my day with you" he said while looking at me straight to my eyes. Those eyes again. I placed my cutleries back to my plate and said something to him.
"Okay, fine. But before anything else let's talk about last night, about that kiss. Let's clear everything now". I said. My mind is full of questions about last night and him specifically, I want to know everything about his confession of love to me. He placed down his cutleries as well and look at me and said. "What do you want to know, I'll let my heart answer all your questions that's been stucked in your head". Yes you've heard him, his HEART will answer. Then I asked him my first question.
"Where and when did you meet me?"
"Do you remember that I was a transferee?"
"No, I don't have the files of each students in the Uni." I said sarcastically.
"Okay, I was a transferee last semester at the University and we need to go under some school orientation including tour around the university and..." I didn't let him finish. "That's where you saw me?" I said. In our faculty I'm always responsible for giving tours for new students in the University.
"Yes! I was mesmerized about how you explained everything about your faculty. It's like I saw myself in you. You spoke like Architecture is your life and I could feel your passion about it. Same goes with me Culinary Arts is my life." He answered. At some point I was not satisfied with his answer, then I asked.
"So that's it? It's like love at first sight?"
"No." He said. I don't know but why I felt disappointed when he said no, he saw my reaction and said.
"Don't get me wrong Chris. After our first meeting I couldn't get you out of my head but I ignored my feelings that time. But when I saw you at the cafeteria and sat beside our table, that's when I started to like you, because at that very moment, I know that guy is the person I want to live for the rest of my life." then my heart started to beat fast and I could tell that my face is turning to red.
"I was afraid to approach you during that time, I've heard that you hate us, so I look for ways to get your information. I've got the chance to talk to Somchai about you and started digging about you." He added. At this moment I don't know if I want to kill Somchai or thank him. Then he asked me.
"How about you? Do you like me? I could feel it in your kiss last night" I could guarantee you that my face turns red right now. Why did he ever bring that up.
"I don't know Tad, I was never been in this kind of relationship." I answered him. Then he held my hands. His hands that are soft and he looked at me in the eyes and said.
"Me as well Chris, I've never been in this kind of relationship. But one thing for sure I'll never give up and I'll fight until you become mine. Will you date me?" Those words I could never imagine that someone will tell me and it came out from him. Then I answered.
"Yes!" I saw his reaction. He stokd up and almost started to scream, but I was fast to cover his mouth and drag him back to his sit.
"What are you doing? Let me clarify my answer. I said yes about dating you, to know you better not to be your boyfriend." I explained to him on a lower tone because there might be people listening outside. He stood up holding the both side of the table then he lean on me while having an eye contact with me and said
"It's fine. Still the same because I know I'll win you over" the he kissed me in my cheek. Then my heart stopped.
"What's that for?" I asked him when my heart started to function again normally. Then he answered. "Let's just say that it's my first investment. YOU ARE MINE" he said his last line with emphasis and I started to feel afraid of him.
