Stumbled In Love [Complete]

15.

Before I could even scramble up to my feet I could already hear Kongpob rustling up noisily. Crumbling the leftover food wrappers before stammering incoherently.

"I...I...I was just... I am just...actually I'm gonna go now. Ok, bye."

Thankfully the kid can recognize a she-devil when he sees one cause before the soles of my feet even touched the floor I heard his scurrying away from the door.

"Umm...Erica?"

"Who the fuck was that?"

"Is he gone?"

"Yeah, but..."

I swung the door open to grab her hand and pull her inside. More than a little irritated that she had rather rudely interrupted our very pleasant dinner. Especially the one where Kongpob had finally started behaving a little more normal than his usual confusing self.

"Why are you here?"

"And hi to you too."

"Yeah, hi whatever. Now what are you doing here disturbing my peace."

"Who the fuck was talking to you? I'm obviously speaking with Chocolate here. HiI baby. Are you a good boy? Who's been a good boy?."

And there goes years of training to try to attack the witch on command shall we ever need it cause she produced the smelliest beef jerky treat under the sun. See, I told you the woman can never be trusted.

"Are you going to squeak out why you are here or should I start taking random guesses? Let's see, did you by chance happen to run out of blood of virgins you need to not turn into your true form?"

"A little extra bitter today aren't we? And would I ever run out of virgin blood when I have unlimited access to you? Now stop being so grumpy cause I walked in on you having an awkward date and tell me where the fuck is my next chapter."

"That wasn't a date and I already sent you the next chapter two days ago."

"What you sent me was an empty document with only two words in bold saying a big FUCK YOU! Seriously Arthit if you need to make the deadline you need to give me the damn chapter."

"If we need to make the deadline then you need to get off my ass and let me write in peace. You will get the chapter when you get the chapter. Until then everytime you ask you are just going to get the same two words with a slightly bigger font. Do you really want to waste both of our time exchanging useless emails?"

"Ughh, Arthit have I told you how much I hate you?"

"Every day for the past seven years."

"Well, it is still true. Now how about an estimate?"

"I'm not sure. Soon I guess."

"How soon is soon."

"Soon is soon. Geez woman can you quit nagging for once. I have just been busy lately."

"Wait, wait, wait, did you just say you were busy? Busy!? You?"

I swear the cackle that followed her exclamation at least killed five birds in the vicinity of my house. Plugging a finger in my ear I gave an exaggerated whine.

"Ooof, volume woman. Stop it with the shrieking. Why are people trying to turn me deaf today too. "

"Sorry, sorry, sorry. I couldn't help it. I mean I haven't laughed so hard in years. Boy, joke of the century right here. What the fuck are you busy with? You literally have no life outside of your Sol and your books. And now that Sol has finally smartened up and left your crusty ass behind to find his own purpose, why the hell are you not spending every dull, depressed second of your existence trying to find empty fulfillment with your books is beyond me. In other words, what else could you possibly be doing?"
