Stumbled In Love [Complete]

27.

"Where exactly are we going?"

"Someplace you are a little less likely to reject my proposition."

"Kongpob I really think we should..."

"We are almost there. I promise. And then you can yell at me as much as your heart desires. A whole month's worth if you want. Now, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, I was catching you up with the mega bonanza of a party my sister's threw bang in the middle of my mother's delivery..."

I didn't quite miss the side dig about me ignoring Kong for a whole month while he swung right back into telling me about all the big and small things that had transpired in his life for the month I was busy being the biggest chicken on the planet.

Seriously, tell me how is that kid so nonchalant about making out with me. And then going ahead and asking me out smack in front of his mother. Did the boy have no concept of fear or embarrassment?

Obviously not, cause here I was probably blushing away to glory at his closeness and there he was coaxing his mom for her car keys cause 'Arthit deserved to go on a long, relaxing drive.'

See, literally no shame at all.

And here I am, still wondering what the fuck am I doing sitting next to him in the close confines of the car instead of running back to my house and having my own private freak out I was planning on doing originally.

It was another 15-20 minutes before he pulled the car to a halt, turning the engine off as he stepped out of his seat, only a moment later swinging the door open on my side to softly wrap his hand around my palm and helping me out.

"Beach? We are at the beach?"

"Yup. I remember you mentioned you hadn't been in a few years, even though its practically in our backyeard. So I thought, what better ambience could there be, while I try to convince you to go out on a date with me."

And instantly I could feel the cool breeze flutter over my body, the saline scent of the air bringing back memories I hadn't thought about in a long time. The sound of the waves crashing putting an involuntary smile on my naturally grumpy face.

Ok, I have to give it to him, the kid definitely knew how to be ultra smooth.

Leaning against the car, we stood there quietly, his shoulders lightly rubbing against mine, making sure I was fully aware of his presence next to me. Both in a good and a bad way.

But just as I was finally allowing myself to enjoy the silent serenity of the beach, I heard Kong's soft whisper, instantly making me stiffen in anxiety.

"One date."

"Kong, I don't..."

"Just one date. That's all I'm asking for. Just one."

"Why?"

A question I needed desperately answered. Waiting with bated breath to hear his words before I could hopefully put an end to this madness once and for all.

"Why? Honestly, even I don't know. But lately it seems like I spend all day and most of the night thinking about you. Infact no matter what I do, I just can't manage to stop. And everytime you do pop up in my head, it makes me feel all...weird."

"Weird? Seriously? A regular old Shakespear arent you?"

"Ok, maybe that wasn't the best choice of word, but I feel all these things that are confusing and weird. I can't understand them and yet I keep wanting to experience them again and again. God, I haven't stopped fantasizing about our kiss all last month. And just in case, it affected you even one percent of how obsessed I have been maybe we can help us figure out what is going on between us."
