Chapter 33 - What's Next?

This is a short one.

I don't know if it's really a short one for you guys but this really is like a short part for me.

Very close friend? Never saw him before, Newwiee thought.

He's about to ask him question but then his phone rang and the call is from Singto. Again with the being lonely. His boyfriend hasn't arrived yet and he's the perfect target to disturb.

"What?" rolling his eyes and didn't even say hello to the caller.

"You dragged me here and left me. What kind of friend are you?" Singto complained. More like a whining kid.

"It's your choice to stay locked inside until he arrives. Not my fault."

After this, his eyes again meet his and didn't get to hear what Singto telling him. He suddenly forgot about the call and being hypnotized by this man.

"New! Are you still there? Don't tell me you've been fucking someone while talking to me! You dirty piece of shit!"

New blinked a few times waking up from the hypnosis.

"That's you. Not me. I'll be there in a minute." He didn't wait for his friend to respond and end the call.

There's someone who needs his attention other than his whiny friend.

"I actually need to go," he finally said which made the man finally able to talk to him. Sorry about that.

"Do you still use your old number?" the man asked.

"Umm... I think so." New isn't sure if the number he's using is the same even before the accident. He just doesn't remember.

"Wait," said the man and bring out his own phone from his back pocket. He almost dropped it as he quickly pulled it out but thank God it didn't happen.

New can see what the man is doing to his phone. He called a number with his name registered. He waited and hoping his phone to ring. That way he doesn't need to ask his number.

It's not like he wanted to get it but he knows him. And a very close one. and maybe get his memories back. And maybe they are more than just friends. Like best friends. Whatever.

New waits and his heart did a flip when his phone rang. He's excited that his wish came true.

"It's the same," New exclaimed. With the happiness he felt he jump to the man's body. Arms around his neck.

This feels good, New thought still tightly hugging the man. He felt arms wrapped around his waist which made him jerked off. Loosening the hug.

"Yes, it does," the man whispered so low but still heard it as they are so close to each other.

New quickly let go and made a distance between them. Eyes on the ground. He's embarrassed that he can't looked at the man. He kinda regrets letting him go but also he suddenly feel ashamed of what he did.

How did he know what I'm thinking? Did I just say that out loud? NO! I need to escape now, New thought and he's about to leave without saying his goodbye but the man speak.

"See you around...," the man said and there goes again his blinding smile. "Newwiee." The man turned around the left him.

There's a part of him that wanted to stop him from leaving. But he can't think of any reason. He watched the man walked away and disappeared from his sight.
