WRONG NUMBER {COMPLETE}

~Beam~

I have mix feelings about how I feel about the two guys. P'Lam looks mysterious in person, but during our conversations. He seem really easy going, we even have some things in common. Such as our taste in music and hobbies. P'Forth on the other does not pussyfoot about. He says what's on his mind and is unapologetic about it. Let's not forget the bad boy aura he gives off. Seeing him sprint to action when his gang needed him. Not only shows the leader he is, but how reliable he also is.

Ming fear the outcome of my plan, but I believe a date with each shouldn't be a big deal. Afterwards, I'll sort out my feelings and come clean. " I believe you have a visitor.."-Ming said looking towards the entrance of the auditorium. We had just finished rehearsals for the Moon and Star competition. Where we were also informed of a trip to the resort this weekend to get our photo shoot done for the competition.

In all honesty, I was shocked to see P'Lam at the entrance. He gave me no heads up, he just showed up. But the smile on his face alone, melted away the anxiety that had build up. So I whispered to Ming, "... What makes you think he is here for me?" I said looking right at P'Lam. Who was now waving to me, "... you are fucking kidding right?" Ming said sarcastically then walked over to the other Moons.

" Hi Nong, I hope I am not intruding. I knew rehearsals normally ended at this time. I just wanted to check up on you..."P'Lam. He sounded so sincere. I couldn't help but blush, " ...Yeah, You are right. I was getting ready to leave" I responded. He looked at me hesitantly, then asked "... Do you want to grab dinner with me? You were in such a hurry last time. I figured we can talk"-P'Lam.

I looked over my shoulder to find Ming and Wayo looking at us. " Sure, let me just say goodbye to my friends" I said walking over to Ming and Yo. "... Umm, who is that? I thought you were talking to P'Forth"- Wayo asked. I didn't know how to tell Yo about what was going on, and I knew once he knew. It was only a matter of time over protective Phana will find out too. So I lied, " yeah, that Phi need help with something in our faculty and I am giving him a hand" I responded.

Ming who was obviously over my shenanigans, stated " I am heading back to my suit... I need to figure out what I'll do for talent". Wayo seem to not buy what I was saying at first, then Ming comment about talent jolted his memory. " Oh yeah... I have to meet P'Pha at the parking lot. Beam I'll talk to you later"-Yo also stated, leaving with his things.

Next, I was seated next to P'Lam in his Maserati heading out for dinner. He didn't say much, but mostly smiled,while we listen to music. Then my phone went off. *Lord!!! Talk of timing! It was P'Forth* I quickly, sent him to voicemail. That reminds me, I'll have to reschedule my date with him. We will be leaving for the resort on Friday.

Within a matter of minutes, he texted me. *One thing is certain about him, he is persistent * "You seem to be very popular huh?" P'Lam asked out the blue. I laughed nervously, "...oh just my nosy friends, asking stupid questions" I lied. He simply smiled, wow!! How I wish he would smile all the time. His smile alone can sink a thousand ships. "I know a lot about nosy friends. My best friend would be doing the same if he knew, I was out with you"-P'Lam.

There was a sudden chill down my spine when he mentioned his best friend. I felt unease, and for the first time since I concocted this plan. I thought perhaps, this might not end well. " We are here!..." he said pulling up to a Korean restaurant. "I hope you like Korean food..." he said with a smile as we walked in. " it is actually my favorite..." I responded. I could see his face light up when I did, like a kid who has been praised for a good deed.

He proceeded to grill the meat and talked about things. Like how he loves soccer, and he asked about me and what I want to do in the future. There was no pretending or trying to be anything but me. In that moment, I let all my worries go and simply indulge in the atmosphere. Then he asked, " what are you doing this Friday? There's a carnival 🎡, would you like to go with me?"-P'Lam. The mention of the carnival brought up the thought of P'Forth.

" Yeah, the Moon and Star photo shoot is this weekend. We will leave on Friday..." I responded. He nodded his head, "... I remember that, forth said it was a lot of fun when he did it last year"-P'Lam. Again, my heart skipped a beat. " Are you okay Nong? Your face look flush"-P'Lam. " I am fine... I just recalled I have an assignment due at midnight" I said. He called over the waiter and we wrapped it up.

I wanted to take a cab back to my dorm, but he insisted on taking me home. My mind kept wandering the entire ride. I had a great time with P'Lam this evening. Frankly, more than I had anticipated. When we arrived, I was about to step out the car when he asked"...Nong, last time you stated you wanted to clarify something. Is everything okay now?"- P'Lam asked, looking at me with so much concern in his eyes.

" Ummm... it was nothing serious. Thank you for dinner and the ride. I really enjoyed the food..." I stated. " Perhaps, after this weekend. We can try out some of the other restaurants..."-P'Lam. I nodded my head, " That sounds great..." I said stepping out his car. *Tonight was every bit of the word perfect. Perhaps, I should end this entire charade. And settle with P'Lam*
