Kongpob - Fluttering Feelings Pt 2

We are chilling in my dorm, but P'Arthit is completely focused on his task on his laptop. He was stressing over which company to apply to for the internship happening next semester. When he was reading off all the names of the companies that accepted interns, I was surprised by the amount of companies I recognized. As my Por owned a plastic manufacturing company; which meant I have met them at events my Por organized around special holidays.

"P'Arthit, you should apply for the top companies. I know they have higher standards when it comes to who interns there, but the experience you will gain with be exponential."
"How do you know so much? You are not even in your second year?" "Oh, I told you before my mae wanted me to learn engineering for our family business. I know, these companies as I heard their names over dinners at my house." He looks at me and nods his head.

I liked this part of him. He never asks what my Por does or doesn't put pressure on me to say. "P'Arthit, have you only come here to look at your laptop?" I smile at him. His ears are turning red, "Noo. Just want to make the right choice. You know, I could of done this at my place, but instead I'm sitting on your bed." I bit my lip while I stare at him.

Would it be too soon to kiss him. He must of picked up on my thought. He starts shifting on the bed and putting the laptop down. "I'm hungry.. let's get out of here and eat something?" "Of course, Phi. What do you feel like today? Am I buying or you? I can't remember where we left off..." "doesn't matter who buys, as long as we are together, right?" I let out a chuckle and he joins, "yes, P'Arthit. Can we hold hands for moment?" "Kongpob.. no." "Pleaseee, after we eat and come back! I promise!" I raise my hand extending my pinky out. He just shakes his head and heads out of my room. He face is clearly red, but he doesn't care.. he is running away from me. He honestly makes me like him more every day.

We managed to find some food and we each paid for a portion of the meal. He bought the drinks and I got the food. He decided that we should eat the food back at my dorm. The silence between us while we ate was never awkward. It felt comfortable. We speak when something came up... since we talk a lot it was all about trying to figure out if we had already told the other about it. We have had a few too many laughs between us about repeating stories.

We are just sitting at my table, and full from our meals. Phi has started to look at his phone and his other hand is placed on the table. My internal monologue was Do it and just accept whatever punishment you receive. The more I debated the more desperate the feeling became. I couldn't take it anymore I reached over and put my hand over top of his.

P'Arthit instantly drops his phone and tries to pull his hand away. I look at him pleading..."Please P'Arthit just for a few seconds." He looks me very vulnerable in this moment. My face must show exactly how I feel; Elated, but Exposed. I'm displaying my heart to him. It felt as though time stopped as we just smiled. I could feel the tension in his hand let go. I wanted to change the position of my hand because I wanted to feel his hand holding mine. He watched me attentively move my hand to the desired position. My heart is beating, so fast being this close to him. We might have kissed, but that was different. This feels more intimate... it could be because we are secure inside my room. Which means, no one can question or tease us. We can safely figure out what are our true feelings are for one another.

The moment ends when P'Arthit's cellphone starts to ring, the usually robot ringtone blaring. He snatches his hand away and picks up his phone from the floor. He breathlessly answers, "what do you want, Ai'Bright!" He is clearly irritated and to be honest I am too. I had Phi's hand in mine, and now I don't. He had to call now... I almost want to curse him, but thankfully I was born with tolerance. Let's just hope he doesn't push me passed that...

P'Arthit and P'Bright are talking about another assignment that I know phi had finished a few days ago. Which can only means it's due tomorrow and P'Bright has not finished it. I grab all our dinner dishes and decided to clean up the dorm while they speak. Only taking a few glances at him. When P'Arthit is concentrating he has this expression that says "tease me". I'm kidding... only I want to do that. Everyone else runs away. I am glad nobody sees how beautiful and capable of man he truly is.

I am nearly finished when P'Arthit walks over to me, "hey, I think I have to leave. Ai'Bright is struggling with his assignment and Ai'Knott is ignoring his calls. I kind of wished I had my phone on silent... his voice begins to lower as he said it. His reddening face indicates he realized what we would still be doing. He is so cute. "P'Arthit? Are you okay? Do you need a moment." I playfully ask him. "KONGPOB!" "Khrap, P'Arthit." "Shut up!" "But Phi, I didn't say anything!" "You did and you know it. You sly dog!" I laughed. the type of laugh that comes straight from the belly. P'Arthit continues to shake his head as puts on his shoes. "P'Arthit, your forgetting your laptop..." I rush over to the bed and put the laptop in his forgotten bag. "Here" he grabs it from my hands... our hands touch slightly. A thin smile is on his Rosy face. "Thanks Kong, for today." With that he left my flatlet, and it instantly felt colder. His presence really is as warm as his namesake.
I think I'm falling in love with you, A'Oon.
