Choices II

"Just spit it out" Phana said, seeing how Ming was talking fast to hide his nerves... he can always turn him down if he confesses again and he was sure Ming will behave within his limits this time.

"I still have not changed, my offer is still valid... one night stand and that is it. I still cannot get over you and I really want you screaming my name under me as we both come undone" Ming said with a slight smirk as he observed Phana becoming flustered with his every word, before the other could say of punch him he added "but... all I am trying to be now if your friend"

"Friend?" Phana leaned back into his chair and folded his arms, his lips pressed into a thin line.

"Yes... friendship" Ming said, "I would like friends with benefits – if and only if you want". He leaned in, resting his face on his left hand, "we will anyways have to work on couple of projects until this year ends... and it will be uncomfortable for us both... so how about a deal Phi?"

Phana was really surprised, Ming seemed like a natural flirt and was a smooth talker. He couldn't help but think that smile and twinkle in his eyes helped him a lot and right now with his hair neatly combed back Ming was indeed handsome.

"Your ears are turning pink Phi... are you angry or embarrassed?" Ming asked, he quickly smiled and pulled back "okay angry" when Phana glared at him, he was frustrated with himself for admiring the playboy in front of him.

"I can't help but tease you... you are so cute!" Ming said, "but I will be within my limits, there won't be any pictures or videos that will cause you pain ever... and we will have the benefits only if you want"

"You are incorrigible" Phana said with a frown.

"yes, but I make a really good friend" Ming got up, collected his things and walked away after saying "why don't you try me Phi?"

"why don't you answer it?" Beam asked later that evening. They were all gathered in Kit's room working on a assignment and Phana's phone had been buzzing non-stop. Kit picked up the phone "12 messaged from Mingkwan.ECM?!"

"Engineering Campus moon" Phana said, "ignore he just needs some information on the fundraiser that we need to plan for next weekend". Kit laughed at the way Phana had saved Ming's name on the phone. Beam chuckled as well "do you need help?"

"I can handle him" Phana said not really listening which made Kit and Beam look at each other once, "we meant the fundraiser... but do tell, what is he doing that needs you to handle him"

Phana glared at Beam who had a mischievous grin on... one that had been missing for past couple of weeks but Phana knew not to say anything.

"he can't be more pain than you... with your obsessions for perfection" Kit laughed, "but hey... wait... he is the same one who you had spanked right? In the pool... that video?"

"Your fan page has been notoriously silent for couple of weeks – just your pictures" Beam said, "I wonder why they took that video down – did you do something?" he asked Kit, "by the time I traced the page owners the video was gone"

"No... I spoke to Nam, but he said someone beat me to it and they had it taken down the very next day" Kit said, "I had assumed it must have been one of you two"

There won't be any pictures or videos that will cause you pain ever Ming's words rang loud in Phana's ear making him frown a bit. "Give me that" Phana extended his hands for the phone, Kit handed it over wordlessly.

'Ming – was it you who took down those videos?' he messaged his junior who responded instantly

'yup'
