GAP : Pink Theory

Differences - Chapter 25

"Finally, the strangest couple of the year made up."

Kate said, before applauding cheerfully, because she made our dream possible. I look away in shame. I don't know what to do. It's just weird.

We're two women in a relationship. Her friends act like nothing happened. I don't know if I should be happy or not.

"You two are in a relationship and now?" Tee is smiling maliciously at me. "If you want some tips, just ask."

"Do you need to teach her about love?" Khun Sam asks Tee. Tee laughs.

"Did you see? You're jealous. I don't intend to teach, just in case something... if you get in trouble... I'm a professional."

I don't understand the 'something' because I've never had a girlfriend before. Khun Sam is my first and I don't know what to do next.

"Anyway, now we're a couple. How would it be different from before?" I interrupt the conversation. They're all silent, including Khun Sam.

"I know... it's not easy." Jim slaps himself on the forehead like she's tired of me. Kate sighs because she got it right.

"But I don't think it's going to be that hard."

"It's easy." Khun Sam said it like she was a professional. "It must just be different."

Tee looks proudly at Khun Sam and gently puts her hand on her shoulder.

"At least you're smart now."

"So how different?" I look at Khun Sam with interest. She answers me confidently as she winks at me.

"You can borrow my money."

"..."

"Normally I don't spend money for anyone, because I'm afraid of ruining friendship. If you borrow it, I won't be worried, because you're not my friend."

Tee lowers his head on the table and regrets it.

"Somebody kill me, please."

I'm paralyzed because I'm too embarrassed to say something, I look shyly at Khun Sam.

"Do you want to say something? Stretch the spine and be confident."

Khun Sam straightens my spine and when she does it I short-circuit.

"S... Yes,"Yes,'

"So?"

"So what?"

"What do you want to tell me?"

"Oh!..." I dry my sweat. They're all looking at me interested, waiting for what I have to say. "I have a question."

"Which one?"

"If you don't hate me. Why were you trying to force me to resign?"

Now she avoids my eyes. Her friends are laughing like they already know the answer.

"... Tell her, P.P. Why were you trying to get her to resign?"

"Be quiet."

"I'm quiet now, tell her."

She coughs and says with her face all blushed.

"By company rules. If an employee has a loving relationship in the workplace, they should be fired."

"..."

"So I was trying to force. I'm going to..." Khun Sam has a short breath. "I'm going to... be in a relationship with you."

Now I'm so ashamed, my face gets hot and my mouth is shaking. Oh, I need cold water.

"You were planning to be my girlfriend. Didn't you want to ask me to date first?"
