All Strings Attached

Chapter 12

"Have you always lived here in Bangkok?" Win asked, wondering what lake he was talking about. He stared at Bright's face who didn't reply.

Win waited for a while but then looked ahead at the water, talking to himself "Alright I thought we were trying to get to know eachother "

Bright immediately looked at Win, his eyes speaking in a language that Win was unable to understand.

Win glanced at him, giving him rare expressions to provoke him to surrender his stubbornness but Bright didn't say anything.

Win sighed in frustration and asked "Is this the last time you're going to abduct me?"

Bright shook his head, truthfully .

"Then how about we open up to  eachother a little bit? Didn't you say you wants to know me?" Win asked, his eyes curious.

Bright thought a little , looking down at his arms wrapped around his folded legs and looked back at Win with serious expressions "I just want to taste you"

Win gasped followed by a groan, feeling helpless. He gave up and just sat quietly, looking at the water flowing calmly, leaves casually floating in it. Win got occupied pretty easily as he saw a bug sitting on a floating leaf, crossing the stream and thought it was pretty cool. If only he was a bug, he would definitely try that! Unless he has wings and can just fly across the whole stream.

"If you wonna get to know each other" Bright finally spoke , his voice low and unsure. It seemed like he was thinking about it for a while . Win looked at him and Bright did the same , continuing "How about we play a game? You ask me something and in return will have to answer one of my questions"

Win nodded pretty happily. It sounded like a very profitable deal. There was literally nothing secretive about Win. He was like an open book.

He immediately turned his sitting position, now  facing Bright who kept looking at water flowing.

"What did you mean when you said 'we used to go fishing'? Win asked, stressing the word we. Bright kept looking at the bowed branch of old tree, focusing at the leaf that was about to fall in water but the tree wasn't letting it go.

"Me and my Father" Bright replied shortly, his voice numb.

Win nodded his head "I thought so. Did you have any siblings too? "

Bright raised his index finger and replied "One question at a time only"

"Alright ask your question" Win replied, his body relaxing at the easy task. Bright smirked and looked at Win before asking

"At what time of day do you masturbate?"

Win gasped loudly and saw Bright chuckling "You're so shameless I swear!"

"Don't back off " Bright said, his voice had hint of enjoyment.

"I am not answering that!" Win protested with frown on his face. Bright shrugged his shoulders carelessly and went back to his water view , picking up a small stick to shake that particular leaf, wanting it to fall down in water.

Win kept sitting quietly, feeling his cheeks getting heated. He looked at Bright again and asked "At what age did you start  robing people?"

Bright didn't give him any reply, but instead tapped on his own wristwatch, indicating to his previous question. Win noticed that Bright was wearing the watch he stole from him.
