It was love at first sight for Arthit.
He could tell.
He found him magnetically attractive, as soon as he landed his eyes on Kongpob, the motivational speaker.
No, Arthit was not a fan of his, never ever heard him speak before. This would be the first time.
His friend Knott dragged him here. Apparently, this Kongpob was a junior of Knott's at school, and they were still pretty close and connected.
And Arthit could not be more thankful to Knott for dragging him here.
---------------------------------------------------------
"Hello", said Kongpob when, Knott introduced them.
"Hi, nice to meet you", said Arthit shaking hands. [ And might I add, I feel happy that I came here ]
"So Arthit, why don't you tell Kongpob, how well you liked the program", said Knott.
A slight blush came on Arthit's cheeks, and he regretted the moment he gushed about Kongpob to Knott as soon as it ended,
" I liked it very much. And you are true to your fame" [ and I really liked your voice, that it made me wonder, how it would sound like in....]
Arthit stopped abruptly.
Kongpob smiled, and a twinkle came in his eyes.
"Thank you"
"Then, shall we proceed to dinner", asked Knott.
--------------------------------------------------------
Currently they were seated at a round table, waiting for their dinner.
Knott and Kongpob were chit chatting.
And Arthit was being his awkward, quite self.
More like, enjoying the way Kongpob was smelling.
Their dinner arrived, and Kongpob declared, " Smells heavenly. I feel so hungry".
"Yes, it does", Arthit agreed. [ But you smell more heavenly than the food]
In between their dinner, Knott offered him one drink,
"Arthit, you should really try this, it's very good!"
Kongpob, who was having the same drink, agreed," yes P'Arthit. You must definitely try it"
"Ok". [ Can I try it from your lips?]
Arthit blushed prettily, as Kongpob watched him take a sip with an amused expression.
Just. What is going on in his mind. He wondered.
They finished their dinner in a good time. And Kongpob decided to pay.
"But....", Arthit argued.
"Please P'Arthit, I insist."
"Hmmm....ok". [ So can I pay the next time? ]
---------------------------------------------------------
They were taking a stroll inside a park.
Knott and Kongpob were talking again about something.
And Arthit?
Arthit was just enjoying his company, and listening to his voice.
"Now , I must take my leave"
Arthit's head snapped at him. [ What!!so soon!!]
"Yeah, actually I have to go and meet my mother now. She is waiting for me"
They said their goodbyes, as Arthit visibly deflated.
" Well P'Arthit, I can drop you if you want. P'knott lives in the different route"
"Ya..sure sure", Knott readily agreed, and then left.
Arthit sat inside the car and Kongpob started playing some songs.
" I liked that song! Didn't you P'Arthit!!"
Well, Arthit wasn't listening to any songs. His own heart was thudding so hard, that he was afraid of Kongpob hearing it. But still he agreed,
"Yeah! I liked it. "
" Should we replay it?"
"Yeah I would like that." [ But I would like to kiss you, more]
Kongpob chuckled as he replayed the song.
This time, Arthit decided to listen attentively. And to his surprise, it was an old song by Elvis Presley - ' Can't help falling in love'
By the time the song finished, they reached their destination.
' I must be a fool then', Arthit sighed.
' I fell in love at first sight'.
As Arthit made a motion to open the door and get out, Kongpob grabbed his collar and pulled him in for a kiss.
" Me too" chuckled Kongpob, " Be ready to pay for the dinner tomorrow"
And with a wink, he left.
