Bangkok.
Perth just turned at the corner near his bedroom when his phone rang from his shorts pocket. He frowned looking at the caller ID. He just wanted to have a nice cold shower after finishing his morning run but his friend decided to ruin it.
He let the call went to his mailbox before he grinned satisfied. He was about to enter his room when a text came in. He opened the text.
Bring your portfolio that I asked before!!! Meet me at the usual on 2.
He groaned when another one came in.
I meant it Perth!
He groaned again before he changed his route. He walked to the west side of the second floor before he arrived in front of the library. He opened the wooden door before he stepped into the room. He was about to walk to the desk when he saw someone was doing something near the book shelf. He stared at the person's back figure. He or she was a maid. The body was quite small. If he walked forward a little bit, he could see under that person's skirt.
Perth walked forward to tease that person when the small person slipped on the ladder. His reflex told him to open his arm. He fell on his butt with an armful of warm and soft creature. "Uugh!" He grunted because a round bum was sitting on his lap near his crotch. That person smelled like candy, strawberry candy. He was about to take a whiff of the fluffy hair before the creature scrambled away from his lap.
That creature kneeled on the floor with his eyes looking down on the floor. "Oh my God! I'm really sorry. I was trying to push that book and I need to climb the ladder. I slipped when I want to climb further. I'm so really sorry.." The creature rambled out.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Perth asked while looking at the creature with amusement.
When that creature lifted his eyes, their eyes met, and the earth stopped spinning.
"A boy" Perth thought. "And a cute one at that" He gave his best smile.
The boy was really small, no, petite. He had an hourglass figure. His shiny
caramel fringe hung over his forehead. His lips were raw red, like strawberry's flesh. His eyes, oh his eyes is so warm and cute. His skin looked moist and a little pinkish like a cotton candy. Perth wanted to taste it.
None of them started to move. They were just staring at each other. Perth stood up from his sit while clearing his throat before he offered a hand to that boy. "Stand up, little one."
The boy stared at the opened palm but doing nothing to take that hand. The boy stood from his kneeling while brushing on his skirt.
Perth pouted before he retracted his hand. "A difficult one." He thought.
"What's your name?" He asked the boy.
"Pardon?" The petite boy asked with a confused face.
"Your name.." Perth said while lifting his thick brow.
"Erm, S... Sun. My name is Sun." Saint lied. He thought that by giving a fake name, it would lessen the risk of getting punished in the Future.
Perth lifted his brows. "Sun..." he tested the name on his tongue. It didn't really suit the petite boy, he thought. But if he said so.
"What are you doing up there, Sun...?" He asked after a while.
"I was trying to arrange the book. But it was far up there so I had to use the ladder." Saint explained.
"Ahh... I see." Perth clicked his tongue.
Saint fidgeted on his feet while looking at the floor. "Sir, if you will excuse me. I need to finish cleaning this room before afternoon"
"Oh, sure. Continue your work. Please don't mind me." Perth permitted smiling.
He went to the desk at the corner of the room before he plopped down on the chair. He whistled some tunes while pretending looking around in the drawer.
Saint looked at him disbelieving before he huffed softly. He would just ignore the unknown man. He had more important matter to attend to.
Time passed slowly in the library. When Saint had finished his cores and he cleaned the tools he felt goosebumps on his nape. He forgot that the man was still in the room. He snapped his head looking behind him. The man was caught looking at him with wide eyes and red face.
Perth coughed loudly before he literally jumped from the chair. He ran his fingers through his hair. "I think that I should go now. I finally found the file." He said to Saint while showing a thick file in his hand.
Saint nodded his head slowly while looking at him.
"Sir." Saint called him when he was about to touch the door knob.
"Yes Sun?" Perth said.
"If you don't mind I'm asking, may I know who you are?" Saint asked him.
Perth gave him a smile, "My name is Perth. See you soon little one." With that he disappeared from behind the door.
Saint huffed under his breath. "Who does he think he is?" He thought. He knew it was none of his business but that Perth man was quite attractive. He had an alabaster skin tone. He was tall and lean and built with the right amount of muscles under the white t-shirt. His nose and angled jaw looked defined. His lips looked plump and when he smiled, he seemed so gorgeous. Saint wanted to poke the cute dents. And his hair, dark brown fell just below his ears. It looked like chocolate fountain and Saint wondered how would it feel to run his fingers through it. Saint shook his head repeatedly shooing the thoughts away from his mind.
"You're here to work Saint. Focus!" He told himself before he picked the tools and left the library.
Perth ruffled his hair before he brushed it backward using his fingers. No he didn't need comb. He wore his rings while admiring himself in front of the mirror. He wore a black skinny jeans paired with a striped shirt leaving a few buttons undone. There was a pair of brown boots on his feet. He spritzed on his cologne before he went back into his bedroom to grab his necessities. He grabbed his hat before he left the room. He smiled at the workers that greeted him when they saw him.
"Young master."
Perth stopped at the foyer before he turned behind him looking at a familiar old man standing near the stairs.
"Yes Albert."
"Madam asked for you to have the dinner with her later." Albert informed him.
Perth hummed. "Tell her that I'll try to. But no promise." He gave a small smile to Albert before he left through the front door. Three minutes later, a shiny white Audi R8 sprinted through the front driveway.
"Mean!" Perth shouted at his best friend who was sitting on one of the chair with a MacBook opened in front of him and multiple papers scattered on the table.
"Perth!" Mean said excitedly. He stood
from his chair before he ran towards Perth to snatch the thick file in Perth's hand. He ran back to his chair before he typed something on the keyboard.
Perth rolled his eyes. "Nice to meet you... friend." He accentuated on the friend word.
"Perth, you know that this report is gonna be a support paper for my internship. I was required to make a journal about business management's law and clause. There's no more suitable source than you." Mean explained without raising his eyes from the computer screen.
"Yes I know. But you could have wait for this weekend." Perth exclaimed.
"You know the sooner is the better right Perth? I'm sure a future businessman like you learn about planning." Mean replied.
"And I'm sure that you're going to be an aspiring lawyer Mean. I can't wait to be your client." Perth mocked him.
"Thank you Perth!" Mean replied monotonously.
They spent their time by having discussion about Mean's report and changing opinions. They were about to finish their bachelor degree and planning on their internship.
"I'm about to finish drafting my report. Want to have dinner at the pub?"
Perth glanced at his wristwatch before he shook his head. "No, maybe next time. I need to have dinner at home." He informed.
"Of course. Momma boy." Mean smirked at him.
Perth glared at the puppy-like man.
"So, any developement with Blue?" Mean suddenly asked him.
Perth groaned. "Give it a rest. It was just for a night. No strings attached." He exclaimed.
"He spreaded the opposite. I heard at the party last weekend." Mean l said.
"Jesus... just ignore him. People know I have many friends, and apparently I'm dating all of them." Perth snorted. He threw his gaze outside. The sky was really clear on that evening. He remembered on someone. A smirk formed on his face.
"I found a new amusement." Perth said to Mean.
"Boy or girl?" Mean asked him interested.
"Of course a boy!" Perth exclaimed.
"Who's that poor boy this time?" Mean asked him.
"I'm going to show you when you come over." Perth grinned.
"Hmm.. maybe next time. I have to finish this journal before weekend.
"Fine." Perth said.
"Wait! Where did you meet him?" Mean asked him again.
"He works in my home. He's a maid." Perth informed.
"Perth! You cannot do that. It's against the employment's policy." Mean exclaimed.
"Give me a break Mean! I won't do anything to him. I just want to play a little bit." Perth explained.
Mean narrowed his brown eyes judging his best friend. "Keep that in your mind. I don't want for you to do anything that you'll regret later. Poor boy just want to work, to earn money."
Perth huffed softly. "I know. I know... You're like a grandpa."
Mean just glared at him. "You're going to need this grandpa help one day."
Perth just scoffed ignoring his best friend before resuming drinking his latte.
