Chapter 9

Phun doesn't let me go for a long while and what can I do but stand there and let him hold me. Still I was confused, I thought he accepted Nong Ruth's feelings and he was going to start having a girlfriend. If not then what was I feeling so depressed for just now?

"Phun," I finally have to call him otherwise we wouldn't leave there. He pulled back and I took in his expression, the same way he searched mine.

"Noh, do you understand?" he asked.

"No," I admitted immediately, let's not joke here now. "What do you mean be with you, didn't you decide to be with Ruth? Did you suddenly want to start having two wives?"

"Didn't you set it up?" was he trying to argue with me, I thought he wanted to be with me.

"Is that the point?" I wasn't just going to take the blame here, "I definitely saw you hugging Ruth."

He laughed, "So you came to watch us. Were you scared I'd get taken away."

He even has the guts to tease me. "Who was scared, I was just walking by, asshole. Did you or not."

"I..." he drew the word. He was being so mean to me. "Did... not."

I shoved his chest. I should smack him for making my heart nearly freeze with tension. He laughed at me for a moment then went serious fast. "Be with me, Noh."

Humph, since he liked to tease so much I will tease him too. "As your what? As your friend?"

"As my driver jerk." Look at him acting smart with me. I sealed my lips.

"Noh, I don't want you to be with anyone else and I don't want to be with anyone else either."

I focused on him as he talked. We still did not have our memories though. As if reading my thoughts he said: "we don't have to remember everything, we can just start anew and learn about who we are little bit at a time."

I exhaled and looked to the side, pretending to be thinking about it. I can't be too easy you know. I spied his serious and pleading face and lost, then I subtly nodded.

"Is that a yes Noh?" he asked.

"hm."

"huh?"

I glared at him and he hugged me despite my attempts to avoid him. He held me tight by the waist and pressed his face to my shoulder. "Come on Noh, let me hear it."

"Yes damn it!" I yelled.

So now I have a boyfriend. Instead of things feeling awkward, it became easier as if not being with Phun had been the awkward part. Let me tell you I am not happy. I can't believe that I have to turn down all the cute girls that come my way with little heart shaped boxes of chocolate.

It would be valentine tomorrow and Phun and I have been dating for a week. We went on dates, just living normally. I'm not even that embarrassed when he holds my hand in public but I always clock him in the head when he is being an ass with me.

Anyway, I'm not sure if guys are supposed to do this valentine thing.

"That's retarded," Word told me when I said it. "Why can't guys do valentine with their boyfriends."

"Are you doing it?" I asked.

"We are not talking about me here. You should do something with Phun."

"Like what, go on a trip together?" as soon as I said it I just knew I shot myself in the mouth. Damn it.

"Sounds good," Word said with a backup support from Road.

"Uh," I needed a way out of this. Everybody knows what happens on couple trips. I'm not ready to deal with that yet. Phun and I haven't even kissed. I've been kind of distracting him any time he wants to do it and I make sure not to be alone with him. "Phun probably has something to do."

"Its valentine, even Phun can get away. I'll ask him."

"Don't ask him you asshole," I shouted from across the room and dumped my guitar when I see Word's fingers tapping away on his phone. Damn it, this asshole is asking for a beating.

I kicked his sorry ass when I got to him but he flew off and ran around the room even while I warned him not to say anything to Phun.

"Phun said that he wants to talk to you," he said while I chased him and I stopped. I pulled out my phone and wrote fast. Don't listen to him, Phun, we don't need to go on any trip.

His reply came fast. Trip? Noh, do you want to go on a trip for valentine?

What? I blinked up at Word and saw his grinning face. This asshole lied about telling Phun and now that student council secretary who can be like a dog with a bone is definitely not going to leave this alone. I sighed and completely gave up trying to lie or fight this.

Phun has been remembering things during the last week. At first he was like me: just knowing something about the other person without actually knowing but now he could even describe events that took place and tell it to me. Some of them were right down hilarious. I can't believe how much fun we had together.

As we drove to Hua Sin for our trip, Phun was telling me about a similar trip we took while we still in highschool. Him with Aim and me with Yuri, that made four of us. Considering how things were between us I can only think of it as a very awkward trip. I still haven't heard anything from Yuri, even though I sent her many messages. Ohm replied me last week and of course he only had dumb shit to say. But I missed him, and even Yuri.

As we laughed and Phun drove, I felt like I was a fool to have been afraid of coming on this trip with Phun. I forgot that Phun was really a great guy to have around.

"So then did we sleep in the same room after?" I asked.

He looked at me then back to the road and nodded. I don't know, there was something on his face, like he wanted to smile but was barely keeping himself.

"What else happened," I asked.

"You don't want to know," he said.

I paused and leaned over, "is it some kinky stuff?"

He laughed and shook his head, "it was just a kiss. But I wished it was some kinky stuff. But remember Noh, Aim and Yuri were in the other room."

"Oh. " I nodded. It was kinda fun hearing about all this. No it was a lot of fun, but why aren't my memories coming. No matter how many times I hear these first hand stories from Phun, I can't remember anything. Phun says it's okay but I know he wants me to remember too.

"Don't worry, you will remember too soon."

How does he do that. "Are you inside my head? Did you plant a bug," I asked, seriously and half jokingly. He knows me too well.

"No,' he laughed, "you are such a smartass you know that."

I shrugged.

When we reached the hotel, it was the same one. I think Phun is hopeful that I would remember something. I am only cautiously hopeful. It just doesn't seem fair that only Phun gets to remember all the good stuff.

The hotel was decorated for valentine with a lot of red and heart shapes. Phun and I went swimming, and I pretended to have a leg cramp just so Phun can carry me, but my fake leg cramp turned real.

Phun pressed his palm to my face softly; it was cool against my warm skin. "Noh, you look burnt." Not the sweetest word to say with that gesture. Was he really romantic?

"Aw, that's the best thing anyone has ever told me," I said.

"I told you to use sunscreen."

"It's itchy," I replied back.

We had to cut our swimming early and I got a nice massage. We had dinner under the stars and I was grinning and laughing my head off at all the things Phun was saying to me. I had so much fun that I forgot the reason I was dreading to go on this trip. Until we had to sleep.

Naturally, Phun and I got one room. It had two beds, but that didn't comfort me. As we entered I kept turning to spy on Phun. I don't know what I was expecting. That he would suddenly pop out a condom and jump me? No way, I don't want to do that, not yet. But how do I tell him.

"Noh, are you going to sleep."

Wow, great excuse. Immediately I yawned and sat on the bed. "Yeah, I feel tired."

"I didn't know you were driving all day," he was such a nag. I twisted my mouth and said,

"Okay, you are more tired."

He smiled and sat in front of me on the other bed. "This was exactly how that night was."

I looked at him skeptically.

"I was jealous of you and Yuri."

"Me and Yuri, why?"

"You were hugging."

"Oh like you and Nong ruth."

He laughed," exactly."

I smiled.

"And I said that I couldn't control myself around you and kissed your forehead."

"Oh so you had self-control," I teased and laughed when he tries to kick me.

"I still do, ass, otherwise I would..."

I paused, my smile fleeing into memory. "You'll what."

"Noh," he paused as if considering what he wanted to say. "Do you want to hear about our almost kiss?"

"hm," I nodded.

He came over and sat next to me. "We seated just like this," I shifted so I could look directly at him. "And then I leaned forward,"

"Why," I cleared my throat, it suddenly felt a little dry, "why did you lean forward."

"Because I was pulled by your eyes," his eyes were locked with mine and I couldn't look away. "Your lips. They were almost red. I wanted to kiss you."

I licked my lips, "what did I do?"

"You leaned forward too, like you couldn't help yourself," his voice was low, I guess so that he could speak more softly since I was already next to him.

"Like this?" I asked, feeling my cheeks flame slowly.

"Exactly like that."

I licked my lips again and Phun came in closer till our breaths mixed and my racing heart sped faster. I could feel my pulse jumping. This feeling was making my head go blank. Just before Phun would kiss me, I sensed him pulling away and I followed like I was being pulled along and our lips touched. His were cool, soft and nothing like I imagined.

He pulled back and I opened my eyes to see him blinking at me. I didn't understand the look on his face, and more importantly, my body does not understand why he was not next to me and why I can't feel his lips on mine. I was aching so bad I was panting.

"Noh," he breathe. "You have to make me stop," he said, "I can't stop myself anymore. I want you."

I nodded because I want Phun too. He kissed me, hard. I wrapped my arms around him as I fell back on the bed. He was on top of me, straddling me and his mouth was having no mercy on me. I loved it, I was moaning against his mouth and I can't stop myself either.

I wanted to smack Phun for making lame jokes about what we did last night.

"Hey Noh, do you need me to massage you?" I glared at him expecting him to add something else to that supposedly innocent question. "What, you just look so miserable."

"Whose fault is it," I snapped and lowered my head back on the bed. This asshole didn't stop even at the second round, how am I not going to be sore like a stocked pig the next day. I am a fool for just getting carried away and letting this jerk do that to me.

"Don't be mad," he pressed a kiss to my shoulder. "I was a little too hungry for you last night," he whispered in my ear. I turned to bite him.

"Don't even think I'm letting you touch me again," I said just to be spiteful, after all I—shamefully— enjoyed everything we did last night. It didn't feel new, my body felt used to it, missed it too, but I wasn't going to let this guy off the hook just like that.

See, there is some perks to having Phun at my mercy. He brings me breakfast in bed, my favorite snacks, my favorite show, I call him for the littlest things. Then he said,

"Noh, heal up fast for tonight."

My eyes widen and he grinned. What, don't even think about it. "You get ready for tonight, "I told him.

"Me?"

"Yes, you." Did he think I was going to take it all myself. I gave him my most sweet smile, "it doesn't hurt one bit. You will like it."

He shrugged, "sure, if you plan to drive us home tomorrow."

I squeezed my mouth together. Bully. That night I convinced Phun to be satisfied with just a cuddle then the next morning we did it again before we left.

Once back on the road, Phun started to tell me about our memories. It made me remember that I was the only one who hasn't remembered even one minute of our past together. What if I never remember? I smiled the whole time we were on the road and laughed at his antics, but inside I felt a little cold.
