Chapter 27: I felt it too
Once I finished the sentence, everyone was quiet. Bua covered her mouth with her hands and looked the other way shyly. Nutshell covered her own face. But Titang was laughing because she knew it all along.
"I'm so shy."
Bua said, twisted around. Her face turned red. "I felt so romantic."
"I felt passionate."
Nutshell said twisted around too. "I felt hungry."
"What's wrong with being hungry?"
Titang said annoyingly when all friends looked at her judgingly. "Congratulations to you two. You two finally understood each other."
Pam sat with her chin on her palm and looked at the table awkwardly. She might have wanted to drink something but didn't place the order. Everyone at the table was so shy until Nutshell asked about something. She was the quiet one but not today, not about my relationship.
"What do you like about Ruk? We probably be friends for too long. I can't find her positive side, except dirty, easy going, and simple looking. What she has compared to you is like an angel and demon. She's like a hooker."
"@#$%A"
"What I meant about hooker is that she is nice to everybody."
That still wasn't a good explanation. I looked at Pam fearfully. I wasn't sure how much she could take with these rude words. Pam looked at her understandingly and answered the question like a job interview.
"She is nice to everyone. That makes it easier for me to talk to her. I don't have many friends. Growing up, I have a few numbers of people to talk to." "You are very beautiful. Women don't like you."
Bua explained and continued.
"I'm sorry I have to be direct. It's just an observation."
"Ruk was the one who told her friends that she pitied me; she didn't judge me when other people thought I was arrogant. She was the only person who smiled at me when she didn't even know me."
I don't remember when I said that to my friends. But I always smile at everybody. I always admired her because she was a beautiful girl. I smiled because I wanted to get close to her. I thanked myself for that.
"She has beautiful handwriting too."
Pam added. I always wondered what she talked about. Oat, her other friend, mentioned this when we met too.
" Can you fall in love because of beautiful handwriting? Maybe that explains why I don't have anyone."
Nutshell joked about herself and took a sip of her coffee. Pam laughed and explained a bit more.
"She expressed her feelings through beautiful handwriting. I was impressed."
"What?"
I looked at her wondering what she meant. Pam played with her coffee's raw and continued to explain.
"I always knew that Kawee's letter was written by you." Stunned...
I never had thought the beautiful face knew that love letter was mine. When I sent that letter it was just to help my brother out. The content in the letter was my feeling for her. My heart pounded uncontrollably. I reached out to touch her.
"But you never mentioned anything."
"I didn't have to say anything. I just knew."
The sweet face played with my ponytail adoringly.
"I just didn't like it when Kawee acted as if that was him. Shame on him! "
Her harsh tone made my friends on the table look at each other awkwardly. Pam was someone who was always nice to be around when she's in the good mood but when she was in a bad mood the whole world could turn upside down. The atmosphere could change abruptly once she switched her mood.
"When did you like Pam? You couldn't like her since high school because that was when Pam was with Kawee."
Nutshell darted a question like a professional journalist in a press conference.
"I don't know, I'm always impressed with her." "But you like boys."
Bua shot a fatal question. I sighed and explained how I felt.
"I am a woman who flirts with men but there is no man that I am attracted to as much as this woman."
I smiled at Pam. My heart was full of love.
"If it wasn't Pam, I wouldn't like any woman as much as any guy."
I explained casually but all of my friends seemed impressed with the definition I gave. Even Pam looked away shyly. She was so shy that she couldn't make eye contact. The sweet face's hand was holding my hand under the table. She said in a low voice but didn't look at me.
"That's how I feel too."
All my friends said goodbye and left the coffee shop with their hearts full of excitement. Bua whispered to me before she left saying.
"I'm rooting for you."
"I should try dating a woman too. "
Bua said I thought inspired her. Pam waited until I finished work and we went home together. The conversation we had today made us happy. Our hands held tighter and we both felt more confidence about the relationship.
"Who do you think likes who first?"
The sweet face looked at me and smiled. "It must be me,"
Pam said.
"If you really liked me first, it wouldn't be so difficult and so long like this. Don't you remember when I told you I love you last year. You were so mad at me. You called me a pervert and disappeared for a year."
"Why did you mention this again?" Her tone was apologetic.
"I didn't know anything back then."
"Then why did you say you like me first?"
I laughed. We walked and held hands along the way. The distance was too short.
"I dated Kawee because of the letter you. sent."
My heart pumped up bigger. I didn't ask more when we were with my friends. I should ask her now.
"How did you know that it was me?" "Your handwriting.
Pam shrugged,
"I knew that when I tutored you."
"But before that you would think that Kawee sent the letter."
"Yes, that was true. I was impressed with the letter that was why I started chatting with Kawee. Then, I knew Kawee wasn't the man in the letter."
Pam looked at the sky and held her other wrist from her back, trying to memorize what had happened.
"Kawee isn't someone who pays attention to details. He is talkative and has a bad joke. He isn't sensitive, unlike that person in the letter. It notices every detail about me. I also talked to him because I knew he was your brother."
"Ah,ha"
"I'm probably interested in you a long time ago. Maybe this means I like you first."
The sweet face gave me a smile that made me shy. I had to look away.
"If the details in the letter were so accurate, that means I really paid attention to you first. Otherwise; there won't be any letter."
We teased each other about who likes who first and we were not sure who won the competition. But it made my heart as big as a balloon.
"I am happy we met again. I have to thank whoever sent you an invitation to Kawee's wedding. We won't be walking like this together without that.
"Actually."
Pam hesitated to talk.
"I didn't have an invitation," " Huh.. "
"I went on my own. I wanted to see you."
Pam said and looked away embarrassedly. I almost fainted when I realized how much she liked me.
"Thank you for coming to that wedding, Otherwise; we won't be walking together like this."
I thought about that day and couldn't help but ask about Oat. "How about Oat? Where is she now?"
"I just told her that it won't work. She understood that. She wasn't clingy and not silly. Or maybe she did and I didn't know."
She was still a queen of not caring about what other people thought about her. It was so good to be the one person that she cared.
"How did you two know each other?" "She is a friend of a friend. "
"Is she a dentist too?"
"No, She is a medical student."
"A medical student, not a dentist?" "Yes."
Is this real? She was so good-looking, rich, tall, smart but Pam didn't care about her. I felt so little compared to her. Pam continued talking and didn't notice how I felt.
"She reached out when you and I separated. I thought about you when I met her. I wanted to give it a try but I knew it wouldn't work, so I assumed I didn't like girls. I thought I didn't like you."
"I like men too."
I said but Pam was now quiet as if she didn't like what I said. I quickly explained,
"But I like you more."
"It's like you and Oat. It won't work either."
I said feeling guilty. I replaced the man with someone I wanted. We held hands and walked quietly for a while until Pam broke the silence.
"Don't you want to spend a night with me?" "I have a class in the morning."
"I can drive you in the morning."
"Why don't you spend a night with me?" "Sure."
The sweet face replied quickly. I laughed and realized that she was very attached to me.
"What are you laughing about? Didn't you want to spend a night together? Am I the only one who wanted to be together?. "
"Don't be sulky. I laughed because I thought you were cute." I rested my head on the higher shoulder.
"I couldn't focus today in class. I had you in my head all the time. Now you picked me up wearing your cute white gown that I'm obsessed with. This is very seductive. "
"I can wear this everyday if you really like it." "I love it the most when you wear nothing."
The sweet face all of the sudden quiet. Her face turned so red but not disgusted from what I said.
"You like to make dirty jokes."
"I like to tease you and see when you're shy, You are cute." "I have a lot to show you. "
"Such as?
"If you're very curious. "
Pam paused and stuttered out:
"Why don't you move in with me?" "Ah?"
I was surprised to see her not confident. When did she get the idea? Today? After we.....
"Ummm. how is it going to work?" I pretended to be hesitant.
"If you can explain the benefit of moving in together, I might do it today."
"If you move in with me, you will see me both in a short gown and in a longer gown."
I smiled at the corner of my lip. She knew from my friends that I liked the uniform and she tried to seduce me with it.
"Just the gown?"
"What else do you want to see?! "Can we do it again?"
My double-question made her stuttered. "Well up to you."
"Anything else?"
Pam paused and took a deep breath. "It's ok if you're not moving. That's it."
She said sulkily. When I saw the person I love felt bad, I couldn't help but try to make up with her. I pulled her white gown teasingly.
"My heart and my soul have already moved in with you since I fell in love with you."
Her sulky face turned to a sweet face now. "Are you teasing me again?"
"I don't have much stuff. I can move at any time. I only have to give up my 3 month deposit."
Opps...The beautiful face pulled me in and hugged me tight. My face buried into her left chest. I could hear her heart beat louder than mine.
"I'm so happy we will move in together." I hugged her back and nodded.
"But too bad I just moved into my room."
"Well, let's have a goodnight sleep tonight then." Pam said gently. I pushed her out and said teasingly. "But we might not sleep at all tonight"
