Kongpob's Pov---------

Time - 2022

I don't think I have ever been so tired in my life. It has been a whole week since I woke up and since then, I have slept on and off. I had a high fever and my body was so sore. My fever got down early this morning and the nurse who came in had said that my friends should be able to see me when visiting hours started. I guess she was talking about Aim and May because they are my only friends and family too.

Both came to me right away, fawning over me. I was so happy to finally meet them after a week of waiting. Aim had to leave for an important meeting but he promised to be back soon. May stayed and was chatted on about what she had been up to after being a mother. Apparently, they were not supposed to tell me what I was up to. They wanted me to remember on my own.

At the time of lunch I insisted May to get something to eat for herself too, at the hospital cafeteria.

When I was alone in my room, My thoughts turn to the handsome man that was with the doctor that night in my room. He was too amazing to believe that he could be real. He was breathtakingly handsome. I remember the feel of his hand in mine. It felt right and comforting, my hand felt empty and lost as soon as he let go.

I felt foolish to fantasize over that handsome man Arthit. He looked liked he could be some type of Greek God. He more than likely had a girlfriend or a boyfriend. I knew that he wouldn't be intrested in me inspite of me being like a celebrity and all. Though, when I saw the way he looked at me, like he did care for me and that he was disappointed that I did not remember him. He also did call me 'sweetheart'. I wonder how we knew each other. Apparently, I have been in Bangkok for year. I had no clue what has happened in last few months. I was desperate to find out. Aim and May just told me that I was being stalked and Arthit's security agency has solved the case... but I felt as if it was not the whole truth.

I pushed my fork around on my plate. I hadn't had my appetite back yet. The door opened and Aim walked in followed, by a tall handsome man.

"Hey Aim, you are back already. May is down the cafeteria"

I called out, my voice still rough.

"Hey Kong, yeah i already talked to her. Look I brought someone to visit you"

Aim came over and sat next to my bed. The boy looked at me with a big smile on his face.

"Hey, Kong. Glad to see you awake. I was so worried about you and I missed you so much..."

He sat at my feet. He seemed a bit too close for my comfort.

"I am sorry. I don't know, who you are ??"

I apologized. He frowned slightly before starting to smile again.

"I am Roby, Roby Smith and you know me very well dear Kongpob"

He explained. I still must have looked confused.

"He is victor's nephew Kong and he was our classmate in high school too, don't you remember ?? and he was the one maneging your recent concerts in Bangkok. You were meeting with him quite constantly in Last few months..."

Aim explained lightly. I tried to remember but couldn't recall anything.

"I remember two boys from high school, who were our lab partners"

I shrugged.

"Yeah, I was your lab partner... We were pretty close at that time too"

Roby sighed. I tried to remember harder.

"You are not the boy that blasted the test tube in chemistry lab... are you ??"

I asked, Aim started laughing.

"That would be him"

Aim smirked. Roby blushed.

"Hey, didn't anyone tell you that it is not nice to make fun of your boyfriend ??"

"Roby !!"

Aim stopped laughing and said rather sternly.

"Awww..... Aim, I am sure he would figure it out soon"

Roby apologized, but didn't look sorry.

My boyfriend ??

The word did not seem right. I felt bad. Here I was fantasizing about Arthit when I had a boyfriend.

"Hey, Kong, don't worry you will remember about me soon. Hey... Are you having a cherry pie for breakfast ??"

Roby pointed to a slab of cherry pie on my tray. Something about the pie called to me.

How come when I looked at the pie, I kept picturing Arthit ??

Only he was wearing clothes from a different era and he had hazel eyes.

I heard the door open and May walked back in. She frowned at Roby. It was clear she did not like him.

"Kong, Can I share the pie.... It's my favourite ??"

Roby sounded impatient.

"No, you can not. Dr. Noor had that specifically delivered for Kong. She said it was 'The best in the city'"

May came to sit in the other chair that Arthit had been in that night.

"Seattle"

I mumbled without thinking.

"Seattle, are you saying it's best in Seattle city, that is kind of far away to order a pie"

Aim looked at me with concern, but I wasn't listening anymore. My mind was being flooded with memories from the last few months. I saw everything. Arthit, his family, that stalker, my kidnapping and Arthit saving me, The trip to Oregon, and then.... going back in time to 1660.

Did the last part really happen ??

But then....Oh no.... Arthit and Noor were here when I woke up. They thought I had forgotten about them... Their secret of being vampire.

"Kong, you are spacing out, Are you feeling alright ??"

May looked concerned as she touched my forehead.

"I remember..."

I trailed off suddenly looking at the smiling Roby in front of me. Suddenly I was furious.

"You liar...."

I hissed. What the hell was up with him ?? He was actually trying to take advantage of me while I had amnesia.

"Kong..."

He looked worried and guilty as he looked to Aim.

"Don't look at me. You made your bed, now you lie in it"

Aim looked away.

"What did he lie about ??"

May looked angry.

"He told me that he is my boyfriend. That's not true. We are, or were, just casual friends, Roby, nothing else. How dare you lie to me and take advantage of me. You can't have this pie, if I was to give it to anyone, it would be Arthit"

I growled. Roby scowled.

"I have a long time crush on you Kong.... I was just trying my luck. Maybe you would look at me differently if you think that I am your boyfriend "

What was wrong with him ??

"What's wrong with you, Roby ??"

Aim scrutinized him.

"Are you out of your mind ?? You never said about your feelings to me before and if even you would have than too i don't think anything would have happened between us"

I said, my anger melted slightly.

"Why ??"

Roby asked

"Because I never felt anything for you "

"Ohh.... I am sorry Kong"

Roby mumbled slowly.

"Roby I think you should leave now, Kong needs to rest now"

May stood up angrily and marched in his direction.

"Aim, please show him out... "

She chased both of them from the room as a nurse entered, smirking. She was a kind grandmotherly looking lady.

"Your friend is a force to be reckoned with, she cares about you a lot. You are really loved by so many my dear... specially by that handsome boy Arthit, That boy has barely left your side, while you were in coma. Dr. Noor had to nearly drag him home for some rest, but he would be back as soon as possible. He must truly love you so much"

I felt so happy and blessed but at the same time I am scared too. I must have hurt him with my lack of memory.

I asked my own husband who he was ??

Ohh I just hope Arthit didn't have planned to leave me alone, because of his stupid thoughts of saving me from his vampire cravings.

I just hoped that Arthit will appear soon, I want to talk to him and Noor about so many things.

"Is Dr. Noor due in ??" I asked the nurse as she checked my vitals.

"I am not sure when her shift will start"

I took a deep breath. I was hoping to see all of them as soon as possible.

"Can we take the IV out now ??"

I asked sweetly. The doctor had said this morning that if my fever stayed away after lunch and I ate, it could come out.

"Alright, but it will have to go right back in if your fever comes back"

The nurse warned. She moved to my hand and started fiddling with the IV box. She stopped the flow first. She pulled the needle out and bandaged my hand.

"There you are. I will be back to check on you later"

"Can I have a shower now, I am feeling so stinky ??"

I asked again.

"Okay, you can... but please be careful"

She replied and left as May reentered.

"May, do you think you can call Dr. Noor and ask her come and meet me ??"

I asked.

"Sure, Kong. But... do you really remember something.... ?? "

I nodded my head.

"Oh my god !! that's really wonderful. I will call Dr. Noor right away"

She left the room again. I entered the bathroom and jumped into the shower quickly to get washed up. I took a hot shower, and got dressed in jeans and a dark blue sweater that May brought for me. Wearing jeans again felt both good, but odd. I stepped out of the bathroom brushing my damp hair back, to see Noor standing by the bed with her arms crossed. I smiled upon seeing her. She shook her head and smirked a bit.

"Into bed first, I would like to make sure your fever did not come back"

She gestured to the bed. I did as I was told. Noor did a quick check with a thermometer.

"Your temperature is in control now... That's good. So has all your memory returned ??"

She asked. I thought so, but I was still not completely sure if going into 1660 was only a dream or not.

"I think so. But I am unsure about some events."

I bit my lip.

"What would that be ??"

Noor asked.

"If I said it feels like I have not seen you in 300 years or so, what would you say ??"

I asked hesitantly. Noor started to chuckle.

"That sounds about right, My dear cousin"

She answered with a smirk.

"So, it really happened then ?? I traveled back in time ??"

I asked, reality dawning on me.

How ??

Was all that I could think.

"Yes, but don't ask me how... I still can't explain it. It certainly surprised Arthit. I wasn't expecting this to jog into his memory as well"

Noor reached over and squeezed my hand. So Arthit didn't know before, but he knows now.

"Is he mad ??"

I asked looking down at the sheet.

"Why would he...?? He understands that you have to lie about something's in past"

Noor patted my hand. He might not be mad but he must be upset with me....

How could I forget that we are married ??

"I am going to let you leave the hospital today, on the condition that you need to stay with us and in bed until I know that you are completely well. Aim and May were worried about you but I told them we will take care of your health"

Noor explained.

"Is Arthit not coming ??"

I asked.

"He is eagerly waiting to meet his husband "

She winked and headed out of the room.

She was barley out of the room before May entered. She hurried to my side.

"I am sorry, Kong but I have to leave now... Your godson is with his nanny and she called just now that he is making a fuss to have me with him. I talked to Noor when you were showering, She is such a wonderful woman. They are offering for you to stay with them for your recovery, since she is taking a leave for some days and will stay at home to take care of you. I hope that is okay with you"

May looked apologetic and a bit nervous.

"I understand, May. I will be fine at the Rojnapat's house. You know I am comfortable with them"

"Ohh I know that you are more than comfortable by staying with your boyfriend and his family"

May teased me.

"I wanted to talk to you about Arthit, before I leave."

"What about him ??"

I asked.

"Are you planning to get married with him ??"

I heard some laughter in the hall and realized that we were overheard.

"He is good but don't agree easily. You are a rockstar Kong. So many beautiful girls and boys are waiting in line just to meet you once. So.... Make him beg for it, got it..."

I smirked trying to fight my amusement too.

"I wish you a very happy life ahead Kong"

She got up to hug me.

"I will visit you soon, take care of yourself"

"Give my love to my godson. I will visit him too once I recover completely"

I hugged her back. She left the room and I felt agitated to face my vampire husband.

The door opened and I instinctively looked up. Arthit stood in the doorway. My breath caught as I looked at him.... my vampire that I have been missing all this time. He stood there, looking more handsome than ever. His vampire chiseled features were back and his abony black eyes instead of the hazel ones that I have gotten use to. In his one hand were red roses, the other hand he nervously ran through his hair. Our eyes locked and I felt my heart swell with love. He didn't look mad to me. I was too nervous to speak. Arthit walked slowly towards me, not taking his eyes off of me. When he got to my bedside he paused, then took a deep breath.

"Hi Kong"

He said shyly. I felt a small smile form on my face.

"Hi Arthit"

I said shyly back. Arthit smiled at me now and I let out the breath I didn't realize I was holding. So far he didn't seem mad or upset with me. He handed me the red roses.

"For you, My love,"

He spoke softly. I took them and breathed in the delicate sent.

"Thank you, My Sun"

I watched for his reaction. His smile became bigger, but there was hesitancy in his eyes. I was hoping he would kiss me, but maybe it was too soon.

"You got your memory back, I hear"

Arthit reached for my hand and I placed it in his, instantly I felt the electricity between us. His touch felt cold and smooth.

"I have. Roby tried to steal your 'best in the city' cherry pie."

I smirked. Arthit cocked an eyebrow, looking intrigued.

"I know technically you would not have eaten it, but it is what triggered everything to come back."

"Sounds like we need to thank Noor for that because it was her idea to send you that pie"

Arthit squeezed my hand.

"We have a lot to talk about...."

I looked away, down at my flowers.

"Yes we do, but not here"

Arthit answered sounding slightly nervous too.

Before either of us could say anything more, the door banged open and Jenny skipped into the room with Knott and Noor behind her.

"Kong, I am so glad to see that you are awake and okay."

First Jenny then Knott wrapped me up into a hug.

"I am sorry for worrying you"

I was feeling bad that I made them worry.

"Hush no need for apologizes. Are you ready to leave this place ??"

Knott pulled back, then looked around.

"Are you ready to spend some time with your in-laws"

Jenny asked, giggling. I scowled at her but Arthit laughed.

"Yeah... I am ready to go."

I nodded then slid to the edge of the bed to find some shoes, Sneakers. Oh, how I have missed them. I slid them on quickly and stood up so quickly I became wobbly. Arthit grabbed my arm to steady me. I took steps towards the door and Noor called me back.

"Chair, Kong. Hospital policy"

I frowned and sat in the seat with a huff.

I laid the roses across my lap. I started to get pushed and I turned to find Arthit. I did not want to lose sight of him, I missed him so much . I noticed he was the one pushing the chair.

"I am not going anywhere Kong. I promise"

I smiled at the word 'promise' which caused Arthit to smile as well as he continued to push the chair towards the elevators.

Knott and Noor were driving in the separate car while Jenny was driving Arthit's car. Arthit sat in the back with me, keeping me in his arms. I was surprised to say the least. He usually wanted to be the one to drive, but he had barely let go of me since he walked into the hospital room. He would rub my arms and kiss my forehead consistently on the drive.

I held on tight, afraid to let go. I was afraid of loosing him again to some unexpected events. I kept my face buried into Arthit's chest. Jenny's driving was making me dizzy and a bit nauseous. I had gotten used to horse carriage riding so vampire speed car driving was throwing my equilibrium off.

"Where is Bright and others ??"

I asked turning to look out the back window.

"Bright is making lunch for you and Wad and Prem is out bring some necessary things of yours from your house"

Jenny replied from the front seat.

"Bright is cooking ??"

I spun back around asking.

"Yes.... for welcome you back"

I smiled at her.

Jenny pulled up to the front of the house. Arthit got out, then swiftly pulled me in to his arms. He quickly led us, up to his room, pausing just inside the door.

Arthit pushed the door shut with his foot before walking us to the bed.

"I am not tired. I thought we were going to talk"

I tried to get out of his arms, but he held me tighter.

"Kong, you have been burning up for the whole week and you just woke up from the coma. You need to rest"

Arthit gave me a worried look and was pleading with me.

"Well, can I change first ?? Lying in bed in jeans is not exactly comfortable"

I asked.

"Yes, of course"

Arthit smiled. I walked over to the drawers. I grabbed a blue joggers and a white tshirt to go with it. I headed into Arthit's bathroom to change. When I finished, I noticed that there was a new toothbrush and other toiletries that looked like they were for me, set up and ready to go. I quickly brushed my teeth and head back into the room. Arthit was lying on one side of the bed with his hands behind his head. He looked toward me as I entered and a small smile formed on his face.

I walked slowly to the other side of the bed and slipped in. Right away, I noticed the warmth of the bed.

"Is this bed heated ??"

I asked.

"Heated blanket and heated mattress pad"

Arthit answered. I adjusted myself so my back was against the headboard. I took an extra pillow and squeezed it in my arms for comfort, but at the same time it kept me from launching myself at Arthit.

We both were silent for a moment staring at one another.
Arthit broke the silence first.

"How are you feeling Kong ??"

Arthit asked.

"Confused..."

I answered honestly. Arthit smiled slightly.

"I was talking about physically. You ended up with high fever and memory loss. Thank goodness you got them back sooner"

Arthit's eyes ghosted over me.

"I still have a slight cough, but other than that I am fine."

I bit my lip not meeting his eyes anymore.

"What's bothering you ??"

Arthit started to reach out for my hand. He paused and then retracted some. I reached my own out to meet his, and he grasped my hand lightly. I felt calmer already and had more courage for what I had to do next.

"Did you remember things from me being in 1660 before this ??'

I asked holding my breath.

"I do now. But, I didn't before. About the time you were shifted into your hospital room after the surgery, I suddenly got a vision of knocking down a beautiful chocolate eyed angel on my way home from a baseball game. I was confused myself at first. I thought at first you might be a relative of my Kongpob's. But, then I watched you get confused to where you were and the date. By the time you gave me your name and started asking for Noor and Knott, I knew that it was you. I asked Knott in a panic and Knott came clean about knowing you from 1660"

Arthit calmly explained.

"How did I travel back in time, though ?? Did all those things already happen? Or did I change time when I went back ??"

I wasn't sure how to explain my confusion. I knew how Noor felt but I needed to hear what he was thinking. Luckily, I think Arthit understand what I was trying to ask.

"How you went back in time is still a mystery. None of us can explain it. When you were in a coma, it was like your body was here, but you were not"

He answered my first question.

I looked at him and he squeezed my hand lightly.

"As for what happened back then, those events were always meant to happen. You were always meant to go back for those events to occur. You did not change anything, just set everything on its proper path from what we can tell..."

"So does that mean..."

I hesitated to say what I wanted to next.

"That we are married ??'

Arthit suggested. I looked up in his eyes, he was smiling and I felt my lips streched as far as they can too, but I still wondered... was our marriage even valid in this time ??

I took a deep breath.

"I was going to ask if you hated me ??"

I whispered.

"How could I hate you ??"

Arthit sounded shocked and offended.

"I lied to you on so many things... And hide my real identity and the cause of your human death and that accident"

Tears came to my eyes. A sense of dawning came to Arthit's eyes and his expression softens.

"Love, do not cry. Please, I hate to see you cry. I do not hate you. I could never hate you. I do not blame you for anything"

He paused to run a hand through his hair before continuing.

"I felt soulless when I lost you that day as well as my human soul, you are my soulmate Kong. I just never knew that because I couldn't remember meeting you in my human days, but I always felt that a part of me was missing. I love you Kong, You are my soul. My love. My Husband"

My tears started to fall faster.

"Don't you want to be with me ?? Do you love him more than me ??"

Arthit whispered sadly as he came closer.

"I want to be with you till my last breath"

I tangled my fingers into his hair. My tears were soaking his hair and the collar of his shirt.

"There's no one else. There could be no one else. Roby was lying. He has only been a casual friend. Nothing more"

I reassured him. Arthit's head snapped up to meet my eyes. His eyes were little red. I flinched slightly. I just reassured him that it was only him. Why is he mad?

"He did what ??"

He hissed. I thought it was best to answer him honestly. Hopefully, Arthit wouldn't kill him.

"He was telling me that he was my boyfriend this morning before I got my memories back. Isn't that what you were talking about ??"

I asked quietly. I watched as Arthit's eyes started to burn with rage. I felt his hands turn to fists at my back.

"No, that was not what I was talking about. But, He tried to take advantage of your memory loss. That despicable..."

Arthit was fuming and I knew I had to calm him down fast, before he went and snapped Roby's head from his body.

"Then who were you talking about ??"

I asked interrupting him. He looked at me a moment than sighed heavily.

"I was talking about human Arthit,"

He mumbled. I was even more confused than before.

"Huh ??"

Sounding very unintelligible, but I too was confused to think of a proper question.

"I mean, do you love me more as a human ??"

His voice sounded very sad. He looked away out the window. I pulled his face so he was looking at me.

"Arthit, that has to be about the stupidest thing I have ever heard you say..."

I scolded softly.

"I love you. All of you. Your human side and your vampire side. No matter what year it is I am going to love you"

I wouldn't let go of his eyes.

"Why would you think different ??"

"The memories I would get, I knew it was me. I knew his thoughts, but I was also seeing everything as a vampire. Sometimes it seemed you were enjoying yourself more with him than me..."

Arthit explained.

"Arthit, it was still you. Trust me. I did not see it as two different people. A different side of you, but still you. There are things I enjoyed about you as a human. You were more carefree and has some human flaws too, not always perfect in everything. But everyday, I still missed your vampire side as well. The way you would hold me at night. The way you would pull me onto your back and just run somewhere secluded so we could be alone. Is that why you really won't change me ?? Would you no longer love me if I will be a vampire ??"

I asked letting go of his face.

"Human or vampire, you will always be my Kong"

Arthit looked at me sincerely.

"Then what is so hard to understand that you will always be my Arthit. You could be more carefree now, you know. All this constant worrying about me has to be stressful. You could change that by changing me"

I suggested.

"Kong, now is not the right time."

Arthit's eyes grew distant. I sighed in frustration and tried to move off his lap. After all this we have been through, he still was refusing to change me. His arms formed steal barriers not letting me move.

"Love, we will talk about it, okay ?? I just do not want to make decisions on it today. So much has gone on, I think we need to think things through before we decide"

He insisted, his eyes were back to black and I could tell he was trying to dazzle me. I lost focus for a second then shook my head to clear it.

"So you are not saying, no"

I questioned.

"I am not saying no. I am saying please wait until we can talk about this further"

Arthit pressed his forehead against mine.

"When ??"

I demanded, his eyebrow shoot up.

"When are we going to talk about it ??"

I wanted a firm time from him.

"How about in a couple of days when your strength is up"

Arthit told me firmly.

"I am going to hold you to that. No more skirting around things because you think I can't handle it"

I crossed my arms in front of my chest which was difficult to do with his arms in the way.

"Agreed. Will you answer my question now ?? Do you still want to be my husband ??"

He asked. I could see the sadness in his eyes. I decided to be honest with him, like I wanted him to be with me.

"Arthit, I wouldn't have married you if I didn't meant to be with you as your husband"

I bit my lip and looked down. He pulled my chin up.

"So... I can still call you Mr. Rojnapat ??"

He gave me a shy smile. I nodded smiling back.

"Maybe we can have another wedding real soon. Jenny is dying to plan a 'real' one ??"

He smirked, then kissed my cheek.

"Why ?? Did you tell her about our wedding ??"

I giggled slightly having it turn into a cough. Arthit rubbed my back soothingly.

"Yes..."

was all Arthit said before he stopped abruptly, looking toward the door

"Please, not now..."

He threatened. I looked at the door then at him.

"Jenny ??"

I asked.

"Yes, you can meet them all later. Now will you please take a nap ?? I will wake you up when your dinner is ready"

Arthit already shifted me so I was under the covers.

"Will you stay with me ??"

I asked imploringly. Arthit's face broke out into a smile as he slipped into the bed quickly.

"Mmmmmm...., this is nice..."

Arthit closed his eyes, enjoying the warmth. He pulled me gently into his arms. I let out a yawn, but there was something I still want first. I ran my fingers up and down his chest and I felt him relax.

"Arthit,"

I kissed his cheek. He opened one eye, looked at me suspiciously.

"Yes...."

There was a touch of amusement in his voice.

"Can I steal a kiss ??"

I asked looking up at him through my eyelashes.

"It's not stealing if you ask ??"

He teased, shifting so we were face to face.

"Please, you have not kissed me once since I woke up. Isn't your husbandly obligations to kiss me"

I pouted. He started to chuckle so I huffed and started to turn. He grabbed me and pulled me to him. He lips descended on me, kissing me hungrily and desperately. His lips felt cool, but enticing and my hands slipped into his hair tugging him closer. One of his hands cradled my face, the other slipped around to my back. He first rubbed small circles but then slipped it under the hem of my shirt and was touching my bare skin. My heart accelerated and I let out a moan. Suddenly, I knew I was about to cough. I pushed him away just as a coughing fit hit me. Arthit helped me sit up and rubbed my back. Suddenly he disappeared only to reappear a moment later to give me a glass of warm water. I sipped the water as my cough started to subside.

"Are you alright ??"

Arthit looked at me worriedly. I nodded blushing. I realized I just ruined a potential romantic moment.

"Guess we should hold off our husbandly obligations until you are better"

Arthit smirked then kissed my nose. This made me think of other potential things between us.

"Since we are married now, will we have more moments like our wedding night ??"

I asked him. Arthit took the glass from me and placed it on his nightstand.

"I wish I could say yes. I enjoyed that night tremendously"

Arthit stated, I could tell he was choosing his words carefully.

"But..."

I prompted.

"But, I am a vampire now. Without meaning to, I could hurt you. When vampires get intimate with their mates it can get intense and animalistic. I am scared of losing control with you."

Arthit pulled my hand to his lips and kissed it.

"I don't believe that you could hurt me. It seems to be engrained in you to shy away from it. You used not to be able to be this close to me and now you can be. At least we can try...."

I suggested.

"I guess we can try. I want that level with you as well. However, that must wait until you have a clean bill of health from Noor"

Arthit pulled me into a hug.

"Alright"

I stifled a yawn. I did not understand why I was so tired I did not do that much today. I knew there was more that we needed to talk about, but it could wait to later. Arthit and I are together now, That is what mattered the most.

"Nap time, Love"

Arthit kissed my hair then laid us down covering us. I drifted off to sleep snuggled into my vampire.

When I opened my eyes again, I was alone in the bed and in the room too. I sat up slowly and went into the bathroom to freshen up a little. I thought about going down and meeting with others.

Just that moment Noor appeared in the doorway with a tray of food in her hands.

"Hey Kong you are up already ??"

Noor asked.

"Yeah I just woke up, few minutes back"

I answered.

Noor walked over and set up the tray.

"Here you go, Kong. Something light since you still don't have your appetite back yet,"

She commented lightly. Her hand brushed my forehead to check my temperature. On the tray was some chicken soup.

"Thank you. It looks good"

I picked up the spoon and swirled it in the bowl before spooning up the first bite.

"Eat up. Arthit is on his way up"

She kissed the top of my head before heading out of the room.

A moment later, Arthit appeared in the doorway. I looked up at him and smiled.

"Can I ask you something ??"

I asked as he sat in the chair next to the bed.

"Eat first, then we will talk."

He ordered.

"Arthit..."

I started and was cut off by him spooning some soup into my mouth. I frowned as I chewed and swallowed the noodles and chicken.

"Arthit, I can feed myself"

I reached for the spoon. He held it just out of reached.

"I know, but I want to do this for my husband"

I blushed and opened my mouth obediently as he fed me. It was very sweet and a little romantic. We stayed quiet until I had my fill. Arthit seemed pleased that I ate nearly everything.

"Arthit I left something with Noor in the past. I wanted to ask her about that but I forgot to, when she was here... Can we go down and talk with her"

I asked.

"Ahhhh.... The wooden chest, that belongs to you, right ?? Noor have it and waiting for you downstairs"

I did want my chest and I would like to see the others. I slid out of bed and walked to the closet to pull out a jacket.

Before I could get there two arms snaked around me and pulled me backwards. Arthit pressed up against me and kissed my neck.

"I was completely lost without you, when you were in coma. literally, I could barely function without you. I want to keep you all for myself but Jenny is about to bounce through those doors if we do not head downstairs soon,"

Arthit whispered into my neck. I spun in his arms and threw my arms around his neck. He leaned in and started to kiss me passionately. My heart sped up and I tried to pull myself closer to him. His arms reached down and picked me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist locking my ankles behind his back. All too soon he pulled back. I sighed, at least I didn't have a coughing fit this time.

"Alright, we are coming."

Arthit rolled his eyes and set me on my feet.

"Later..."

Arthit kissed me again. It started off chaste, but then grow into more passionate again. Arthit quickly pulled away and stood in front of the door.

"They are going to send Bright in a second if we didn't stop."

He winked at me.

I rolled my own eyes and peered into the closet. I grabbed a warm jacket and pulled it on. I looked onto the door hooks for a hat like 1660's but couldn't find any.

"What are you looking for ??"

Arthit asked. I turned to see him standing behind me.

"Hats. I got so used to putting on a hat when meeting someone, but I guess I do not need to do that anymore"

I shrugged turning back and closed the closet.

"You looked so dashing in those hats"

Arthit stepped forward and pulled me in his arms again. I blushed and my heart fluttered.

"I missed that so much"

He caressed my cheek making me blush more. He started to chuckle.

"Seems to me, I wasn't the only blusher"

I teased reaching up to run my finger along his ear. He stopped chuckling and scowled at me. I reached for his hand and pulled him toward his door.

"Let's go before someone breaks down your door"

I giggled. He swiftly picked me up.

"I can walk"

I pouted at his amused expression.

"Not very well and your track record with stairs is even worse in the past"

Arthit snickered. I could hear laughter from below as he stepped into the hall. I crossed my arms in front of my chest.

"You should be nice to me. I am sure there are some stories I could tell about you from 1660 that Bright and Prem would be very interested in"

I glared at him. He stopped snickering and looked at me with a bit of amusement and nervousness in his expression.

"Like what ??"

A voice came right at my ear causing me to jump, because I was not expecting it. My heart jumped to my throat and my arms instinctively went around Arthit's neck. Bright was standing right next to us. I didn't realize Arthit got us down here so fast.

"Bright,"

Arthit growled, staring the grinning goof down. Bright shrugged and turned to me.

"Hey Kong, long time no see."

He pulled me out of Arthit's arms and pulled me into a tight hug.

"Can't breathe, Bright"

I started coughing.

"Sorry...."

Bright let go of me, Arthit stepped forward and rubbed my back.

"Kong"

Jenny flew into me, knocking me back a step, giving me a hug.

"Jenny,"

several others hissed at her. She rolled her eyes.

"Hi, Jenny,"

I laughed. I really missed her.

Then Prem and Wad came forward and gave me a side hug with a welcoming smile.

Knott came last and hugged me as well. When he pulled back Jenny was in front of me again, she asked to me excited.

"Can we see what is in the trunk ?? I want to see you what you saved"

Arthit nodded his head too. Jenny pulled me forward, The coffee table had been pushed aside and the trunk was in the middle of the room.

Noor gave me the keys and I turned them and opened the chest up. I wanted to leave the letters in there. Arthit can look at them later, but I do not want anyone else to.

The first thing I pulled out was the small stuffed turtle. I hugged it and sat it on my lap.

"I had to search in three shops to find that"

Arthit chuckled.

"And to think it was me you were really missing, not a stuffed animal"

Arthit ran a hand through his hair, then draped his arms around my shoulders. I kissed his cheek quickly.

"Are these the original copies ??"

Wad asked looking at the books in my trunk.

"Yes, I picked them from Arthit's house library"

I replied.

"What a beautiful scarf... Is it handmade ??"

Jenny asked. She sat on the other side of me.

"Yes. Arthit's mother, made it for me"

I lifted it so she could see it better.

"Wow, it's so beautiful "

Jenny touched it lightly then passed it to Noor who looked interested too. I pulled a photo albums next.

"What is in the album, Kong ??"

Noor asked. I handed it up to her.

"They are baby pictures of Arthit."

I smirked at him as he froze.

"Let me see !!"

Jenny squealed and jumped up go stand with Noor.

"Me too"

Bright threw Arthit a smirk.

"AWWW......"

They all collectively sighed. Arthit groaned.

"Do not be embarrassed. You were a cute baby"

I teased and started to giggle. Arthit reached over and tickled my sides until I laughed so hard, he stopped when I started coughing.

I pulled out the velvet case from the trunk next and opened it to see the chain Arthit gifted me. The case had kept it preserved enough that there was little oxidation on the metal. Arthit took it out of my hands and unclasped the hook. He slid the rings off the chain. He reached for my left hand and slid them on my finger before bringing my hand to his lips and giving it a kiss.

"Is that your engagement and wedding rings ??"

Jenny squealed and pulled my hand out of Arthit's grasp so she could get a better look.

"Careful, Jenny"

Arthit hissed glaring at her.

"Oooohhhh...., it is so pretty."

Jenny cooed twisting my hand in the light.

"Yeah.... I love it"

I told her taking my hand back.

"You did a great job picking out a ring,"

Noor complimented. Arthit looked slightly embarrassed as he pulled me close to him.

I caught Bright's eyes. he looked like he was up to mischief again.

"So, Kong, what embarrassing stories can you tell us about Arthit ??"

Bright looked eager, too eager.

"I don't know if I should betray my husband like that"

I teased. Bright started to pout and Arthit gave a sigh of relief. I turned to him and gave him a mischievous smile.

"Kong..." Arthit's eyes begged me.

"I have not said anything. Just remember that the next time you tease me"

I kissed his nose and smirked. Knott started chuckling. Arthit looked at me fighting a smile.

"Come on, Kong, give us something ??"

Bright was begging.

"I won a pie contest..."

I pulled out my winner certificate.

"That is wonderful, Kong."

Noor beamed. Bright continued to scowl. I reached down and grabbed the knitting needles. I held them up with a mischievous smirk.

Knott already was laughing and even Arthit chuckled pressing his face into my shoulder giving my collar bone a kiss.

"What ?? Does Arthit know how to knit ??"

Bright looked amused.

"Some older lady down the street form where Noor and Knott lived, gave them to me as a wedding present and told me to take it to bed with me on my wedding night"

Everyone laughed, but Bright.

"So did you stab him ??"

Bright waggled his eyebrows.

"Of course, not"

I stopped laughing and scowled at him.

"Well, how is that a good story then ?? Come on, Kong, I am dying here, give me something good." Bright pouted.

Everyone started laughing and I felt like finally I am HOME.
