CHAPTER 16
Arthit watches Kongpob from the bed.
His eyes trailed every movement of Kongpob's hands. The way how he combs his long artificial hair, putting on layers of makeup, making sure his hair falls on the sides of his face.
It was a Monday morning and Arthit had stayed with Kongpob and Lia the whole weekend. They had to go to the office early today for a meeting about the new contract's production numbers because it had become a click in the markets.
Arthit was already in his office suite, lying near Lia who was playing games on his phone with her head near Arthit's underarm.
Arthit slowly got up from the bed and walked towards Kongpob, hugging him from the back.
"One day you will come to my office as Kongpob and I will introduce you and Lia to them as my husband and daughter," Arthit whispered in Kongpob's ears, sending shiver into his spine.
Kongpob looked at Arthit's face through the mirror infront of him and smiled.
It's been near to a month since Arthit and Kongpob had got back together. Going out in their free time, having dinner dates, playing with their daughter. It all seems like a dream. They were just like a small family. But Kongpob moved around with a mask everywhere. He didn't go out in his real identity every time. He was afraid people who he knows and people who know him will find him. He didn't have answers for them.
Kongpob and Arthit parted away from each other when they suddenly heard the doorbell ring.
"I'll get it!" Lia rushed to the door, throwing the phone in her hand onto the bed.
"Uncle Aim!"
Lia jumped into her uncle's arms who caught her with a smile on his face.
Kongpob walked out of the room with Arthit tagging along with him.
"Oh, P'Arthit. I thought you went back yesterday." Aim enquired as he saw his senior in the room.
"I wanted to spend more time with these two," Arthit said as he eyed his daughter and lover.
Aim smiled as he looked at his friend. He was more than happy knowing his friend was back to normal again. He had not heard about Kongpob's nightmares after Arthit came into his life again and Aim was grateful for it.
He himself had told May about all the encounters. She was afraid at first, fearing for Kongpob's health. But when she came to know that her friend was happy, she was thrilled. She wished she could meet the couple together again.
"Let's go, Aim. It's already late." Kongpob said as he looked at his watch.
Aim nodded his head and walked to the elevator with Lia in his hands.

"Kongpob, I want to tell you something. Both of you should know it."
Kongpob turned his head back looking at Aim who was sitting at the passenger seat along with Lia in the car.
They were driving towards the company in silence when Aim interrupted it.
"What is it, Aim?" Arthit asked, his eyes still on the road.
"Kongpob, we have been away from New York for the past few months. Our presence here was actually for two months only and now it has been more than the scheduled time. May had called me yesterday asking me about our comeback. Tom had asked her to enquire about us. What's your plan?" Aim asked.
Kongpob looked outside the window of the car and sighed.
Kongpob knew that this question will be asked to him soon. He himself had contacted Tom and lied to him telling him there were some issues there and they need some more time to stay here. Even though Tom didn't believe that altogether he allowed Kongpob and Aim to stay.
But sooner or later he had to go back to New York and he was not sure if he could live in this country with all those bitter memories. But with Arthit beside him, he knew he could handle anything.
"I actually didn't plan anything. Lia loves it here and P'Arthit being here adds to it." Kongpob said as he sighed.
Lia who was sitting with Aim only looked at the adults in confusion. Even though she didn't understand anything, she remained quiet.
"Kongpob, why don't you join my company? Leave your work there and stay with me here. Or if you want I can come there. I will stay with you guys, Knott and Prem are here to handle all of this." Arthit suggested.
Kongpob remained silent. He didn't have an answer now.
"We will think about it later," Kongpob said, dismissing the topic away.
He looked at Arthit from the side of his eyes and sighed. From heart he doesn't want to leave this place, all the wonderful memories of their love were in this place at the same time there were many traumatic memories here in this place.
The whole ride to the company was filled with silence. The three males only talked when they dropped Lia at the daycare.
They soon reached the company and as soon as the car was stopped in the parking lot Aim excused himself telling Knott and Pream might need his help.
Kongpob looked Arthit who had had a tensed up and worried face.
Kongpob sighed. He walked closer with Arthit and slowly intervened their fingers together.
Arthit looked at Kongpob surprised. He only saw Kongpob's beautiful smile directed towards him.
"Do you trust me with what decision I make, P'Arthit?" Kongpob asked in a low voice. He didn't want others to hear him speak in his real voice.
Arthit stopped in his tracks and stared at Kongpob with a blank face.
Kongpob started to get worried, his breath hitched when Arthit walked closer to him. Kongpob looked around and there were a few people only in the parking lot and they were not paying much attention to their boss and Kongpob.
Afterall they were beside their car and a huge truck parked near was blocking people's view of them.
"P'Arthit?" Kongpob's back touched the car.
Arthit was just a few centimeters away from Kongpob's face. Arthit's eyes trailed Kongpob's face with his deep black eyes.
Kongpob gulped. His eyes widened when he felt a pair of lips on his. Kongpob melted into the warm and soft kiss soon.
Arthit sucked Kongpob's lips. He could taste the flavor of the red lip balm Kongpob had applied. Arthit pulled away reluctantly and cupped Kongpob's face which looked still dazed.
"I love you, Kong. I trust whatever decision you make, I respect it. Make a decision that feels right for you, okay my love?"
Kongpob smiled and nodded his head. He was grateful for having such a man in his life.
Kongpob missed those lips so much. The sweet taste of those pink lips still brought butterflies in his stomach.
Kongpob pulled Arthit's head towards him for another kiss.
********
"Kongpob, I won't be staying here tonight. I have to go home. I will see you, tomorrow?"
Kongpob nodded his head as he opened the door to his room.
"Daddy, you are going?" Lia asked with her puppy eyes which melted Arthit's heart.
Arthit scouted down on his knees and placed a soft kiss on her cheeks.
"Daddy has to go, little princess. Daddy will come to pick you guys tomorrow, deal?"
Lia nodded her head and kissed her Daddy's cheeks.
Arthit stood up and planted a kiss on Kongpob's forehead.
"I will leave then, love you."
Kongpob smiled and kissed Arthit's lips softly.
"Love you too."
Arthit smiled widely and waved at her daughter as he walked to the elevator.
Arthit got inside the elevator and sighed.
His phone notified because of a message, he opened his phone and sighed as he read the message.
His hands started to sweat thinking who he had to meet today.
He walked to his car after he got out of the elevator.
He took his car to the nearby coffee shop where he had asked to meet someone.
Soon Arthit walked into a big coffee shop and tried to search for the person who he had asked to meet.
He took a deep breath when he found the person who he had been looking for sitting at a corner f a cafe, drinking a coffee as he looked out of the window.
Arthit hesitantly walked to the table, he had to do this for Kongpob. He didn't want to see that hurt expression on that face anymore.
"Sorry, I became late, Khun Noel."
