Arthit's Pov---------

When I pulled up to Kong’s house next morning, He and his brother Wad, were standing on the front lawn with their arms folded as they kept their attention glued to the house across the street. Robby and Sophie let themselves inside, so I walked over to stand beside Kong.

“What are we watching ??”

The words were barely out of my mouth when Tanya came storming out of her house with her bedsheets in hand. She angrily threw them in a barrel and set them aflame before screaming and going back in.

“She has been at it all morning”

Kong replied.

“Apparently she doesn’t know how to use a washing machine because that itching powder will rinse out, right away”

Wad said with a sigh.

“Kinda makes you crave for a bonfire, doesn’t it ??”

Wad asked excitedly.

“I will go get the marshmallows...”

He turned around and headed inside.

Tanya came out again with an armful of clothes. She screamed again and tossed them into the barrel, making the flames rise higher.

“Do I need to know, what happened ??”

I asked.

“It was Wad’s idea !! Tanya called the cops on us, so we broke into her house and sprinkled her stuff with itching powder”

Kong explained nonchalantly.

I nodded. I knew it had to be something like that. It was scary how the things he did, were starting to make sense to me.

“My mother wants to keep the kids tonight. She and Dad wants to take them to the new gaming arcade around their house. So.... will you go out with me in the evening ??”

I asked with a drumming heart.

“Oh Shit...”

That wasn’t the reaction I had been hoping for. Kong quickly turned to me.

“Tanya is coming over !!”

That made me feel a little better.

“This is an outrage !!”

Tanya yelled as she approached. Her face was three shades of red.

“I know...”

Kong replied, sounding completely scandalized.

“I can’t believe you kissed my little brother !!”

Wad chose that moment to reappear with a bag of marshmallows and a wire hanger.

“Hey !! Hot Lips...”

“I... You...“

Tanya stuttered. Then she screamed again, stomped her feet and went back to her house.

Kong sighed.

“Wow.... I really love this neighborhood”

I couldn’t help but gape at Wad.

“You kissed Tanya ??”

He shrugged.

“You got to do what you got to do. I don’t plan on any repeat performances though. No matter what she says. I think I left her very... turned on !!”

Wad shuddered at the thought.

“You better not have turned her on, on daily basis. Otherwise, there is gonna be a lot of angry men in this town”

Kong warned.

“I can’t believe I am leaving my kids with you people !!”

I teased. But raised my hands up in surrender, when Kong glared at me.

“My Mom will be here to pick the kids up at four. I will swing by to get you at five...”

He crossed his arms over his chest.

“Where are we going ??”

“On a date. Have a good day...”

I kissed his temple and walked away, smiling when I heard his huff of annoyance behind me.

When I got to the office, I went to Bright's cabin and found him seated on the couch with his feet propped on the table and a book in his hands. He was so entranced that he didn’t even notice me come in. That was very un-Bright like.

“Did you lose a bet or something ??”

I asked.

He almost fell off the couch. I startled him so bad.

“Dude !! I didn’t even hear you come in ??”

I quickly seized the book from him before he could hide it. My eyes widened at the words that leapt off the page.

“You are reading an adult romance novel ?? Bright !! An erotica !! Don’t you get enough from Jenny ??”

“She’s the one who gave it to me”

Bright replied, snatching it back.

“She wants to try a little role-playing, so I am reading up on my character. I am a very obedient husband”

“You can’t be serious ??”

I was really shocked. This was too much.

“Hey Obedient husband...  Your wife tricked my wife into this also, As soon as the doctor gives her the green light, Noor has a cowboy costume ready and waiting for me to follow that cowboy plot too”

Knott said, as he walked in with few files.

Bright nodded in understanding.

“I have got to read that one, next. I can’t wait to tie Jenny up.”

I couldn’t believe this.

“I am going to get to start my work.”

I said and walked towards my cabin.

“I left one on your desk, for you and Kong too, it's the latest released one”

Bright called after me.

It was official. My friends had lost it. Sure enough I found an adult erotic novel lying on my desk. I put it away. If it was so stimulating that even Bright and Knott were reading, I needed to stay away from it until at least my second date. The thought of getting Kong into my bed had crossed my mind on more than one occasion in last few days, but I didn’t want to rush anything. I didn’t want to screw things up. I really like him and I want him to stay with me for a very long time.

For the first time, I was feeling... like I could truly move on from my past.

I spent the day sketching out new designs until lunch time. Before I could open my door to head out for a break, Knott slipped in.

“I wouldn’t go out there if I were you !!”

“Why not ??”

I asked. Unless Bright and Jenny were getting a head start on their fun, I couldn’t think of any reason not to go to lunch.

“The hall is filled with possible secretaries, and they are all keeping a lookout for the handsome and single Rojanapat's heir. There are too many of them. You could get violated, and there would be nothing, Bright or I, could do to save you”

Knott explained, shooting me a sympathetic look before going back out there.

I groaned. I was starving.

I slumped back on my chair and pushed my head back with a sigh. I knew that Kong would find this situation amusing, so I sent him a text. A few minutes later my phone vibrated.

"Suck it up, pretty boy."

I knew, he would enjoy my misery.

I didn’t know how long I had been hiding in my office when I heard a light tapping on my window. My eyes widened with surprise when I saw who it was. I quickly opened the window.

“What are you doing here ??”

“You said, you needed to be rescued. Are you coming or not ??”

Kong asked.

“The kids and I, are going to get Chinese”

“I haven’t climbed through a window, since my college days !!”

I admitted, climbing out and jumping down, nonetheless. I followed him over to his SUV where the boys and Sophie were waiting patiently.

“How am I going to get back in ??”

I asked after greeting them.

“Wad will be taking care of it. Your office will be cleared by the time we get back. We just have to remember to bring him some sweet and sour chicken and an egg roll”

Kong replied and hopped inside the car. I wasn’t even going to ask what was their plan.

The restaurant was just around the corner, so we were there in no time. The boys walked in front of Kong and I, while Sophie walked in the middle, holding both of our hands. It was, what.. a family was supposed to look like. I hope it will turn to reality soon.

We sat at our table in much the same way with Robby and Sammy on one side and the three of us on the other.

“We are having another family dinner tomorrow night at Knott and Noor’s again. I was thinking you could get there early, so the boys can practice a little for football tryouts”

“Okay...”

Kong replied, concentrating on his chopsticks.

“Screw it...”

He grabbed a fork instead. I used my own chopsticks to offer him a bite of my shrimp. I almost thought he wasn’t going to take it, but after a moment, he parted his soft lips and let me feed him. When he finished chewing, he shook his head.

“Real smooth Rojnapat...”

He said sarcastically.

“All a part of my charms...”

I smiled.

Robby snorted.

“Charms ?? Dad, Grandma taught you, how to do that”

Kong nearly choked on his food.

“Thanks a lot, Son !!”

I replied sarcastically. The little devil grinned at me.

On the way to Kong's car, He was still teasing me.

“Don’t worry Arthit.”

He leaned in and whispered,

“I think Mama’s boys are sexy...”

I groaned and gave him a playful push.

“Get in the car Suthiluck. You need to get home so you can get ready for our hot date.”

Kong winked at me and started to drive. Five o’clock couldn’t get here fast enough.

When we got back to the office, Wad was sitting at the desk answering phone calls

“Rojnapat Construction this is Wad Dowger. How can I help you ??”

He typed a few things into the computer.

“Yes, Mr. James, I can schedule you in for three o'clock next Tuesday… You too.”

He hung up.

“What is this ??”

Kong asked, putting Wad's, Food parcel box on the desk.

“That was the best way to get all of them out of here without any illegal action and also to earn some money in my vacations”

Wad explained.

“You can go on home without me. I have work to do”

He answered the phone again,

“Rojnapat Construction this is Wad Dowger. How can I help you ??”

Kong turned to me.

“Ummm… congratulations ?? You have a new secretary.”

I nodded.

“So it would seem. Don’t worry. If he gets out of line, I will call Prem.”

“Good luck, Rojnapat”

Kong replied with a smile.

“Let’s go kiddos...”

There was a chorus of goodbyes as they left the building.

“You checking out my brother’s ass again, boss ??”

Wad asked, feigning innocence.

I turned around and shrugged.

“It’s really a nice ass, can't help it. Now... Get back to work Wad”

He smiled slyly. Oddly enough, I think that I earned the approval of the little brother.

At exactly five o’clock, I knocked gently on Kong’s front door. When no one answered, I knocked a little louder. Still no answer. I rang the doorbell. Nothing... Finally I took out the spare key, unlocked the door, and stuck my head in.

“Suthiluck !! You are killing me here. Come answer the damn door !!”

I shouted.

“Keep your pants on Rojnapat !! I am coming !!”

Kong yelled back.

I shut the door and waited. I was about to ring the doorbell again when the door opened and Kong stepped out, looking as beautiful as ever in his washed jeans and a crisp black shirt. I cleared my throat and offered him a bouquet of tulips.

“There is one flower for each day I have known you”

I explained.

“You look beautiful Kong... handsomely beautiful”

“Ummm... Thank you”

He replied.

“You are not looking so bad yourself”

He looked at the flowers.

“I will ummm… I am gonna put these in some water. I will be right back.”

He quickly disappeared from my view. I couldn’t help but smile. I had stunned the smartass.

Kong came back out a few moments later and locked the door behind him.

“Alright, Mr. Rojnapat, where are we off to, this fine evening ??”

I took him by entwining our fingers together and led him to my car, opening the door for him.

“You are not going to tell me, are you ??”

“Not until I get you into a locked moving vehicle, Kongpob”

I replied.

“That bad, huh ??”

He asked.

“Get in the car, Suthiluck.”

I shut the door behind him before jogging around to my side and getting in. As we made our way down the road, I kept sneaking glances at him. There was so much about him that I still didn’t know and I was planning to change that tonight. I will get some answers for sure.... After few more minutes of driving I pulled the car over to the side of the road and park it safely.

It looked like we were In the middle of nowhere.

“I swear if you ask me to get in the backseat, Rojnapat !! I am going to shove my shoes up your ass.”

I got out and opened his door for him.

“Give me a little credit, Suthiluck. If I planned on getting into your pants this early in the evening, I would have taken you to my house.”

“Wow... smartass”

Kong replied dryly.

“Where the hell are we ??”

“I will explain. I promise.”

I stood in front of him and extended my hand towards him.

“Come on...”

He didn’t.

“Don’t be difficult. I am not letting you walk through the woods in this late evening without knowing the way. Let me guide you... !!”

I smiled when I felt him give in and held my hand.

Kong wrapped his other arm loosely around my biceps.

“You workout, Rojnapat ??”

“Of course, I like to maintain myself...”

“Show off... ”

I laughed as we walked through the woods in a comfortable silence. I was paying close attention to where I stepped. Tripping would be bad on so many levels. Either we would get hurt and I would feel terrible or my pride would get hurt and Kong would never let me live it down.

“Here we are...”

I carefully helped him walk out to a wide open place and pointed up. There was a wooden platform built in the tree above us.

“This is the first thing I ever built.”

I motioned for him to climb the ladder that led to it.

“Is it safe ??”

He asked warily. I did my best to look insulted.

“What ?? Wood does tend to rot, you know...”

“I have taken very good care of it”

I assured him.

The sun was almost down by the time, so I had candles waiting on the platform. When Kong saw them, he looked at me questioningly.

“Are we having a candle light dinner here ??”

I began unpacking the basket that held our dinner.

“I built this when I was a kid. I didn’t know anything about wiring back then, so we will be needing those for light.”

I offered him a chicken sandwich with a charming smile.

“How did you know this was my favorite ??”

He asked suspiciously.

“My new secretary is very helpful,”

I replied. I had bribed him for the information before leaving the office.

“Wad !!”

Kong grumbled, but he moaned softly when he took a bite.

“This isn’t what I was expecting when you suckered me into this date”

He admitted.

I lit the candles.

“This is the first date. This is where we get to know each other, and I can think of no better place to do it. Besides, you are stuck out here until I decide to show you the way back.”

Kong looked around then, realizing he had no idea how to get back to the car.

“Bravo, Sherlock !!”

Chuckling, I poured him a glass of wine.

“So.... Mr. Suthiluck...”

I thought about all the things, I wanted to know about him.

“Who was your first kiss ??”

It seemed like a safe place to start.

“Sammy's Dad”

He answered in a heartbeat.

“He was my first, for everything.”

Maybe it wasn’t a safe place to start. The envy I held for this person I had never met was surprising. I wasn’t normally the jealous type, but thinking about Kong being close to anyone else but me…

Suddenly something clicked in my mind... 

“What do you mean by Sammy's Dad ?? You are his Dad !!”

I asked.

Kong smiled.

“No.... I am his Papa.... ”

“I am not getting your point ??”

I asked confused.

“I don't like to talk about it with anyone.... People tend to judge without understanding the whole situation ”

He spoke in a strained voice.

“I won't judge you Kong.... you can trust me on that...”

I said, softly.

“I am a special male Arthit.... I can get pregnant...”

He replied. lowering his face, eyes fixed on his fingers.

“You mean... You gave birth to Sammy ?? ”

I was really surprised.

“Yes... Do you think I am wierd ??”

He asked, with anxiety written all over his face.

“No.... You are not wierd.... You are just special... So very special. You are an amazing man Kong, I am really fascinated by you”

I replied, taking his slightly shivering hands in mine.

“Thanks Arthit... I am really glad that I got to meet you”

Kong said with a little smile.

This was nice, just sitting here, me and Kong. I was really surprised by the revelation of Kong's special ability but I was still curious about his life before Sammy's birth. I must have been a masochist because I asked him to tell me about all the men and women in his life. I couldn’t help it. I wanted to know everything there was, to know about Kong.

“Mew, Aim, Tew, Oak, May, Prea,  Maprang and.... Felix”

Kong listed easily. When my eyes nearly bugged out of my head, he rolled his eyes.

“You asked about all the men and women in my life, not my ex lovers. Those are the guys and girls, who I used to hung out with, in the past. They all were, my school and college friends. And If you want to ask about my love life... I haven't been interested in girls ever, so I never had a girlfriend. Mew was the first boy I had a crush upon...but he liked someone else, so I never confessed. Sammy’s Dad was the only man I have ever been intimate with but... I... I don't know him, I don't know who he is...not even his name... ”

Kong was quite after saying that and I was confused, again...

“Kong...”

I tried to think of a better way to inquire.

“Kong, w... were...y.... you ra...raped ??”

“What ??”

His eyes snapped to mine.

“No... !!”

Kong was aggravated. So I explained hurriedly,

“It’s just… you said you didn’t know who Sammy’s Dad is, so I assumed that....”

He groaned and leaned back against the base of the tree.

“I told you before, it was a one night stand. I went on a vacation trip with few of my faculty friends, rebelling against my Dad... Who asked me to not to hang out with those boys. Dad knew I was different.... and he wanted me to be safe and alert !!”

Kong spoke in a hushed voice.

“I was a stupid harmonal teenager. It was my first year of college. There was so much pressure on me. And the cheery on top was, that none of my old friends had joined my faculty. I was alone without any known company. They got busy with their own courses and life stuffs. I needed new friends and I wanted to let go... So when Felix, the most popular guy of my faculty,  asked me to join him and his friends on that trip, I said Yes...and the last night of that trip, we went to a famous club on the beach”

Kong laughed humorlessly.

“The club was very dim litted and it was hard to recognise anyone in that smokey surroundings. I was a little tipsy, but I wasn’t completely drunk. I knew exactly what I was doing, when I snuck away with him. We went to a room, which was completely dark... He was more drunk than me and we were fumbling in the dark. The mystery of not knowing and the excitement of possibly getting caught by someone was exactly what I thought I needed. We used a condom, I remember that very clearly but obviously it wasn’t effective...”

“Did you try to find him ?? This mystery guy ??”

I was sure he must have.

“I did, but there were more people at that club that night, than there were at my whole neighborhood. He couldn't have known that I was special.... So I guess he must have taken it as a one night stand and moved forward”

Kong paused for a moment.

“I don’t regret it though. I know, I did something stupid... Very stupid but I got Sammy. It wasn’t easy. My Dad was furious... my mom blamed him for not raising me well. I had to give up a lot to take care of sammy, but that was my choice, and he was worth It... All of it.”

That hadn’t been what I was expecting. Then again, Kong wasn't a man anyone can predict.

“I know what you mean. You have tough situations, but you make the best of it. Loosing my brother and taking responsibility of his kid's wasn't, what I had thought about my life, but I wouldn’t trade Robby and Sophie for the world. They are my everything now, I really love them”

Kong nodded with a soft smile.

“We do have some pretty amazing kids”

I nodded in agreement.

We sat there quietly for a few minutes, and I finally couldn’t help myself.

“So… Sammy’s Dad… Was he more like, Phantom of the Opera or Jason from Friday the 13th ??”

“I can see now... I am going to have to kill you !!”

Kong sighed.

Laughing, I stood up and offered my hand to him.

“Dance with me...”

“Hell no...”

He replied.

“You are being difficult again, Suthiluck...”

I reached down and pulled him up myself.

“There’s no music here, Dumbo...!!”

He tried to pull his hand away, but I wasn’t having that.

I wrapped an arm around his slim waist and brought him close to me.

“It just so happens that I am a remarkable hummer...”

“You are just so full of yourself, Rojnapat !!”

He informed me sweetly. Ignoring him, I began to hum a nice melody and slowly turned us around in circles. There was only so much room on the platform.

“I feel like a fool”

He admitted.

“Shut up, Suthiluck...”

I replied and continued humming. He finally stopped fighting. I savored the moment, holding him in my arms as we danced under the stars… over a tree.

“This reminds me of a poem.”

“Oh crap...”

Kong groaned.

I smiled.

“Arthit and Kong sitting in a tree...Kiss-”

He stopped me there,

“Finish that poem and I will push you off this platform.”

“Fight it all you want, Kongpob...”

I stopped dancing and pulled back a little so I could see his beautiful face.

“But I will get that kiss...”

“Well... it won’t be here. It’s about to rain.”

A sprinkle hit my cheek as though to prove his point.

“Damn....”

I pointlessly blew out the candles and packed up the basket. I would send someone to pick the things later. When we got to the ground, I held his hand again in my right one and a flashlight in the left, as I got us back to the car. We didn’t make it before the little droplets turned into a downpour. We got soaked.

Kong was shivering in the car, so I turned up the heat.

“You sure know, how to show your date a good time.”

“Wait till you see what I have planned for the next week...”

I winked at him, and he laughed. When we pulled up to Kong's house, he jumped out of the car and took off. There was no way in hell I was letting him get away from me, like that.

I ran after him, catching him before he got to the door. He shrieked as we lost our balance and landed on the wet grass.

“You tackled me, Arthit !!”

Kong said in disbelief.

I rolled over, on top of him, pinning him under my weight.

“I told you, I would get that kiss...”

He started to call me... no doubt, a few profanities, but I covered his mouth with mine. I couldn’t help but groan when my tongue came in contact with his. He tasted as amazing as I imagined him to be. I knew we needed to get inside soon, but when his hands made their way into my damp hair and his mouth started moving against mine, I decided that the risk of us, catching a cold, was worth it.

Kong lying underneath me and fighting to catch his breath... was something that I could definitely get used to....

“You are such a smartass, Rojnapat”

Kong panted.

Before I could reply, a police cruiser stopped in front of the house. Prem got out and opened the back door, pulling Wad out harshly by the arm. He bent him over the hood and removed the cuffs that kept his hands behind his back before getting in the car and driving off again.

“Thanks for the ride handsome !!”

Wad shouted after him. Then he turned to us and smirked.

“Well... looks like the date went well...”
