The next few weeks saw Kong and I establishing a new routine of sorts. We still saw his dad regularly, but we also started spending time together separately on our own, but of course, as friends.
We did movies, bowling, fishing, gaming, etc, but as friends. It was important to keep chanting this in my head as I came to realize I was falling for Kong.
I wasn’t sure how he saw me, and I didn’t dare to broach this topic. I was mildly afraid that whatever we had between us would be disrupted or ruined if Kong did not feel the same way as I did. It was easier to pass off everything between us as friends, I guess.
We were out again for a movie when we bumped into P Nut. He was with a guy friend, too. He smiled when he saw us, coming up to chat with us. His friend smiled politely but didn’t say anything. Kong had to answer a call from his dad, so he stepped away.
“Is that your boyfriend? I finally heard P Nut’s friend speak. Before I could say anything, P Nut had affirmed P Kong was.
The friend’s face looked slightly disappointed, but he just commented I had a very cute boyfriend.
“What a pity he’s taken. If he isn’t, I would definitely want to know him!” P Nut just smacked his friend for being rude and apologised to me, but I didn’t say anything, just nodding my head. I really wanted to smack that guy but held myself back. Just then, Kong came back and asked what the conversation was about. Nut didn’t want to say, but his friend just spilt the beans.
Just then, Kong looked at me. He saw my hands and realized. He just slung his arms around me and said, “Hope you defended your man.”.
I looked at Kong stunned and didn’t say anything. He just smiled as he turned back to Nut and his friend.
“Lucky, he’s a much more calmer guy these days. Please don’t say it like that next time, even as a joke. I doubt my boyfriend will be that patient.”
Despite Kong’s teasing voice, the message was clear. And P Nut just apologised for his friend’s stupidity while said guy had the decency to look chastised.
We all went our separate ways after that but Kong was still holding onto me. Once we reached my bike, Kong took his hand off me.
“I..imm.”
I didn’t let Kong complete his words. I pulled him by his shirt close to me, grabbing his neck firmly as I pulled him in for a kiss.
“Just don’t say you are sorry or you did that to diffuse the situation. Because that’s a lie.”
I whispered, close against his lips after kissing him. I looked up to him, “Right?”
Kong just smiled as he returned my kiss.
“I was wondering when I will ever get to do this. I’m tired of hiding all that we do under the pretext of being friends. I want to be your boyfriend, Lam.”
“Grumpy Lam, you mean.”
Kong laughed as he leaned in, kissing me again. “You are right, grumpy Lam.”
I held onto him for a bit before hugging him and letting go. He caressed my cheeks and just then, his dad called, asking when he was coming by. Kong answered that he will swing by on Sunday with his boyfriend. The gasp and surprise plus joy in his dad’s voice was not missed at all.
In fact, I couldnt wait to see the look on his dad’s face when he realized it was me. The next day, on Sunday, we went by to Kong’s house.
Kong’s dad answered the door excitedly wanting to see Kong’s boyfriend. Kong didn’t say anything but stepped aside to let the dad see me and the response was just heart warming.
All his dad said was, “About time!”
I laughed as I went in, hugging his dad as usual. All his dad did was whisper thank you in my ears.
It will always be our secret but I knew he was thanking me for being the one who love Kong with all of my heart and more as I knew I have to always share Kong’s heart with his dad. But that didn’t faze me at all.
This man deserves everything and this was nothing compared to everything he has ever given me.
