Absolutely Yours 7

Happy Valentine’s Everyone. <3

Arthit’s POV

“Kongpob!”

I yelled my heart out. He was really good at getting on my nerves.

I heard him chuckled.

Bright whistled and Prem had a clever smile on his face.

I knew Knot was just holding back his laughter by the way his jaw flexed.

I looked at Kongpob,  he was looking at me intently with an amuse grin on his lips.

“Yes, captain? ” he said grinning showing his perfect smile.

“What? ” I made sure that he could see the irritation on my face. “Are you game or not? ” I asked impatiently.

“Sure, but, ” he closed his book and leaned his back on the chair comfortably.

“But what? “

“What do I get from it?”

“What do you want? ” I asked.

He bit his lips while thinking then said. “What can you offer? ” he asked playfully.

“Just tell me what you want so we could get this over with, ” I said.

“You. ” it was difficult to comprehend whether it was a question or a statement.

“Stop fooling around, ” I said in a stern tone. 

He smiled cleverly. “I was just kidding, “ he winked.

“You should brush up your sense of humor, it wasn’t funny at all. ” I said with a poker face.

“I bet the other seniors would disagree, ” I saw my friends having a hard time refraining themselves from laughing.

Bright was biting his lips so hard that I felt like it was about to bleed.

Prem shrugged and raised his hands then shook his head.

Knot was silently laughing but then stopped when I looked at him.

Later. I gave them a warning look.

I just want this to be over.

I pursed my lips. “On Saturday, at the gym,” I muttered between my teeth. “I hope you already know what you want by then,” 

“Okay,  it’s a date then. ” he said calmly.

“It’s a game then. ” I muttered between my teeth.

I turned around to leave.

I have been keeping my anger in because I don’t want to get into trouble with coach.

The three followed suit.

I went straight to our basketball practice. I directed all my frustrations in it.

“Arthit, let us hold the ball too. You’re shooting non stop. ” a teammate complained while panting.

“Then,  go steal it. ” I may be small but I was quick. Moreover, I was known to be good from the three point area.

I did not improve overnight.

I worked hard to be good at it.

I joined every basketball summer camp and constantly challenged myself to become better.

I guess hard work paid off.

Sahit came across my mind. She was there along the way.

She waited for me for hours during practice.

She patiently endured my cockiness when I was tired.

She constantly cheered me up when we lost in a game.

She always has this cliche words of wisdom that somewhat helped me.

I smiled bitterly and deeply sighed.

I attempted a fake pass then turn to do a lay up.

Shoot. Yes!

“You seemed to be in the mood to play today” Knot asked.

I ignored him, his tone sounds like he was up to no good.

“He needs to practice for Saturday because he wants to impress his Kong, ” Bright added.

I raised my brow. “My Kong? ” I asked Bright.

I threw the ball at him. “Yes, your Kongpob and only. ” he continued to tease.

“Tsk. Shut the hell up, ” I said. I felt like my blood went up to my head.

“Whoa, you’re blushing, ” Prem joined in.

They both laughed.

“That’s enough, ” Knot stopped them. “We don’t want to annoy Arthit, do we? ” then laughed.

“He he, ” I mocked then glared at them. “Just so you know, I always practice this hard. Unlike you,  always slacking off. “

They shrugged, not buying it.

“Is he really that good that you expected me to be afraid of him? ” It was irritating me that everyone seemed to think highly of him.

“Not afraid but do not underestimate him, ” Knot said.

“Tsk, ” I smirked.

I walked out of the court.

I heard them all laugh. They have this habit of annoying me recently.

I heard my phone vibrated when I arrived in the locker room.

I wonder who was it.

I am in town. Meet me tonight at 8.
Sahit

I was glad to receive a message from her but at the same time there was a pang in my heart.

I don’t think I am ready to meet her again, yet.

It wasn’t that I was planning on not meeting her ever again.

I just want to be ready and I want to be truly happy for her when we do.

I called her immediately to tell her I won’t be able to come.

“Sah-” she cut me off.

“Arthit, I won’t take no for an answer. ” she didn’t even greet me yet.

“I am busy, ” I reasoned out.

“Nope, two or three hours won’t hurt your schedule for sure. Come here at 8. I’ll introduce you to someone. ” then she hung up.

I shook my head.

It might be her boyfriend.

How am I supposed to act in front of your boyfriend?

It bothered me.

I will have to meet him eventually anyway, soon might be better. I consoled myself.

I have thought that this might be a good chance to check her boyfriend out.

Although, a part of me hope he breaks her heart when I found out about it.

Still,  I can’t bear to see Sahit hurt.

I smiled bitterly.

I looked at my watch.

5:30

I still have ample of time to go back to the dormitory and prepare.

I took a shower and headed to the hotel she mentioned in her text.

Onetel Hotel Room 714

The hotel was located at the center of the city so traffic was inevitable.

I was glad I made it on time though.

I doubled checked the number again before knocking on the door.

I knocked twice but no one was answering.

I checked Sahit’s message again.

I am pretty sure I am at the right hotel and room number.

When I was about to knock again.

The door opened.

I sighed in relief and I slid the corner of my mouth upward to form a smile on my face.

When the door opened.

I was astonished to see the person who opened the door.

“Arthit? ”

“Kongpob? ”

We spoke simultaneously.

Why the hell is he here?
