Friday-Saturday - Tokyo

Kongpob's POV

After showering, I came out to find Arthit had fallen asleep sitting in bed with his back against the headboard. He is holding a magazine in his hand. I slowly approached, and sat next to him. I took this opportunity to observe him up close.

Earlier when he kissed me with such fiery, I thought things would have escalated. To be honest, I'm a bit nervous about getting intimate with him. That's not to say I don't want him. It's all that has been on my mind the past week before coming to Tokyo. The tightness in my pants from every kiss and every touch we share can be proof of that. It's just that I have never done it with another man before. What if I made a fool out of myself?

Another thing is, I don't really want to rush things with him. I don't want him to think he is just an experiment to me. I didn't come all the way to Japan just because I'm curious.

I'm for real, and I want him to know that. I'm not like that asshole ex-boyfriend of his that has left him self-doubting. His insecurities will also need some reassurance. He just doesn't see how wonderful he is, and I want to change that.

My image is clearly not helping the case. However, I'm not apologizing for being who I am. I just need him to learn to trust me. So, instead of just jumping in bed, I want him to want more than that. I'm really taking a leap of faith, and I want him to do the same. There's no guarantee where it will take us, but at least we can say we gave it an honest chance.

I inwardly smiled at my own thoughts. When did I turn into this sappy romantic idiot? I leaned closer to him. How did I not notice how beautiful he is before? His smooth white skin and his soft pink lips make him look almost angelic. I gently swept his bangs to the side. I looked from his eyes to his perfectly shaped nose to his slightly parted lips. I inched closer to steal a little kiss. Just a little one that he will not even notice.

Arthit's POV

I woke up lying on my side, tangled with Kongpob's arms around me. Again, he is shirtless. His face is mere inches away from mine. He is so close that I can count his lashes. His bare arm touched the skin of my waist because my shirt had ridden up. My hands are caged in front of me. My heart is pounding loudly. So loud that I'm afraid it will wake him. The damn butterflies are dancing inside again.

My hungry eyes drank him in. His bare naked chest is beckoning me to touch it. The crook of his neck, and the lines of his collar bone is inviting me for a taste. His exposed nipple looks perfectly innocent, yet it's tempting me to suck on it. But what I wanted most was those enticing soft lips on mine again.

Last night, I almost lost all my self-control. I was almost ready to take all he was willing to give. The sexual tension we have between us is so overwhelming. With him showering me with his attention all day had only added fuel to the fire. So, even if this is only for a weekend, I was willing to indulge myself for once. And maybe he would just get me out of his system, once and for all. But that's exactly what I didn't want. I didn't want him to get me out of his system. I want his attention as long as I can get it.

I really like waking up with him sleeping next to me like this.

"I want to kiss you too, but I should brush first." Kongpob mumbled with his eyes closed.

"You're awake? Why didn't you say anything?"

"To give you more time to fall for me." He smiled.

"Stupid."

As if I could fall any harder or faster.

Kongpob pulled me against his chest, and I'm secretly excited that my hands are touching his bare chest. I bent my knees a little to make sure there's some distance down there so he won't feel my excitement. I probably should get up, and take a cold shower.

"Kongpob, you didn't wear a shirt again?"

"I don't like sleeping in clothes. I already kept my underwear on for your sake. If you insist that I wear clothes, then I'm going to have to sleep in my own room."

"No. I'm okay with it. And what do you mean 'for my sake'?" I gave him my stinkeyes, and pursed my lips together.

I have no idea what I'm doing, but it earned me a peck on my lips. He ran his hand along my back a couple of times chuckling. Being cocooned by Kongpob gave me a warm feeling that's bubbling inside of me. My heart is so full that it's threatening to spill over. I don't think I've ever felt this way before.

"Fine. It's for my sake then. I haven't been in a relationship for a long time, and I don't want to rush things. Are you okay with that?"

"Kongpob, you make me sound like I'm going to jump you." I really want to, but you don't know that.

"My mistake. It's you who is too tempting then." Kongpob said, and then he pulled me in for a long passionate kiss that left me breathless and softly moaning. When I opened my eyes, he was already heading to the bathroom. I was left panting, and my dick saluting the risen sun. He did that to me with just a fucking kiss.

He is such a wicked tease. I grunted into my pillow. I got up after I heard him turn on the shower. I took some clothes, and went to use the bathroom on the other side. I need a nice cold shower too.

Today, I promised myself that I will just enjoy being with him. I will make happy memories with him.

When I came out of the shower, Kongpob was already dressed and waiting for me. Kongpob was dressed in casual clothes. All refreshed and handsome. Why does he look so good in everything? Is it still too soon to attack him? I've waited forty-five minutes already. Did I give him enough time?

"Arthit, is there anything that you want to do in Tokyo that you haven't done?"

He smiled at me, and started to walk towards me. I'm so dazed by his smile directed at me that I have no idea what he just said.

"Arthit. Are you okay?" He runs his hand through my wet hair that I was drying with a towel.

I finally break out of my trance. I embarrassingly looked away as I don't think I even blinked when I was staring at him.

"Yeah, I'm okay. What were you saying? Sorry, my mind was somewhere else."

"That's okay. I was just asking if there's anything in particular you want to do in Tokyo. It's our last day here. We will fly back early tomorrow morning. I want you to have as much fun as possible today."

"Anything is fine. I didn't get to do much when I was here last time."

"Name some of the things you wanted to do, but didn't get to do."

"I wanted to go to the Ghibli Museum, Tokyo One Piece Tower, and go to Sushi Dai."

"Haha.... I'm dating a ten year old boy, but okay let's do all of it. I love One Piece too."

"But it's too late to go get in line for Sushi Dai. Do you have a shortcut to get in?" Come on, tell me you've got more magic up your sleeve.

"Nope. Unfortunately, I am no different from any other customer. I'm just another commoner. We can go for dinner after Ghibli and One Piece, okay?"

"The wait is really long then. It might take two or even three hours. Kongpob, are you sure you can wait that long?"

"To me, as long as we are together, then it doesn't matter what we are doing. Why don't we go to Ghibli after breakfast, then we go to One Piece Tower and have lunch there too. We can pick up some mangas at the One Piece gift shop as souvenirs, and we can read them to kill time when we wait for Sushi Dai."

"Sounds perfect!" I know I'm grinning like an idiot now, but that really did sound perfect to me.

Is it selfish to say that I don't want to leave tomorrow? Am I being too greedy to want more. Surely, when we go back to reality, I will have to wake up from this dream.

"Arthit, I don't want to make you uncomfortable, so just let me know if I do."

"Okay, but definitely no kissing in public."

"Okay, then let's kiss now before we go out."

I stood still and just watched as Kongpob cupped my face with his hand. He leaned into me, and gave me a soft kiss. A kiss so gentle and soft like I would break if he wasn't careful. He took a step back, and just smiled at me like I was precious. I can just die happy now.

The day went as planned. I had a great time today with Kongpob. Aki drove us from point to point. These two days have been awesome. It had totally made up for my previous bad trip. Sushi Dai was also amazing. I'm so glad it lived up to its hype. The fish was so fresh, the rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the rice to fish ratio was perfect too. I can see why people are willing to wait so long in line for it now. I would do it again if I have time on my next visit. 

Today, Kongpob stayed close to me, but he gave me enough space that I didn't feel awkward. At some point, I even tried to stand closer to him because I think I was missing him, if that makes sense. But he did sneak a kiss on my cheek when we were at the Ghibli Museum inside a dark display of Spirited Away when no one was looking. He said that he needed fuel for the rest of the day. I'm telling you, he is one cheeky bastard.

So all day after that one kiss, I've been wondering when he will suddenly sneak up on me again. The anticipation made me very antsy. I started to stay close to him just so it would be easier if he decided to kiss me at any moment. But he didn't do it again. He didn't even come near me.

By the time we got to the One Piece Tower, I actually wanted to sneak a kiss on him. And not the peck on the cheek kind. I wanted a real kiss. I was so tired of waiting for him to make a move. However, there were no dark secluded areas like Ghibli. So, I didn't get a chance to kiss him like I wanted to. Now, I regret telling him no kissing in public. I can't believe he took it so serious.

On a side note, I was surprised that Kongpob was actually a One Piece fan, and he even dressed up as Luffy for a few pictures. For someone growing up in his shoes, I didn't think he had time for such things as anime. I'm glad I got to see another side of him.

Now, we are heading back to the hotel. He says he can't wait to get back to Bangkok tomorrow. Why does it make me sad when I hear him say that? What will happen when we get back? Suddenly, I remembered that I need to contact my real estate agent when I get back. I need to see if that property that I missed signing on Friday is still available. I guess reality is waiting.
