Third Person POV

After Godt paid the pharmacy cashier for the tube of lube, he gently took Bas' hand in his and led him out of the pharmacy and walked towards the foyer where he pushed the service button for an elevator that would take them to his cabin.

Bas' heart was hammering like crazy against his chest once more. He was not aware that Godt's heart was pounding harder and faster than his.

Just as they reached Godt's cabin, Bas' phone started to ring.

Bas' heart jumped to his throat. His mouth suddenly went dry. He knew from the ringtone who was calling him.

But he couldn't understand why. Why after all this time, BamBam would suddenly remember to call him.

Bas turned to Godt who had already unlocked his cabin door.

"Will you please excuse me, P'Godt? Can I just quickly take this call for a moment?"

"Sure," said Godt, after a brief hesitation. He was wondering who would be calling Bas at this time. For some reason, his heart sank to the bottom of his feet.

Bas pulled out his phone from his pocket. Then he walked down the corridor away from Godt.

He swiped the screen of his phone.

"Bas??? Bas???" BamBam's voice sounded hesitant at first.

"Yes, it's me," Bas said in a low tone.

"Bas!" now BamBam's voice sounded excited, "I've been trying to call you all this time, why wouldn't you take my calls???"

"What???" Bas was shocked at this information. His heart started beating fast again.

"Didn't you get any of my voice mails at all???" asked BamBam.

"No, I didn't" Bas replied.

"That's so weird!" BamBam exclaimed. "Where are you right now? I would like to see you! I just landed at Suvarnabhumi Airport. I would like to see you straight from here!"

Oh shit, Bas muttered under his breath.

"I'm not in Thailand right now, BamBam," Bas informed him, "I'm vacationing on a cruise ship right now."

"Which cruise ship are you on?" BamBam asked.

Bas hesitated to tell him. Bas was starting to get all confused and flustered. He knew that he still loved BamBam but what about Godt, what was he gonna do with Godt who had confessed his attraction to him and had even stated that he felt that it was not just some fleeting attraction. Should he nip Godt's attraction to him in the bud before it got all serious?

Maybe the best thing to do was to turn Godt down now before anything serious happened between them.

"BamBam," Bas said after a brief hesitation, "will you please give me a few minutes? I'll call you back in a few minutes, that's a promise, okay?"

"Wait, why won't you tell me the name of the cruise ship you're on right now?" BamBam's voice sounded a bit suspicious. "What's going on, sweetheart??? Please tell me the truth."

Bas did not want to tell BamBam what was going on, of course.

"BamBam, please, I promise to call you back," Bas said before cutting the call.

"No, wait!!!" BamBam tried to say but it was too late. Bas did not hear BamBam.

Bas turned around to walk back to Godt.

Bas almost jumped because Godt was right behind him and he almost bumped against Godt's chest.

How long had he been standing where he was right now. Did he hear all of his conversation with BamBam?

"I thought you said that you had no more contact with your boyfriend," Godt said, sounding really, really disappointed.

"That wasn't my boyfriend," Bas protested, but he felt his ears growing hot.

"Oh, so there are several BamBams existing in your circle of contacts?" Godt asked sarcastically.

"P'Godt ... " Bas' voice started to quiver, "I don't know what to do right now. I'm very, very confused right now. Please try to understand."

Bas' voice cracked near the end of his sentence. His tears started to flow down his cheeks.

Upon seeing that, Godt pulled Bas close to his chest.

"Sshhh, it's okay, Bas," Godt said comfortingly, "why don't you call back BamBam just as you promised. He's waiting for your call. Don't break your promise."

"But what about you, P'Godt?" Bas was still crying, "what are you gonna do?"

"I will keep you company until BamBam comes to join you at the next port of call," Godt said putting on a brave expression even though his tears were threatening to fall at any given time.

"I can't do that to you, P'Godt!" Bas cried, "it would not be fair to you!"

Suddenly Bas' phone started ringing again. It was the same ringtone.

"Take his call, Bas," Godt urged him, "you have to deal with him. You have to decide what your heart really wants you to do."

"Okay, P'Godt," said Bas, still crying, "I'm so sorry, P'Godt."

Bas gave Godt a tight hug before walking away from him to take BamBam's call.

"I'm sorry, too," Godt said in a whisper, his tears flowing freely now but Bas did not hear him and Bas had turned away before he could see Godt's cheeks wet with tears.

Bas swiped his call to take BamBam's call. Godt walked back to his cabin, his surroundings looking bleak and blurry because his tears were clouding his vision.

"Bas???"

"Yes, BamBam," Bas said softly as he walked farther down the corridor.

"Bas! Your voice sounds like you've been crying! Are you alright???" BamBam sounded very concerned.

"BamBam, I can't tell you the name of this cruise ship that I'm on," Bas informed him.

"Why not, Bas?" BamBam sounded very disappointed this time.

"Because if you join me at the next port of call, things will get very complicated," Bas informed him.

"What are you trying to say, Bas?" BamBam's voice was no more than a whisper.

BamBam could not hear Bas' reply. All he could hear was Bas' sobbing on the phone.

"Bas! Talk to me, please!!!" BamBam pleaded. BamBam felt like his whole world was collapsing all around him.

"I don't know what to say right now, BamBam," Bas finally spoke between sobs.

"Have you found someone else, Bas?" BamBam did not want to ask but he felt the need to know the truth.

There was silence on the other end. 

BamBam could not see Bas nodding his head but Bas' silence told BamBam all the truth that he needed to know.
