Yo got up from his bed and went to the flowers, staring at them in awe. They were breathtakingly beautiful, he leaned down and sniffed them.

God damned!

It smelt a lot like Phana. It smelt like his perfume and his after shave. No wonder Yo was smelling him everywhere, the scent was overpowering his entire room. He looked around looking for Josh's flowers but couldn't find them anywhere. He was about to call for his mother to ask but then he remembered his state, he was disheveled and has a wet boxer on. Turning a furious red he dashed to the bathroom to take a bath and change.

Refreshed, he descended the stairs carefully, still expecting to find Phana around. Seeing no one he shook his head, he was really going crazy. He was probably missing Pha so much that he was now confusing his dream into a reality. He soon became distracted by a wonderful smell coming from the kitchen.

Yo's stomach growled as he followed the smell and seated himself at the table, all ready for his lunch. His mother came next and was happy to see his son up and ready for the day. She was passing him the dishes when she paused and stared at him weirdly, "Yo why is your neck so red?"

She got up worriedly and came to him, inspecting him like the mother hen she was.

"Ohh my poor baby, look it's all over your chest too. Maybe you are allergic to something but you didn't eat anything except for my soup. Ohh my! Do you think the chicken was bad?"

Yo was baffled, he didn't check himself in the mirror earlier on so he didn't know that he was red. Getting up he ran to the bathroom to check himself. His mother was indeed right, he had red marks all over his neck and chest. For that matter, his lips looked swollen and cracked. His dream came back to him in clarity, he remembered Pha biting him on his neck and chest but that was only a dream...was it?

Yo was getting more paranoid by the minute, how can he explained the red marks when he doesn't know how he got them himself. The only explanation he has was that his boss and he made love but it was all in his dream. Yo turned pale, he wasn't sure if it was a dream or not anymore. His mother knock loudly on the door, "are you ok Yo? Do you want me to call a doctor?"

Yo hurriedly opened the door and presented her a fake smile, "it's nothing mum. I just scrubbed myself too hard while taking a bath. It will go away after a couple of hours."

His mother looked relief as she scolded him, "why would you scrub so hard! Take care of your skin, you know how fragile you are. What if it breaks out into pimples?"

"I know, I know. I'm sorry I will not do it next time. Now let's have our lunch, I'm starving."

He followed his mum to the kitchen and try to keep his mind occupied by having small conversation with her to hide his growing uneasiness. He was turning cold from the inside the more he thought about it and he was really afraid of going crazy. Taking all his courage he cleared his voice and timidly asked his mother, "mum, was there anyone else who visited me today?"

"No, why?"

"I'm just asking because I slept till late."

"There wasn't anyone. The only guest we had was your father's."

Yo wanted to ask about the black roses but he kept quiet, he wasn't sure of how to approach the subject without raising any concern. What was he supposed to tell his mother? His boss sneaked into his room and they had wonderful foreplay but he thinks it was only a dream? And ohh yes his yellow and orange flowers turned into black roses! His mum would surely panic and send him to a doctor immediately.

He ate his lunch quickly and went back to his room, the roses was still there along with Pha's scent, although it was diminishing now. The roses was definitely from him but how did he get inside his room without getting noticed? His house was under high security 24/7 and the guards don't open the gates unless one of the family members give permission, so if Pha would have really come by his mother should have known about it. He paced around in panic.

One day, he only wanted to have one day free of Phana but it seemed like fate was playing a cruel game with him.

He turned on his phone to check for any messages. There was none which was even more baffling because if Yo was late for 5 minutes Pha would start to call and send messages but today he ignored his absence.

"Arrrrrrrrr.." He threw his phone on his bed in frustration. Pha was driving him to the point of insanity. He took a deep breath to calm himself then decided to get out of the house for a must needed distraction and the only one who can make him forget his worries is Ming. He called him immediately.

"Hey Ming, let's go somewhere. I'm bored."

"Yo buddy, did you forget that I'm pursuing my Masters now. I'm in class man."

"Doesn't matter, i know you want to get out of that dreadful class so meet me at our favourite place."

He cut the call, knowing that Ming will join him there.

"Mum, I'm out. I will be late, don't wait for me."

Yo shouted loudly as he descended the stairs and went pass his surprised mum. Once outside he instructed the driver to leave him at their appointed place. As the car was rounding a corner Yo caught sight of something yellow. Watching closely, he saw an old lazy walking slowly with some gorgeous yellow and orange flowers. He frowned as he tried to remember whether it was his flowers because it seemed to be the exact replica as his. But then, it could be a coincidence. Maybe she bought it at the same place Josh bought his. He shook his head quickly and refused to dwell deeper on this matter.

For the sake of his sanity, it's better that he forgets. As soon as the car stopped, Yo got out quickly looking for Ming. He spotted him a bit far away chatting with some girls, his friend will never change. He was the biggest flirt that Yo has ever known. Approaching quietly, he cleared his voice to make his presence known. Ming turned around and immediately hugged him, happy to have his friend for the day.

"Lovelies, let me present to you my best bud, Wayo."

Yo greeted them blushing at their admiring glances.

"Gosh you're so cute.."

"Ming you have such a lovely friend."

"Hi are you single?"

Yo's head snapped up at the question, he smiled brightly and nodded but stopped them before they get their hopes high," I am single but I'm sorry you girls are not my type. I am gay."

"Awwwww, no wonder you're so cute."

"I'm sure you will get a very handsome man."

Yo smile turned sad, he already has his own dream man but he was taken. Ming rubbed his shoulder gently, he noticed his friend's sudden down mood so he waved goodbye to the girls and hurried his precious buddy inside the building, knowing that it was the only way to lift his mood in the fastest.

Like all rich kids, Yo was no different. He loves spending his dad's money therefore his favourite place turned out to be the shopping mall! He loves shopping for unnecessary things, he loves the greasy foods and the French pastries and moreover he loves the arcade attached to it. Yo and Ming can spend the whole day in there, no matter how many money they lose. But for now Yo was looking for a gift for his Mother, any special occasion? No, except for Yo's in the mood to shop.

Shopping always distract him and he loves the idea of getting anything he wants. After shopping for gift 7 for his mum, he entered a boutique to look for something for him. Ming tagged along, not bothering to buy anything. Unlike his friend, his favourite way to distract himself was to go clubbing, however he always dutifully tagged along with Yo because that's what friends does.

After 45 minutes of choosing between a pair of cute flowery shorts and a pair of pineapple designed shorts, Yo finally bought both feeling silly of having to choose one when he has the money to buy as many as he wants. After some more shopping for his dad and brother he started feeling hungry and dragged Ming to the food court, salivating at all the goodies displayed. Ming went to buy fried rice for them while Yo stood gazing at the pastry display.

"Choose one, I will buy it for you." Yo glanced in surprised at the man beside. He looked a little older than Yo and he was radiating charm and confidence. Yo quickly shook his head.

"No it's ok. I was only looking, I need some real food first."

"Ohh come on, what's a little dessert before the main course. I tell you," he leaned closer to him and winked playfully, " I always have my dessert before the main course because dessert is life."

Yo blinked at the man, he was also the same. He smiled cutely, " I think like you. There is no appropriate time for dessert."

"So come on, choose one. I want to treat you."

" But why?"

"Because you are simply too cute and you looked like a child in Disney world standing in front of this display. I couldn't resist approaching you."

Yo bit his lips and hesitated, he was about to refuse again when he heard a low hiss behind him and a voice that he knew too well, "he has his man to buy him everything he wants. Get lost."

The man looked frightened for a moment but he quickly composed himself and turned apologic, " sorry but it was not my intention to hit on him. I really want to buy him something but it seems like you misunderstood." He turned to Yo, "until next time cute guy."

Pha growled, " there won't be any next time. I will skin you alive if I find you near him again."

Yo gasped and turned disbelievingly to Pha, " how dare you!"

"I warned you that you're mine so why were you flirting with him?"

"That's none of your business and what are you doing here anyway? Are you following me?"

Pha scowled, he was staring intensely at Yo, a beat beating in his cheek. Yo stared back before turning to go. He had enough with his nonsense but a hand reached out and grabbed him from behind, stopping him in his track.

"You know I really don't like it when you turn your back to me like this. I want you to come to me, not to go away so from now on refrain yourself from doing it because I won't be so forgiving next time."

Yo snorted and snatched his arms back, still refusing to look at him. He walked away quickly as he heard sound of heavy footsteps behind him. Pha was following him but Yo didn't care, he kept going blindly until he collided against Ming who was coming in his direction.

"Woahhh! What the fuck Yo, can't you see I'm carrying our food?"

Yo ignored him, he went pass and sat down at an empty table, huffed and angry. He crossed his arms and pouted angrily. Ming came and deposited their food in the table, "what happened? And why is your boss here?"

"How should I know!" Yo glanced sneakily at his boss and turned burning red.

"Yo man! You look like a boiling lobster." Ming teased him as Yo's eyes narrowed at the scene in front of him. Ming turned precauciously back and sighed, he now understand what got his friend so riffed. His boss was here with a gorgeous lady and Yo was evidently burning with jealousy.

Yo huffed as Samantha saw him and came over walking sexily and attracting a lot of attention in the process. Everyone's eyes were on her and the ones who recognised her was talking pictures like she was a celebrity. Pha already seated at a table some distance away from them. He was watching them like a hawk with a deep scowl on his face.

"Hi Wayo, nice to meet you here."

Yo's face turned sour as he regarded her, he didn't bother to reply her since she lost interest in him as soon as she saw Ming. She smiled beautiful at him, "hi.."

Ming was already enchanted, he gave her his signature playboy smile and lean back against his seat, looking up at her, "hi gorgeous."

Yo sighed, first P'Forth wife and now Samantha, these ladies were so similar that it was almost uncanny. He had no choice but to break the spell between his friend and that witch, "what are you doing here P'Sam?"

"Ohh, I heard a lot about the food here so I wanted to try it. I brought Phana because he was working all day and didn't even has his lunch. He deserves a break from all his worki...."

"That's great, I'm sure you both must be very hungry. I recommend the Indian corner. Have a nice meal." Yo said hurriedly interrupting her. He wanted to be done with her as soon as possible. Sam looked startled but she agreed reluctantly and left after biding Ming a flirty goodbye.

"Woahhh, you're really in a bad mood huhh. You are always so nice to everyone, is it because of your boss?" Ming asked as soon as she disappeared.

"That girl, she's the fiancée Ming so I suggest you to stay far away from her."

Ming looked surprised then started laughing, "I can now understand your mood, you got big tough competition bro." Yo threw him a dark glare as Ming raised his hands in surrender and promised not to tease him anymore. His little friend can get very feisty sometime.

Yo was playing around with his food when he suddenly remembered something, Sam said that Pha worked all day!

He dropped his spoon as his blood turned cold, if he was working all day then who gave him the roses bathed in his scent? How did he get all these red marks on his neck and chest, why was his dream so real like.. He already assumed that it was not possible to be a reality but now that it was confirmed he was even more baffled.

So many questions and no answer. Yo was fed up, he was really going crazy and it was all because if Pha.

He narrowed his eyes at these two, look at them. Being the happy couple that everyone envied. Even through Sam was doing all the talking to a stone faced Pha, Yo was only seeing them eating happily while he can't even swallow his delicious rice bacause he was terrified of loosing his mind and sanity. He squeezed his eyes shut as he started seeing red and he was sure steam was coming out of his ears. He took a deep breath and said calmly,

"Ming, prepare to run.."

"Huhh? Wh...what?"

Yo stood up quietly, he gathered his stuffs and walked to the soon to be married couple.

"P'Pha.." a sweet voice called out and Pha turned in surprise only to get a plate full of fried rice over his head followed by a glass of pink milk. Before he could react Yo and Ming was out of his sight, running for their life.

Yo entered his house shakily, the chilling message that he got while they were on their way home was still resonating around his mind.

"You will pay for this."

He switched off his mobile immediately, in case other threatening messages would come. He knows that he can't escape from his boss, definitely not after his brave and stupid act.

"You're home early baby. Come eat with us." His mother called out from the dinning room. His father and brother was already seated.

"I thought you will eat with Ming." His father commented.

"I threw my dinner over someone's head." Yo muttered under his breath as he seated himself and reached for the dishes.

"Be sure to get to work in time tomorrow ok." His father continued as Yo groaned aloud and slided down his seat, tying to hide himself. His boss will surely kill him tomorrow.

"No excuses this time young man." His father said in a stern voice, "I have already promised him that you will present yourself at work tomorrow."

Yo tried to argue back, "I only told you to tell him I'm sick, not to promise to send me to work the next day."

" Don't try to argue Yo, you will go to work tomorrow no matter what and he dropped by earlier to discuss some business matters with me. It was then that I promised to send you to work. I presented my excuses to him for your abs....."

Yo wasn't listening anymore, he drowned out the rest of his words as soon as he heard about Pha dropping by his house earlier on.

Pha was in his house....

It all make sense to him now, Pha entered his room and left his mark. He really replaced the flowers and they really made love, it was not a dream.

Phana Kongthanin was really proving to be a sadist.
