"P'Pha, I will not be here for lunch. I will go to the salon with Ming to get a new hair colour."

"No."

"But P'Phaaaa, you will be busy with your conference. It will take at least 3 hours, what am I supposed to do then? I will get bored so it's better that I go to the salon."

"Maybe you can try working? I heard that's a great way to pass time. Here, let me help you. You edit those and filed it into the system. You must finish by the time I'm back."

"Are you being sarcastic P'Pha? Because it does not suit you at all." Yo huffed and left his desk to go to the sofa far away from him. He sat down heavily on it and crossed his arms pouting moodily.

"Yo? Baby... sweetheart?.... darling?... Ok I guess we are having out first lover's fight."

Yo refused adamantly to look into his direction, he breathed heavily to control his anger and glared at him from the corner of his eyes after few minutes when a complete silence descended upon the room. Just at that moment he received a call from Ming. Glancing defiantly at the stone faced Pha he took the call and spoke loudly for the tall man to hear him clearly, "Yes Ming, sure the plan is on. After that let's eat something delicious. Ok see you in 1 hour."

He felt something heavy settling down beside him and then suddenly he was being lifted onto Pha's lap, "why do you keep defying me? I genuinely care about you baby and you know tgat I can't have you far away from me for long period of time."

Yo sighed as he put his head on Pha's shoulder, "I'm not being defiant. I just want to spend some time with my best friend and then I will come back to you as soon as possible."

"You know it's very dangerous right? The paparazzi and the reporters will hassle you but if you really want to go then I will have to send a couple of bodyguards with you."

Yo shook his head but Pha wasn't having any of it, "no argument love, if you want to go then my men will tag along."

Yo looked at his serious face after reluctantly agreeing, at least Pha was allowing him to go with Ming. He gave him a soft kiss on his cheek as a thank you because he knew how hard it was for Pha to give him permission. The latter can't even think and breathe one minute without him but he was making efforts and that counted a lot for their relationship.

"P'Pha there's this great movie that just came out. Ming wanted to see...."

"No!" Pha cut him before he could finish, "a movie lasts 2-3 hours and that is too long for me. Don't push your luck baby."

Yo sighed and put his head back in his shoulder, at least he tried.

1 hour and 15 minutes later

"Are you serious Yo? Are they really going to follow us like that? Hell even my dogs don't do that, they lost interest in me very quickly once I take them for a walk. They even left me once and returned home all by themselves." Ming has been complaining ever since he came to fetch Yo from his office to take him to the salon. He couldn't catch sight of his little friend until he found him squeezing among a group of giants to wave at him. Imagined his surprise when Yo told him that these Bigfoot was going to tag along with them.

"I know Ming, even I don't like it." Yo retorted sourly. He was fed up from Ming's grumpy mood and he was loosing his patience quickly. Pha's couple of guys turned out to be 5 huge mountains. Ok, it wasn't nice to call them like that but they were really big and intimading. He recognised two of them, they were the one who stopped him from leaving the office that one time so he knew that there was no persuading them to go back to where they came from.

As they got walked out from the building they started attracting a lot of attention. No one dared to approached them because the guards were too frightening. They were the exact episome of a movie bodyguard, they were all in black and they were also wearing black sunglasses just like in the 'James Bond' movie. There was a lot of reporters hovering outside but no one was daring to approach Yo. Some did try and some started shouting out loud questions but they were all ignored as the guards made way for them and escorted them safely to the car.

Yo guessed that this might be Pha's strategy to make him come back as soon as possible because everywhere they would go, people would stare at them weirdly, thus, making them uncomfortable. Ming was still grumpy and was muttering under his breath as his hair dresser threw a suspicious glance at the five men occupying the seats behind them. They had no choice but the separate quickly after Yo has coloured his hair black. Ming just had an unnecessary haircut.

"I'm sorry for today Ming." Yo apologied regretfully as he hugged his friend. They decided to cancel the lunch plan because they wouldn't have been able to eat comfortably with the guards watching over them and suffocating them.

"It's ok, it's not your fault. I know this is all P' Pha's doing but I guess he is just trying to protect you." Yo looked at his chest fallen friend then suddenly remembered something, "gosh! How could I forget. We have a fun outing this weekend!"

Ming perked up immediately, "really? How come I'm only hearing about it now?"

"Because I came to know this morning myself. Come with us, we will put up tents and have barbecue on the beach."

Ming was already jumping with anticipation, "of course I'm coming, have you ever known me to miss such an opportunity? So at what time shall we meet?"

"Meet us in front of the building at 8am. The bus will wait until 8:30."

"Cool. Ok see you tomorrow."

Yo gave him a quick hug, smilling for ear to ear, " Don't forget to bring your spare boxers because you always forget them."

Ming nodded quickly glancing around to see whether anyone has heard Yo. He found all the guards looking at him with a mocking smirk in their faces. He turned red and threw a disgrunted glare at Yo who couldn't stop himself from laughing out loud. They separated after that, Ming went on his way and Yo got into the luxurious van returning to the office in less than one hour.

Walking into his empty office he looked around missing the presence of Pha. Just when he was about to text him, a text came through, "eat something love, I know you are hungry and I'm happy that you came back to me."

Yo shook his head at Pha's silliness, he was behaving as if Yo ran away then changed his mind halfway and came back. Nonetheless he took his advice to heart and ordered a traditional Thai fried rice from the office's restaurant itself. He ate his lunch wishing that Pha was with him but he knew that Pha needed to attend the conference. Unknown to him, Pha was watching his every actions live via his CCTV cameras. Now he was at ease knowing that Yo was back into his house. He kept one eye on the images in the laptop following Yo's movement and kept one eye on the conference.

His day passed calmly after, there was still no news of Forth's divorce out so the media was slowly quieting down. Yo was learning a lot of things from Pha so he was able to help him properly now. They worked happily together for the rest of the day and by night, it was the same routine. Yo went to sleep with his phone next to him and Pha observed him for a long time before falling asleep.

The next morning Yo woke up all excited and proceeded to prepare his bag. He added some extra shorts and shirts, his swimming trunks and a lot of snacks to eat on the way there. His driver left him in front of the office and he ran to the bus when he spotted Ming waiting for him near it. As soon as he approached Ming started complaining, "they won't let me go Yo! They are saying I'm not a staff."

Yo paused and blinked, then he put a reassuring hand on his shoulder, "don't worry Ming. I will tell them that you are with me, no one can stop you. Come on let's get on."

They got on the bus and Yo chose a perfect place for him and Pha, Ming as expected had already settled himself beside a beautiful, blushing girl. Yo shook his head at him and looked around searching for Pha, where was he? He was about to call him when he saw him walking coolly out of the building, with a designer bag in hand. Yo swallowed painfully as he tried to get in some air in his deprived lungs. He felt his knees weakening at how handsome Pha was looking at that moment. He was simply breath- taking in his shorts and in a simple shirt. It was the first time that he saw him dressed down so casually that he was shocked to discover that Pha even possessed such clothes.

He came down to earth when he heard some of the female workers squealing. He glanced around sharply and noticed that they were openly ogling at him shamelessly. Feeling a rush of jealousy rushing through him he put his bag on the seat and shouted loudly, "don't stare at him like that, he's mine only!"

Everyone quietened in the bus and looked at him in shock, even Ming was surprised at his outburst. Suddenly realising that he let out his burning jealousy, he turned a fiery red. He glanced outside to find Pha's possessive gaze directly on him. Guessing that Pha must have heard his outburst he looked down in embarrassment and bit his lips hard. Peering up a little he noticed that Pha was still staring at him heatedly. Stepping back hesitately from his seat he descended slowly from the bus with everyone's eyes on them. He approached Pha with baby steps until he finally reached him. He was still embarrassed and refused to meet his gaze.

Pha reached out a hand and grabbed his chin. Lifting his head up he stared deep into his eyes and swoop down lighting fast to capture his lips. Cheering and whistles rang out from the bus and from the few outside. Flashes snapped nonstop as the lurking reporters and paparazzi took their pictures. Pha kissed him deeply and for soo long that Yo was starting to feel dizzy. He grabbed hold of Pha's strong arms to prevent himself from turning into a puddle at his feet. Finally Pha released his ravaged and swollen lips, Yo stared at him dazzlingly and melted against his embrace.

"Gosh, that was so sexy. This is the first time I heard you declaring me as yours and I liked it a lot."

Yo nodded still breathless, he was wheezing as if he ran a marathon. Pha smoothed his back and whispered loving nothing to him until he could finally breathe normally again. Realising that everyone was still watching them Yo grabbed his hand to tug him towards the bus, "let's go P'Pha. We can't let the bus wait for long."

Pha glanced at the bus unbelievably then looked back at Yo, "you can't expect me ride that do you?"

"Why? What's wrong with it?"

Pha shook his head in disgust, "that's for the staffs Yo, we got our own ride, let's go."

"Nooo," Yo resisted as Pha attempted to take him with him, "P'Pha, I want to have the full experience and so should you. This is our first time going out with so many people so we let's enjoy it. I know we can't go each year because you are always very busy but we are getting the opportunity now so lets make the most of it."

Pha looked at him with one eyebrow raised as Yo nodded profusely looking back with big eyes. Pha sighed and looked away grimacing, "not these eyes again."

Just then Ming stuck his head out and shouted, "Get on the Yo, the bus might leave you."

Pha scowled darkly at him, "what is he doing here?"

Yo scolded him gently as he wrapped his arms around him, "behave P'Pha, he is my friend and I invited him to come along because we missed a lot of time together."

Pha was still scowling when a charming voice rang out, "don't worry about missing the bus because a second bus will come shortly for my department."

Yo glanced around Pha to find a blindingly handsome Josh flashing his teeth at them. He smiled back instantly and cried out happily, "P'Josh!"

He was going to meet him when a hard hand stopped him and he was brought back to Pha who said roughly, "10 meters distance remember."

Yo frowned at him as Josh laughed out lightly, "I see that you hasn't changed at all cousin."

Pha tightened his arms around Yo and retorted, "why should I?"

Yo sighed as he pushed Pha and stepped back, "I'm getting on the bus, you see if you want to join me or not."

Pha watched him leave then turned to Josh angrily, "now he's angry at me because of you!"

Josh pointed a finger at himself in surprise, "me? But I did nothing. It must be you and your egomaniac personality."

Pha's mouth fell opened in shock, he frowned at him, "since when have you started talking to me like that? Did you forgot who is the oldest here?"

Josh put his hands up in surrender, "don't blame me, I'm only learning from your boyfriend." Pha took a step forward but Josh ran off, laughing loudly. Pha turned back and sighed at the sight of a pouting Yo, he got an angry boyfriend to patch up with. Taking his bag, he reluctantly got in the bus feeling an alien feeling passing through him at the through of sharing a two hours ride with 40 loud people in such close proximity to him. At least he had Yo to concentrate on. Everyone quietened up as he appeared at the entrance.

They stared at him in shock and in disbelief as he made his way to Yo. Pha was never seen before interacting or engaging in any activities with his staffs. To find him suddenly going on an outing and sharing a bus with them was deemed too impossible. He ignored all of them and sat next to his cute boyfriend who refused to acknowledge his presence.

"Baby?" No response.

Pha leaned over and rubbed his nose on his fluffy cheek murmuring, "you smell so good, I'm sorry baby. Forgive me nah? I love you, so so much..."

He descended to his neck and Yo let out an involuntary giggle as Pha tickled him. He pushed his nose away but it only came back. He had to give up in the final, "ok ok. I forgave you, now stop teasing me."

Pha smiled and kissed him softly. Yo accepted his kiss readily and circled his arms around his neck, bringing him down to him. They were so lost into themselves that they didn't realize they were in public. Slowly they began to notice that it was too quiet. They slowly separated and found everyone staring at them open mouthed and some were even taking pictures.

"You love giving them something to gawk at I see." Yo jumped about a foot high at the voice at his ear. He glanced irritatingly at Ming who was leaning so far on his seat that he was nearly falling on him. Pha put out a hand on his face and pushed it backward, "go back to your seat."

Ming settled himself just behind them, "Don't worry Yo. I'm behind you. I won't let you get bored during the ride."

Pha stared at him cold faced while someone else occupied the seat in front of them, "hey cutie pie, I'm here also."

Yo gave a surprised laugh at the sight of Josh as Pha glared at him, "what are you doing here? Don't you have to travel with your department?"

Josh shook his head merrily, "my bus is full since we have more staff than in your department so here I am."

He spread his arms out wide and winked flirtatiously at all the blushing girls. Pha sighed as he put his arm around Yo, he wasn't going to have a peaceful ride between these two. Just then several gasps could be heard and they all looked in front to find another gorgeous man climbing on.

"Ohh god, I guess this is our lucky day."

"I think I just died and went to heaven."

And so one the whispers continued as Forth got on and took the seat beside Pha. Yo opened and closed his mouth at the sight of Forth. He was wearing a chic dark brown shorts and a black shirt, to top it all, he had those dark sunglasses which elevated his beauty to the sky. He glanced around and gave a small nod to Yo who was still gasping at him while Pha looked at him in surprise, "what are you doing here?"

Forth shrugged coolly as several women nearly fainted at the sight, he looked in front and replied in his rugged voice, "I needed a change."

Pha glanced at Yo and found him worshipping Forth with his eyes. He groaned and shifted to block his view with his body. Yo looked up at him curiously when he found himself looking at a delicious and broad chest instead of Forth's face.

"Hey cutie pie, so are you ready to party the night away?" Josh asked as he turned his body to face him. Pha indicated coldly for him to turn back on his seat but at the same time Ming leaned over with a snack, "here, lets share Yo."

Yo couldn't understand in which direction to look, on one side was a flirty Josh and a merry Ming while on the other side was his moody boyfriend and godly Forth.

This excursion was turning out great apparently and this was only the start..

Author's note:

I was thinking of creating an Instagram account and share it with you all🤔🤔. I know it's crazy but I don't have an Instagram because I didn't find the need to have one until now but now that I have so many readers I think it might be a good idea to get connected on a more personal level with you all because I always tend to share tidbits if my personal life here and I'm afraid that some of you might find it annoying.

Regards,
