Chapter 30: Moving out/2nd chance
After the Panu's party was over, Sit went over to DiscoNites Club to see Mark. He wanted to drink some more, still heated seeing Sai & Panu close together.
Sit takes a shot of vodka, then another, & then ask the bartender for the whole bottle of vodka.
Mark just looks at his friend with amazement.
"Why are you drinking so much? The only time you drink is if you got girl problem so what is it now?" Mark asks.
"Stupid Saiphon... stupid Panu..." Sit whispers.
"Saiphon? Panu? What is going on?" Mark ask still confuse.
"Sai-glok's trying to make me jealous by flirting with the new VP. I think she's sleeping with him, how else would the two be so close!" he shouts.
"& you're mad because...?" Mark gives him a weird look.
"She's trying to make me jealous!" Sit drinks from the bottle of vodka, feeling the vodka burn in his throat.
Mark laughs, "Ohhh... I get it now... you are jealous that Sai finally found another love interest.."
Sit slams the bottle down & looks at Mark, "Jealous?? Are you crazy?? Why would i be jealous!? She's nothing but a stuck up hi-so bitch!"
"Then why are you so heated over her...? Why does it matter so much who she's dating or sleeping with? It must matter to you because you're drinking so damn much! the last time you drank like this was because of May & now you're drinking because of Sai... why don't you just admit to yourself that you like Sai then you can mend things with her. Who knows, maybe she still have feelings for you. & it doesn't make sense to get drunk, like i told you before, it doesn't solve anything." Taking the bottle away from Sit.
Sit turns away, pretending not to listen, although he heard every word Mark said.
"Please... I don't like her... I already told you, i can't never like her... she's not my type..." Sit said trying to find an answer for Mark.
"Not your type...?" Mark laughs, "are you kidding me? So what is your type then?"
"Smart, funny, beautiful inside & out, caring, loving, understanding..." Sit said grabbing the bottle from Mark.
"From what you're describing to me, it sounds exactly like the Saiphon we knew in high school..." Mark rubs his chin.
Sit frooze thinking about the Saiphon in high school, dorky & clumsy. "what are you crazy? Saiphon in high school was none of the things i mentioned."
"Look, Sai graduated from our high school with the highest grades, she was the number 1 student who got nothing but A's. Sai was funny... well she did funny things... She might have been a dork but i honestly thought she was beautiful inside & out... just in a dorky way that is. She was caring because she was always worried about your grades & she always helped your homework, or actually she'd do your homework. She was a loving person to you because she'd worry about you whenever you weren't at school, she'd check up on you to see if you're doing alright, understanding because no matter how much of an ass you were to you, she understood why you treated her the way you did but she still tried to befriend you. Now tell me how she doesn't fit your type?" Mark puts his hands to his hips.
Sit looks down at the table, just thinking about Sai & the things he's done to her,
"That... that doesn't mean anything... now & back then are different Mark... we're in the present... & now she's a total bitch who's full of herself."
Mark let out a sigh, "you just don't get it. You'll regret one day man, i'm telling you. Saiphon might not be as bad as you think..." Mark shakes his head.
"& how do you know? Are you messing with her too??" Sit snaps back at him.
"Noo! but i'm saying, you haven't took the time to get to know her so for you to just judge her like that, it's unfair. I think deep down you really like her, but you're just afraid to admit it..." Mark said.
Sit just sat down, now drinking a beer, trying not to listen to Mark speak.
"Just think about it Sit..." Mark pats Sit on the back, "if you need me i'll be upstairs in the VIP room." He disappears up the stairs.
"...I think deep down you really like her, but you're just afraid to admit it..." Mark's words replayed over in Sit's mind.
---------------------
Sai woke up to the movement of Panu. She looked at her phone, it read 6:05 a.m. She quickly got up & got dress.
"Saiphon, where are you going?" Panu ask rubbing his eyes, "its 6 in the morning."
"Exactly! it's 6 in the morning! I got to go home before my mom start calling the police on you!" She hurry up & fix her hair.
Panu almost forgot about her parents, he quickly got dress too, not wanting any problems with her parents.
"okay, are you ready?" Panu ask smiling at her.
Sai nods & they walk out to the car. They arrived at Sai's house at 6:30, Sai gave Panu a kiss on the lips, "Last night was amazing... i had a great time..." she smiles.
Panu chuckles, "it was... I had a great time too..."
"Until next time, i got to go..." she gets out of the car & waves to him as he drives off.
The lights were still off & Sai let out a big sigh of relief. She slowly creeped into the house, trying not to make a sound. Then one of the servant came into the living room, Sai ducks behind the sofa.
The servant looks around the living room but didn't see anyone & left.
Sai watches as the servant leaves the room & sai slowly went up the stairs & into the room. Once inside, she was safe, she got away with it again, feeling so relieved & happy.
She lays in her bed, thinking about the hours spend with Panu. She was so happy he was her first. She quickly got up & went to wash her face & got into bed, she was so exhausted.
---------------------------------
The next few weeks, Sai & Panu kept their relationship a secret. They dined out, went to the movies, had pinics at the beach, & he even took her dancing, & whenever people asked if they were dating, they would tell it them, it was business related. Sai kept the secret from her parents. Her parents never questioned her because they felt she was mature & grown enough to make her own decision. She wanted to tell her parents soon though because Sai was falling for Panu & she wanted her parents to know.
Sai was tired of sneaking in the house late at night [those were the nights she would spend at Panu's house], so she decided she wanted to buy a condo for herself.
"You want to buy a condo?" Her mom asks Sai.
Sai nods her head & smiles, "yes mom, i want to be able to live on my own & pay for things on my own. I love the both of you but i want to be able to experience life in the real world!" Sai threw her hands in the air with excitement.
"Well... I don't know Sai... Are you sure you want to? I mean, i don't want my only daughter to be out there living by herself." her dad asked.
"Mom, Dad! I'll be fine. I promise, I found this really nice condo! it's fairly cheap & it's filled with security so i'll be fine!"
"Well... i don't know... you're a girl, sweetie, do you think you'll be able to handle the real life out there?" her mom questioned her.
"Of course mom! I did live in London by myself & i had to work out there! if i can handle the life out there then i can handle the life out here!" Sai responded so sure of herself.
"okay.. you do have a point.... sure why not? but we have to check it out to see if it's really safe." sai's dad replied.
Sai jumps up with excitement & gives her parents a hug & a kiss.
Later that day, her parents went with her to check out the condo & it was better than what they had expected. They gave it an okay & sai bought the condo, so excited to know that she has a place of her own.
She finally didn't have to sneak in the house & she didn't have to hide from anyone, she can bring Panu over to the condo now with no more interruptions.
--------------------------------
At work the next day
Sai & Panu were talking in the break room [it was just them two].
"Can you believe i finally got my own place!?" Sai said to Panu with excitement.
"That's great! now i don't have to worry about taking you home late from our 'little meetings'. I can spend the nights whenever i want to...." he said to her, moving closer, leaning & giving her a kiss on the lips.
Sai smiles, "yes... no more interruptions & no more worrying about my parents finding out..." she puts her arms around him.
Just then, Sit walks by & sees them kissing. He hides behind the door, so he wouldn't get caught. He watchs the two of them, still in shock at what he had seen.
"You can come by tonight if you like..." Sai said to Panu.
"Indeed i will..." Panu chuckles.
Sit turns around & walks away feeling his face boil, "so she is sleeping with the VP... what a slut..." he walks into his office, clinching his fist.
Once inside the office, he knocks everything off his desk. The image of Sai & Panu kissing stuck in his mind.
"What the hell!? Why am i thinking of you?! Stupid Sai..." he flops in his chair & puts his hand on his head.
knock knock.
"uh.. come in.."
It was Jane standing by the door. "Whoa... what happen here Sithra, it looks like something attacked you..."
"oh .. uh.. it's nothing... did you need something?" Sit asks.
"Oh no, i don't... but someone's here to see you." Jane moved out of the door way & May walks in.
"Hi, Sithra..." May said nervously walking into his office.
Sithra's face turned into a frown.
Jane excuse herself & left, closing the door behind her.
"What do you want May?" Sit asked.
"I just wanted to see how you're doing... Mark told me you worked here... so i decided to stop by & see if you wanted to have lunch..." May said with a smile.
"Look, i don't have time for your little games, why don't you go have dinner with Wiwat, your new boyfriend. the doors right there, you can leave now." Sit cleans the mess he made.
"Sit... I'm really sorry... i didn't mean to hurt you... it's just that you've been away for so long & i didn't know if you were ever gonna come back & I was lonely. Wiwat was here to comfort me as a friend but then it turned into something more. I didn't mean for it to be like this. I really do still love you Sithra. I do." May started to cry now.
Sit shook his head, "look you can stop your crying now. It's not gonna work on me..."
May drop to her knees & begs, "Sithra, please... forgive me... the last few months i've been miserable without you... I can't eat, i can't sleep, i don't know if i'm gonna be able to move on. I love you Sithra, you're my everything... Sithra please give me another chance, i promise you i won't do it again.... Sithra please..." she cries harder.
Sit looks at her, something in her voice, made him believe her. He helps her up & wipes her tears away... "you don't have to cry anymore May... I won't leave you. We can work things out ..." Sit kisses her on the forehead.
knock knock.
The door opens, "Here are the folders from Panu, he wants you to --" Sai stops & midway into the room. In front of her, a girl hugging Sithra.
"Oh.. sorry i didn't know you were busy."
"oh uh. it's okay..." Sit said stepping away from May.
"I just wanted to give you these from Panu, he wants you to look over them & give it to me by 2:00" she hands him the folder.
May gives Sit a jealous look as if to say, 'who's the bitch?'.
"Wait... you're May... Sithra's ex-girlfriend..." Sai said folding her arms.
"Sithra's girlfriend, correction... we just got back." May replied giving Sai a dirty look.
"what!? May & Sithra are back together again?!" Sai felt her heart drop to her stomach.
"oh is that right?" Sai asks staring at Sit & then turns to May, "So how are you doing May? I haven't seen you since our senior graduation..." Sai smiles at May.
"&... exactly who are you...?" May cross her arms.
"You don't remember me...? oh you gotta!" Sai chuckles, "Saiphon..."
May's mouth drop, surprise to see the new Saiphon looks totally different.
"Sai..Saii.. Saiphon??" May looks up & down at Sai.
Sai nodded her head, "yes.. you remember me right.. when you humiliated me in front of your friends & your boyfriend" Sai points to Sit, "Must have been fun kicking my ass & embarrassing me huh? Well i'll tell you what..." moving in closer to May, "i'm a different person today then i was in high school... I use to be scared of you back then but now if you ever want to fight me again, bring it... because i'm not scared of you... you little bitch..." Sai takes a step closer to May.
May steps back, "why you little--" she raise her hand getting ready to slap Sai.
"oh i wouldn't do that if i were you..." Sai waves her finger at her, "you don't want your little boyfriend to get fired now would you..?" Sai looks at Sithra.
"Sithra, why didn't you tell me you were working for her?!" she whispers.
Sai leans in closer to May, "keep a good lookout for your boyfriend... I can & i might snatch him up at any minute..." Sai whispers in May's ear.
May balled her fist up, her temperature was boiling.
Sai moves in closer to Sithra & puts her arms around him, leans in & gives him a kiss on the lips.
Sit's eyes widen, surprise by the kiss & caught off guard.
Sai steps back, looking at Sit then turning to May. She leans in & whispers in May's ear, " you better watch out for your man... i'm gonna make him fall for me..." she turns around & walks towards the door, turns around & gives Sithra a wink.
After Sai left, May turns around to Sit, "what the hell?! are you messing with Saiphon now?!"
"what..? no... i'm not!" Sithra was still in shock but yet the kiss made him feel something he hasn't felt before & he liked it.
Sai storms off to her office, still surprise that he had kissed Sithra on the lips, even more surprise that him & May got back together.
"I hate you Sithra... but why am i still thinking about you... i shouldn't be thinking about you, i have Panu now." Sai touched her lips, remembering the kiss she gave Sithra, she smiled at the thought, actually happy that she kissed Sithra.
