Pack of condoms he joked

They talked he helped him for a while before returning home. The night was very dark. It was pouring rain. From afar he could see a figure sitting at his door of his apartment when he got close he saw Mhok leaning against the wall, Burried his head between his legs and hugged his knees.
"Hey hey get up, what are you doing here" he asked
"Where have you been? Why didn't you answer my calls" he looked through his pocket and took out his phone. He saw 17 calls he has missed
"I was with a friend. l had my phone on silent" Mhok eyes shown a trace of jealousy
"You mean the guy that you picked up"
It's none you business
Are you going to talk to me outside in the cold" he asked. He watched Tum put his pin to open the door, and let him in.
"Why are you here?"
"Toa want to see you tomorrow and l came for my clothes"
"That's it?. Is there something you want to say to me?" He looked him expectedly
"No" Tum was fuming with rage. He quickly regain his composure.
"What! you came all the way here for that, you could have just called"
"I did. If you've answered l won't be here also the clothes was gift from someone special to me" Every word he alter make him want to slap him. He hurriedly bag it and handed it over to him.
"Here if there's nothing more you can leave" He wanted to say more but he interrupted before he could anything.
"If you didn't hear it the first time I will say it again leave". He picked up his jacket on the couch and left. He walked to his car thinking of a way to stay the night. An idea pop in his head. He locked his keys in his car and walk back to Tum's apartment. A few knocks was placed on the door. He quickly put on a pain expression, "l locked my keys in my car"
"Get a bus or call your girlfriend to bring you a spare key". He snort and locked the door. He could see through this game. He woke up the next morning. He twist and turn he suddenly jumped out of the bed with fear seeing Mhok sleeping in his bed. He smack him with his scandal. He rubbed his knee a few times and went back to sleep.
If you don't get up l will hit you into a different dimension. He got up, rubbing his eyes. He yawned Looking at Tum. Hi he greeted
How did you get in. I watch you put the code in.
"Leave my house."
"I'm hungry no breakfast"
"Get out, leave or l will call the police"
"I'm not leaving without you. Toa want to see you, can l use your bathroom" After They head out to Mhok car
Didn't you say you left your keys in the car. Yes but l always have a spare key. You just did that just to
To what
Nothing. Just stop he exist out of the car and began to towards the entrance of the building
Aranya was in the cafeteria getting coffee when he saw Tum and Mhok come in together she frown, why did they come to work together she thought. Also wasn't he fired. Tum upon arriving headed straight Tao's office, Mhok gave him a wave he ignored him and went it Toa office.
"Why is he back" Mhok almost jumped. "'Aranya! You scared me."
"Why is he back. She asked curiously sipping her coffee.
"Stay here l forgot something l will be right back" he left her and head to his desk. Constantly looking at Toa's office.
"Have a seat" Toa gesture for him to sit. "I checked your project and l liked it. The company is having hard time lately due to the previous projects being leaked. I wanted to hire a new employee but Mhok begged me. He continued what happened was Mhok was on the previous project we invested time and money into but somehow it was leaked. We doubt it's him cause he's been working with us for several years now. To avoid leaking of information you are going to start working from my office also, if you got raped, go find your rapist, one more thing my name is Toa not Hin. Okay sir he nodded. You can start tomorrow He picked up his phone and made a call, a few seconds Mhok walked in Okay so you are going to working with him WAIT WHAT shout Tum
"Is there a problem"
"Noo no"
"You will start working here, in my office. Both of you. If there's nothing else you may leave."
They walked out. It was awkwardly silent until Mhok broke the silent. He held Tum by the wrist he shake it off.
"just because you helped me get my job back means nothing to me. "He walked away before he could say a word. The news of Tum returning to work spread like wildfire.
The next day in Toa office, Tum was busy typing away on his computer. He thought back to the bathroom incident and the awkward moment. Tum, tum, tuum he snapped back to reality.
"Yes Sir." He responded "Coffee" he rushed out. In a few minutes he returns with a cup coffee "There you go" just as he was about to sit he heard his name been called "Tum why is it cold. I want it hot not cold. Here go get me hot coffee." He left and in a few minutes he came back with the hot coffee. He took a sip and spit it out. "No sugar! You should have asked me how l like my coffee" Mhok was fuming. "Sir let me change your coffee for you"
"Noo l want Tum to do it" Tum was furious he could breathe fire through his nostrils. He kept silent for some reason. "How do you want it"
"No sugar just hot coffee" he took the coffee and came in later, he placed it on his desk. "Is there anything else you want me to do" he answered curtly
"Are you done with the documents" he brought over. He took a peek. He flung the documents and shouted "AGAIN!" Why am l even doing this Tum ask himself while he picked up the documents of the floor. A sweat could be seen foaming on his forehead. Mhok seeing that had a pain expression on his face. He worked on it again and brought it back for a check he toss it on the Desk "AGAIN!" Tum felt a lump in his throat. He reminded himself of his medications. He knew his reaction was due to incident that happened at the hospital. He picked them up and began to work on it again. After he was done it was late at night. There was no one in the office. After witnessing what happened today Mhok felt bad for him and also wanted to make up for the things he's done to him. Tum looked over the room and saw it was empty and late.
"Ain't you going to ask me why l stayed" he looked over and saw mhok walking towards him with food.
"I don't care"
"Aww that hurts. I waited for you. You were too busy you forget to eat so l bought you some food"
"Am not hungry" he blocked his route Tum pushed him causing the food to fall.
Why
He ignored him and exit the office and he chased him out. He hugged him. "I like you" just as he was about to answer he heard a familiar voice. "You must be tired" he pushed him away.
"What are you doing here" Tum said puzzled. "I should leave then" he pretend to walked back to his car. "Wait" he smiled and turn back "l came to pick you up silly boo" he stared fixedly at Mhok, with a serious expression. "Are you cheating on me?"
"He's my colleague, Tim meet Mhok"
"It's nice to meet you I'm Mhok" He extended his hand for handshake
"Let's go baby, did you miss me" Tum wrapped his arm around Tim's neck leaving Mhok's hand hanging.
Who is he? Tum glanced back at Mhok and walk away. He had a look of jealousy written all over as he watch them walk to Tims car and drive off
Did he call him baby, wrapped his arm around his neck. Is he his boyfriend?! Did he lie all this while!" so many thoughts rushing through Mhok's head with a look of jealousy that could be seen a mile away.
"Tum what was that about?"
It's nothing.
Who is he?
Someone l seduce turn out he has a girlfriend and they're playing on getting married
And l thought being a play boy was worse. He accidentally voice out his thoughts. Tum stared at him with the corner of his eyes he ask
Did you have a fight with her" he went silent
"My guess was right. What happened?'' he parked the car to the side.
"She broke up with me"
"What did YOU do"
"ME nothing, l found out she is in a relationship with his Ex and I confronted her about it and she broke it off with me" Tum exclaim in shock
"What! He looked at him and there was no trace of sadness on his face. You don't look sad, don't tell me. oh no" Tim grin "how long was this relationship?"
"1week 2days"
"You're such a player. l feel bad for her"
You don't have to feel bad for me (he giggled) do you want to eat at our usual restaurant. "You're paying" He drove off to the restaurant. The next day Tum worked so hard to finishing the documents needed when he heard his name been called. "TUM" yes sir
"Get me coffee"
He nodded and left. Mhok made up an excuse to follow him. Tum saw him approaching and made a fake phone call to avoid him.
"Tum why are you avoiding me?" He held Tum by the hand and he jerk it off. He looked behind to see if he's been watched before going after him. At the cafeteria he brewed two cups of coffee.
"Can make me one"
"What happened to your hands they work just fine right then make it yourself"
Why are you doing this to me. He was ready to lash out his emotions when Boat walked in. Hi on his phone making a call. Mhok pretend not to have an idea of who Tum was, not to raise any suspensions. He took the coffee and walked away.
"Tum wait up!" He chased after him
"What do you want from me" he said coldly
"I just want to talk"
"If it's About work then we can talk, if not then we have nothing to talk to you about"
"I had no idea you had a boyfriend"
"What if l do! what are you going to do about it, nothing exactly. You know, l want you to do me a favor"
Yes sure
Stay one mile away from me" and he walked away
He almost bawl "I'm sorry okay, I'm really sorry for having sex with you whiles drunk. Tum stop in his tracks. I'm sorry for blaming you when it's my fault. I'm really really sorry" Tum walked back to Mhok.
"Are you done"
"Yes" he replied and Tum just walks off
It's really hurts Opening up and getting rejected. When he got to the office Anong Mhok's girlfriend was seated, waiting for him. She hugged him after seeing him. Her face bloom with happiness. She was excited. They began chatting right now.
What are you doing here
I brought you some food made by my mom. She said she's missed you.
"Wait how did you get in"
Oh your boss let me in, he's very kind. Tum stared right at the couple, feeling lots of emotions at once. He has a girlfriend NO a fiancee from the rumors he heard from his colleagues so Why?. What does he want from me. He looks happy with her. He was absent minded. "Hey, Heyy my coffee." He handed him the coffee and took his seat. Tum sneak a look at Mhok as he walks out of the office with his girlfriend. He bit his lips out of nervousness, bouncing his legs up and down. He made an excuse to use the bathroom. Why am l even doing this. He stood outside the door of the room eavesdropping on their conversation.
Aranya: Do you know it's bad to eavesdrop on people conversation?
Tum was startled. "Uhm l... I...was looking for Boat. I will keep looking bye" he walked off to his seat. He kept looking anxiously at the door. Mhok walked in minutes later. He stared at Tum who was busy typing away on his computer. "Am done take a look at it" He nodded his head.
"Give that to Tamas." Why I'm l even doing this. This is sectary work not mine. He submitted the documents and come to pack his stuff. "Are you going out for work.''
"Yes"
"Good l will be coming with you to supervise you." A surprise look flashed across their faces. "Hurry up and get in" when getting in the dump into the car headliner aww. Are you okay? He ignored him. They sat in Toa's car with Mhok at the front seat and Tum at the passager seat. Mhok noticed Tum bouncing his legs nervously. It was not suitable for Tum who suffers from motion sickness. "Hey Tum are you okay"
