“Here, take this.” Bryle hands me a clean towel for me to dry myself off.
We just finished playing around the garden and let me tell you, guys, it was really fun! It is the first time in six months that I got to experience having fun, a real fun again. Ever since my father had a diabetes and got disabled, I’ve never experienced that kind of fun again as I’ve been busy in helping my mom with everything and then four months later, we found out that she’s suffering from cancer so my chance of having the time of my life is getting lower and lower. But today... I never expected to experience it again.
We are currently sitting at a small hut that is located near the swing. We still haven’t gone inside his mansion that I assume is a third storey house. Bryle just summoned someone to get us a towel because I had requested him to let me stay here for a little bit longer. I really love the view of the landscape. I immediately fell in love with it the very first time the enormous gate opened.
I breathe in the smell of lavender scent enveloping the surrounding near the hut. It is so relaxing! I don’t wanna go out from here anymore!
I see Bryle shifting from side to side in my peripheral view so I turn to look at him but I regret it immediately. He is stripping off his wet T-shirt! I blush and look away from the sight of his rock hard abs and flexible muscles.
“Why are you taking off your T-shirt?” I ask without sparing him a glance.
“Because it’s wet?” He answers me innocently that I almost roll my eyes at the back of my head. Idiot! “By the way, it’s almost noon so I suggest that we have our lunch inside the house. I can order the cook to make us something delicious like... Steak. What do you think?” He says and I nod my head in agreement. I’ve never eaten a steak before because when I brought home a steak I would always give it to my parents.
My smile falls when I remember Sean is still in the hospital and is probably waiting for us right now. “Sean?! Oh my gosh!” I hurriedly take out my phone from my bag and dial his number.
After a while, he finally picks up my call. [“Alwin, where the hell are you right now? It’s almost time for our next class, stupid!”] He scolds me and I feel guilty.
I have forgotten about him at all! Oh my gosh! I hope he can forgive me!
“Sean, I’m sorry but I think Bryle and I couldn’t make it there on time as we are still handling something important right here— Hey! Bryle, what are you doing?” I ask when Bryle suddenly grabs my phone from my hold.
“Hey, Sean. Sorry for breaking our promise of picking you up but we are in the middle of something important that we can’t go back there immediately. Don’t worry, I’ll send a ride for you to the university,” Bryle offers and picks up his waterproof cellphone beside him and dials someone. He hands my phone back to me before talking to someone on his phone. “Hello? Mr. Shinawatra? Can you please do me a favor?” He says to the other line, “Ah yes, can you please pick up my brother-in-law from the Bangkok Hospital? He’s in a rush and we couldn’t make it on time there as we are still busy. Please, Mr. Shinawatra?” He stops for a while then continue, “Okay! Thank you, Mr. Shinawatra!” Then he ends the call.
“Sean? Did you hear that? Someone is going to pick you up from there and any minute from now, he’ll be there. Wait for him outside the hospital, okay?” I say to Sean.
[“Okay... What car?”]
I raise a brow at Bryle and he immediately mouths me a ‘Porsche car’. “It’s a Porsche car, Sean.”
I hear him gasps from the other line. [“Really?! Wow! Okay. Tell Bryle thank you and I approve of him already!”] He exclaims before ending our call.
“So, shall we go inside so we can change our wet clothes and also have our lunch?” Bryle offers and I nod my head in excitement.
Steak, here I come!
Once we come inside his house, I am in awe. I don’t know how to describe the whole place. It feels so surreal! Its interior design is very beautiful — from the ceiling down to the floor.
I don’t know what kind of style his house is because I don’t have any ideas about house designs. The gold chandelier is very enormous. The brown sofa is very classic. Bryle even have a sixty inches Smart TV!
I walk towards the kitchen and sees that the black table is very long — well, for me it is as our table can only fit four people — but this table can probably fit at least eight people. I look around and find no one. Where is the cook?
I turn to look at Bryle. “Where is your cook?” I ask him.
“She’s at their quarter at this hour but any minute from now, she’ll be here to cook,” he answers, “Come on, let’s go upstairs to get changed,” he gestures his hand upstairs.

“Wow! Your room is so big and spacious! It’s as big as our whole house!” I exclaim when we arrive inside his room.
His room is really big. His bed could fit five people. He has a sixty inches Smart TV sticking on the wall and a lot of game consoles below it. I even see a PS5! His walk-in closet is very large. He has a laptop and tablet beside his computer. There’s a two types of guitar below his desk — a black electric guitar and a white simple guitar. He knows how to play those guitars?
“Do you want to take a shower or just change?” Bryle brings me back from my reverie.
I look at him and shake my head. “No. I’ll just change my clothes. Thank you.” I say.
“Okay, then choose some clothes yourself. I want to take a shower,” he informs me and directly goes to his bathroom without waiting for my response.
Okay, he shouldn’t care if I choose an expensive T-shirt, right? Well, I bet all his clothing are expensive. I go in the walk-in closet and look around for some simple T-shirt that could fit me. My eyes land on a black and white T-shirt that has a bunny imprinted in the middle of it. I scan its texture and look at its name, Velence. I smile and pick it up from the hanger before looking at the other clothes. Velence, Velence, Velence? Huh? All his clothing brands are Velence? I haven’t seen anything else like Gucci, Prada, or Louis Vuitton. Those types of brands are also very expensive though but why doesn’t he have any of that?
I shake my head and take off my wet T-shirt and change into Bryle’s before searching for a pair of boxers and pants I could pair up with the shirt. After successfully changing my clothes, I go out of the walk-in closet to find a basket I could put my clothes into. I walk around the room when Bryle suddenly comes out of the bathroom with just a towel wrapped around his waist.
My eyes widen and my jaw drops at the sight of his rock hard abs and flexible muscles again. A water is dripping from his hair to his back and chest down to his navel area. I hear him clears his throat so I immediately look up to face him. Oh my gosh! I didn’t know I was staring at his delicio— I mean body!
“I-I... Where is your l-laundry basket?” I ask and force myself to look straight in his eyes but my eyes would still drift back to his abs. Oh my gosh! Alwin, you shameless brat!
If you’re wondering why I keep saying the words ‘oh my gosh’, it’s because that is my expression when I feel like I am at a dead end of something and I couldn’t go back anymore.
He smirks when he sees me staring at his body and immediately steps closer to me. My eyes widen in shock and step back in reflex that makes his smirk grow even more wider.
Oh my gosh!
