Hold My Hand

Chapter 4: No regrets

The following days just goes by each one minding their own business, occasionally stealing glances with each other when their paths cross by. They are unable to reason with the emotions they both are feeling at the moment although they are happy and content about their fondness for each other. Do they want to be friends, brothers, lovers or nothing. How would they even know when they don't let each other to be close.

Win decides to take his dogs for his usual after dinner walk in the Lumpini park. Its 8:30 pm and less crowd with just few people who wants enjoy the nightly peace. The park is lit bright with many street lamps and there are few security guards taking rounds to protect the area from any illegal activities. Win sits on the park bench near the artificial lake watching the vast sky and wondering how should he deal with all the overwhelming emotions he feeling right now towards Bright. He notices Bentley barking towards a jogger who is approaching the lake. Win walks to calm Bentley and as the jogger pass through the street lamp, Win's heart skips a beat. It's Bright who is also coincidentally decided to take his night jog in the same park. Bright stops at a distance realising who the man with a radiant face.

"Hey! You jog here too" Bright starts the conversation

"No I am walking my dogs here" Win says with a smile

"Such fur babies they are" Bright bends down to greet Bentley and Cartier.

"Yes they are twins. 9 months old. This Cartier my sweet little girl and this is Bentley, a very naughty and he is a biter. Be careful" Win introduces his babies.

"He seems to be fond of me" Bright smiles

"I wonder why" Win adds playfully.

They both share a glance and smile.

"Hey look I really want to say sorry for my approach the other day" Bright brings up the eventful night

"Hmm...I just want to ask you, do you regret that night happened?" Win locking his eyes with Bright

Approaching closer to Win Bright whispers "Not a single moment" staring at Win's lips. Win pushes himself even closer to Bright's face so they can lock their lips.

Bentley and Cartier barks at the passing by park guards. Bright and Win composes themselves by moving small distance apart.

"Well then it was nice meeting you here. Good night" Bright trying to walk out

"Good night" Win says with a smile

"Hey listen, Are you free this Friday couple of my friends are catching up for drinks would you like to join" Bright turns back and start the conversation again

"Yes sure" Win says with an unsure tone. He never been fond of social gatherings but he didn't wanted to say 'No' for any chance that he might get to be with this person.

"Give me your lineID. I will text you the details" Bright hands over his phone to Win

Win enters his LineID and save it as "Win :)" and handover the phone back to Bright.

They say good bye to each other and head back to their respective homes.

As the Friday evening approaches, Win seem to be excited to go out with Bright. He is unsure of the dress code as he hasn't yet received the exact bar they would be going for drink. Win has always managed to dress appropriately for the occasions. This time he ain't sure. It doesn't matter to him anyways all he wanted is to be close and spend time with his special someone. He wears the first thing he picks up from his closet.

He receives the text from Bright with the venue where are we planning to meet. Since parking is quite difficult there, Bright wanted to pick up Win and ride with him on his bike.
