My Moon, Chapter 27 pg 9
“I’m not letting you ‘have’ anything… I’m not ready yet.”
He said while scooping yogurt from the tub into a pale yellow ceramic bowl. When he looked up at the big puppy, Klai couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Panli was blinking rapidly, staring at him, his black phone slowly slipping from his hand.
“KhunKlai! No way… don’t say naughty stuff like that!”
“Why not?”
“Because it…”
“Because what, my dear?”
Klai asked as he carried the snack bowl to the long sofa. Panli’s eyes didn’t leave him until he plopped down beside him. He bit his lip slightly, looking mischievous, before saying…
“Because it’s gonna mess me up…”
“You will be in worse trouble if you keep focusing on that phone.”
“Feeling jealous?”
“A little.”
Klai answered before taking a spoonful of yogurt. The big puppy laughed, clearly delighted by his response. He flopped down, resting his head on Klai’s lap.
“I love it… love it so much when you’re like this.”
Klai gave a small smile and shook his head before saying, “Wanna try some?”
“Try the food? Try you, or…”
“Yogurt… I’m offering Panli some yogurt.”
“Wow… how’d you get this good? I’m exhausted here, can’t even tease you anymore…” Panli said with a laugh, then continued, “Thought I’d get to taste you on the sofa.”
Klai let go of the spoon and moved his hand to pinch Panli’s sharp nose. He chuckled throatily before grabbing both Klai’s hands with just one of his. Their five fingers intertwined tightly, and then his warm lips brushed the back of Klai’s hand. He gazed deeply into Klai’s eyes before saying…
“Klai… no one can beat you.”
“Because I’m awesome…” he said, knowing it’d make Panli laugh. He didn’t really mean it, though.
Panli burst out laughing before saying, “Does the awesome guy want Li to try some yogurt?”
“Mhm…”
“Then let me have a taste… Can I try it while lying here like this?”
“Sure… but you have to let go of my hand first.”
The person resting on the lap gave a small smile and obediently released his hand. He scooped a tiny bit of yogurt and fed it to Panli. The moment the big puppy took the spoon in his mouth, his thick brows knitted into a frown. Klai couldn’t help but laugh, guessing he didn’t like the taste.
Klai usually only eats Greek yogurt, which tastes different from regular yogurt. The brand he always gets is particularly bland with a slight tang—no sweetness at all. But it’s delicious with granola. Still, almost everyone who tries this kind of yogurt for the first time makes the same face as Panli.
“KhunKlai… is this spoiled?”
Klai laughed heartily, then took the shiny silver spoon in his mouth while looking at the person on his lap. “It’s Greek yogurt. That’s just how it tastes.”
“No way, KhunKlai… I can’t handle this for real.”
Klai tried so hard to stifle his laughter. Since they’ve known each other, he’s never seen Panli give up on anything, no matter how tough it was. Yet, he surrendered so easily to this…
“Is it that bad, Panli?”
“Well… honestly, it’s not so bad that it’s unbearable, but if I had a choice, I wouldn’t eat it…”
Klai held back a laugh before saying, “It’s for your health… It’s good for you, you know.”
He shook his head vigorously, then picked up his phone to mess around.
“…”
“Who’s the puppy talking to?”
“Phii Pi and the business partner at the shop.”
“Oh…”
“I’m not chatting with anyone else.”
“...”
“Love my wife so much… I’d never cheat,” Panli said while texting.
“If you cheat, you might go extinct…”
Yes... Klai knows he’s scary when he gets possessive.
And yes... he’s getting more and more jealous.
“Scared now...” Panli teases.
“Want more?” Klai asks.
“If it’s more yogurt, I’m good... but if it’s more of you, I’m in,” he replies.
Klai laughs, then scoops some yogurt into his mouth. He shifts his gaze from the guy on his lap to the TV, where Panli left a sports channel on. Three anchors are discussing an important match coming up in a few days.
“KhunKlai...”
“Yes?” Klai pulls his eyes from the TV and looks down at the guy chatting on his phone. Moments later, he looks up at Klai.
“I’ve got something to tell you...”
He raises an eyebrow and asks, “What is it?”
“If you find out on your own... I’m dead for sure.”
“...”
“So I’d rather tell you first...”
As Panli sits up straight, Klai quickly sets the yogurt bowl on the coffee table to focus on him. The big puppy stares at him, swallowing hard, before flashing a nervous smile.
“...”
“So, here’s the thing, KhunKlai...
“...”
“When the shop releases a new collection... we have to hire models to shoot promos for it.”
