Chapter 25

A few days later...
Linh's POV...
It's been a few days since I last saw Nar, and from our last encounter, I remembered he looked quite weird about the whole creepy old man issue. Remembering Minh's statement, as silly as it sounds, I guess it's possible to believe that his unusual behaviour would be the effect from his jealousy. In which till now, I still found the thought to be extra silly.
It's quite weird knowing that he is literally in a relationship with his long-distance girlfriend, but here he is suddenly getting mad at his foreign friend who he just met. But come to think of it, I realized that it's only much more weird that I actually care about his emotional reaction. I mean, I am only concern as a friend, right? At least, that's what I want to believe right now. Somehow, the feeling of knowing that he is probably feeling not ok bothers my heart. Like hearing a voice from a distance of a calling, I feel the urge to actually come up to him and ask him, since texting him isn't always the best solution.
A few hours later....
8:55 PM... 
At Nar's apartment....
Nar's POV...
I continue to dry my hair with the small towel on my hand as I sit on my bed. I thought about checking out my blog after before going to bed. It's been a few days since I last posted a random rant, and it was about the old man who tried to get his chance with that cheeky girl, Linh. Huh, she probably thinks that I'm jealous since I've been giving her the cold shoulders lately. Silly girl, like I even care? I'll say it to myself again, do I even care? Ugh, Nar, you don't care. You're not suppose to care about that silly kid. Yeah right, I have a lot of girls already waiting for me to get them laid. Why would I even bother to care about one girl who's too busy being flirty to an old man who doesn't even look like he consumes enough protein to do a proper deadlift?
I sight. I throw the towel on the left side of my bed. I stood up and walk over to grab my phone from the small desk. Before I could even log in to my blog, I noticed that I already have 3 notifications of new messages, all from one person. I almost thought it was gonna be Linh probably spamming my inbox on how worried she is that I've been acting all cold, but I guess she chose to worry about another guy tonight. The messages I received are all from Lita, my girlfriend. By that, I decided to just give her a call to answer all her messages.
"Hello." I hear her voice tinkles through my phone. 
"Hey. I finished shower. What's up?" I ask her in my casual, chill tone.
"What's up? I thought your phone was on mute and that you fell asleep," Lita states.
"Sorry, I just checked it after I got out of the shower," I say. Much to my so-called dramatic personality, I don't always like to cause a mess with Lita. Why? Literally because my mom likes her and told me several times to just settle down with her, when I still desire to explore the world. Though I could say our relationship is quite peaceful, I wouldn't say that I have the most romantic relationship with her. Though I am happy to say that despite the lack of romance, we seldom argue, and that actually gives me a peaceful feeling.
"Whatever. Anyway, so how's it going there?" Lita asks.
"Good. Everything's nice, and the food is also good," I answer.
"I'm glad to hear that. But well, it seems like your mom is quite worried about you," Lita says. "I think she just misses you too much."
"Yeah well, that's what mothers do. Pim told me about that. I miss her too," I say. Though my mom could be quite controlling at times, I still love her knowing that she is the woman who gave birth to me. Don't get me wrong, I might be an annoying player who women wish they could slap my face with their lips (hahaha, or so I hoped), but deep down, I'm a soft momma's boy.
"What about me?" Lita asks.
"What?" I ask her.
"Don't you miss me or am I the only one who is missing you?" Lita asks, this time not only did her tone sounded playful, but also flirty at the same time.
"Ah, of course I miss you," I say to her, before letting out a chuckle like my casual style.
"Well, that's why I thought that I help her out and look after her little boy," says Lita, with a more playful tone.
"Ah, thanks," I say to her. I wasn't too surprised since I expected my mom to tell Lita about how much she missed. The two of them are quite close. In fact, I see my mom already treating her like her own daughter.
"And by that I mean I thought about visiting you there just to know you're well fed," Lita adds.
"Haha, I'm a grown man who can eat on my own," I say. "Wait what?"
"I'll be visiting Ho Chi Minh for a while. I booked my ticket and I'll arrive this Tuesday evening," Lita says.
Hearing that, my cheesy smile slowly drops like my heart feels like it just got an electric shock. I didn't Lita to say that she'll be visiting me, though I also wouldn't say that it bothers me. I mean, she is my girlfriend. It's normal for her to want to visit her boyfriend, but that just means I'm gonna have a harder time with being the flirtatious person I am in public (at least that's how I love to describe myself). But again, this also means that I wouldn't have much time to write on my blog. And other than that, this also means I would have to decrease my so-called dramatic scenario with Linh. Wait, it's not like she even matters. Why would I care about that annoying skinny little girl?
"Oh, that's cool," I say in a chill tone.
"Well, I hope you could show me a nice place for dinner when I arrive," Lita says. "I've been curious about Vietnamese cuisines since you left."
"Ah, no worries. I know a good place around here," I say.
"Well you better," Lita says before bursting out a small laugh in a playful manner. Despite the fact that can sound a bit like a controller at times, she loves to slip in some chill jokes from time to time, which actually made me feel calm whenever the tension gets awkward.
"Anyway, you better go to bed. It's already late," Lita adds.
"Yeah, you too," I say. "Goodnight, Lita."
"Goodnight, Nar," Lita says before ending the call.
I get up and put my phone back on the small desk. After hearing that Lita will be arrive in Ho Chi Minh on Tuesday, I figured that I might need to reschedule my workouts since I literally need to spend some time with her during the weekends. Thankfully, Lita knows well about my passion of working out, though sometimes she told me that we need to do more activities together as a couple. Yet, Lita isn't quite interested with the whole gym thing. She is more of a yoga girl, in which I'm trying to keep up with. But other than that, again a random thought suddenly passes my mind in the middle of a suppose-to-be peaceful hour. Somehow, I'm quite curious about how Linh will react if she sees my girlfriend, not that I am hoping that she would see us at some points (or maybe I am?). Hahaha, well I don't know about that, but for now, the main thing is to get any thoughts regarding any female out of my head and just head to bed.
To be continue...
