Gulf had looked at the butler differently after the second encounter. The man had been mesmerizing to look at and the scene had not left his head. He hung out in the gym and got springs the rest of the days he had been there.

It was Friday afternoon when he felt frustrated of having not seeing the butler. He was on his way to the lobby to hangout on the front of the hotel hoping to catch a sight of the man when the elevator stopped on the 5th floor and a group of girls came in talking animatedly and so loud. Gulf moved to the side of the elevator to make some space.

On the third floor the elevator stopped again, and Gulf was excited when he saw the man he had been looking for all week stepping in the elevator. He scooted and made space. The man went and stood next to him.

A sweet scent wafted in his nose and he almost moaned. He caught himself as he looked at the man. He was dressed in a fancy suit. There must be an occasion going on for the workers he thought. Gulf was confused though. Looking at the man now he felt different. He screamed authority with the way he was dressed.

The elevator dinged and the man left the ride first. The group of girls came out blocking the way for Gulf who was stretching his neck trying to see where the man had gone.

When he got out, the man was nowhere to be found. He looked in the lobby, but he was gone. He was disappointed. He hung around the lobby some more but still the man did not come back.

That night he went back to the hot spring an hour before they closed it. Hoping and praying to find him there. He got lucky. The man looked like he just got there, and Gulf didn't like that he was wearing shorts today. He was disappointed. They didn't greet a each other even though they acknowledged each other's presence.

The butler went in first. And slowly sunk in the water. Gulf went in next and sat directly opposite the man.

"P yesterday where did you go?" he asked innocently in a draggy voice.

"I had a meeting."

"Aah" Gulf said nodding his head.

"Do you like being in here?" Gulf asked again

"Yes, I do." The man answered.

"I need you to answer me honestly p"

The man looked at Gulf.

"Last time in my room, did you get a boner?"

The butler looked away.

"You have to answer me honestly."

"So, what if I did?"

Gulf was shy. He looked at the man who was staring back at him. "I got a boner the last time we talked." He confessed.

The butler looked away.

"I know it's illegal, but do you want me as much as I want you?"

The butler got up to leave not wanting to be part of the conversation.

"stop please stop" Gulf called out in a desperate voice.

The man stopped his back turned to Gulf.

"last time I looked for you I couldn't find you. Please stay" Gulf pleaded as he got up too. He started to slowly approach the man.

"I'm glad I found you here I've been looking for you all week and you were no where to be found." He finished as he was standing behind the man. Heart beating frantically.

"p'" He called out

His hand reached out and softly touched the man's shoulder.

"p', please"

The man turned around and faced the young boy.

"what do you want?"

Gulf opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He didn't know what he wanted. He just wanted to be in his presence. To bask in his stare. To look him up and smell his sweet scent.

"I want to see you"

"you saw me just now"

"it's not enough" Gulf started playing with water.

The butler raised Gulf's head and he looked at the man's face

"enough?"

"no p' stay longer after 30 mins if you want to go you can go just let me see you"

The man had nothing scheduled for the night anyway. He reluctantly agreed as he sat down in the water. Gulf was relived. He went back to his seat.

The room went quiet again. The scenery was pretty. The sky was clear, stars shining brightly in the dark night. Gulf wished he were a painter so he could paint the scene before him. It was simply perfect, and he opted to paint it in his head.

After a few mins of stare down between the two. Gulf got up from sitting and swam to the man who just looked at the teen approaching. Gulf opened the man's legs and stood in between.

"whatever you want to do or you're thinking please stop."

"why. You look at me the way I look at you. Why should I stop?"

"I told you this is illegal"

"because I'm under age?"

"its good that you know"

"is that the only reason?" Gulf prodded

The man looked away.

"then why are you not pushing me away?"

The man looked at Gulf.

"you talk with your eyes a lot. I wish that would change." He stated as his hand got out from the water and stroked the man's cheeks.

"please stop" The butler muttered as he shied away from the boy's touch

"if you don't want me to be doing this just push me away"

"I don't want to touch you that's why"

"but I want you to" the boy said boldly as he stole a kiss from the man who was startled. He sprang up and got out of the water.

"p" Gulf called panicked

"you want to get me in trouble?" the man raised his voice.

"you didn't do anything it was all me"

"still you're not supposed to do that"

"but p' you want me too"

"no, I don't"

"p' stop lying"

"later. When you're old enough. Not now."

They all went quiet to calm down. Gulf spoke up first.

"p' the next time we meet don't reject me"

"that is if we ever meet again"

"will you tell me you name then?"

"we'll see" the man walked out of the room and Gulf was left not content. He wanted more. The man was bringing out emotions and feelings he had never felt in his life.

It was Saturday morning that they were packing, and Gulf took the Hotel brochure that was in the room and packed it in his bag. They checked out and when they were in the lobby Gulf saw Chinda and recognized her.

"hi, I would like to ask the name of the butler that helped us with our checking in the day we got here"

Chinda knew who the boy was talking about. It was the day they all got in trouble.  Her head tilted to side in confusion. Butler?

"I'm sorry, the person who assisted you with your luggage is not a butler"

"he is not?"

"yes, he is the owner's son"

"whaaaat"

"His name is Mew Suppasit. His mother went away to another city and left the hotel in his hands. Technically he is the owner of the hotel" Chinda gloated as she did a show-off with their boss.

Gulf was amazed. It made sense why he felt authority oozing from the man. Mew. He smiled. He couldn't go without learning his name. It felt wrong. He turned around and walked out of the hotel.

"Mew Suppasit" he whispered.

He was going to come back for him.
