Love In The Air

Chapter 6 Continued

While Sky was plotting his escape, Rain was trying to hatch an escape plan of his own. “LET ME GO!” He cried out. “Let me go, Phi Payu.” Everything had happened so quickly that Rain didn’t have time to comprehend what was happening. Before he knew it, he was hoisted onto Payu’s shoulder again and put inside a big car. As if things weren’t scary enough, he saw the huge house that they were arriving in was empty, silent and very spooky to Rain. He looked around wide eyed, both of his hands against his chest where he could feel his heart hammering trying to get out of his body.

Payu killed the car engine and got out before Rain could even react to where they were. The huge man got out of the car and pulled Rain’s arms and hoisted him over his shoulders as if he were a sack of potatoes. This time it made Rain scream out. Rain was beginning to feel light-headed. He had spent the better part of the last hour upside down. “I am telling you let me go”, he demanded.

SLAP!

“Ouch!”

Rain cried out in pain. Payu didn’t respond and spanked Rain again on his rounded bottom until it hurt. “Ever since I was born”, Rain’s inner monologue started to scream. “NOT EVEN MY PARENTS SPANKED ME ON THE ASS!”

He took a deep breath. “Let me go”, Rain protested. “How dare you hit me? Come on, I am begging.”

SLAP!

“Ouch”

He cried out as Payu slapped him on the other side. Tears began to fill his eyes. The tears came as a mixture of pain and humiliation. “Phi Payu” Rain shouted out in anger.

“Do you want more?” Phi Payu asked him. Payu noticed that Rain was beginning to sob. Rain didn’t dare cry out loud in fear of Payu; he didn’t dare move his body because he was numb. All he could do was hold on tightly to the lapel of Payu’s shirt. Payu was furious and Rain knew it. This wasn’t a joke anymore. Payu looked like he could commit murder and that terrified Rain. The senior approached the door, put his finger on the lock and kicked the door open. He slammed it quickly, not wasting any time between the two, he felt Rain shiver on his shoulder. He didn’t feel sorry for him, shivering out of fear. He had to teach him a lesson. What happened at the race track could not be taken lightly and he had to make sure that he knew that. Rain could only lie and wait for

Payu to put him down as they moved to the second floor. Rain was nervous because Payu was moving around the house without turning on any of the lights. They walked into the bedroom and Payu threw Rain onto the bed. Rain cried out again. It wasn’t the pain of being thrown on the bed, it was the sheer force he was thrown with. He didn’t have any strength that he could defend himself with, he was hurting too much. Payu walked to the light switch and slammed his fist on it,illuminating the room. Rain had to cover his eyes to shield them from the bright lights and he squinted to adjust. The mixture of emotions running through Rain had him biting his lips until it made him feel better. The pain, shame and anger all flew at him all at once and he was unsure how to handle it. How dare you do this to me? That is what he wanted to yell and scream at Payu, but the words were swallowed back into his throat.

The Phi Payu he knew was always smiling or smirking at him, but the person in front of him was so intimidating and frightening to behold. The fire in his system was churning and anyone could have seen it. Payu crossed his arms and stared at Rain, daring him to do something that would cause him to lose his cool completely. The six-foot2-inch man was making Rain feel so tiny that he swore even his shadow trembled at the sight of Payu. It didn’t help that Payu wasn’t speaking. He stood in silence, which made him more nervous. He felt the goose bumps run across his whole body. He didn’t dare make a noise; every second felt like hell.

Payu could see that Rain was shivering; pity began to make its way into Payu’s heart. All Rain could do was sit and try to figure out a way to repair the damage he had caused. What should I do? He asked himself. The anger Rain felt slowly turned into remorse. He had never intended to cause any problems or trouble but everything turned badly so quickly. “Phi Payu....” Rain muttered.

“Do you know what you did?” Payu’s voice was low and Rain couldn’t help but think that he was trying to suppress his anger and displeasure, which made the fear in Rain deepen.

“I....” Rain stuttered. “I...”

“If I had been there, do you know what would have happened?” Payu asked.

“I am sorry” Rain apologised, hoping that Payu would soften slightly.

“I don’t need your apology”, Payu snapped. “I am asking you a question! Answerme first.” Rain was startled at the loud boom Payu’s voice held. He swore even the room shuddered in fear. Rain knew this wasn’t bad luck but something else. He moved back against the headboard, scared that Payu would strike him again. Rain couldn’t find the words to answer him. He

just sat in silence. “Do you want to destroy your future?” Payu asked him.

“Huh?” Rain looked confused. He tried to look into Payu’s eyes but got so intimidated that he quickly looked away.

“I don’t know where and how you got the information about the race today, but did you think about the power behind these events?” Payu told him coldly. “The power to block an entire road on the highway! The gathering of the rich and elite, even the police are scared to intervene” Rain shivered infright. Even the police, he repeated in his head. “The person behind all this is so terrifying that the stories could make a grown man have nightmares. Do you even realise the consequences of your actions?” Payu took a deep breath; he had to make sure Rain didn’t pull a stunt like that again.

“Removing a reckless goofy kid like you isn’t hard for them at all.” Rain turned cold; his head lowered, looking at his trembling hands. His eyes began to drip slowly; he was trying to figure out how he felt. “Why don’t you grow up?” Payu was trying to hold his temper but could feel himself losing it. “Crying and begging for your parents' help won’t fix things, getting down on your knees and begging them would not even phase them.”

He knew he had lost his temper completely now. “THEY WOULD BURN YOU ALIVE!” Payu screamed. Rain didn’t want to cry anymore, but the roar of Payu’s deep voice kept echoing around them.

“Huh uh” Rain muttered, unsure how to calm his senior down.

“Don’t cry” Payu told him as Rain wiped the tears away from his cheek, but they kept flowing. Rain kept telling himself he didn’t want to cry anymore, but couldn’t stop the tears from falling. He didn’t know why he was crying either. Was it insult, frustration or the disappointment that was littered in Payu’s voice?

“I just....” Rain said timidly. “I just wanted to.... get back at you....”he looked up through his eye lashes before finishing the sentence. “For teasing me that way so I....I” Rain couldn’t help but stammer every word.

“Stupid!” Payu barked. Rain may have been mischievous, but he had never done anything bad or evil. He had never been scolded like this before. The tears kept falling like a leaking tap. Payu walked over and bent down in front of Rain.

“Next time, use your brain and think before you act.” He told Rain, his voice softened. Rain clutched at the blanket as Payu continued to lecture him. “You are old enough to know what is wrong and what is right.” Payu said. He stood up and walked out of the room. He had to go and cool down.Rain was left sitting on the bed not knowing what to do or how to react. What was actually happening? What he didn’t know was that Payu had to call Phi Pakin to beg for forgiveness and hope that Pakin would not seek any

follow up punishments for himself or Rain. Payu shuddered when he thought of what would have happened if he hadn’t been there. Rain would have been taken away and what would they have done to him before reporting it to their boss?

After Payu managed to convince Pakin that he would deal with Rain, he walked back into the room and saw Rain sitting on the bed. “Sleep” he demanded. He could hear Rain sniffling and turned to look at him. His eyes were bloodshot and his mouth was still quivering. His nose and cheeks flushed red from where he had been rubbing the tears away.

“Stupid,stupid, stupid, stupid,” Payu frowned as Rain mumbled. Payu turned to look at him, refusing to take his eyes off Rain. He could see Rain was still crying, but Payu could see that Rain’s eyes were fixed on something and he could determine what that meant. “You keep calling me stupid.” Rain told Payu through the quivered breath. “Yes, I know I can be foolish at times. for not doing things correctly or acting before I think, but I don’t have the brains to think what is right and wrong. I am just a stupid

child. Just like you said.” Rain cried out loudly and swiped at his face again as the tears fell. He got up and stood on the bed and unexpectedly grabbed Payu’s shirt and pressed his lips down onto Payu’s.

“Just you wait” Rain told Payu. “I will make you fall in love with me so badly that you won’t dare to call me stupid again.” Rain was determined he would make Phi Payu fall for him, he was determined to make the person that thought he was the smartest in the room fall for the person who, he thought, was the dumbest. Rain couldn’t help but feel a small inkling of victory, because it made Payu so surprised that he wasn’t able to react. Rain kissed Payu again, but this time he was bolder with his decision. He crushed Payu’s lips until he drew blood. He backed away after he felt the warm liquid ooze from Payu.

“Ahhh” Before he had time to react or fight back, Payu grabbed the back of his neck and felt those fiery lips against his again. Payu sucked on Rain’s red plump lips until he gasped, giving him access to his mouth. Payu moved his tongue into Rain’s mouth, massaging his tongue with his own. Rain tried to push away his senior but he was unfazed even after he hit his chest to release himself. He pulled Rain closer to him, the s****l tension so thick in the air that Rain could hardly breathe. Rain cried out, giving him more access, and Payu’s tongue slid in and started to glide along Rain’s. Rain’s heart was bounding and Payu could sense the change

from upset to arousal. When Payu was satisfied, he pulled away admiring the swelling that was left behind.

“Then I will wait and see” Payu smiled. Payu released his hand from behind Rain’s neck, who immediately fell onto the soft mattress. Rain was flushed, flustered and turned on. His eyes now bloodshot for a different reason and the rosiness in his cheeks and lips were there again for a different reason. “Action speaks louder than words” Payu whispered into Rain’s ear. “Do as you say.”

Payu rubbed his lips with his fingers, licking the blood while looking at Rain with his sharp intimidating eyes. He walked out of the room, closing the door as he left.

Rain was astounded. He was shaken to his core. His heart was thumping against his chest, the scarlet colour his whole body was turning brought his body temperature up and he swore you could hear blood pulsing around his body at a million miles an hour. He wiped his mouth and threw his head onto the pillow, while covering his head with another one. “AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH” He

was embarrassed and hurt at the same time. He knew that Payu had clearly won this round with a sweeping victory and that annoyed him.

The victor on the other hand, stood at the other side of the bedroom door struggling to contain his laughter. All he wanted to do was teach Rain a lesson; he didn’t want Rain putting himself in danger like that again. Who would have expected this turn of events though? Because he didn’t. Who could have guessed that Rain was leading himself in the direction that Payu wanted?

“Will you make me fall in love with you?” Payu laughed as he rubbed his neck in amusement. The picture of Rain’s flushed face after they had kissed had him reeling. He clearly had gone past his limit with that kiss and he was even determined to fight more. Payu had always had a weakness for younger men. He tried to fight the urges and had almost succeeded, but ever since meeting Rain he was struggling more and more with the urges he felt for Rain. The more he saw Rain’s stubbornness, his

bloodshot eyes, the flushed cheeks and the plump lips that had captured his heart, he wanted more. Payu looked down to find his hands were trembling; he clenched them to try and hide it. He wasn’t feeling guilty about making Rain cry because he, in fact, wanted to crush him until he couldn’t take it anymore. “Don’t rush it Payu” he told himself, attempting to calm himself down. He had to take things slowly, especially since Rain had just declared to claim him and his heart. Their story had just begun. Payu

made his way to the spare room. Tonight, I will let you rest, but I am going to wait and see the action that Rain is going to take, he told himself while the corners of his lips turned up. He prayed for the next morning to come quickly.
