BEDAZZLED SLOWLY BY YOU

CHAPTER 9

Jaxion can't move.

Who the heck is this octopus with ten legs tightly holding him down making him unable to move any limbs of his body?

Jaxion's sleepy mind slowly cleared up as he gets a grasp of what is happening.

He cringed his neck to the side and saw a spring roll that grew arms and legs and attached to his body like a leech. Jaxion has to question himself how Good can breathe inside his cocoon.

He tried wiggling away but Good wouldn't budge.

He moves his body to wake the sleeping like a dead person Good but still not working.

"Good..."

"Good..."

"Good!!, are you going to wake up and let me go or I will throw you out in the ocean?." Jaxion said loudly.

His heart almost jumps out of his chest when Good suddenly sit up and stared into space. He is not moving. He is just sitting frozen while his eyes are looking at nothing without even blinking.

Jaxion ignored him as he entered his bathroom and do his business. He took a shower and after thirty minutes he comes out with just a towel wrapped around his waist.

He stopped on his track when he saw Good still in the same position as for how he left him.

"Are you still asleep?." He asked. This guy's weirdness is on another level.

Good turn his head in a super slow manner and looked straight at Jaxion then stared at him like he is something not so interesting to look at.

That's insulting, damn it!

"I know I'm hot but I don't appreciate you staring at me like that," Jaxion said and proceed to get something to wear.

"But it's cold," Good said before Jaxion can make another step.

"Huh?."

"You said, you are hot."

Ax frowned, so? What is the connection between him being hot to the cold room? He wanted to yell in frustration when he realized what Good meant.

He walked closer to bed with his almost naked self. "What I'm referring to is this." He points at his body proudly. "This is what I'm saying that is hot."

Good's eyes that are focused on his face slowly dragged down to his chest and his stomach making him immensely uncomfortable.

Good's hand appeared from his cocoon of blankets and goes directly to Jaxion's chest. Good's palm stayed flat in there before he retracted it then touch his chest.

"I am hot, you are cold." Good told the dumbfounded Jaxion.

Who let this knucklehead out in the open when God spread all the dumbness in the world and made him catch it all.

"It's too effing early for this Good, get up and wash up! We are eating breakfast!" Jaxion snapped.

I'll be losing my confidence if I will listen more to you!

Jaxion chooses what to wear in a bad mood.

That doofus!

He was done after some time and he is too tempted to leave Good but in the short while that he was with Good, he'd learn that the dummy can get lost with just a few steps and blame anything else for that matter.

After forever the main event comes out of the bathroom wearing the white robe.

He goes to the closet and gawks at his clothes inside.

"When are you going to stop wearing my clothes? Can't you see they are eating you?." Jaxion cursed silently when he remembered that he sent good's clothes to the laundry but it's still not back. What's taking it so long anyway?

"I'll go out like this?." Good turn to Jaxion then glance to his body.

Ax closed his eyes and took a deep breath willing himself to calm down.

Breath Ax, breath... Remember you are an adult... A mature businessman that can handle every situation...

"Are you praying?." Good asked when he noticed Jaxion's with his eyes closed and hands clasps together in front of him.

"Just get change!." The just found peace jumped out the window like bubbles against the air.

Good shrugged and decided to mess up the neatly hanging clothes. Jaxion looked away trying to turn a blind eye on Good's clumsiness. This i***t is hopeless. How can he live on his own?!

After ten years the two manage to get out of the room to have breakfast. Good is following behind Jaxion while looking around. The resort is full of guests today and the beach has many groups doing different things.

Good who is not looking on his way tripped over a small rock and bumped into Jaxion's back.

"I will not be surprised if one of these days you will c***k your head open because of how clumsy you are." Ax reprimands Good.

"No, I won't... It's the rock's fault."

"So, you are expecting the rock to jump out of the way?." Jaxion asked in sarcasm.

"No, it doesn't have legs."

He is right...

Jaxion's face darkened even more. Why everything that he says to this person, comes back to punch him on the face every single time?

"I forbid you to speak," Jaxion said as he walks fast not bothering to check if the dummy is following him.

Good, like a shadow, followed Jaxion silently.

He is thinking about what he said wrong for his boss' gloomy expression.

Maybe he is constipated?

Maybe that's it!

When their food was served, Good stared at it like it will grow wings and will try to fly away.

"Stop staring at it and just eat!." Jaxion snapped impatiently.

The two eat in silence like their table is at war with how nobody is talking. Jaxion is trying to handle himself not to comment for he might lose it at the end.

"Can I work now?." Good asked while eating ice cream. Who eats ice cream this early?

"You don't have to, we will be going back to Bangkok the day after tomorrow anyway," Jaxion replied as he finished his coffee.

"I'm sad."

Jaxion stared at Good who has his elbow propped up at the tabletop with his chin rested against his palm while still eating the cold treat.

"You mean, bored?."

"It's the same."

"No, it's a different thing."

"Okay."

Ax looked up the ceiling as he breathes out.

Calm down Ax...

"Are you sick?."

Jaxion looked at Good in puzzlement. "Why?." He forced himself to asked even though he can already tell that there will a ridiculous answer.

"Because you looked sick."

"Oh yes, ever since I met you, unfortunately, I've been sick and poor me! There's no medicine available over the counter." Jaxion answered. His voice is dripping with sarcasm.

"Ah, maybe that's cancer."

Ax wheezes painfully when he chokes on the coffee he's drinking. With tears forming in his eyes, Jaxion blindly looked for the glass of water and greedily drink it all in one go while fully aware of all the eyes their way.

Ax pulled out his wallet dropped bills on their table and turn to leave. Good just sat there unmoving not even looking bothered at all.

Jaxion came back not a minute after and pull Good away who refused to let go of the bowl of ice cream. Jaxion glared at the restaurant manager that is about to open his mouth about the dessert container that is not for takeouts.

Good clumsily tried matching Jaxion's steps while spooning his Ice cream.

"Stop eating that!." Jaxion loses his patience as he is about to snatch it but Good hugs it tightly as if it's something precious.

Jaxion ripped open his shirt not even bothering on unbuttoning it, kicked off his shoes, and run into the water that is just a few feet from they were standing. He stayed underwater until his lungs are about to explode, repeating the cycle over and over again.

Good who is unaffected by Jaxion's sudden action sat down on the sand with his unlimited ice cream waiting for his boss to come out of the water.



(Me: can I lick that)



(Good: ew

Jaxion: I'm insulted)

(Aww sorry boo, you happened to fall for someone as good as him. ?)

Good looked up the sky where the sun is peeking out the clouds. The bright light makes him squint his eyes as he enjoys the heat on his face.

Jaxion gets out of the water as his shorts and the shirt that he did not bother to take off the stick to his body like a second skin.

Eyes peered at the sculptured body of Jaxion but he doesn't care.

His mood becomes a bit better but he is still annoyed when he saw Good sitting on the sand as looking like a harmless angel.

"You! Go take a dip into the water." Jaxion commands as he sat down himself.

"I can't swim."

"I never said you have to swim into the middle... Just stay where you can touch with your feet, go it's good for you."

Good glance looked at the calm blue water and the people that are swimming. It looks fun.

He takes off his shoes and gives his empty bowl to Jaxion before going straight onto the water.

Ax disregard the bowl to the side as he lay down in the sand. His arms are behind his head as he closed his eyes behind his sunglasses.

Good who only stayed at the feet high water splash water here and there like a child. Two teenage girls are watching him not far from where he approaches him.

"Hi." The girl that is wearing a black one-piece swimsuit greeted him while waving her hand.

Good just looked at her without answering.

"Hello."The other girl smiles at Good.

"You don't know how to swim?." The taller one asked.

"God looked down in the water before nodding his head.

"Oh, why is that? We can teach you if you want... We are swimmers in our school." The shorter girl said proudly.

Jaxion frowned when he noticed Good talking with two girls. No, with those girls talking to him. He got up abruptly when the two led Good into the deeper part. With hurried steps, he followed the three without him noticing what he is doing.

"Where are you taking him?." Jaxion asked. He is not concerned but this i***t is his responsibility.

"Who are you?." One of the girls asked Ax.

"You don't need to know what I'm asking is where are you taking him?." Jaxion sighed.

"Are you two together?." The girl asked Good instead.

"Hmm. mm, "

"Really?!." The girl's eyes light up like streetlights at night as they looked at each other dreamily.

Jaxion scowled when he realized one of the indications of the question. He can tell that this two are just like those weirdos who like worshipping gay actions while Good is just honestly saying the two of them are together as in two people in one place not together as lovers.

"Don't get any wrong ideas," Jaxion told the young girls.

"Of course not." They looked at each other then giggled.

"We are together." Good repeated.

"You are not helping!." Jaxion dragged Good out of the water leaving the two girls with their sparkling eyes.

"Do you have any idea what they are referring to?." Jaxion said between gritted teeth.

"That we are together?."

"What do you think why they are acting strangely?."

"But you are acting strangely."

"No, I am not! What I'm saying is they are thinking we are a couple... Lovers!."

Good looked up then down the path they are walking before raising his left pointer finger.

"Oh, but I don't like you."

"I never said I like you too!." Jaxion is tempted to squeeze Good and shake him till he becomes normal. "Besides I don't need you liking me anyway."

Seriously... That's insulting!

"I like cute stuff." Good continued as if not hearing anything from Jaxion.

"I don't care!."

"You are not cute," Good told Ax seriously.

"Of course not... I'm gorgeous, cute is for puppies." Jaxion said while opening the door of their room. "And I'm rich, " I don't need to worry about anyone liking me."

"I'll marry you then." Good dropped without warning.

"What?." His eyes widened as he turned to Good who is staring at his face.

"Because you're rich." Good explained as if that's a logical idea why he wants to marry Jaxion.

"That's gold-digging you, i***t!."

"You have golds? Why do I have to dig?." Good said looking genuinely confused.

Jaxion is too speechless to do something or react to anything. Goods have the power to create a war inside someone's mind. He is more than sure that he will be effective in negotiations against terrorists on how he can twist a seemingly normal sentence into a word statement.

Jaxion without a word about to enter the bath when unfortunately an idiotic guy left his used towel lying on the floor making him trip on it. Good who now forgot about him wanting to marry Jaxion and looking for his phone sadly pulled down by falling Jaxion.

Ax fell painfully on his back while he cushions Good's fall with his body.

Jaxion closes his eyes while groaning in pain cursing whoever it is playing with his misfortunes.

What's this some cliche Korean drama? Just need cheesy music and soft slow-mo background and it can be a romantic scene...

Jaxion scoffed inside his head when the pain slowly subsided but another pain exploded and this time, between his thigh when Good tried standing up as he used his knees as leverage not giving a f*****g damn that it will crash Jaxion's future.

Jaxion angrily reverses their position with him on top as Good looked up at him.

"Are you trying to kill me?!." Jaxion yelled at Good.

"You pulled me." Good reminded Ax.

"It's my reflex, you dummy! While you almost crash my balls you, i***t!."

"It's in the way."

Jaxion squeezed Good's cheeks hard before storming inside the bathroom, slamming the innocent door as he goes.

Good who is lying on the carpeted floor watched the closed door for a while before shrugging his shoulders. He once again hunts for his phone that he can't remember where he left. The room that was organized when they arrived turned upside down in a matter of minutes. Good found his phone inside the closet beside his backpack and his clothes are also in there.

Jaxion stopped at the bathroom door as his head felt bigger on the unorganized too. Sighing deeply he changes into his suit without saying anything.

Good is busy reading his mother's text that is like an essay on how long it is.

"Wash up, let's find you something to do." Jaxion gives up as he can't stay one more minute with Good inside a close space.

"Okay." Good obediently listens as he does what he's been told and changes into something he thought is appropriate. Jaxion held his tongue from commenting as he turns a blind eye on how Good sloppily dressed himself up.

Leisure Life Casino Pattaya branch is not as big as the main but because it is connected to a resort, their visitors are usually tourists.

Provincial branches often have much tighter security for it is more targeted because they are thinking it is much easier to infiltrate than the ones in the city.

Jaxion invested big in his business high-tech security facilities to make sure that his money is well protected.

The people inside the I.T room were shocked to see the presence of their big boss who rarely visits them. Good who is peeking behind Jaxion as he talks with the manager caught their attention even more.

"Give him something to do while I'm busy, I'll get him later... He is from main so he knows what is what...don't let him wander outside." Jaxion left without a word to Good.

The manager curiously studies the looking like a lost pup Good.

The manager gives him one available computer and leaves him all by himself when he refuses to talk.

Everyone got weird out by it but choose to ignore that and continue what they are doing.

Jaxion's mood did not get any better as he deals with the area manager of the resort and casino. His mind will drift back to Good and his face will contort into distaste making the poor manager panic thinking what he did wrong.

He is digging his mind to find the right approach for Good without him losing it but it seems like he will lose it anyway.

There's one solution left... Grip at his patience tightly. With that thought, Jaxion focused on his work and disregard his annoyance with Good.

Patience... Patience is a virtue...
