Billionaire Biker Boy

Special Chapter 5 - Pre-Honeymoon.

 

"Wow, wow, wow! Why is it so beautiful?"

 

The petite figure had been exclaiming in awe since the plane hadn't even touched the runway. Even after arriving at the Andamarisa Hotel, which wasn't far from the airport, he continued marvelling at the unfamiliar sights around him. Despite living in a coastal province, he rarely visited the sea.

 

"..' Win, the sea here has such a beautiful colour. It's not murky like the sea in Songkhla," Samut said, his eyes sparkling.

 

Wonchana chuckled and replied with his own understanding, "Well, the sea in Songkhla is on the Gulf of Thailand, while this is the Andaman side. I think the water here is deeper, and the cleanliness and richness of the ecosystem make the colour different."

 

"I like the Andaman's colour. It's got this greenish tint that's hard to describe," Samut said, his voice filled with admiration. Wonchana smiled at the little one's love for green. "Let's check in first, and then we can take a walk along the beach this afternoon."

 

The taller man wrapped an arm around the petite waist, guiding him into the lobby with their luggage. After checking in, the staff brought over welcome drinks-a bright green mocktail in a tall pitcher, two glasses with emerald-colored coconut jelly at the bottom, a card detailing the drink, and two rolled white towels.

 

Samut picked up the English card and read it aloud with interest, translating for the taller man who was pouring the green drink. "Andamarisa's signature drink: coconut jelly, coconut water, freshly squeezed lime juice, and kaffir lime grown in the hotel's herbal garden. This drink is also available at the Anda Bar... Wow, their marketing is on point. It must be delicious if they're using it to lure us in right from the start."

 

Wonchana laughed and handed him a glass of the sea-green drink. "Try it and see if it's as tempting as they claim."

 

As soon as Samut took his first sip, his wide eyes grew even larger, sparkling with delight. Wonchana could tell immediately, without the little one needing to say a word...

This was definitely going to be a repeat order.

 

"Oh my god, it smells amazing! This is incredible!" Samut exclaimed, his face showing pure bliss.

 

"Let's put our stuff in the room first, and then we'll head to the bar," the ever attentive Wonchana suggested. Just then, a small but well-proportioned man, no taller than 170cm, with brown eyes and hair, walked briskly from inside the hotel into the lobby. When one of the staff gestured toward Wonchana's table, the man approached directly, pulling down his mask to reveal a radiant smile. His mixed-heritage features were strikingly bright and fresh.

 

"Hello, are you Mr Wonchana, P'Jet's friend?" he asked sunnily. Wonchana stood up, confirmed, and greeted him back. The smaller man continued in a lively tone, "My name's Maya. You can call me Ya. I'm the owner of this hotel."

 

"Mr Pearl Mask!"

 

Maya glanced toward the voice and saw its owner, a wide-eyed Samut standing behind Wonchana, looking at him with excitement. The mixed-heritage man gave him a broad smile.

...This kid's at least five centimetres shorter than me, huh?

 

'That's right, the real Mr Pearl Mask. Do you watch me sing?" Maya asked.

Samut nodded shyly. "I do. I follow you on TikTok, too. You're my idol."

 

...Because this man also has a male partner.

...And they've even had a wedding. How cool is that?

 

"Thank you," Maya replied with a smile to his little fan before turning back to discuss business with Wonchana.

 

"You've already checked in, right, Mr Wonchana?"

 

"Yes, all set. You can call me Win. I'm probably younger than you, Mr Ya. And this is my fiancé, Samut or Ocean," Wonchana introduced.

 

"Nice to meet you, Mr Win, O. Let me take you to your room," Maya offered, and so, the two VIP guests were led to their room by the hotel owner himself. Since Wonchana had booked a pool villa, they had to walk a fair distance. Maya continued his role as a full-fledged promoter along the way...

...because he knew exactly why this tall man was here.

 

"In the past three or four years, Andamarisa has swept countless world-class awards, from World Luxury Hotel to the Gold Medal for Green Hotel for our eco-friendliness. We've also achieved SHA standards for hygiene and safety during COVID. Our spa has won awards, too, and most recently, our pool villas. The next award we're aiming for is the Luxury Wedding Destination award. I guarantee that once you stay here, you'll fall in love with it."

 

"Wow... That's amazing," Samut said, swallowing the words 'such a good salesman' because it might come off as sarcastic since they weren't close yet. Maya chuckled softly, making his face even more captivating.

 

"It's all thanks to our hard work. During COVID, we had to adapt a lot. Luckily, my partner also runs a hotel, so we could consult each other, even though our hotels are different styles," Maya elaborated

 

When they reached the spacious room with a private pool and a stunning sea view, Samut nearly screamed with delight but managed to keep his composure. Wonchana, noticing his sparkling eyes and excitement, smiled and leaned down to ask, "Do you like it here, Nuu O?"

 

"I love it. It's so breathtaking, like a dream," Samut replied, his voice full of wonder. Maya, hearing this, smiled warmly and felt even more fond of the little one. He extended an invitation, "I'd like to invite you both to join me for dinner. My partner should be back soon, and he's a close friend of P'Jet. It'd be good to get to know each other."

 

"We'd be delighted," Wonchana replied, thinking he was almost certain to choose this hotel. After exchanging contact information and setting a time, Maya left. The tall man turned to find Samut happily filming the room's view.

 

"P'Win, look at the bathtub! It's so open-who would dare to bathe in it? Did they really win an award for this?" Samut frowned, puzzled by the design. Wonchana laughed heartily. "It's designed so no one can see in. If anyone could, it'd only be me."

 

The shy one scrunched his nose at him. Wonchana sat on the wide couch, pulling the smaller figure onto his lap before starting to cuddle him. Samut set his camera aside and wrapped his arms around the broad neck.

 

"How much is this room per night? It's way fancier than the one in Hua Hin," Samut asked. The one who booked the room cleared his throat nervously before holding up five fingers.

 

...It's not like it's a hundred thousand baht, so I won't get scolded. Samut’s eyes widened.

...lt's not five thousand, is it?

...Fifty thousand? Three nights would be 150,000.

 

"It's half the price of the hotel I mentioned in Hua Hin," Wonchana quickly defended himself. The smaller head bumped into his chest in mock annoyance but didn't complain, having grown accustomed to this lifestyle. Seeing this, Wonchana offered a suggestion to ease his frugal fiancée’s mind.

 

"Then let's stay in the room the whole time to make it worth it. They even deliver food to the room. It'll be totally worth it."

 

The frugal traveller gaped before protesting, "Staying in the room the whole time would be so boring, even if the view is nice!"

 

A deep, husky voice whispered teasingly into his ear, "I'll make sure you don't get bored." Then warm lips captured the smaller, plump ones. A thick tongue invaded, tasting the sweetness within, playfully teasing the smaller tongue that tried to fight back adorably. Samut surrendered willingly until the taller man carried him into the bathroom.

..And so began the first round of making the most of their stay.

 

By the time they finally emerged for lunch, it was already half past noon. The smaller one, whose legs were trembling from the "instalment payments," complained half-heartedly, "P'Win, you're so slow. I'm starving."

 

"I can't do it quickly," the deep voice teased at his ear, earning a dramatic eye-roll. "I offered to order room service, but you didn't want that."

 

"No way. Let's go out and see other things. The hotel has won awards, after all."

 

They headed to the dining area, which was now less crowded. After finishing their meal, Wonchana suggested they explore the hotel. When he noticed Samut eyeing the sign for the afternoon tea set, with its unique tiered aluminium and glass design unlike traditional tea trays, he said, "Let's order it to the room. They start serving at 2 PM." Samut nodded eagerly, flashing a sweet smile.

 

Wonchana ordered the tea set to be delivered to their room at 2:30 PM. Then the two strolled down to the beach. The area near the hotel was lined with rugged, picturesque rocks, as the hotel was perched on a small cliff. But seeing the blazing sun, the taller man voiced his concern, "The sun's still too strong. Let's wait until later in the afternoon when it's cooler to take photos."

 

"Alright," Samut agreed without protest.

 

Wonchana had suggested the walk to explore the hotel grounds. They wandered around until they came across the fitness room, surrounded by glass walls, offering a panoramic view of the lush hotel grounds, with the turquoise-green sea as the backdrop.

 

"Oh my gosh, the view is absolutely stunning! If I had this at home, I'd work out every day."

 

"I'll set up a giant screen at home to project this view for you," Wonchana, ever the problem-solver with money, suggested. That earned him another dramatic eye-roll.

 

"It's not the same at all!"

 

The taller man laughed and wrapped an arm around the smaller one's waist, leading Samut back to their room. Just as they arrived, the afternoon tea set was being delivered. Wonchana instructed the staff to place it on the lounge chairs by the poolside balcony and handed them a tip. When he turned back, he saw Samut engrossed in taking pictures of the desserts.

 

"Nuu O.." Wonchana called softly as he sat down beside him.

 

"Yes?" Samut replied, sipping the red drink garnished with a cinnamon stick, clearly enjoying it. But he looked up curiously when Wonchana didn't say anything further. Seeing the concerned look on his face, Samut set aside his interest in the desserts and asked, "What's wrong, P'Win?"

 

Wonchana sighed quietly before deciding to ask, "Do you want to get married yet?"

 

Samut froze for a moment. To him, their current life didn't feel much different from being married. They lived together, shared a deep relationship, and both families and friends were aware of it. Whether they married or not, it felt the same. But P'Win was romantic and always thought ahead.

..If it's the same either way, then why not get married? What's the big deal?

 

His soft lips curved into a beautiful smile. "I'll go along with whatever you want. I'm fine with anything."

 

Wonchana’s face lit up with a wide smile as he pulled him into a hug before revealing, "The reason I brought you here is that if you like it, how about we have our wedding here?"

 

Samut’s eyes widened. So that's what this was about.

"Yes, that sounds great! I can bring my mom here, too. When would we do it?"

 

"At first, I wanted to wait until the anniversary of the day we first met, so it'd be exactly one year. But now I don't want to wait any longer. I'm dying to change our statuses to husbands," Wonchana confessed.

 

Samut burst out laughing.

...Didn't he say he wasn't in a hurry?

 

"Then how about we wait until after the election? Maybe the marriage equality law will pass by then," Samut suggested.

 

"I don't want to pin my hopes or our future on Thai politics. The reason we're here is that P'Jet recommended it. Mr Ya and Mr Thames have been hosting weddings here for years. Maybe we can get some good advice from them," Wonchana explained.

 

"Alright, then let's go with whatever you think is best," Samut agreed

...Wonchana rewarded the sweet kid with a tender kiss.

 

That afternoon, Samut didn't go out for a walk or take photos because he wanted to swim in the pool. Wonchana, of course, joined him without hesitation. When it was time for their dinner appointment, they headed to the lobby.

 

There, Maya stood with a tall, handsome man whose stern expression made him seem intimidating. After exchanging greetings, they realised that Tara wasn't as scary as he seemed. He spoke casually and warmly. Maya, however, raised an eyebrow when he noticed Samut hesitating and fidgeting.

 

"O, is there something you want to say?" Maya enquired.

 

The smallest one pulled out a small notebook and a pen from behind his back. "Can I have your autograph, P'Ya?"

 

Maya laughed. "Of course. Let's sit at the table first, and I'll sign it for you.. Want a selfie, too?"

 

Samut nodded eagerly and asked Wonchana to take the photo. Meanwhile, the stern-looking man stood nearby, smiling faintly at his partner.

..Is it really that thrilling to meet someone shorter than you?

 

The group moved to another dining area, which had a completely different atmosphere from the lunchtime one. This one served European-style cuisine. Maya recommended the signature dish, sea bass steak. Samut, ever the easygoing one, agreed immediately, while Wonchana opted for tenderloin steak.

 

"Can you drink wine, O?" Maya asked.

 

"I can. I just did a tasting recently. I'm only allergic to umeshu," Samut replied, scrunching his nose in frustration.

 

Maya's eyes widened... Allergic to something so good? He himself wasn't allergic, just a lightweight who got drunk easily. The hotel owner ordered drinks for the two guests. Once the staff left, Maya took the notebook and signed it, while Wonchana turned to chat with Tara.

 

"I've talked to O, and we'd like to have our wedding here. But we'll need to discuss the date with our families first. We expect it to be within the next two months. Do you or P'Thames have any advice?" Wonchana asked.

 

Tara smiled faintly and offered honest advice. "In two months, it'll be monsoon season. It rains often and unpredictably. When I married Ya, it was early August, right in the middle of the rainy season. But we were lucky to have clear skies that day."

 

"At first, I wanted to do it in early December, but I'm too impatient to wait that long," Wonchana admitted thoughtfully. Maya chimed in.

 

"If you're not too particular about auspicious dates, you can go ahead. The weather isn't always sudden. Outdoor ceremonies, like exchanging rings, don't take long. And the reception can be held indoors," Maya suggested, ever the skilled salesman. After all, if Wonchana held his wedding here, it'd be an excellent advertisement for the hotel.

 

"For me, it's more about convenience. I need to confirm whether most of the guests are available. After the wedding, we'll probably stay here for a little vacation," Wonchana said.

 

"Sounds good. I'll show you the wedding packages tomorrow," Maya replied. After that, the four of them enjoyed their meal together. Tara and Wonchana hit it off, with Tara sharing tips on preparing for a marriage not recognised by the government, such as wills and medical power of attorney for emergencies. Fortunately, Tara and Maya didn't plan to adopt children. We're not planning to adopt either. I already have three nieces and nephews. Plus, O has a little boy," Wonchana said.

 

Samut pulled out his phone to show off a picture of a tiny Chihuahua. "His name's Pada. It's Korean for 'sea.’

 

"So cute," Maya complimented, admiring the video of the tiny dog. The two smaller ones then huddled together, exchanging social media and contact information. They went to pick out cakes from the display, where Maya convinced Samut to try the banoffee cheesecake, his favourite.

 

"Oh my god, it's so good! P'Win, try this." Samut scooped up a bite to feed his partner, who accepted it willingly. The scene brought warm smiles to the other couple. After dinner, the VIP guests went for a walk on the beach. Tara wrapped an arm around his partner's waist and said, "It's like seeing our younger selves."

 

"But Mr Win spoils O so much. Like, sooooo much," Maya remarked.

 

"I spoil you a lot, too, like, a whole looooooooot," Tara protested, feeling the need to defend his title as a doting partner.

 

"Oh, P'Thames.. It's a different vibe. Plus, those two have a big age gap," Maya teased before laughing and sharing a sudden decision. "I think I want to get a Chihuahua now."
