Sam Could No Longer Ignore his Feelings

Sam Adams lived in Bangkok, Thailand as a retired US military special forces operative. He was fluent in Thai and Vietnamese and had been living in Bangkok for a number of years. He lived in Soi 26 near the famous Soi Cowboy. He would often drop by his favorite bar, the Cosmos Bar where he would hang out with his favorite bar maid, the wonderful, witty and sexy Khun Lek. Khun Lek ran the ran and was from up country. She liked Sam, perhaps loved him, and was amused by his command of Thai, his deep understanding of Thai culture and ways.

But there was one thing that she did not approve of. She felt that at times he was ignoring her which pissed her off. She would go to Sam and give him his beer and tell him,

“Sam, don’t ignore me anymore. It is time for you to do the right thing, and put a ring on me. Don’t you think?”

Sam always laughed at her, he had no intention of getting married after the disastrous first marriage ended in divorced and two children who hated his ass for having deserted their sainted mother for another woman.

One day Sam broke down and in front of the Cosmos Bar regular patrons, Sam Adams stood up and took a knee in front of Khun Lek and said,

“Khun Lek, I am not going to ignore you any more and I can’t ignore my feelings for you. I love you. Let’s get married.

And he pulled out a large diamond ring and put it on her.

It was the happiest day of Sam Adams life.
