CHAPTER 26

a/n: HAPPY WEDNESDAY! enjoy!

********

I arrived at his imposing building and a new problem dawned to me. How was I supposed to get inside? The last time I was here, Forth was with me and he needed some codes. I thought while I was walking to the reception.

"Good evening, I am here to see Mr. Forth Jutarapoom" I respectfully told the receptionist who is a middle-aged bald man.

"Good evening, Sir. Can I please see an ID?" he mechanically greeted and asked. I rummage my wallet for an ID and show it to him. When the bald man saw my name, he quickly straightens up and was more attentive and polite. Weird.

"Good evening, Mr. Baramee, Please follow me" he said, leading the way to an elevator at the far end of the corridor while giving me back my ID. I just followed without any questions.

"Enjoy your evening, Sir!" he politely said while keeping his hand on the elevator door after it opened. Again, weird. I muttered a thank you and was inside the elevator slowly rising to the penthouse.

Now, I was on a dilemma. I haven't planned for this part just yet. What was I supposed to tell Forth? My mind was a racing mess and I am already internally freaking out but a soft *ding* brought be back.

I walk out of the elevator and purposely stride towards the hallways. I am still familiar with the place even if I was only here once. I heard some activities in the kitchen and smelled a delicious scent so I went there. Hoping to see Forth but I only saw a lady working with the pots.

"Excuse me, I'm here for Forth. Is he here?" -I asked politely. The lady turned around and has a knowing smile in her. Huh? I don't even know her. Why they are so polite. What if I'm a burglar? Again, me and my overthinking.

"Good evening. Nong Beam isn't it?" she said. I nodded. Before I can ask why she knew my name, she already told me to go straight to Forths' room. I just complied and will ask questions later. I really don't want my efforts to be in vain knowing Forth already left while me being a busybody.

I still remember his room. It has double doors. I knock but no answer. So, I slowly turn the doorknob lucky it was unlock. I slowly pushed it open and got inside. I'm actually enjoying this. I got to see Forth with him not expecting me being here. I just hope he won't kill me or anything by sneaking in.

I can hear water splashing in the bathroom and saw his luggage just below his bed. Ready. I've got the chance to study his room because the last time I was here, I didn't get the chance to do so. His bedroom screams manly. Dark colored theme everywhere. It was so him.

I was busy being curious and my eyes caught an innocent looking sketch book lying on his workstation where his computers are and a small box. It screams "OPEN MEEE". Who I am not to obliged? I slowly picked up the box and shake it a little. It made a satisfying rattling sound. I was ready to open it but a strong hand stopped me from doing so.

I look behind and saw a very naked Forth with only that offending towel around his waist. Hair still damps from shower while his body is glistening with water droplets. This screams so wattpad but I'm hungry with -annoyed. ANNOYED WITH THE view. Dammit. His manly aftershave mixed with his shampoo and body wash is assaulting my nostrils and I gulp. Hard. My body really has his own shameful reaction towards Forth. My little Beam is now half hard.

Forth turn me around and I found his amused look. This little bitch is enjoying my dilemma too much. I muttered privately. But I don't care as long as I can run my fingers again in his hard abs pretty, please??? I beg internally. Get a grip, Beam! you shameless excuse of a hormonal teenager!

"Breath Beam, inhale, Exhale, Inhale, Exhale. That's it. good boy!" Forth said and patted my hair. PATTED MY HAIR??!! IM NOT A PUPPY! I look at him annoyed but he just stared. To hell with running my fingers in his hard abs! I'm gonna bring this idiot down! I planned but before I can do anything, Forth releases my hand, took the Box and the Sketch pad, and went back to his walk-in closet.

He come back out wearing short pants and a black sleeveless shirt. He then proceeds to close his laptop and putting it inside his bag without sparing me a glance. Wow. Cold.

I only followed him with my eyes as he continuously busied himself with what he is doing and obviously ignoring me. It was like this for almost half an hour and each passing minutes I makes my blood boil.

"Forth, can we please talk?" I asked softly. He didn't even seem to hear me as he continuous with what he is doing.

"Okay fine. If your being like this I will just go" I said annoyed. Hoping to get some reaction from him but nothing. I waited for some couple of minutes but Forth was very determine in ignoring me. It hurts. Like really hurts when the people you cared about ignores you deliberately.

Another 10 minutes passed but I still didn't get any reaction from Forth. He was so engrossed with whatever he is doing. Now he's just lying on his bed scrolling his phone. I started talking. Since he still didn't look at me but I know he could hear me.

"I'm sorry if I left you that time but I was called to work and I love what I'm doing and it was an emergency so I really need to go. I know I was your ride maybe that's why you're acting like this but in my defense, you still have Lam and Park to drive you home" I explained. Thinking he must be angry with me because I left him in the air without a ride home. Still no reply.

"I already told you I'm sorry, Forth. Please na. forgive me" I started begging. But this little bitch is really testing my patience. He didn't even give me the decency of looking at me while I was asking for forgiveness.

I felt pathetic and angry at the same time. I felt neglected and humiliated. I let out a soft sigh.

"Alright. If you're really this mad at me, I won't be bothering you anymore. I will go now" I said. Hoping that he will at least acknowledge me or look at me but nothing. Wow.

I slowly walk to the door and out of the room. At some point I imagine Forth running after me and stopping be but I already was out of the hallway and into the receiving area, still no Forth.

It hurts. It hurts being rejected and the way Forth is ignoring me. But who am I to demand an explanation from him since we are only friends? I almost bump into someone as I was in a deep thought. I lost my footing but a strong hand supported me, stopping me from landing in my ass.

I looked up to thank whoever saved my ass but a man in middle age looking regal was looking curiously at me.

"Thank you, Sir and I'm sorry" I said apologetically.

"Look where you're going next time, nong, to avoid accident. You might hurt yourself" he told me not unkindly.

I said my sorry again and was about to go on my way but I came face to face with a beautiful lady. She's in par with the looks of the man I bump into. She has a genuine curiosity in her looks while she sizes me up and down.

"May I know who you are? And what are you doing here?" She asked softly.

I wasn't able to answer her question as a panting Forth was beside me. Maybe hearing the commotion, he hurriedly investigates what was it about.

"Mama, Papa, what are you both doing here?" he asked. He looks surprised. I, on the other hand just bow down my head. So, this is his parents. Wow. They look so rich and powerful and intimidating.
