CHAPTER 27

a/n: Thank you for waiting. Happy Saturday!

*******

I don't know what happed, but the next thing I know is I'm sitting down in a dining table with Forth and his parents. They were chatting and updating each other while I'm feeling out of place even thought his parents is including me in the conversation but Forth was still ignoring me.

His parents have a curious glance at our way as Forth was clearly not happy having me dine with them.

"So, Beam, you said you are a medical student? How was it? I always thought that Medical Courses are tough. Not to mention you need people's skill. Dealing with patients patiently and in times giving them bad news. How are you coping up?" his mother asked, bringing me again to the conversation not making me felt left out.

"It is challenging, Madam, but I'm trying my best. I also need to do better because I'm in scholarship." I said politely.

"Are you a new friend of Forths'? I was used to meeting his friends, he sometimes brings them but not here. Just outside. I believe it was a first he brought a friend over here. They are either bulky, tattooed, pierced or all of the above". She ended with an elegant laugh.

I don't know how to answer this because I don't know if Forth still wants to be my friend so I just smiled. She looks like she doesn't need an answer anyways. We continued eating but Forth was still silent.

"So, may we know what you are doing in my sons' penthouse this late at night, Beam?" his father asked in his business tone. I gulp hard. But before I can answer, Forth beat me to it.

"He's here because he needs something from me. He's already on his way out before you forced him to stay and have dinner". His parents were taken aback by the coldness in Forths' voice.

I fight the tears that are threatening to escape from my eyes. Wow. I don't know what to feel anymore. Forth being ruthless and cold was something I cannot get used to. I loved seeing him smiling and laughing and goofing with me. He was very different from the guy who was laughing so hard with me inside my car. It feels like a lifetime away that we were singing as much as our heart's contents.

I swallowed the lump in my throat as I listen to them. I felt full already and I need to get away from here Quickly before I started crying like a baby.

I made a quick work with my remaining food and started to say my goodbyes. I cannot stand this anymore.

"Thank you for the dinner, Madam, Sir, Forth. But I must go now. I still have things to finish." I can see a hint of pity and understanding in his mom's eyes as he looks at me. His father gave me a nod as I stand up.

I get up and dashed through the door and into the elevator before a painful sob escape me. I quickly left the building and was now in my car. The moment I closed the door, A fat tear escape. Followed by a waterfall of tears. I cannot stop crying and I don't know why I'm crying so hard. I tried composing myself to no avail, so I just let my heart cry out. I cannot drive at this state so I stayed.

I had my arms crossed in the steering wheels while my face buried. I was in this position until I heard a knock in my window. I tried wiping my tears off before I face whoever is knocking and was shocked to see Forth. Both hands in his back pocket. He took 1 step back and waited for me to open my windows. What now? is he here reprimanding me why I haven't moved from my parking space? Wow. Just wow.

"I'm going now. sorry for taking too long" I said after I rolled down my window. He looks taken aback when he saw my messy face.

"Come out. Let's have a walk" -He said

"No. I'm going home now. no need to take pity on me" – I said stubbornly. The time to talk was before he made me look like a fool ignoring me in front of his parents at dinner.

"You came to talk. Let's talk" – he argued.

"No, Forth. I'm going now" -I said. Starting my car.

"Are you coming out voluntarily or do you want me to drag your cute little ass and spank you here in the open?" – he said in his threatening voice.

He wouldn't dare. I made peace with myself as I started to roll back up my window. Forth, seeing I wasn't backing down tried opening my door, the stupid me forgotten to lock it up.

He leaned reaching into the key ignition, removed my keys and pocketed it and he started to walk away. I was dumbfounded to say the lease then I started running after him.

"Forth! You jerk! Give me back my keys!" he just continued walking. "Forth! Give it here. I'm going now. I won't disturb you anymore so please give me my keys so I can go home" I beg but I wanted to add and cry some more...

Forth just walk to the back of the building and I saw a park complete with slides, swings, a seesaw, a sand box and many more that would excite a kid and kids at heart e.g. ME.

Forth go directly to a swing and seated comfortably. I stood facing him and we were silent. Him, looking at me and me annoyingly looking at him with my palms open asking for my keys.

He looks at my open palm and put his chin into it. I must be a tsundere. One minute I was mad at this guy for ignoring me, then next my cheeks felt warm. Or he must be bipolar. Earlier he was so adamant in ignoring me then now he forces me to talk. Uuggghhhh!!!!

"Let's talk na Beam. I'm ready to talk" he cutely told me while looking up still has his chin in my palm. I can feel the forming stubbles on his chin and its tickly.

I remove my palm from his chin because I still am mad at him for ignoring me. The nerve of this guy. Who do he think he is? Huh? But I can feel my anger slowly evaporating when I saw his pouting face the moment, I removed my hands. Damn you, Jutarapoom!

"Forth, I'm sorry, Okay if I stood you up and didn't drive you home. I was called for a job and I love it. It helps me pay rent and for my daily expenses, I cannot lose this  since this is the only job I've got." I started explaining. He starts at me saying nothing.

"I'm not mad because you didn't drive me home, I'm mad because you choose to be with your boyfriend and you didn't even protest when he offered to drive. I saw everything. You just handed him your keys unlike to me" he sounds jealous when he said the word boyfriend and the giddy feeling is back again. Damn it!

"Is that the reason why you didn't answer my calls, left me in seen mode and blatantly ignored me in front of your parents?" I asked incredulously.

"Yes" he answered simply. I don't know what came over me but every time this stupid idiot does something stupid, he can really rile me up and make me violent like this time. 

This resulted to me kicking his shin and him whimpering in pain since I put a little more force due to annoyance. Oh god! I am a future doctor but I just hurt this man!
