Guardian Angel

Selfish

You're so . . . amazing," Forth said hoarsely. "I've never seen anyone like you, Baby. You're handsome and beautiful at the same time. Charming and adorable."

Beam's face reddened. "Oh, come on, Poom, don't over-praise. You're going to make me puff up and arogant"

Forth pulled Beam's waist and pulled the two of them closer together. Beam wrapped his arms around Forth's neck and looked up. Forth looked into Beam's brilliant eyes. He bent down and kissed Beam's forehead, nose tip and lips briefly. "Promise you will always be with me, in every condition, in every situation, in every time. I don't want to lose you for any reason," Forth whispered over Beam's lips. He could feel Beam smiling.

"I promise, my Poom. So do I, asking you to do the same for me."

They looked at each other then kissed very intimately. Forth let go of Beam's lips while squeezing Beam's ass. "Oh God, you're addicting me, Baby. Let's go now, before I lose control and ruin our suits."

Beam laughed and kissed Forth's chin. Forth let go of his arms and took the car keys from the small tray on the guest table.

"Poom, you should probably go down to the garage and warm up the car. I'm kind of... uh... feeling litlle sick in my stomach," Beam said clutching his stomach.

Forth approached Beam with a worried face. "Are you sure you're okay? Anything else you're uncomfortable with? Or should we just cancel and go see a doctor?"

Beam laughed while stroking Forth's right cheek. "Don't be silly! I just have a little stomachache. I'm going to the bathroom for a bit and catch you downstairs quickly. Go now and warm up the car, so it won't be too long."

"Okay, Baby. Don't forget to lock the door."

Beam went straight to the bathroom after Forth came out of the room. Forth was almost up again and looking for Beam into the room, when Beam appeared at the lobby door, smoothing the buttons on the sleeves of his shirt.

"Poom, am I being selfish?" asked Beam quietly.

They were in the car, on their way to Forth's parents' house. Gary and Leah Jamorhnoom's wedding aniversary party, as well as Leah's birthday, will start in two hours.

Forth estimated they would arrive half an hour early if the trip was congested, as traffic on weekends is usually unpredictable. Sure enough, only ten minutes later, the car they were in was now stuck in a traffic jam.

Forth turned to find Beam staring straight ahead, but Forth could feel worry coloring his voice. He took Beam's hand and brought it to his lips, kissing Beam's palm gently.

"What are you thinking? Why ask like that?" asked Forth with raised eyebrows."

Beam took a deep breath and looked down. He squeezed Forth's hand. "Phi Torn... he's coming to the party, right?"

"Of course. He's the eldest and most reliable, there's no way he won't come."

"He's coming with... him?" asked Beam nervously.

Forth squeezed Beam's hand and leaned toward Beam to kiss his hair. "No, Baby. You don't have to worry about that. Phi Torn is a very strong and determined person. He is reliable and always puts the interests of his family ahead of his own. He has already said that he will separate from Gain, in order to make me stay in the name Jamorhnoom."

"Will he hate me because I have been the reason he has to part with the person he loves?"

"No, Baby, of course not. He's not that kind of person. He's loyal and good at placing himself. We talked at length about it last night and he asked me to make sure that his decision to release Gain was part of the price Gain had to pay for his past actions."

Beam's eyes welled with tears. He turned. "I'm sorry, Poom. I... love you so much and don't want to lose you."

Ford smiled. He stroked Beam's wet cheek. "I know, Baby, and you know that I feel the same for you too. Don't cry anymore. I hate to see you sad and cry. From now on, laugh and smile more often. You look cute when you cry, but look so much more adorable when you smile."

Beam wiped his tears and smiled. Traffic started moving again. Beam's phone vibrated. He saw Phana's name on the screen of his phone.

"Yes, Pha?"

"Where are you, Beam?"

"I'm on my way to Forth's house. His parents are having a wedding anniversary party and we're ...."

"I know," Phana cut in quickly. "Hurry up. I have something to tell you."

"What,? But I can't meet with ...." Beam's words hung in the air as Phana hung up. Beam stared at his phone screen and shook his head.

"Phana is indeed crazy," Beam muttered.
