Next Stop, Love

Chapter VI

Beam POV:

Words can't describe the joy I felt when spending time with Sunny, P'Forth and P'Vid. Despite having so many firsts, it felt complete and natural. It felt as though I was a part of the Jaturapoom Family.

"Beamy! Beamy! Let's slide down again! Please please please!"

How could I refuse Sunny who was tugging my hand towards the big slide that we have went down countless times

I wonder how it led to this. All I did was offer a seat to a complete stranger and here I am, establishing a relationship with the family.

"Beamy! Beamy! Can we go into the swimming pool please!"

Shucks! I didn't bring a change of clothes today! How do I say no to Sunny, he seems really excited as he tugs my hand towards the pool.

"Here you go, Beam! Use these alright, then you can reuse your current clothes to go home later"

P'Vid saved the day by lending a pair of P'Forth's Old Clothes which honestly is a little too baggy for me. Even though these are old clothes, clearly, P'Forth has always been a size or two bigger than I am. The man does have muscles underneath all that office wear.

Here we are, swimming around the pool. Rather, I am swimming around the pool while Sunny sits on his donut float as I push him around. P'Vid joins in the fun from the side by shooting a water gun at him.

"Is it too late for me to join the party?"

Mistake made. I shouldn't have turned and looked up.

Forth POV:

As I sat in my home-office, I could hear Sunny screaming excitedly as he mentioned the pool and it was an instant lightbulb moment for me. I needed the break from work either way.

I changed into my swim shorts and made my way to the pool. Hearing Sunny and Beam laugh makes me feel warm inside. How I wish this could be a permanent fixture in the house.

I knew the days spent in the gym will pay off eventually and today is that day. Beam looks so cute all flustered as I bask in my muscle glory by the poolside

"N-n-no P'Forth, please join us"

It was obvious that he was trying his best to divert his attention elsewhere but failing miserably as he stole glances between Sunny and me.

The rest of the afternoon was spent in the pool. Pushing Sunny around and spraying water guns at each other. Hearing Sunny laugh and seeing him enjoying himself always puts a smile on my face.

Soon enough, it was evening and before Sunny caught a cold, we decided it was time to get changed for dinner.

'P'Vid, could you please wash Sunny up so Beam could have some time alone to wash up as well."

I watched as P'Vid carried Sunny into the room. This is my moment, I thought. To ask Beam out, without Sunny around. Just us two bond over dinner or lunch or whatever his preference is.

My mind was forming questions in my head as my eyes were on the person with a toned but snow-white skin. Just as fate had decided to conspire with me, Beam slips on the wet flooring and falls backwards. Right into my arms.

"You okay Beam? Are you hurt ? "

Beam POV:

The muscular body and that husky voice. I am not sure whether my face is red because I fell backwards into P'Forth or because of how intimate our position is.

Even though the fall wasn't planned, it felt nice and right as he catches me from the back, slipping his arms around my waist.

"Ye-ye-yes P'Forth. I'm alright. I'm sorry, please excuse me."

I mustered all the courage I could and ran into the house straight into the guest bedroom where my belongings are. I slumped against the door as the sound of my erratic heartbeat overpowers the silence of the room.

Why am I feeling this way. Why is being this close to P'Forth makes me feel special. Why does the warmth of his body make me feel protected.

However, the one question that has been burning my mind the entirety of the day is also blasting in my head; Where is P'Forth's wife?

Dinner was pretty much normal. P'Vid makes the best thai food and I was enjoying it so much, amidst the joking and teasing between the Father-Son Duo.

I stayed on once dinner was done. Mainly to assist P'Vid with the clean up and also because Sunny insisted that I read him a bedtime story tonight.

"And they lived happily ever after. The end. "

I stroke the cheeks of the boy that dozed off mid way into the story as he snuggles into his stuffed toy. I looked at P'Forth through the mirror reflection next to Sunny's bed. It felt like we are a family; me reading my son to sleep every night while my husband watches from the door.

At P'Forth insistence, he took me home as well. Deeming that it was hard to get a cab at this hour and with the far distance of his house to mine, he figured I should save the money for rainy days.

"Thank you P'Forth for the day and for sending me back, well to the cafe atleast."

"Are you sure you don't want me to wait for you and then send you home."

"It's alright P'Forth plus I would just hitch a ride with Ming and Kit later. God knows what time we'll end since Ming said the delivery this time is bigger hence why I needed to be here last minute."

"If you insist then. I shall see you some other time with Sunny. Till then, rest well alright. Thank you for entertaining Sunny."

I watched as his white Audi drove out and out of my sight. I heaved a sigh of relief because seriously, that man has some magic that made me weak in the knees.

"So Ming, how do you think the day went by."

"I'm not too sure P'Kit but it looks like it went swimmingly well."

Oh crap! Now I have this two clowns to entertain as I sense an interrogation coming along.
