Forth Beam short stories 2

Bad Day (part 10)

Beam's P.O.V.

I woke up with a killer headache and itchy eyes. I groaned sitting up when I felt a hand on my waist I was startled. I looked beside me to see Forth. Which is a surprise but kind of normal in a way. We have spent a lot of nights at each other houses lately. Wait. I don't remember how we got here yesterday. In fact, I only remember drinking at the bar. I rubbed my eyes trying to piece together what happened yesterday. God, I hope I didn't do anything stupid. He must have driven home since I was clearly drunk. I kept trying to remember and little by little I was able to remember some things. Like him stopping me from leaving. Then I remember being in the car with him driving. Oh and then he was walking me to my apartment. And suddenly everything came back. Shit, I kissed him! And he pulled back. Oh God, can I die? I don't have anywhere to run away to. I'm already at my apartment. Should I just leave him here? But Phana and Kit will both ask questions I'm not ready to answer. In the middle of my panic, I felt Forth move. He was waking up. I had no time! I laid down pulling the covers over my head. This will have to do for now. If the ground wants to swallow me now would be a pretty good time to do so.

"Beam?" I could hear his confused voice. If I don't talk maybe he will leave. Instead, he tried pulling the covers from me. I gripped them with all I had I'm not ready to face him. "Is this about yesterday?" he asked and I could feel my face turning red from embarrassment. "We already talked about this don't you remember?" he asked again and I froze for a second. I don't remember but why was he here sleeping beside me after he rejected me? Even drunk me can't be THAT stupid. That's when it hit me. I was crying and he came back. He said that the only reason he pulled away was because I was drunk. I stopped pulling the sheet and he managed to take it off. That's when I saw his worried face. I still couldn't help but look away embarrassed.

"I'm sorry." I said avoiding eye contact.

"Hey, no. Look at me." He said and I hesitantly did. "You don't have to be sorry. It's not that I didn't want to kiss you. It was just bad timing." He said.

"Well, I probably wouldn't have done it if I wasn't drunk." I said and he pinched my nose.

"I figured. I was trying to think of a way to do this. But I guess now is a good time to say this. Would you go on a date with me?" he asked and I was so happy.

"Forth Jaturapoom are you confessing your feelings for me?" I asked and he rolled his eyes.

"More like you confessed first by kissing me and I wouldn't be here if I didn't feel something. But if you want me to say it I do in fact like you very much Beam Baramee." He said and my cheeks heated up for the thousandth time today.

"I was just teasing you didn't have to say it out loud." I said.

"I don't want any more misunderstandings between us." he said and I nodded.

"Fine."

"You didn't answer my question." He said and I rolled my eyes.

"Of course, I will go on a date with you. And just for the record, I like you too Forth Jaturapoom." I said and he smiled kissing me on the cheek.

"Ah I'm so happy! Come on let's get ready to go on a date." He said standing up from the bed.

"You mean now?" I asked confused.

"Yeah now! Hurry up we will start with breakfast." he said excitedly and I smiled standing up from the bed.

We both got ready fairly quickly. I lend Forth some of my clothes. We took my car but Forth was driving since he wanted to go to a specific place. I was also a little hungover. I almost fell asleep again on the way. When we arrived I was surprised we were in a little coffee shop close to the university. On my first year I used to come here a lot before we got busy and we mostly went to the university food court for convenience. I smiled getting out.
