Beam's P.O.V.
I woke up to strong arms around me. This time I embraced it snuggling comfortably into Forth's chest. I traced one of the tattoos on his chest not wanting to move. I felt his lips on my forehead and I smiled.
"Morning." He whispered huskily.
"Good morning." I said looking up at him. He didn't waste any time before capturing my lips on his. We cuddled for a while enjoying our time together.
"What time is it?" he asked.
"Almost noon. We need to get going soon we have to run errands today." I said and he groaned.
"Nooo." He whined hugging me closer.
"Come on we've been holed up here all weekend." I said and he sighed.
"I know I still wish we had more time. It felt like a couple of hours instead of a couple of days." He said and I ran my fingers through his hair lovingly.
"I know me too. But we need to go to the supermarket and all that fun stuff. Come on let's eat something before we have to leave." I said and he nodded standing up to order room service one last time. I looked around the penthouse that held so many memories for us.
We've been together for four years at this point. I remember after we got together Forth told me he was actually living here. The clothes he lent me at that time were his. I would've never guessed it since at that time I didn't snoop around the drawers. Also, it looked like a regular hotel room it didn't have anything to differentiate it from a regular hotel room. It was tidy and there were no photos or anything that could've hinted it was his home. But I barely noticed anything that time. Most of my time here was spent either sleeping or Forth had all of my attention. I didn't snoop around. I barely took in the place as a whole. After we got together I noticed so many things Forth even questioned if I was actually here. Soon after we got together we ended up moving into a house closer to my work. He wanted to move out to separate his life from work and my lease was ending so it seemed like the right move for us. We never regretted it. Thanks to that we were able to spend time together even if we were busy. Forth still kept the penthouse vacant. We use it when we need a little escape. Or when we fight about something and we need to cool down. Forth mostly used it on my long shifts where he is working too it's easier to stay here. He came back to bed already dressed for the day.
"Still sleepy?" he asked sitting down on the bed beside me.
"No, just remembering everything weve lived here." I said smiling at him. He held my hand.
"I love you Beam." He said and I never got tired of hearing it.
"I love you too Forth." I said and he leaned down to kiss me. Soon the food got here and we moved to the table to eat. This was the best thing about staying here not worrying about cooking.
"Do you remember what day today is?" he asked and I shook my head no. It's not his birthday and our anniversary from when we got together it's still a couple of weeks away.
"No." I said a little guilty I couldn't remember anything.
"Today five years ago we met each other again in the hotel lobby." He said and my eyes widened.
"You remember that?" He never failed to amaze me.
"Of course. Even in the circumstances that we met, I was so happy to see you again." He said and I took his hand in mine.
"I'm so happy we were able to meet even if it was so weird how we reconnected." I said.
"I know. I was so scared back then. I thought what if we end up the same way? I know none of us would cheat. But the falling out of love. I was scared that might happen to us too." He said looking down. I know how he felt I was scared too at the start. But he washed all my worries away. We truly loved and cared for each other. Since then I haven't doubted my feelings. I knew we were in this together for the long run and I wanted it to be that way.
"You don't have to worry about that. I feel like every day I love you more." I reassured him.
"I think I will always love you. Just like I have from the moment I laid my eyes on you." he said and I feel my cheeks heating up. Four years and he still manages to make me blush.
"Let's finish our breakfast." I change the subject knowing he will tease me for blushing. He laughed probably knowing what I was trying to do. Still he pinched my cheeks even if he didn't say anything. I just glared at him. When we were done I started to get ready since I have work in a few hours. I took a shower and got ready for the day. When I got out of the room I didn't see Forth. Confused I went down to the lobby. As soon as I stepped out of the elevator I saw Forth. He walked towards me grabbed my hand and dragged me to the middle of the lobby.
"What are you doing?" I asked confused. This reminds me of that day. As I looked around I spotted Phana, Wayo, Ming, Kit, and my parents. It took me a second to realize I knew every person in this room. "Forth..." I said confused when we stopped abruptly in the middle. Then he got on one knee in front of me and I couldn't believe it.
"Beam will you marry me?" He asked and I knelt down in front of him too.
"Of course I will marry you." I said drying the tears from his eyes. I didn't realize I was crying too until he did the same.
"I will love you forever." he said and I kissed him.
"I will love you more than that." I said.
We heard everyone cheering for us and that's when I remember we were in a room full of people. We spent the rest of the day celebrating with friends and family.
