Forth Beam short stories 2

Betrayal (part 3)

Forth's P.O.V.

"Everything is ready let's go before they come back." said Beam, snapping me out of my thoughts. I followed him to the seventh floor. There was a cart full of supplies outside the door he stopped in front of.

"What's all this?" I asked.

"In case you want to get creative." He said opening the door and pushing the cart inside. I just followed him.

"Won't Phana be mad at you? He will know it was you who helped." I asked.

"Don't care. I'm mad at him too." said Beam. He sat down on the right side of the bed leaning against the headboard of the already made bed. I looked at the supplies. There were the photos, paint, glitter, scissors, and a few other things.

"What exactly am I supposed to do with all this?" I asked Beam just shrugged looking at his phone.

"Whatever you want." he said and I picked up the glitter.

"Do you hate your employees?" I asked eyeing the glitter.

"Yeah, don't use that one." he chuckled. I picked up the photos, which were printed extra big, and placed them on the bed.

"Well, I'm not that creative. What else would you do?" I asked.

"Write cheater on them?" he said unsure. I grabbed some paint and a brush and did that.

"Not gonna lie this just feels stupid right now." I said.

"Yeah, still imagine the look on their faces that will be priceless. Shame we won't be here to see that." He said, standing beside me to look at the photos. I turned to say something to him. But in the process, I painted his hand with the brush that was still in my hand. I forgot what I was about to say and laughed instead. "FORTH JATURAPOOM." he said taking the brush from my hand and attempting to paint my cheek.

"NO! It wasn't intentional." I said holding his wrist. He was still trying but I am stronger.

"I don't care you need to pay." Said Beam. Between him pushing me backward and me trying to stop him, we ended up falling on the bed. I landed on top of Beam, successfully managing to grab the paintbrush from his hand.

"You would look cute with a red nose." I said, and he was trying to stop me from painting his face. I managed to put just a tiny dot, but I was satisfied. He looked at me, annoyed for a second, before he burst out laughing. It took me by surprise to see him. I always knew Beam was attractive, but seeing him now so close. I shook my head that's the last thing I should be thinking about right now. I quickly got off from him. Thankfully he didn't seem to notice anything was wrong since he was still smiling. He rubbed the paint from his nose.

"Asshole." he said and I chuckled. "Wait, where's my phone?" he said looking a little panicked.

"You had it in your hand a few seconds ago." I said looking around with him.

"We need to find it. Someone will text me to let me know if Phana and Wayo are coming." he said and for a second I had forgotten where we were. I started looking more seriously. I saw it under the bed must have fallen out when we were fighting with the paint.

"I have it." I said handing it to him. He quickly looked at it.

"Shit we need to..." he was cut off by the sound of the door unlocking. We looked at each other in panic.

"Shit indeed." I said standing next to him. There was no point we had nowhere to hide. I turned serious crossing my arms and Beam was back to his cold facade. The look on Phana and Wayo's faces was indeed priceless.

"The fuck." Said Phana while Wayo instantly had tears in his eyes. That just made me mad. So he is going to play the victim? Like he didn't deliberately made the choice to cheat on me with Phana for who knows how long. Cry me a river. I thought seeing him would hurt me. But I'm just mad at him. My feelings for him weren't that strong I guess.

"Forth I'm sorry." He said between sobs but it didn't affect me that he was crying. Part of me thought he was only doing it for show. He was happy with Phana two seconds ago.

"Yeah me too. I wasted my time with you." I said coldly. He looked shocked at my words.

"Don't say that. I made a mistake." he sobbed and I shook my head. I almost wanted to laugh. I grabbed one of the photos.

"Yeah, this doesn't look like a mistake to me." I said showing them the photo. Phana glared at Beam for a second before turning to me.

"You shouldn't have interfered between me and Wayo. This wouldn't have happened then." said Phana and I wanted to fight him. But Beam already said not to.

"Oh, don't worry. You can have him I don't care anymore. Clearly, we all made mistakes here. I just didn't think you would stoop so low as to cheat. We used to be friends." I said then turned to look at Wayo. "If you wanted to be with Phana so bad we could have broken up when we had that conversation. Things were not working out. But we decided to give it another try. Why not just end it and be with Phana?" I confronted Wayo. Hearing me, Phana let his hand go, feeling betrayed, too I guess.

"Is that true?" asked Phana to Wayo. The latter just looked away crying harder.

"Yeah, not much else to say. Let's go." I said to Beam who had been quiet beside me. Phana turned to look at him.

"You did that? Really? I am your friend." said Phana accusingly to Beam.

"Lately you haven't been acting like one." said Beam a little angry.

"So what you get mad at me and decide to betray me too. You took those pictures right? You let him in here and even helped him. Are you so caught up in your feelings for someone who doesn't care that you betray me like that?" asked Phana and I could tell Beam was the one who was mad now.

"Fuck you Phana." said Beam landing a punch straight to his jaw. Phana stumbled back. I grabbed Beam by the waist before he could pounce on him. He struggled against me wanting to fight Phana.

"I should let him because you're an asshole. But since you took that problem out of my hands I'll save you from this one." I said walking out with an angry Beam cursing in my hands.

"Let me go! I will rip that idiot's head off." said Beam. I looked at the scared employee in front of the door.

"Help me with the elevator?" I asked the employee, who quickly nodded, following me while I dragged Beam with me. He swiped his card so it would take us to the penthouse and left before the door closed. When the elevator started moving Beam stopped trying to escape my grasp. Instead, he wasn't looking at me just staring at the front. I sighed letting him be until we got to the penthouse.
