Sweetness

Chapter 43

Today, tons of children flocked at Lumpini Park. There were ballons, bright ribbons, princess and clown. The weather was clear, the music's cheery. Such a merry occasion.

Yo really liked the atmosphere. The moment he met the children, he could felt his heart got chipped at several places. Pha's firm back rubs steeled his nerve. He blinked really fast and put on his best smile. They deserved to see happy face, no matter how much he wanted to let the tears free-fall.

Kit already being hyper with several children, talked with full body movements along with Ming, mimicking a pair of crazy monkeys. The giggles and laughs were filling the air. The couple were having a great time too. They were funny, playful and really patient toward kids. Having siblings got its perks.

Beam watched them with a sense of relieve. He were slightly worried because they seldomly involved with this kind of event but it seemed Kit and Ming were a natural child's whisperer. Even the shy and soft-hearted Yo tried his best to entertain alongside with the once in the blue moon gentle Pha.

Surprisingly, or not, Pha were the one the children got intimidated with. Due to his tall body and handsome resting gangster face, even adult sometimes got intimidated with Pha. That to be said until a little girl, not older than five, called him 'Prince'. Oh dear, Beam really hoped he could recorded that conversation. P'Forth laughed out loud when Beam told him that at an empty corner of lunch table.

"So what N'Pha do then?"

Beam chuckled.

"He bent his waist and said, 'Yes, milady. What this prince could do for you?' The little girl seemed to think for a moment then blurted out the most demanding marriage proposal that made Pha utterly silent. Then he did the unthinkable. Ai Pha pointed at N'Yo and told her that he already married to another cute prince so he couldn't marry her. What a way to break her little heart. But funny thing is she only shrugged and went to congratulate N'Yo."

Forth clucked loudly which made Beam laughed out loud. "And I got six more proposal than Ai Pha, mind you. This prince is definitely high on demand, thank you very much." Hearing that, Forth gave him a slightly disbelieved smile, definitely doubted his words.

Beam slapped his shoulder hard for that. He's a fine prince! No one shall doubted his words! Forth rubbed his slightly stinged shoulder. When Beam posed like he will pinch him, Forth immediately caught his hands while smiling.

"Sure, sure, you are the handsomest, Prince Beam. No prince were fairer than you. Please accept this lowly man's apology."

Pha's floating voice were suddenly heard by both. "My prince got four more proposal than Prince Beam, you know. So my prince were the handsomest." Which made Beam gave away a mock-scandalized gasped and pulled snickers from Forth.

"Well, to help closing the gap, let me add one proposal to your belt then."

Beam's face showed how confused he felt at hearing that. Forth tried to calm his hammering heart beat.

"Bee, I knew our meeting were unusual. Our relationship started like business deal but I want to change that. I want more, Bee. More of you; more of us."

Forth's words caught him out of guard. What does Forth mean with 'more'? How much more? Beam's eyes clouded with uncertainty, alarming the man in front of him. Forth took Beam's hand once again and gave it a firm squeeze.

"What I mean with more is I want to be your lover. Not your employee, not your patron, but your lover. What do you think about it?"

Beam's words seemed to stick on his throat. Did this guy were right in the head? Beam were nobody. Not rich, not that charming, not mature enough. While Forth.. he already is somebody. Will he be satisfied with Beam as a lover?
