CH 16 - Kiss

Kit POV

"Beam this is cheating."

Beam carries on ignoring me as he gets another number from one of the girls he's been flirting with. I think it's unfair, Forth isn't even here! I eat the roasted peanuts on the table, I want real food but he won't let me go eat, stupid Beam.

I check my phone again when it vibrates, Ming's on his way, and Forth is coming straight from work. I smile at the girl sitting opposite me, I wasn't in the mood for this I wanted to go home and order a pizza. I hope Ming gets here soon, then I can sneak off and maybe get a sandwich. Usually, I think of Pha to come save me, when did I start depending on Ming?

I try to make conversation with the girl but my mind keeps wandering. The last few weeks since I met him things have been...different. At first, it was because I didn't want to cause problems for Pha, but now I looked forward to seeing him. I had lunch most days with Pha and Beam, but nearly every other night I found myself with Ming.

I didn't mind, it was fun. I'm sure he's spending time with me because he doesn't know many people in the city, but once he meets more, he won't have time to call me, or text me, or come see me so much. Why does that bother me?

Not just Ming, but Yo and Forth too, it's the first time the doctor's gang let anyone get so close, spending time together. The four of us often, me and Ming refereed while Forth and Beam fought. I don't know why but Forth's, I don't really care attitude seemed to piss Beam off more than anything. Personally, I think he had a complex, he always lost to Pha, he hated losing to anyone else.

A few times the six of us, eating and talking. I'm sure they wanted to be alone, but Ming and Beam didn't listen, barging in and taking over. The way Yo watched Pha, with so much love it was hard to not be mesmerised.

I noticed that first night, Yo looking at the picture as Pha and Beam argued. I may be wrong but I got the feeling he felt left out. He wasn't in any of them. The last time we were out, I took a picture of Pha feeding Yo, who smiled happily at him. I hope Yo liked the framed picture.

I try to make a run for it but Beams watching like a hawk, now I'm praying for Forth to get here it's the only way Beam will be distracted enough for me to sneak away and get something to eat. Why the hell was I afraid of Beam anyway? Because he could rant me to death if I didn't obey.

I sigh in relief seeing Ming, he's still wearing a suit. Stupid Beam, ask if people are free. I make room as Ming takes off his jacket and sits next to me finishing my drink.

"You're late Ming." Beam smiles. "I already have 7 numbers."

"That's not fair!" Ming argues. "They don't count!"

"Where are you coming from?" I ask Ming.

"Meeting." He smiles. "Yo ran home, I had to keep the old guys busy."

"We dropped Pha off before coming too, Yo was waiting at the door." I can't help smiling, it was cute.

"They should just run away and live on an island." Ming chuckles.

"Don't give Pha ideas." I shake my head.

I look past Ming, surprised Beam hasn't said anything, I see him glaring at the door. Forth has arrived. Why was he dressed smartly as well, he worked at a construction company, he usually was in casual clothes. He was only wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and black formal shoes but it gave him an air of elegance.

"Don't ask." Forth sits opposite Beam, dropping the bag next to him.

"But I want to know." Ming asks.
