Chapter 10

BEAM POV

“Beam?” I heard Beer calling my name as I heard her footsteps get closer to the door.

    I pushed Forth off of me for real this time and adjusted myself before picking up and picture and looking at it again. Not a second later she busted into the room with a smile on her face that dropped immediately after she saw us.

    “Oh.” She said before smiling again as she looked at how messed up my hair was and how Forth’s outfit wasn’t fixed yet. “What were you guys doing?” She asked, narrowing her eyes at us.” I shrugged and held up the picture.

    “Nothing.” I said, still a little out of breath. She looks at me suspiciously before nodding.

    “Sure, okay. Everyone was just wondering where you were. I guess I can tell them you are with Forth.” She said before turning around.

    “No!” I said loudly and held my hands out to stop her. “I mean,” I straightened up and fixed my outfit once again. “We were just looking at old pictures. We’re coming down now. I found some old pictures that our parents might want to see.” I said before picking up a box of the old pictures and pushing past Beer out into the hall.

    My mind was racing with thoughts of what had just gone down between Forth and me, and I must admit, I didn’t hate it. It felt amazing but I didn’t. I mean, I did, but not about doing it while my “date” was downstairs with our parents. The same ones that want him to marry my sister.

    “Sorry it took so long.” I said setting the box down on the table and sitting back down in my seat. Forth and Beer came walked in the room a few moments later. “Forth and I found this old box of photos from when we were young.” I said pulling a few pictures out.

    “Aww.” My mom said picking up the picture that I had picked up earlier. The one of Forth and me. “You guys were so close.” My mom said showing the picture to Forth’s mom.

    Bank’s hand found its way onto my knee again. I could feel him being more possessive this time. His hand didn’t stay in the same area this time around. He moved it up and down a little and then began to move up my leg. I was already still half hard from what had occurred upstairs and I could feel Bank’s hand getting closer and closer to my hard on. I gasped slightly and stood up quickly.

    “I’m going to get dessert.” I said. “Bank, help me.” I said pulling him up a little.

    I pulled him into the kitchen and made sure no one was listening before asking him what the hell he was doing.

    “What do you mean?” He asked innocently as he wrapped his hands around my waist and pushed me up against the counter.

    “Seriously Bank.” I said turning my head before he could kiss me. I crossed my arms.

    “Why are you such a prude?” He asked. I looked at him with disbelief.

    “What the hell did you just say to me?” I asked. He chuckled and shook his head.

    “Look, that’s not what I meant. What I mean is why don’t you just let me touch you. You never let me touch you. We’ve been hanging out for a while now and we haven’t even had sex. What’s up with that?” He questions placing his hands on either side of me and leaning on them. I laugh and shake my head.

    “Are you seriously trying to pressure me into having sex with you right now?” I asked. I pushed passed him, but he grabbed onto my arm.

    “I’m not pressuring you into anything.” He said. “Maybe if you would just have sex with me already then I would stop.” He said shrugging. I yanked my arm out of his grasp.
    “I will never have sex with you if this is who you are. And touching my under the table. In the same room as my parents and-”

    “And Forth?” He asked interrupting me. My heart jumped at the sound of his name.

    “What the hell is that supposed to mean?” I asked crossing my arms again.

    “I see the way he looks at you. I’m not stupid.” He said sneering.

    “Is there a problem?” Forth asked interrupting our argument but entering the kitchen. We both turned and looked up at him.

    “No.” I said shaking my head and smiling as if hadn’t just fought with Bank about having sex with him. “Can you get the brownies out of the oven?” I asked. Forth nodded his head and did as I told him too.

    I could feel the tension in the room and for the rest of the night. When Bank left I didn’t even say bye or anything of the likes. I just wanted him to leave.

    God, he was so fake around my parents and everyone. He still managed to make everything about him though. And Forth staring at me all night was not helping my little problem go away.

Bank tried to text me after he left telling me he was sorry, but I ignored him. Why would I text him back if he was trying to pressure me into sex?

After everyone had left and I was cleaning up the kitchen mom walked in and sat down at the island.

    “I can tell that you aren’t happy.” She said out of nowhere causing me to stop what I was doing and laugh nervously.

    “What?”

    “With Bank, or in general. I see the way you tensed up around him. I know that you think that you’ll never find someone to be happy with, but don’t spend any more time with Bank. I don’t like him.” She admitted. I laughed and shook my head.

    “Mom, what are you talking about?” I question.

    “Look, Beam I’m only gonna say this once, so listen carefully.” She said. I nodded and let her continue. “You are my son and Beer is my daughter. You two are my kids and the only thing I want for my kids is for them to lead a happy and healthy life. I told the doctors before each of you were born that I don’t care about your gender or anything like that as long as you are healthy, and you are. Beer is doing amazing in life. You have maybe two more years before you become an amazing doctor. There is not a mother in this world that could be prouder of her kids, then I am of you two. I don’t care that your gay or that Beer is straight. I don’t care if either one of you has biological kids or adopts. I don’t care if you ever marry someone, or live alone in life with thirty-one cats. I don’t care because it isn’t my life. I will want whatever you want. I may not know a lot, but what I do know is that you are not happy with Bank. They way you tense when he touches you sometimes. That’s not how you are supposed to feel around someone you love.

    I also know that the way you act around Forth is different. You like him, I can tell. Mothers intuition. I also see the way he looks at you. I’ve already talked to Beer and I know how she really feels about Forth. Now, all that is left is that you come to terms with how you feel and go get the man of your dreams.” She said smiling wide. She stood up and patted my back before walking away.

    “It’s not that easy.” I said. She turned around at the doorway and shrugged.

    “I don’t see why the hell it’s not.”
