All Night Stands || ForthBeam

Chapter 8

    “Can we go on a date?” Beam asks as they are lying in bed, cuddling. They had talked everything out and now there were no misunderstandings. Beam figured that a night together, just them. A date, a movie maybe, and then coming home and rocking each other's worlds, would be good for them.

    “Sure. Where are you thinking?” Forth asked smiling. Beam sighed and rubbed his hands up and down Forth’s bare chest.

    “I think something simple and nice would be good. I like simple.” He said. Forth smiled and kissed the top of Beam’s head before pushing him up and standing up himself. “What are you doing?” Beam asked, confused.

    “Taking a shower. We’re going on a date.” Beam laughed and nodded.

    “Okay. Well, why don’t you, my handsome boyfriend,” Beam said standing up on the bed. Forth walked over and wrapped his arms around Beam’s waist and Beam’s arms went to Forth’s neck. “Take your shower and I’ll go talk to Yo about something. You can message me the restaurant you pick, and I’ll meet you there.” He said kissing Forth’s cheek. Forth gave a devilish smirk.

    “Or.” He said grabbing Beam’s ass. “You could come take a shower with me.” He said. Beam laughed and pecked Forth on the lips.

    “Go take your shower alone. We’ll have plenty of time tonight to take care of that.” He said jumping off the bed and going to his side of the wardrobe to get dressed.

    Forth shook his head and headed into the bathroom to shower.

    Beam got ready and told Forth his goodbyes before leaving. Forth didn’t let him go without a fight, though. He kept trying to pull Beam into the shower.

    Beam made his way to Yo’s and spoke with him for about fifteen minutes before Forth texted him the restaurant and he left.

    On the way to the restaurant, Beam saw Toei walking down the street so he pulled over.

    Her clothes were drenched in what looked like paint. She also wasn’t wearing a jacket and it was getting cooler the more the sun went down.

    “Toei? Are you okay?” He asked. She smiled and nodded her head.

    “I’m good. I’m just going home to clean myself up. I was working on a project and spilt the paint all over myself. My car is in the shop so I have to walk.” She explained.

    “How far is your apartment?” Beam asked. She tilted her head to think for a moment.

    “About three quaters of a mile.” She said. Beam shook his head.

    “No. get in. I have an apartment just two blocks from here. I’ll take you and you can clean up.” He said, completely forgetting about his date with Forth.

    Toei smiled shyly and nodded, climbing into the car.

    “Thanks.” She said. He shook his head.

    “No problem.”

    About two hours later, Beam received a message from Forth asking where he was. Beam, still forgetting about the date, told him. Not long after, Forth came through the door.

    Beam and Toei were in the kitchen, sitting at the table eating dinner.

    Forth walked in a scoffed.

    “You’re fucking kidding me, right?” He asked rubbing his face. Beam stopped laughing and looked up at him.

    “Why are you so dressed up?” Beam asked. Forth closed his eyes and shook his head. Beam gasped, suddenly remembering they had a date. “Forth, wait.” He said running after Forth who was already heading for the door.

    “No, Beam. I’m not waiting. Not waiting again for you to explain what the hell was going on. First, you don’t let me correct her about being your boyfriend. Then, you lie to me about being with her at the mall. Now, you’ve stood me up, leaving me waiting, and looking stupid, at the restaurant for two hours. I come here to find you and your ex-girlfriend laughing and getting cozy. She’s sitting in there, wearing your clothes, and you guys are eating dinner together.” Forth was raising his voice every sentence.

    “Forth, it seriously isn’t what it looks like.” Beam said trying to grab Forth’s face. Forth slapped Beam’s hands away and backed up.

    “No, Beam. I don’t care what it looks like, or what is really happening.” He said shaking his head. “I’m done.” He said quietly.

    “W-what?” Beam asked.

    “I need space.” He said. “I need space.” He repeated. “Away from this. Away from you. I’m sorry.” He said shaking his head and leaving. Beam felt a tear roll down his cheek and Forth walked out the door.

    “Beam? What date?” Toei asked innocently while smiling on the inside.

    “Get out.” Beam said. “Get out!” He yelled when she didn’t move. This time she did. She gathered her things and ran out the door.

    Beam gathered his things as well and drove as quickly as he could to their apartment. He barged in the door, but Beam was nowhere to be seen.

    “Oh god.” Beam said when he opened Forth’s side of the wardrobe. His travel bag was gone and so were a few clothes. Beam cried harder as he looked for the small velvet box, not finding it.

    He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed Kit’s number.

    “Beam?” Kit asked as he answered. “Why are you calling so late. It’s almost ten.”

    “I messed up. I messed up bad. I need you guys.” Beam said as he sobbed.

    “O-okay. We’ll be over in just a little bit.”

    Forth knocked on Janes door twice before she finally answered.

    “Forth?” She said surprised when she opened the door. “What happened?” She asked as she pulled him inside her apartment and closed the door.

    “Beam and I had a fight, sort of. I did most of the yelling.” He said as he sat down on her couch. “Can I stay here tonight?” He asked. She sighed and nodded her head.

    “Of course. Talk to me, though, what happened?” She asked.

    “We were supposed to go on a date, but he stood me up. He stood me up and was with his ex-girlfriend. I was so hurt when I walked in on them laughing and eating dinner together.” He said as he began to cry. Ever since his ex showed up, everything has changed. We used to be so close, we never lied to each other. He were intimate every day. Now, all we do is kiss and Beam lied to me. He lied to me about being with her.” He said shrugging. “I don’t even know if I wanna purpose anymore.”
