3rd Person POV

Today is Beam's birthday. He rose up early in the morning and went to the café and baked himself a cake to share with grandma and Kit. He planned to ask for an early off so that he could treat himself on his special day.

*

Forth Jaturapoom was sleeping soundly. He was snoring with his mouth slightly opened. His arms draped around a pillow while his body is covered with soft and comfortable duvet. It is enough to make him warm against the coldness inside his room for he was sleeping only with his boxer shorts. It was fine weekend. He was enjoying his rest day.

Suddenly, a loud ringing of the phone accompanied with constant vibrations disturbed Forth. He abruptly moved without knowing he was near the edge causing him to fell off his bed with a loud thud. He cursed and groaned due to the impact. He stood up with a hand massaging his back while the other was reaching for his phone. When he got a hold of it, without looking he answered the phone and placed it near his ear.

"Forth Jaturapoom! I swear to hell, if you can't be here before 8:00 AM, I'll surely disown you and forget that you ever had a mother as beautiful as me! Get it?!" He was about to open his mouth to answer when the call was cut off.

He slumped back to bed before glancing in the clock hanged on the wall. It says, 7:30. He cursed in his breathe as he quickly run towards the bathroom to get his self ready. Forth was literally running for his beloved life. He was about to look at himself at the mirror when he accidentally stumbled on the feet of his desk. Again he was cursing while jumping and biting his lower lip to surpressed the pain. When he was back on his feet, for the last time he glanced at the mirror before grabbing his car keys and leaving his condominium.

He was driving home when his phone vibrated. Slowing down his car's speed, Forth took a glance of who it was.

Forth, your mae forgot to tell you to pick up the cake she ordered at Grandma's Café. Hurry up!

-Por

Forth grunted in frustration as he maneuvered his car to the other direction. He was mumbling to himself on why his mae would let him pick up a cake from a place that was on another way. He was tapping his fingers on the steering wheel as he drive.

Upon arriving in front of the café, Forth parked his luxurious car. He was annoyed that he went out of his way for a stupid cake. He walked with longer strides towards the entrance. He was welcomed by the soothing scent of different delicacies blending with the aroma of beverages served to the costumers. He could feel the stares of the people inside the café. Who would not glance at him, he is handsome and the way he dressed himselful made him looked like an actor from a korean drama except that he was slightly tanned which also added to his hotness.

He forward himself towards the counter. There he encountered the only person in the café who is not distracted by his god-like appearance. The waiter was so busy arranging their products on the shelf that he did not even noticed Forth's presence.

Forth cleared his throat to get the boy's attention. The latter looked back making Forth froze on where he was standing. The waiter looked so innocent with his fair skin, button nose, mesmerizing eyes and cherry-red lips. One would not believed that he works as a waiter. So, Forth thought that maybe he was the owner's nephew or something.

"Good Morning, Sir! What can I get you?" Forth was brought back to his senses. He was thinking that even the boy's voice sounds nice.

He mentally slapped himself for what he was doing and tried to act as cool as he can be.

"I'm here to fetch, a cake ordered by Mrs. Jaturapoom." He uttered. He was irritated that the boy was able to concentrate on his work and not minding who is in front of him.

The boy gestured him to wait on one of the tables. Then left him to get the cake. Forth felt more irritated than he already was when he saw the boy walking towards him without the cake.

"Sir, I'm sorry but are you sure you ordered the cake beforehand?" The waiter asked with confusion written all over his face. Forth's blood boiled.

"Are you saying that I'm dumb?" Forth glared at the boy. He was really angered that it was already past 8:30 and he is still not home. The waiter shook his and uttered a 'no'.

"I've check all the listed orders, sir. But yours wasn't there." The latter said in a very low voice while looking down.

"How disrespectful?! Is that how you're parents thought you? Didn't they tell you to look at the person you're talking to?!" Forth can't control himself. All his pent up frustrations were being released to the boy in front of him.

"FORTH!" A aggravated voice called his attention. He glanced at the person. "Kit?!" He yelled in surprised while the other person beside him continued to looked down.

Kit approached where they were standing. "Beam, go to the kitchen I'll handle this." Beam was able to slightly nod his head as response.

When Beam was out of sight, Kit turned to smack Forth's head. The latter was caught off guard. "Great! You made your costumer wait and now you're hurting him, so much for costumer service." Forth mumbled with sarcasm. But Kit did not mind.

"You should have not say that to Beam, Forth!" The kitten spat and he glared at him.

"I was just helping his parents straighten him up--" Forth jokingly said but Kit cut him. " He is an orphan, Jerk!" Leaving Forth alone on his table.

Guilt is starting to eat him up. He got lost for words.

When Beam got inside the kitchen, he remembered the cake he baked earlier so he checked and added more decorations on it before wrapping it up and leaving a note to Kit.

The moment Kit arrived inside the kitchen, only grandma was there. He looked at grandma and the latter pointed the cake with the note.

Kit, sorry for the trouble. Please give this to Mr.-who-fecthed-Mrs. Jaturapoom's order. I got off early to run some errands for the orphanage. Thank you!

-Beam :)

Kit knew that it was all excuses but he didn't bother and delivered the cake to Forth.
