Thank You for Loving Me

New Neighbor

Beam POV

Our family lives a simple life. We have apartments for rent as a means of sustenance. Some stay for years while others just mere months.

I was in high school that time. I went home around 5:30PM from school. While walking to the direction of our house, I saw a huge truck pass me by. It stopped right in front of our house which intrigued me. I quickly ran to our doorstep, thinking that mama might have bought new home appliances.

But when I got closer, I noticed that the movers where unloading non-brand new items. Perhaps we have a new neighbor? The thought made me happy. I'll have a new playmate! A new friend!

I ran inside in a rush to get in the know. I saw my parents talking to a woman in her forties. When Papa saw me, he told me to come over and introduced me to our new neighbor. "This is Beam, our youngest. Beam, she's our new neighbor, your Aunt Luchie. She and her family will occupy the unit beside ours."

I smiled widely. "Hi Aunt Luchie! Welcome to the neighborhood. Hope you'll enjoy your new house!" I'm one of those hyperactive kids that's usually the adults get fond of. Coupled by my effeminate features of having fair skin, long lashes, and a charming smile, I can say that I was well liked.

"Wow! You're so cute baby boy!" Aunt Luchie greeted back. "Well, it seems like my youngest son too will not be sad since he'll have some one like Beam here. How old are you dear?"

"I'm 14 yrs old already Auntie. Where's your son by the way? How old is he?" I inquired eagerly.

"He's older by a year." She answered. "He's there with the movers helping out."

I left the adults to continue their conversation and went to my room to change out of my uniform. I ran back out and into the unit beside us which will be occupied by Aunt Luchie's family so I can personally get to know her son.

Once inside, I saw a young man leaning on a wall, shirtless with his eyes closed. He has a nice physique, reminiscent of someone who's into hard labor. His chest and arms had defined curves making him quite manly. As my eyes explored his body more, I noticed the bulge in his crotch area. I remember thinking how big it was and it made me speechless.

Moments later, getting the feeling that there was someone else in the room, the young man opened his eyes and saw me. "Who are you? I'm Forth, we just moved here."

"Whew!" Exasperated our new neighbor. "So tiring... those things are heavy."

I smiled and introduced myself. "I'm Beam phi, I'm the son of the landlord."

P'Forth was visibly embrassed because he didn't expect to be speaking with the landlord's son. He probably taught I'm some big wig and began giving reverence like the son of the president. He gave me a seat and also got one for himself. We began exchanging stories from the absurd to funny ones.

All the while, I was able to look at his face clearly. I smiled because I liked what I saw. He had this tame face like he's a kind guy. He has mocha colored skin and seemed to have a gummy smile.

Suddenly, P'Forth spoke, "I think we'll enjoy staying in this new house because I have a new buddy and partner in everything I do. Above all, he's so cute. Hehe!"

We both burst out laughing but what P'Forth didn't know was my heart beat fast after hearing what he said. His words echoed inside my head "buddy and partner in everything..." What did he mean by that?

I also helped in tidying up their place soon after. I told P'Forth and Aunt Luchie that I was leaving after were done. It was already dark outside so I needed to go home even if it wss just next door. On my way out, I saw a man who had the same skintone as P'Forth but was relatively younger than Aunt Luchie.

"Are you P'Forth's sibling?" I asked the guy.

"Yes, my name is Earth, I'm Forth's phi chai." The burly man answered.

"I'm Beam, I'm the landlord's youngest son. Anyway, P'Earth, nice to meet you! See you around." I said before going through our door. In fairness, P'Earth looked so handsome and manly but I still liked P'Forth more.

That night, I slept late because I kept on recounting P'Forth's words: "buddy and partner in everything..." I felt so kilig and excited to be with P'Forth again tomorrow since it's the weekend and we don't have classes. I wanted to push to time to go faster until I fell asleep daydreaming about P'Forth.

The next day I rushed to the bathroom to clean up and go next door. I even surprised myself when I used perfume. I was amused because I was really making an effort to be charming in such an early hour. Haha!

Next door, I saw P'Forth who still had bedhair. "Hey, it's late already!", though it was only 6AM. Maybe I just had nothing to say to greet him properly.

P'Forth smiled and said, "Oh, so you wake up early too? We're really a match nong."

I felt like I was about to faint with what I heard. "Match?" What does he mean really by match?

I saw his cock bulging madly in his shorts. He doesn't seem to be wearing any undies so it was really making a tent. I grinned but P'Forth didn't notice it.

Weeks passed, P'Forth and I spent lots of time together when there's no school. We play, sometimes he'll spend the night in my room. Everyday was a happy day and we were more like lovers than just neighbors. He'll ask my permission to go somewhere and he'll fetch me in school and carry my bag for me. I got used to always be with P'Forth.

One Friday afternoon, it was already our dismissal time but I didn't see any shadow of P'Forth in our usual waiting spot. It was odd. I sadly and irritably started walking home by myself. Why didn't he tell me that he won't be able to fetch me today.

On my way home, I met one of P'Forth's classmates. "Hoy, are you friends with Forth?"

"Yes, why do you--" The guy suddenly pushed me and I landed on a muddy spot. Just in time, P'Forth arrived and saw everything. He ran towards us and punched the guy who pushed me.

"Lay another hand on my love and I'll end you!" He threatened. "Don't dare me asshole!"

The obnoxious guy fleed for his life. P'Forth turned to me and helped me get up. I fell down badly so it was hard for me to move so P'Forth offered to carry me on his back. I declined though because it will be too much of a burden.

I don't know if I should feel kilig or scared when I heard P'Forth addressed me as "my love". P'Forth loves me? Why? What kind of love? As a friend, as a what? I was deliberating while absent-mindedly walking and assisted by P'Forth.

"Why are you quiet.", asked phi.

"Nothing. Just a bit tired, I guess from school and got into an incident even."

"Sorry I was late. If only I arrived earlier you wouldn't experience this. Starting today, I'll always be early and I'll make sure that this incident will not happen again." P'Forth assured me.

My heart drummed wildly. Is this love? What if my parents found out? I don't want to bring shame to my family. I felt both excitement and fear at the same time. Then when we got home, everything returned to normal.
