Encounter

Chapter 44

A/N: I'm so sorry for not including a lot of fluff. (ok there was barely any)
I'm just a sucker for angst. I went a bit overboard with it. (Maybe too overboard).
I'm a newbie writer so it will take a bit of time to get the grasp of how much i should include in each story and when i should stop. I have way too many dark ideas in my head and i wrote them down in one story. (Which wasn't a good idea).
 I'll try to include as much fluff as possible in the following chapters so please forgive me. 🙏

Forth's pov:

The next day i woke up before Beam. I slowly got out of bed and took a shower.

Last night's events were playing in my head.

She said Uncle David....

Is he related to Beam?

When i came out of the bathroom Beam was sitting on the bed leaning on the headboard.

"I know you have a lot of questions. Come here." He patted the bed next to him.

I went and sat down.

"That woman yesterday is my step aunt Fai. That guy is her husband." He answered my unasked question.

I gulped the nervousness down.

"We don't have a very good relationship with aunt Fai after she married him. We could tell he was bad news the moment we met him. But she's so in love with him that she won't believe anything we say. She stopped talking to mom and dad altogether because they tried to talk her out of marrying him. But she talks to me very rarely." He explained.

I looked down and fiddled with my fingers.

"Forth look at me." He gently cupped my cheek and turned me to look at him.

"Don't think even for a second that this is your fault. Because it's not. That guy is a bastard and he deserves whatever he's going to get. Don't blame yourself for anything. You have done nothing wrong. And wouldn't you also want her to get away from someone like him?"

I pursed my lips and nodded.

"You don't have to worry about anything. We'll take care of it." He moved closer, pecked my forehead and stroked my hair.

I leaned into the touch.

I felt warmth brew inside me.

Beam is able to give me a sense of warmth and safety with just a mere touch.

I know i will be safe as long as he's beside me.

I pounced on him making him fall on his back.

"Woah!" He yelped.

I wrapped my arms around him tightly and nuzzled my face in his chest.

His arms snaked around me as well.

"My boyfriend is so adorable." He chuckled.

I could feel my face heating up at the compliment. 

I buried my face deeper into his chest making him laugh even more. 

Just then there was a knock on the door. 

"Beam, Forth are you guys awake?" Mom called out. 

"Yeah!" Beam answered. 

"Good. Come on out for breakfast then." She said. 

"We'll be there in a few minutes." Beam called back. 

I got up. 

"I'll take a quick shower and clean up. You go on ahead. I'll be out in a few minutes." He also stood up.
