Forth.

I was not in a good mood beforehand and this bloke just made it worst, my thoughts are all over the place as I press the brakes real tight and my bike comes to a standstill inches in front of those spread legs, shaking in fear.

"Dude, what the actual fuck, you want to die!", I really am in a mood today. My mum had been pestering me about my failing grades this morning, the disappointed look in dad's eyes was a slap in the face indeed and now this! I mean could my day get any worse. My menacing glare goes unnoticed behind my helmet as the guy in front of me pleads with his hands pressed together.

"Please please please drop me off at Chiang Mai University. It's my finals today and my brother took my car and I lost my wallet!"

The boy in front of me is attractive, I will give him that. With his eyes screwed shut and his hands folded in front of me, in his white shirt and black pants, he looks devastatingly handsome. And vulnerable. And that makes my heart skip a beat.

I want to tease him a little.

"Why should I?", I ask making my voice as rude as possible.

His head snaps up and there is a spark of annoyance in his eyes that he tames in a second, the slight clenching of his jaw that showed his anger which he subdued because this boy seems desperate.

He schools his features so fast that I almost got whiplash and it excites me.

He comically widens his eyes, and looks at me with such innocence that I want to taint him from deep within. His doe like eyes and that little pout he forms, unconsciously that draws my attention to those bow shaped lips.

"Please, I have a very important test today and I promise, I'll give you anything you ask for. A favor, just this once."

That statement unleashes a slew of dirty thoughts in my head, the thoughts I want to voice. The thoughts that makes my insides soft and another part of me, the opposite.

I try and suppress my damned imagination. He looks desperate and it's not like I am going somewhere else. After all, I am an engineering student there.

"Hop on", I ask him.

"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!" He smiles this wideass smile that makes me want to smile back in return.

"I am Beam, by the way.", he says as he gets on the rearseat of my bike.

"Call me Forth."

"Can you speed up a bit", he sounds impatient as we head towards the University.

The sass on that statement makes me want to slow my bike down to aggravate him more. But I remember the expressions from my parents when they saw my results and I don't want him to be in the same predicament as me. By the looks of how he begged me to get to the University, he cares about his grades more than I do.

I accelerate the bike and he just plasters himself onto me. There is a sharp intake of breath and his arms are encircling my torso, his front pressed tight to my back, his chin on the nape of my neck. I shiver as his warm breathe caresses my neck. What the fuck is wrong with me. Its not like I hadn't unloaded myself in the shower this morning.

"Scared?", I tease him.

"No." The defiance in his voice is so adorable because I can feel his heart pounding on my back.

He yeets himself off the bike so fast as soon as I stop in front of the university.

His legs are shaking still and he bows in sincere thanks.

"You're buying lunch after exam, give me your line", I ask him, pulling out my phone for him to give me his number.

"You study here too?" He looks so bewildered and takes the phone off my hand.

"Yeah, I'm a third year Computer Engineering Student." I reply back and pull off my helmet.

"I'm in my second year of med school. Let's meet at the cafeteria at Medicine faculty at, say 2?" He gives me back my phone.

"Gotta go, it's semester finals today!" He takes off like a cheetah, running off to his faculty.

I've dated quite a few men and women in my life but him, his smile and that enthusiasm somehow makes him extremely handsome, I ponder parking my bike.

" I can not believe that Dr K put that on our quiz. I mean we haven't seen that case ever. I didn't even think to study it. I mean come on!" He is whining to me about his quiz as if I understand anything he is telling me.

His exaggerated frown and the way he keeps going off about how he screwed up the test makes me want to laugh out loud. His elaborative hand gestures and the way he is talking so animatedly about his tests makes me wonder how interested he is in his major. And even though I understand naught a word, I want to hear him talk, so I nod and speak a word of encouragement or two.

This boy continues to surprise me when the cheque came after lunch. That damn look with those pleading eyes, those-doe-caught-in-headlights eyes, "Could you pay for the lunch? I forgot I lost my wallet."

I roll my eyes and pay for the food. As we are getting up, I feel tug at my shirt, there he is, with the same expression, "Can you please drop me off home too?"

Boys and girls and that is how, I got a new best friend.

-XOXOX-

This Is supposed to be a one shot that I just had to write it out but like all my thoughts this took a life of its own.. I'll probably finish this in a couple of chapters. Please leave a comment. Constructive criticism is appreciated.
