AMONG HIM

I Don't Wanna Love You Anymore

Sunshine smiled broadly at the sight of a strapping man wearing a black t-shirt leaning against a roadblock, while his luxury car was parked on the shoulder of the road. A smile from Richard when he saw himself.

“A long time ago ?” tanya Sunshine immediately hugged the brownish blonde man, even though only a pat on his back, he was quite happy because Richard agreed to the request to be picked up on the set.

“Not too long, Sunny.” short Richard when hugs unravel. Sunshine really liked Richard's call to him “Sunny” is not like people at home and most know him. The sunshine. Although it was his real name, given Ricchi, his papa.

Richard opened the car door for Sunshine, they had a smile before Sunshine sat in the passenger seat.

“Dine at Redbird Resto ?” richard said while installing the seatbelt.

“Iya.” Brief Sunshine who continued to observe Richard's movements with his chest pounding.

Yes ! Sunshine fell in love with the man, probably from the first moment he saw him. Back when he was 16, when Shadow first took his college friend on vacation in Los Angeles.

At that time Sunshine was still shy and only dared to look at Richard from a distance, although sometimes he could finally chat for a while with sweat soaked the body because of not confidence. Richard is Sunshine's first love, in the mind he keeps dreaming of being able to date a normal guy like his age.

As an actress who pursued a career from an early age, Sunshine has many fans both on social media and even in real life. Not a few who blatantly say in love with him, including his co-stars in the film, but he refused. Sunshine could not replace Richard's position in his heart. With a very busy filming schedule but when the man came on vacation, Sunshine emptied as much as possible 2-3 days to stay at home.

Sunshine enjoys chicken with garlic mushroom sauce – play his dinner menu with a happy heart, of course the food he has been accustomed to eat especially in Redbird is his family's favorite restaurant. Richard was the source of his happiness that night.

“I contacted Shadow, but she didn't reply to my message.” Richard looked straight at Sunshine. Although the words of the man made his heart disappointed, he tried to sing a thin smile.

“My sister is busy. He was thinking about his first film project as a director at Farubun and Maheswara, Rich.” Sunshine's a little tart. Honestly he gets jealous whenever the guy brings up his brother.

For God's sake, Shadow and Richard aren't dating. They were just friends, Sunshine thought. Until they finished their education, the two remained friends. That convinced Sunshine to approach Richard, picking up his first love.

“I know that too, Sunny. But your brother has never returned my message at all, since our return from Indonesia.” Upset Richard while putting his spoon and fork, he then grabbed a glass filled with wine and sipped slowly.

Sunshine snatched away and then did the same with the man in front of him, chugging down the wine in a hurry. His throat was dry, his mood suddenly changed.

“Actually why do you keep looking for Sis Shadow, Rich ? We just got back from Indonesia 2 weeks ago. Do you have a movie project together ?” Sunshine rolled his eyes lazily, he had lost his appetite.

Richard suddenly noticed the change in tone of Sunshine's speech, and he immediately carved out a wide smile, returning the black-haired girl's blood to rustle.

“Continue your dinner, beautiful yes. About Shadow let me think for myself later also I will meet him when driving you home.” Persuade Richard gently.

Sushine inevitably grabbed back her spoon and fork, she let out a long sigh while looking at the owner of the beautiful jaw in front of her. His girlfriend who was looking at him, I don't know what

thought by Richard, Sunshine could only pray in the mind, hoping that if their feelings were the same.

Loving on the side is so painful.

…

“No !” liam said in a rather high voice, his narrow eyes widened with both hands clutched in the chest.

Shadow shrieked at his father's unusual tone, and turned his gaze to Ricchi, his papa sitting next to Dee, the house's consort. Her father was not helpful, the middle-aged man looked as thoughtful as Liam.

“Daddy is not out of thought. Where does such a thought come from in your head, Shadow . You work at Farubun and Maheswara but want to live in an apartment ? Mandiri you say ? No ! You're still a baby to us, Shadow. You're only 23 years old, you don't have a boyfriend. Oh no ! As long as you're a girl, I won't let you stay in the apartment.”  Liam sharpened every word that came out on his lips.

Shadow took a deep breath “It looks like I'll never get married, Dad.” Shadow spoke, his bead clashing against his father's narrow eyes standing right in front of him.

“What did you say?” sahut Liam hissing

Dee got up from the sofa and held her husband's hand, Ricchi approached her eldest son.

“Kak, already. Brother Liam has been too hard on Shadow.” Persuade Dee, his mother while stroking the tall man's back.

“In New York Shadow lives in an apartment, Dad. Why can't L. A ? Shadow wants to stay alone, no trouble father, mother and papa.”

“Shadow !” liam's strangulation was held back by Dee's stuffing on his mouth. The man was then dragged by his wife to the front room.

Ricchi shook his head at Liam's emotional explosion, a rare and perhaps novel occurrence since their children grew up. Usually Liam will be angry with regard to office problems,

not something like what's happening right now.

“Never bring this up again in front of your father, Shadow. The decision is final.” Ricchi rubbed the back of his son who had been curled up in the arms.

“But if papa himself, do approve if Shadow stay independent ?” muttered Shadow

Ricchi exhaled as he stared at the front room, so he heard Dee's voice advising Liam.

“Palau papa allows but everything in this house is decided by the most votes. Your mom and dad are just like that, son. Papa can't fight those 2 guys.”

“But pa, my friends who are my age have lived independently. They are embarrassed if they are still in line with their parents.” Shadow's pretext while pursing his lips.

“Yes. Your friends live independently, Shadow. But with his partner. Without getting married.” Ricchi said growling, he could not let his baby live so freely, even they live in America such a thing is something ordinary.

“Shadow can take care of herself, Pa. Shadow has no girlfriend. At least until now.”

Ricchi pushed his son's body slowly so that he could see Shadow's face clearly

“Here.. There's no need for a girlfriend's label to live together, Shadow. Papa's fear is if there's a guy you know for a second, then

that jerk is taking advantage of the opportunity of yourself living alone. You fall into free life. At times like that, you won't listen to us anymore. Your life will only dwell on that man's blind love.”

Shadow squeezed the top of his head in an anxious “Yes, Pa. Shadow did not think that far.”

“Keep what makes you want to live independently, son ? While your work still needs guidance from both of us, even in the office we definitely meet.”

Ricchi's eyes glared, he shook his head in disbelief the words of his son “Since when did this house not give you peace, Shadow ?”

The melodious silence made Shadow hold back his papa question, he turned his head to look at the two figures standing up while muttering hands.

Yes ! they were the reason Shadow wanted to get out of the residence of his parents, Richard and Sunshine.

Richard who lately often drove his sister home from filming, making him tired of facing his heart that hurts to see the intimacy of the couple.

“Pa, Shadow tired. We'll talk to mom and dad again.” His words briefly peeked at Ricchi's cheeks then moved from the sofa. Shadow continued walking without even turning to Richard, Sunshine himself moved towards the kitchen either taking something from the refrigerator.

Shadow was just about to close the door of his room, but Richard had stood up and held back the door with his firm hands. The tall, burly man barged into Shadow's room without asking permission from the owner.

“We need to talk, Shadow.” Richard sat his body on the edge of the soft bed belonging to the tall girl who was leaning on the door of the room with glittering eyes.

“Nothing to talk about, Rich.” Shadow Sahut cold

Richard stood up and approached the girl who had never escaped his mind, a glimpse of Shadow was about to dodge but he swiftly trapped Shadow in his arm.

“Why are you avoiding me, Shadow ? Since you were in Bali you didn't give me a good reason. Now back in Los Angeles you're acting the same way. I always take Sunny home to see you. But what do I get ? You never showed your face in front of me.” Richard put his head close to Shadow's pretty face. The girl suddenly fell silent.

“Actually my fault where, baby ?” Richard ventured to touch Shadow's smooth cheek. Just then the beads of their eyes met, Shadow blinked beautifully.

The man with the sturdy jaw had the end of a small growl before anchoring his lips to the red lips of the girl who had never wanted a bond more than a friend with him.

“I miss you, Shadow.” Erang Richard deepened his kisses, tongue exploring and interlinking in there. Shadow responded to his kiss, this was an advance Richard's inner cry.

A clear liquid fell on Shadow's cheek, his emotions and all his frustration decaying in one kiss that had yet to be separated from Richard. And his self-control was lost to the man's touch.

“Richard ? Are you inside?” the knock on the door resuscitated Shadow and directly pushed the man's body hard backwards. Sunshine's voice restored Shadow's consciousness, and he rushed into the room

baths. He did not care about Richard anymore, especially if his sister managed to take possession of the man.

Long enough Shadow was in the bathroom, she stared at his face in the reflection of a minimalist framed mirror.

There were no words to define his feelings at the time. Necklaces ? messy and maybe cheap.

After convincing himself that Richard and Sunshine had left, he came out of the bathroom. Absolutely, there was no one in the room measuring 4x6 square meters other than himself and his heart turmoil.

Shadow walked towards the glass window of his room which was very wide, he could look at the yard of the house as well as the front road from where he stood. Richard's luxury car was parked right on a small rocky road that led directly to the large door of their residence.

Wait ! Shadow rubbed his eyes to confirm the faintly plastered scene below.

Richard was kissing his sister Sunshine ! The same kiss he had half an hour ago.

Fuck ! screeched Shadow with a blurred look. As soon as the feeling of emotion reigned over his mind, he also hated himself who was very cheap to dissolve in the pit of sin a moment ago.

The black haired girl clenched her hands and rushed back inside the bathroom, she picked up a toothbrush and brushed her teeth after putting white paste on top of it. While crying Shadow kept brushing his toothbrush until he was unconscious had injured his own gums.

He has to get out of this house ! his screams.

Even if he had to fight Liam, his father would be taken by Shadow.

He had seen Richard enough. Shadow did not want to have a life like his three parents, sharing affection under one roof. He clearly does not have the soul of Ricchi's sloop, the papa. His heart ached, even Shadow did not yet know clearly Richard's relationship with Sunshine.

His first love had run aground, he would not let Richard approach him again. Let the man belong to Sunshine. Shadow will be looking for another man.

Yes, a new love may be more suitable in these conditions.
