Be My Soldier Forever

Ep. 63

Alice POV

 

I feel so embarrassed by Kenny's behavior, I can't believe he just stood there like a statue and just stared at them. I took him to the backyard from the view of Adrian and Alan.

“Are you crazy! You just stand there and just stare at them, not cleaning up the shards of pots you accidentally threw away.” Shouts whisper.

“Sorry, I was by accident, I was shocked to see two handsome guys standing in front of me, especially to your brother, it caught me off guard.” He shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal, to be honest I don't feel sure, he felt very flattered at the two of them. All I could do was sigh and walk towards the door.

“They are not that handsome.” I said and turned around.

“Yes, of course you don't see him that handsome because he's your brother. But for the other girls out there, they must have seen him very handsome, including me. She is also very cute.” He smiled mischievously at me, my cheeks flushed a little and my ears burned.

“Come, we'll just go.” I muttered softly, we both walked out to see Alan and Adrian sitting talking to each other, I could see Alan was talking about something to end their conversation and looked at us with a big smile, I looked suspiciously at her and wanted to know what she was keeping secret, but I ignored her. Kenny confidently walked towards them and extended his hand.

“Halo, you.” Say it with his accent.”Sorry, about that. I'm just a little stunned to see you guys. My name is Kenny.” He smiled, Alan clasped his hand and pulled him closer to her.

“Wah, hello, Kenny, I'm Alan and what's that sundanese ksen I heard just now?” He winks at her, Kenny giggles and nods his head. They then talked to me who did not want me to listen, I walked back to my flowers and saw the development of other flowers. Some are fresh, some are starting to bloom and the tone is a little starting to wither. I then water one by one each pot. As I began to water the others, I felt a warm hand on my back and slid down on my ass.

“Everything is beautiful well, can I pluck it one and give it to you?” adrian said, I just nodded my head, I couldn't say anything because his hands felt like they were rubbing against my skin, it was hard to breathe. His fingers started moving and tracing my back and making me feel amused, it felt very intimate if he were like that. I felt his hand slide to my shoulder, following the curve of my spine.

“Are you okay Alice?”  She asked, she was so close, I could even smell her scent, she smelled like the flowers around her, but she was different. I could feel his breath floating around my neck making me shiver with fear and indignation.

“I'm good.” I choked, he patted me on the shoulder, from the corner of my eye, I could see him smiling but slowly turning into a haughty grin, as if he was making me enter his trap. Oh my goodness, wrong..

 

Next day..

 

Today is Thursday, usually today I go to the store but, I have no reason to go there. Kenny was already there, he could definitely handle everything in the store. On holidays, I don't do a lot of activities, usually just watching TV, or playing DVDs. But unfortunately my DVD broke so, I went to the electronics store.

When the weather is outside, it is warm. I usually go to the park to bask in the sun. As I walked out of the room, I saw the whole kitchen, the pans and the panics were neatly arranged, there were no burnt eggs, very clean. I heard a grunt, then yawned behind me, I turned my head and saw Adrian stretching his hands over his head, his shirt up while revealing his abdominal muscles. I turned my face away and didn't want to be caught if I saw it.

“Where is Alan?” I asked and did not look at him.

“He was out this morning, I don't know, maybe meet someone who has already sold his apartment.” He said he walked right past me.

I looked at the clock in a daze, at 6:45 in the morning, it was too early to do any activity with someone out there, I thought.

“So, what are we doing this morning?” Adrian asked, taking the bowl. I looked at him confused.

“Kita? I thought you yourself wanted to do something. It's my day off so I'm planning on doing something I used to do.” I took my book from the side table and rested on the sofa.

“Is that all you want to do today? Just read it?” He said, it seems he mocked me.

“It was boring, uh. I want to do something.” He said, put the bowl in the sink.

“I like with peace and quiet on my holidays.” I wish it was the end of our conversation, but unfortunately it wasn't.

“Yeah, if I think anyway, it won't be good.” He got up and went to the bathroom. I heaved a sigh of relief and absorbed myself in the romance of the Knights with shining armor and the princes and princesses wore beautiful and nice clothes.

As I read, I detached myself from the rest of the world for a moment. There was only a book and myself at the moment, I felt like half an hour had passed, I felt a pillow next to me and my book was torn from my hand. Right on the Knight's side was about to kiss the princess.

“What are you doing?” I said, still a little annoyed that he was mocking me.

“We'll be out, I've prepared some food and we'll leave home.” I'm rattled.

“What do you mean we're going out?” I said try to get my book. But he held it over his head so it was impossible for me to reach him.

“I mean, I've prepared a picnic basket, we'll go out and go somewhere and sit down and eat it.” He then got up, grabbed my car keys, basket and tarp. Then out.

“But outside is still cold!” I screamed after him.

“Wear jacket.” He said and shrugged his shoulders. I sat there clenching my jaws, frustrated that he was destroying my book and ruining my current mood. Reluctantly, I got up and took my jacket. Adrian was waiting patiently for me in the car and even smiled or could tell he was grinning as I sat down.

“I'm so happy, you finally want to go with me, I'm afraid that I will eat alone.” I think he's trying to make me laugh or ease the tension but I don't think it's working. He started the car engine and then left, I leaned against the window and saw houses passing through the city and I then fell asleep.

I woke up as I felt the car stop, I opened my eyes slowly and looked at the meadow that stretched for several miles. I sat down and saw that the clock had passed eleven o'clock.

“Where are you taking me? You drove for almost two hours.” I can't believe he's taken me this far.

“Quiet and peaceful place, as your favorite.” Said.

“I really don't know.” I was angry, I just wanted to yell at him but he stopped me.

“My grandmother used to bring me and my sister here when we were little. We usually stay here all day with sunbathing, chatting and eating. She always carries fresh watermelon slices straight from her garden, with peanut butter bread.” She smiled as if she tasted it. “so I thought, it would incline if I visited this place again.” I never thought of Adrian as a sentimental type, I now look at him in a different way. He was neither a soldier nor a fool, but I looked upon him as a man who cared and ate.” She smiles.

For the first time she gave a sincere smile and it was a very sweet and charming smile. We walked for about five minutes, and we came to a tree that stood on top of a hill, mostly fresh green foliage, I loved spring, therefore, I loved spring, all the trees turned a fresh and beautiful green. Adrian put a tarp on a tree that gave me great shade and put a basket and then patted the place next to him whose sign told me to sit down. Slowly I followed his invitation, I made sure there was plenty of space next to us so we didn't touch.

“So, since you don't have slices of bread, I made an egg sosil roll with some fruit and drinks, in the refrigerator you only have manga juice so I picked it up.” Inevitably, I felt flattered by the work and effort he put in to prepare all this for us.

“Wow, I don't if you can make all this, great.” I said while taking the egg sausage roll.

“Yes normal, I often make it akalu I want to make it again.” He said as he took one of the fruits in the basket and ate the wine.

“Ok, thanks for everything, I really appreciate it.” After that all we did was eat, there was a little chatter but not that much, we heard the chirping of the birds and the gusts of angina throwing leaves on the trees and the grass around us. Very beautiful and peaceful.

Adrian lay under a tree with his arms covering his head, his eyes closed and his ankles crossed. I just stared at him for the first time since he came here, I was actually staring at him. Her hair was thick black, blown by the wind and falling over her face, her jawline was sharp, her nose looked crooked as if it had been worn out in the previous fist, her lips thinly pink. He has muscles, that's all he has on his body, his chest looks wide and his stomach also looks tight. And his hand, I'm sure it's big. I wondered how he could have such a body, my face was red as my mind flashed through my mind, I turned my face away, I don't want to be interested in him or think about things about him, it's wrong and I don't want to fall in love with him.
