Choosing Love !?!?

Meet.......

Madeline brought her lips closer to Chris's lips, her eyes were already slightly closed preparing to enjoy the warmth of the lips of the man of her dreams.

I'm not gonna miss this opportunity, I'm gonna make you never forget Chris tonight. Madeline spoke inwardly.

He could feel Chris' breath blowing on his face, then Chris' palms touched his cheeks and his entire face. Uh wait a minute.

Madeline opened her eyes, from between the fingers of Chris' hand that was as big as her face, seen Chris looking at her sharply.

"You want to go alone or I have John drag you, "chris snorted. He was annoyed at himself wanting to enjoy Madeline's body. Just a little bit he gave a gap earlier, surely they are currently enjoying the night with excitement.

Madeline leaves the room looking upset, sad and embarrassed, and Chris picks up a bottle of whiskey and chugs it right out of the bottle. Hoping that her desire that Madeline had raised was drowned.

*********

"Why is your boss confided to you, there are many other staff that he even knew before serving in Paradiso. I seem to smell something strange" said Stefi, stroking her chin.

"Maybe he does not want to be a gossip material, as my other co-workers like ghibah compact, "said Alex positive thinking.

"I think it's a little weird too." Ryan who came with a tray of four bowls of ice cream chimed in.

Since Madeline's return to work, her two best friends have always wanted to meet and chat with Alex even if it's only for a little while. They didn't want Alex to endure her own grief. Alex uses this opportunity to introduce them to Ryan. And then Ryan's parents' ice cream shop was used as a regular meeting place, and Ryan now knows why Alex is crying.

"But why Chris never came there again try. It's more upsetting to me than your boss's curses, "it's Ratna's turn to express an opinion (already an important meeting).

"Shy possibly, "said Alex briefly.

"No way it is, as a guy especially not as famous as Mr. Chris. Surely he would even come and show off the affection in front of you Lex, " explains Ryan from a man's perspective.

" You guys are really cool and make spins, but this is not a competition and show-off, "says Stefi.

"Tuh, my ex also used to be that, really likes mamerin gonta change girls. It feels the best." Ratna was even confiding.

"Why am I being attacked anyway. Lex call the mobile number of Mr. Kaya to them let abis in omelin. The time of a good man like me who gets scorned." Ryan put on a bright look.

"Cup, cup, cup, cup Ryan cayank dak oyeh nanis." Alex pats Ryan's head.

"We change the topic yuk, very males talk about them continue. I'm like their artist, " Alex told his friends.

"Eh Ryan when are you going to go abroad?. Maybe you're actually skipping college because you don't want to separate from us" said Stefi.

Ryan choked on the ice cream to hear Stefi say, "Pe-de is really you, I'm back next week, then I start college two days later, " explains Ryan.

"Well, you can't get free ice cream anymore" she said.

"OH so you guys are just gonna make free ice cream." Ryan flicked his waist pretending to be angry.

" Comblangin kita dong, who knows there is a blond, handsome, sharp-nosed guy who is lured to our exotic, "pinta Stefi.

" Woi realize your boys ntar in humanity. Nih mbak who is next to aja who is single do not ask in matchlangin." Ryan glanced at Alex.

"Yes, we have given up. Find a soul mate make mbak next door."

"If it's not far away, this handsome mas in front of you again find a mate too." Ryan blinked his eyes at the spoonfuls of the three girls he was with.

" This is a feast of his name. "Ryan stroked his head which was not really painful.

After being satisfied chatting and eating ice cream meetings disperse. Stefi and Ratna go home together because their house is in the same direction. Alex is escorted by Ryan after being forced many times by the others.

" Thank you're in the anter, would you stop by?"

"No, you take a break, you have to work in the afternoon."

"Yes, make it up, be careful on the road." Alex got out of Ryan's car.

"Lex, about what I said at the store earlier, I'm really serious."

"meaning?" alex asked confused, he looked down talking through the windshield.

"I've been curious and like you since before we know, every time you come with a sad look or cry I want to hug you, nenangin you, but I used to be his shy son, so just dare to look at you in-diem."

"But Ryan...."

"Wait for Lex I'm not done yet, I know you're still sad and confused, so I'll wait until your problems are over, and as long as we've won yes, " ryan smiled wisely. He did not want to take advantage of Alex's turmoil and appeared like a knight who came to the rescue. But he also could not wait to express his feelings, as he did not have much time left.

"Thank you Ryan for understanding."

"Don't be awkward later on, I'll still be here a week, or else we'll both be ledekin Ratna and Stefi continue." They both laughed together.

"If they know what you said earlier we can be made into a joke hehhehhe."

"Until you know for sure the answer we are still victorious as usual huh. That's where you come in now, " said Ryan, and then Alex walked in.

Alex was shocked and nervous about what Ryan said and did not know what to answer, but once Ryan explained again he was relieved. Not very relieved, there are still deg-degannya as well, just can be controlled. Ryan's face was implied in his mind.

Since the beginning met always when he had a problem and Ryan was the one beside him, even though he did not know what the problem was, but he always tried to calm himself. All this time he only considered Ryan as a friend, to be honest he was too afraid to think more than that because of the bitter times in school. Maybe that's why he's insensitive to the feelings of the opposite sex.

It's been ten days since Madeline's return, and not once has Chris ever shown her nose in a restaurant. Maybe it would be better if he showed up and showed affection with Madeline, he was tired of listening to the curses of people who are in love. If the guest is not too crowded there are reasons that are created to take him, even the reason to take him home because it is already night in use, even though he is not the only one who comes home late at night. His co-workers often wonder about his closeness to Madeline. Fortunately he always worked hard, so not until there was a no-no talk.

"This is it he's coming. The boss wants to see you. Waiting at table five there spit, "said Mr. Radit in the hallway when Alex was about to go to the restaurant after finishing changing into a uniform.

Not today Madeline's Miss is off. The hell he's just here to see her. I wonder what else will be in the story. Think Alex who's really fed up of hearing all his romantic and super sweet stories. Maybe soon he got diabetes so sweet all the stories he heard from his superiors. As great as what was the curhatan this time to the extent that Mr. Radit who is an assistant manager who was sent to look for him.

Just now Alex reached the end of the hallway and showed up once on the restaurant floor he had been made limp by a figure sitting at table five. It was too late for him to turn around just drinking water or praying, because Chris's sharp gaze was already locked on him.

"Lex you were waiting for from earlier the same big boss," said Nayla approached him.

"Good day sir, what are you looking for me?" Alex tried to hold back his emotions. In fact, he himself did not know whether he was currently sad, angry, upset, or happy.

"Why are you talking so formally to me?"

"I'm at work Sir, this is professionalism" Alex flat said. It seems like there is also good feeling mixed, now he even looks not showing any emotions.

"Alright, that seems like it would also be an excuse if now I told you to sit down right?"

"True Sir."

"Why don't you ever contact me one bit. Don't you want to talk to me about something, or wonder why I didn't come here for a long time, or maybe your parents asked about me?"

"I know you have a job to go abroad so you can't come here, and no, my family didn't ask about you. And I don't think me and my family have the right to want to know where you are. That is your privacy. "

Actually, the house people used to ask about Chris, and Alex only answered soberly if he was busy with work. It seems like his family understood something was happening because they no longer asked and also stopped teasing him about Chris. As long as he didn't tell her anything, his family would give him privacy. Anyway why also he suddenly came after almost three weeks of no news. Why not just contact him first if he thinks there is something to talk about.

"Are you still angry about what happened that night?. I'm really sorry, I just..."

"Sorry Master I have to work now, if there's anything you want to talk about beyond work issues I hope not at work and working hours." Alex was forced to cut off Chris' speech because Jane was approaching to take guests who had just come to sit at the next table, while the other table was still empty. What else if not to eavesdrop on the conversation so that there is gossip material.

" So that's why I'm calling you because I have to check all the exemplary job candidates in each branch myself. You can go back to work thanks, " Chris said off-topic. It seems like he was as thoughtful as Alex, so when Jane came and let his guest sit at the table next to Chris immediately changed the topic.

Alex then passes leaving Chris, but that doesn't mean the problem is over.

*******

The night after work he saw Chris' car parked at the staff exit gate. Hesitating Alex approached, afraid that he might see a no-no. Now it is crowded on the news about cars swaying.

Lex, why did your mind go that way. Alex's inner self is upset at his brain which is starting to be rather 21+

The window moved down, Chris waved his hand telling Alex to get into his car.

"I'll drive you home after we talk."

"We're talking at the minimarket 24 hours near my house, "pinta Alex. He thought that if the conversation did not end well then the whole way home would be awkward, so he asked to talk near the house, so that later he could run off on foot if the atmosphere became bad.

Chris said nothing and immediately started the car engine.

After a few quiet minutes on Chris's way home, he opened the conversation, "I miss you, and I'm really sorry about that night."

No answer whatever Chris saw Alex from the rearview mirror of his car. The one I spoke to was asleep.

"Definitely tired yeah, what was in a busy restaurant."

Kangen from Hong Kong, casually toying with people's feelings. You don't know yeah I'm this until you know your dear call. Alex grumbled inwardly still pretending to be asleep.

Fortunately the streets were not jammed, so they quickly arrived. Can cramp Alex's neck if the duration pretends to sleep.

"Wake up, we're there, " said Chris, stroking Alex's head gently. The awakened were stunned by the unexpected touch. Fortunately he was still wearing a seatbelt, otherwise he might have jumped up to the roof of the car.

"Are you okay?" ask Chris.

"No, I'm sorry I fell asleep, " said Alex then immediately out of the car and towards the table located on the front porch of the minimarket.

Chris went inside and came back with two hot coffees to warm up from the night breeze.

"I'm sorry that I was so outrageous that night. I can't control my desires because I've been attracted to you since the first time we met, I've been standing there watching your behavior. At first I was just amazed you were so friendly and patient doing the least favorite job of all the restaurant staff. Then the longer I look every time I come there I get more interested in you. I'm sorry maybe I sound like I'm defending myself, I'm wrong that's for sure and I just want you to forgive me and we start over, I promise you yesterday won't happen again, "chris said at length.

" I'm sorry Chris, but it's not as simple as you say, because it's no longer just about you and me. "

" What do you mean? "asked Chris confused.

" I'm a woman and I don't want to hurt other women's feelings."

"Alex, I really don't understand what you're saying. Why are you bringing in another woman, what does that have to do with our problem?"

This man could have said that. She didn't understand how proud and happy Madeline's face was whenever the staff teased her about her and Chris, let alone when she confided in me.

" Although maybe the woman you're dating right now is just an outlet for you, but it's not so for her and I don't want to be a destroyer of people's relationships."

"Alex looks at me, "pinta Chris holding Alex's hand. "I haven't dated any woman since I was with you. I swear on my life, " Chris said it.

Alex's heart was racing as Chris clasped his hand. He didn't want this to happen but his hand didn't resist Chris' touch and the hen was silent in a big, wide hand. Why is he now shack and his brain is out of sync. You traitorous hand.

" Don't just swear Chris. Maybe for you it's not in the name of a date, just an outburst of your lust. But have you ever thought about the woman's feelings."

"Who is actually the woman you were talking about, because I'm not with anyone at all" said Chris increasingly confused. "I just went overseas with Madeline, and it was on business, nothing more. Besides her there's no more women."

Alex was silent to Chris' explanation. Now that he was confused, all this time he had only heard stories from Madeline's mother.

"But you take her for a walk, have a romantic dinner and spend the night together like you did when you guys were dating."

"How do you know, wait, that's not the case. We did what you said, but not like your shadow. It's just a coworker's limit nothing more." Chris then told in detail the misunderstanding that occurred.

"It looks like I need to talk to Madeline, so you can stop misunderstanding."

"Then what about him who still holds the keys to your apartment. That means you still want him to come there. You even told him to put your ordered stuff straight into your apartment." one by one Alex questioned everything that was bothering him.

" Alex I have a housekeeper in my apartment, that's why I told him to take her there to leave it to my housekeeper. Key problem I never thought like what you think, if you want I will change the key when I go home later. " Chris reached into his cell phone from his pocket.

" What do you want to take a cell phone for? " ask Alex.

" Want to call Madeline and get her here now. "

" No!! "Alex immediately snatched the phone from Chris' hands.

" It's not about him, without him not necessarily I'll forgive you "

How about it, it would be awkward if there was Madeline Ma'am here. Judging from the situation, Chris would scold him all out, and it made him feel bad for his boss.

" But still I don't want you to think about me and Madeline. We used to be together but honestly I never felt anything about her or any woman I've ever been with."

"How can I be sure I'm different from those women!" alex's voice was rising. Now she feels upset as a woman. "It could be what you told all your women before me."

"Because I don't have to try and wait if I want them. They were the ones chasing me, putting their pride at my feet. I would never choose such a woman as my lover."

"I'm sorry but I can't Chris, you've demeanored a lot of women."

"Why now are you suddenly acting like a female Human Rights fighter. This has nothing to do with them or any woman. You don't have to defend them." Chris was really riled up, he did not expect the direction of their conversation to go so far as this. Why is Alex acting like she's a heroine.

" There's nothing more to talk about Chris. I'm sorry, but your actions have made me angry, not just for what you did to me, but for all the women you've ever slept with."

" Aren't you overreacting?. Will you involve all the problems on this earth in every problem in your life. I'm not going to say anything more, because obviously our problems have gone nowhere and there will be no solution" said Chris disappointed.

" I hope you won't say anything to Madeline about this. "

" I can't, I have to get an explanation from him. I won't let anyone talk nonsense about me. Get in the car I'll drive you home. " Chris then stood up from his chair.

" I can go home by myself, my house is just a block from here. " Down Alex.

" I don't mean anything. As a man who drives you home I must keep my word. I won't say anything more, won't beg or force you to consider our relationship again. You've made your decision and I'll respect your decision "chris' voice shakes a little.

Alex walked in the car without a word. Even when he said thank you without looking at Chris in the slightest. His mind is mixed. His heart felt sad when he heard Chris' last words. Why he was sad, wasn't that what he asked of Chris and he gave it, then why his heart was hurt and hurt. Chris already explained everything about Madeline and it was completely different 180° with Madeline's story. Who should he trust now. His heart rippled happily as Chris told the version of the story earlier. He should not be too naive and selfish of his own ego, and ascertain the truth first before making a decision. Now he has really lost Chris.

That night Alex cried as if under the pillow, because he did not want his family members to wake up to hear his cries. He remembered Ryan, if the mall was still open, he would have run there by now to the ice cream shop.

Chris drove his car at full speed. He just wanted to vent his anger by speeding. Never before has a woman rejected him, let alone for reasons that he thinks are so stupid. He was going to Madeline's house to ask for an explanation, but the intention was because he was currently in the middle of emotions and if he got out of control he could vent his anger and give the woman a lesson. Honestly he himself still does not understand what happened, why Alex knows a lot about himself and Madeline, but with a very different perspective, but he is sure that Madeline looks

His desire to go to the nightclub was crushed and he finally chose to go home. If he gets drunk in this condition, he might invite someone to fight or sleep with any woman he meets there. He used to not care, but now Alex's face flashed every time he was about to do something bad. How much the girl changed herself.

Finally Chris headed to his apartment standing under the shower still in full clothes and flushed himself with cold water. Maybe he thinks his anger will subside if in a cold water guyur.

I'm not letting you go Alex...
