Choosing Love !?!?

New move...

Since seeing Chris and Madeline that night, Alex has always been wary of being outside the apartment. Even when he was on campus he was in fear if suddenly Chris or Madeline appeared in front of him. Though if you think, why try the two creatures appear on campus.

"It seems you are here. Class is over, it's still crouching here" said Amel to Alex, who enjoyed a break in the classroom.

"Again males, it's cold outside" Alex excuses.

"Lately it's been hard to find" protested Amel.

Indeed, since then Alex always spent his breaks in the classroom or campus library. He even brought bread or sandwiches, so there was no need to go to the cafeteria.

Even at his workplace, he was always watching the entrance to see every guest who came. His hands always swiftly moved covering his face with a tray as a figure similar to the two of them entered the Bar.

"Heiiiii, think what the hell, what I said in grapevine!" Amel fans Alex's face with the book he picked up on the table.

"Hehehe sorry, what were you talking about?"

"What is your relationship with Ben? As far as it goes, I'm horrified he keeps sticking to you" said Amel smiling curiously.

Why would Amel ask about his relationship with Ben? Didn't Amel go after Ben?.Is it possible because he's already with Ryan, so he's not interested in Ben anymore?. Alex's mind guessed what was going on.

"Males is really talking about the statue," grumbled Amel annoyed.

"I'm sorry, sorry, I'm confused about what to answer, Ben and I are just that, nothing special. Ben is your target, anyway" said Alex holding Amel's arm to sit back.

"Yeah, how yes, when I insist on chasing people who are clearly busy chasing others. Tired of himself, right?"

"Ben didn't chase me, it was just gossip, " explains Alex.

"Gossip will not be gossip if there is no source. What's less than Ben, watch out later in another new sosor."

Hearing Amel's words earlier, Ryan's shadow flashed across Alex's head. Why try, he who appears, when the one being discussed is Ben, not Ryan.

Indeed, since they drank in the rooftop, Ben increasingly spend time with Alex, from starting to shuttle every time they have the same lecture hours, to picking up to Alex's workplace. In addition, they also meet every event with other fishing groups. Ben's behavior is getting more aggressive. Like at the picnic yesterday Ben did not hesitate to feed Alex and lean spoiled on Alex's shoulder in front of the others. She also did not give up on inviting Alex to her apartment. Alex of course ended up visiting there, but also with their group mates,but if it's just the two of you, Alex always refuses with a thousand reasons that he has prepared and memorized out of his head.

Of course, Ben's special treatment often makes Alex happy, who tries not like to be treated like a queen. But until now Ben never asked Alex to be his lover, despite the way Ben treated him as if they were dating, so many misunderstand.

"I don't want to be too confident, Ben could be good with everyone" Alex explained.

"Geez, what a cliche the answer is. Did you see that he was acting like the others too?"

Alex could not answer Amel's question, because what Amel said was true. But still if not shot means there is no status other than friendship. Why does love have to be so confusing. Not even the problem Chris finished, his feelings are confused with the state of friendship with Ryan, now appears Ben who often makes him ge-er (medium taste) himself. She has feelings for 3 men at the same time. How come you are Lex.

Later that night Alex told about the problems of his love life to his friends who were in the ocean through a video call group.

"Alright Lex, why try you do not immediately pick up Ryan when he just broke up with Chris. If I agree with Ryan, because he is very good" said Ratna.

"Somehow try it now you say that Ryan shot you" Stefi said.

"Yes, even though I don't know Ryan, but from your story, he seems to understand and take care of you. But yes, how else, our friend this one works fast, but if the love affair, snails are much faster," continued Nayla.

" You are yes, I asked for advice instead of scolding" Alex protested.

The mask on Stefi's dry face made it hard to open his mouth, with Kaku he said, "But Lex, what the hell is keeping you alone, actually, finding a replacement for Chris is not difficult. "

" I don't understand either. Is it possible because I'm still afraid to do that" Alex said with two fingers.

"This is the difficulty of the Virgin Looking for Love" ledek Nayla. Welcomed the laughter of Ratna and Stefi.

"That's not the case, Lex, if you want, you can explain from the beginning if you want to have a relationship like what, if he wants, yes, if you don't want to, if you don't want to, yeah search again. " She who washed her face clean from the mask commented.

" That's right Stefi said, you're the only one who's scared first. Ryan has already taken people. It could be that Ben continues to invite you to the apartment because he has installed a big banner that says 'Alex Will You Be My Girlfriend', and you have panicked first, "joked Nayla.

" Aaaaah already, change the topic, which is there if not in the omelin I was ridiculed continuously from earlier, "Alex protest is upset.

They chat for quite a while until Alex receives a phone call from Ben who invites him to go out to dinner.

At first Alex was reluctant to go out, but after remembering the advice of his friends earlier he decided to try to get to know Ben more closely. In any case, if compared to other men who approach him at this time, Alex feels more comfortable with Ben, probably because they are close friends.

Ben looked dashing and tidy with his suit after. It's the first time Alex has seen Ben look formal. Usually even if he was wearing a shirt, it was certain that his arms were rolled up to the elbow and the top 2 buttons were open.

"What is this special day?" alex asked while straightening Ben's tie that was a bit tilted.

"My friend is celebrating a birthday at one of the big hotels here, I don't want to come alone" Ben said.

"Your friend? Means Beth and the others will be there too, right?"

"No, it's my old friend Beth or no one else knows her" Ben said, opening the car door for Alex.

"You look so pretty tonight" Ben said before closing the car door.

Alex blushed to hear Ben's praise, but he kept his cool. Anyway he shouldn't go too far, because Ben still hasn't expressed his feelings.

Arriving at the destination Ben handed over his arm so Alex could wrap his hand and then they went inside.

The party atmosphere is very lively and also luxurious. Apparently the birthday hire the whole restaurant, especially for his birthday celebration.

Ben introduces Alex to Joshepine the show's owner. Girls the age of Ben, but the behavior is still like a child, especially with a dress that looks like a Cinderella fairy tale.

"Happy birthday" said Alex, hugging and sticking his left cheek.

"Thank you, wow Ben, this is the first time you've brought your girlfriend" Joshepine said. Ben just laughed.

"I hope you enjoy the party. No, you guys should enjoy the party! Excuse me first yes, there's a lot I have to say" Joshepine said.

That night Ben acted like a real man. He pulls out a chair for Alex while he's about to sit or stand. Ben also introduces her to a few others, who seem to be Ben's childhood friends. Whenever they discussed the topic of their childhood memories, Ben always told Alex the whole story so he didn't feel left out at all.

Dance music began to be played, Joshepine went down to the dance floor with her lover as the opening couple who were then followed by other couples.

"Will you dance with me?" ben asked as he bowed 45 degrees in front of Alex.

Alex knows Ben is an installer and always joking, or Ben who looks serious and assertive when he teaches on campus. But tonight Alex sees the other side of Ben. The side that makes her look gallant not only in terms of looks, but also actions.

In the middle of the music Ben put Alex's right hand that was in his hand to his neck, so that at this time Alex's two hands coiled around Ben's neck, Ben, while Ben's hand grabbed Alex's waist and pulled him gently so that the distance between them was getting closer.

Usually Alex will refuse, if they are too close, but tonight the atmosphere feels different. Is Ben going to express his feelings tonight?. Guess Alex in your heart. What if after that Ben kissed her on this dance floor in front of everyone, my face could be red like a fire truck. Alex had been far away, and then realized because he felt stepping on something that turned out to be Ben's shoes.

"Sorry, is it sick?"

"How much you weigh, I don't feel anything if you're not the one apologizing. You've been eating enough, haven't you?"

"You're mocking me or praising me" Alex grumbled. Ben just smiled gently and looked at Alex affectionately.

And the slow and soft dance music stopped changing with hip-hop music that made everyone down to a little restful.

Alex's delusion of being shot on the dance floor is romantically dashed.

"It looks like this is the last show, they'll be dancing and drinking until morning, going home now?" ask Ben.

Alex replied with a nod, he was still a little dazed because it crashed from his delusion which had reached the seventh heaven.

After saying goodbye to Joshepine, they left the party.

When in the car Ben put his seatbelt on Alex, and while taking his seatbelt on Alex's side they were very close together as if they were going to kiss. Alex had to hold his breath while hunting. Maybe because he misses what it's like to kiss, plus a supportive atmosphere and a sexy Ben figure makes Alex want the kiss. But again imagine Alex about a hot kiss thrown down.

"Are you enjoying the party?" ask Ben to start driving.

"Yes, I enjoy it" Alex said, controlling his breathing.

"Well if we continue the party in my apartment, it's just the two of us. Continue the dance that was cut."

That's right, we can continue in your apartment and we can kiss as much without being embarrassed at seeing the crowd. That's the answer in Alex's head, and from his mouth the words that came out were, "It's too late, I'm going home."

Whether because of the influence of drinks and the treatment of Ben who like a real man to treat his lover makes Alex so a little passionate. Unfortunately Ben still hangs their status, so Alex is not willing to act further and choose to refrain. Although Ben could have expressed his feelings in the apartment and drove him home, but it looks like tonight is quite up here. Alex felt he had opened up enough.
