Choosing Love !?!?

Birthday Anniversary...

Tomorrow is Ryan's birthday, and Alex wants to give him a surprise right at the turn of the day. Before leaving for part-time work, he had bought a small birthday cake which he currently placed in the refrigerator of the Bar, where he worked. Also a gift contains a fit body model shirt that will certainly show Ryan's sexy body. From the moment he chose the shirt Alex had a smile - his own smile imagined how tempting Ryan's body when wearing it.

Alex what the fuck you are, remember Ryan is just your best friend. Even though they had kissed last week, but still it could not be counted, because the situation when it happened to save his life. Alex advises himself.

After failing again for the second time, Alex now increasingly wants to have a male figure to be his lover. The love he can show Ben and Amel. Lover to prove to the campus residents who are still whispering behind him who says if he still can not forget Ben, so until now he is still alone.

They no longer sneer at Amel, and even now praise how lucky he is to have Ben and all the other sweet sayings, then why is Alex still stuck in a situation that has almost 4 months passed. Of course because they basically feel better when they see others have problems, so they prefer to trust and nurture the news to seem more sad, and make their feelings better. That is basically human nature. As long as the person in question is not the person who is important to them, they will show empathy for just pleasantries.

Not that there was not a single man who came to Alex, but many even. But nothing melts Alex's heart. They come with a sense of pity because of the rumors that have been circulating and boast if they are not men like Ben. Not yet anything Alex already felt upset first.

Long life too, just thought it turns out the person showed up. Why is his smile so wry. Thought Alex saw the figure who had just walked into the Bar and was now approaching him.

"What wind is this, not telling me you're coming, what else knows? Where's Amel?" ask Alex streak.

"I've broken up with Amel" said Ben sadly.

Alex couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Sit down first, you guys got into a fight? Relax at least tomorrow better. The name of the courtship is that, there is a break-up," said Alex citing dialogue from the novel he had read, she doesn't have much dating experience and now has to comfort people who are breaking up.

"It's different Lex, we broke up 3 days ago, and now Amel has a new boyfriend."

"Where is it possible that soon, you may have misunderstood, you may have misunderstood."

"You misunderstood how, she herself told me just now. I deliberately took a day off tomorrow, and came straight here after work to ask him to come back to me."

"You haven't seen him with another man. It could have been just Amel's excuse because he was still angry."

"Hopefully," Ben hoped.

"Why did you break up. You are the romantic partner of the Century" said Alex, given the nickname given by people on campus.

"I don't know if I was so sure either, he rarely called and texted at first, citing multiple tasks. Last weekend he didn't come to see me. Therefore I protest, if the reason is many tasks I will be able to help complete the task as usual. He suddenly said break up that second also by phone, he said I was too set up, " said Ben.

" Calm down, give him time to calm down, maybe he's busy with his lectures" Alex said. He then took a bottle of beer for Ben and returned to work while occasionally staying close to Ben for a short chat so that he was not lonely.

15 Minutes to 12 p.m. Alex headed to the back to change his uniform quickly. Tonight he got permission to go home early. Don't forget Alex took his cake in the freezer.

"Are you going home? How about we go for a little walk or eat some chicken first" Ben asked.

"I'm sorry I can't, I'll surprise Ryan with a birthday."

"Oh, you guys seem to be getting closer, are you guys dating?"

" No dating, he's my best friend."

"Then I come along, the surprise is more exciting if there are additional people, I'm also a friend of Ryan."

Alex agreed. It's also good that Ben came along, so he didn't seem too insignificant to come to midnight giving a surprise birthday.

Stop by the apartment for a quick shower, Alex wears his favorite pink pajama suit.

Alex stands at the door of the apartment with a birthday cake that has lit candles. Ben pressed Ryan's doorbell.

Not for a minute did Ryan open the door. A happy smile blossomed on her face seeing Alex standing cutely holding a cake and singing a happy birthday song.

"There's Ben too" said Ryan, letting his guests in.

"So she happened to come to the bar. Again heartbroken he, do not need to ask," reported Alex put the cake on the table living room.

"It." Alex handed him a paper bag containing a birthday gift that had been hanging from his arm.

"Thank you very much" said Ryan. Indeed, since the incident at sea yesterday Ryan is no longer awkward to talk with words that feel more intimate.

"Well, I like it very much, but it looks like it's a little small." Ryan lifted a dark green long-sleeved shirt at the height of his head.

"Try a new comment first," have Alex who is busy cutting the cake and hand it to Ben.

Ryan passes to his room to try Alex's gift.

"Initially small," Ryan said as he exited the room.

"Please, distinguish what it is called small and fitting. The sensation you are feeling right now is the name of wearing clothes that fit the size of your body" explained Alex.

"But it's an M size, I always wear an L size shirt."

"Don't blame the size, you've been choosing the wrong size. Anyway don't argue, good people are that," said Alex no less insistent.

Ben smiled at the discussion of his two friends. He missed Amel even more.

"I'll go home first, yes, you guys continue your fight" said Ben.

"Where are you going?" As Ryan has known since moving to the capital, Ben has taken off his apartment here.

"To my parents' house, it was going to stay at Amel's place, but it turns out we are not better."

Ben is from this city, he rented an apartment because he wanted to feel the life of an independent and freer student. In fact, the distance of his parents' house is closer to the campus.

"Don't you feel sorry if you wake them up at this hour. Just sleep here" Ryan suggested.

Ben nodded in agreement. Ryan lent her a change of clothes.

"You haven't slept yet, so quickly open the door," asked Alex when alone with Ryan. Ben was bathing because his body was sticky by the sweat that stuck all day.

"So I was on a video call with Mom and Dad" Ryan said.

They sat on a long sofa, facing each other. Alex sits cross-legged on the couch enjoying his part of the birthday cake, while Ryan sits with one leg folded over the sofa and the other leg fixed on the floor.

"Chat what?"

Alex held out a spoonful of cake to Ryan's mouth, saying, "Continue saying you want to go home? If we go home, we will be together, yes, I also want to go home for college later. Wanna see my bangs."

Alex returns to feed Ryan after feeding himself.

"Yes, we'll set a date next month" Ryan replied. At her sight there was a little leftover cream on the corner of her left lip.

With the thumb, in the wipe of the rest of the cream then in the lick of the rest of the cream that is now moved to his thumb.

"I feel guilty staying here and disturbing your affection, said Ben who finished bathing and joined the living room.

Alex was aghast and automatically lowered his legs from the sofa, turning back towards the TV. While Ryan just smiled at the nervous behavior of Alex who looks sweet in his eyes.

"I go home first yes, sleepy," said Alex awkwardly.

"Yes, let me drop you off" said Ryan rising from his seat.

"Tomorrow holidays, right? How about we take a walk. Consider it to celebrate my birthday. I'll take Ben too" Ryan said in the elevator to the top floor.

"Can it be, what time?"

"Just be happy, around lunchtime."

"OK, I'll see you tomorrow" said Alex stepping out of the elevator as he reached the floor of his apartment.

"Thank you, it's the most memorable birthday for me." Ryan waved from inside the elevator which had already started to close.

On a clear morning, Alex was busy looking in front of the mirror trying out some clothes for the afternoon event.

I should have asked you yesterday where we were going, so I know what to wear. What if I get the wrong costume. Alex regrets his stupidity. After thinking for a long time, he set the choice on high waist short jeans with a light green sabrina top that is paired with white sneakers.

After the clothes business is finished Alex continued with stretching and bathing, the last is to do his own facial. Then sleep while waiting for the mask on his face to dry.

Alex was very happy because it turned out that afternoon Ryan was wearing the shirt he gave. Despite wearing a shirt, his appearance still looks relaxed. Shirt sleeves rolled up to elbow, light brown cotton shorts and black sneakers.

"Where's ben?" alex asked because he didn't see her.

"He didn't come, he said he wanted to try to persuade Amel again to turn back" Ryan said.

"May they turn, pity Ben."

"If they don't bring you back how?"

"How does that mean?"

"You're going to try pepet him again no, connect the feeling that used to not deliver."

"Iihhhh what the hell, pepet again, indeed since when I pepet him, there is he who pepet I to make people misunderstand."

"Why he got angry at me. Sana is angry at Ben, pretty heartbroken who knows so turn to you," joked Ryan trying to fend off Alex's pinch attack.

"You want him to break up and I won't be seeing him more than just a friend. Fortunately, today is your birthday, if it is not over you I pinch until blue all over the body. Let's say he wants to take the road."

They then went down to the parking lot in the basement.

" Where are we going? " ask Alex while putting on the seat belt.

" To the city next door, he said there is a good place that there is an artificial river and can ride a canoe like in the ITY country, which he said is romantic" said Ryan.

"Oh so today's story we're pretending to be dating?"

"Yes mumpung clothes are both green as a couple, all of you, right," said Ryan. "as long as I have not expressed love to the girl of my dreams I can still accompany you for a walk. Later it will not be possible, so just use me while you can," he continued.

Somehow the happy feeling of Alex so lost hearing Ryan's last words. He used to say the same thing, and Alex chose to be silent because Alex did not want to know about the lucky girl.

Alex who was already happy with Ryan's attention seemed unwilling if later he lost that attention when Ryan had a lover.

The place they visited called Little Romance Village, is a replica of some of the famous romantic places around the world. This place is deliberately built to attract tourists.

"Wait a minute" Alex told me as they were at the entrance gate.

Alex tiptoes to remove the top two buttons of Ryan's shirt. From earlier Alex felt there was something a little disturbing from Ryan's relaxed appearance. Turns out he buttoned his shirt up.

" This way it will look more relaxed" said Alex.

"Then people really think we're a couple" Ryan joked, repeating the first two words Alex said.

"Let's go, so no woman will dare to approach you" said Alex quickly, then ran in after Ryan who looked calm hearing Alex's words.

Alex and Ryan tried everything there was, from gondolas, balloons, and more to the absence of the night.

"Want to eat before you go home?" ryan asked on the way home.

"Buy pizza only but eat at home," said Alex who was not too hungry because he had tried various snacks sold there.

Arriving at Alex's apartment, they throw themselves to the couch exhausted. They did not feel tired because they were too busy playing. Ryan opened the soda that was included in the pizza package they bought.

"Lex, what do you think if I express my feelings to the girl I like?" I asked Ryan suddenly.

Alex did not answer. He grabbed a soda bottle in Ryan's hand, put it on the table. Then without any notice she kissed Ryan.

"Don't tell him" Alex asks to kiss Ryan again, but Ryan holds him back.
