Both of Charlie's eyebrows were raised when he caught the figure of his best friend walking while laughing with a handsome man who had been angry at him this afternoon. Charlie smiled confusedly. Since when did Arumi and Leon get that close ?
"Thank you for driving me, Leon !" Said Arumi while attaching a strand of hair that covered part of her beautiful face.
"Either. Don't worry about your own friends." Reply Leon with teasing eyes.
Charlie runs over to Arumi and Leon. Already too curious about the way they became familiar and ignored his initial intention of just peeking.
"Aru ! Where have you been ?" Sergey Charlie hugs Arumi from behind. His eyes occasionally steal a glance at Leon's handsome face that looks so perfect. Not to forget, the same thing he did to his best friend. Are they involved in a one-night romance ? It could have happened given that this is the country of France. One of the countries with a level of free association that has been considered ordinary.
Arumi let go of the two hands of Charlie who were tightly hugging his waist from behind. It felt a little awkward because there was a manly man before him who was so seriously paying attention.
"I told you to take a walk !" Arumi replied not lying.
Charlie sighed faintly. He also knew that Arumi had run out of sightseeing because indeed his best friend said goodbye before leaving. What Charlie meant was where he came from and why he was with Leon. Unfortunately, Arumi doesn't seem to have caught the subtle code that Charlie is throwing out.
"How can you be with my good friend, Mr. Wellington ?" It would be better if Charlie asked Leon directly on Arumi's appeal.
"So on the beach we accidentally met and ended up traveling around together for a while ." Leon brightened with his distinctive smile and eyeballs that focused only on the Asian woman standing before him.
"Then ?" Charlie's eyebrows shot up again and glanced in full search at his best friend who was just a stiff silence beside him.
"I drove him back here. That'sthat's all. Aren't you, Arumi ?"
"Yes, Leon is right !" Angkuk Arumi.
Charlie could not say anything more. It seemed that these two people were hiding something from him. It was very clear from the gazes of the eyes of the two who had never wanted to let each other off since earlier.
"Then, thank you very much Mr. Wellington."
"Call me Leon. And stop being formal if you talk to me !"
"alright. Leon !"
"Then I'll go first. Good night !"
Leon finally chose to turn around and leave behind Arumi and Charlie who still continued to wave at him. The 25-year-old man whistled a little towards his own resort not too far from the Aldric family's residential resort.
"So tell me what happened between you and Leon ?" Investigating Charlie was curious.
"none. He just made me friends and I accepted." Replied Arumi who was focusing on wearing face serum in front of the dressing table.
Charlie who would not take it for granted Arumi's confession approached the woman and stood behind Arumi with his arms crossed. Her blue eyes stared at the reflection of Arumi's face from the makeup mirror before them.
"Are you sure that nothing else happened but that ?"
"of course. What else is going to happen ?"
Back Charlie sighed and sat down near Arumi. Both of his hands grabbed Arumi's shoulders and forced her best friend to tilt her face.
"Listen to Aru ! I never believed there was a friendship between a man and a woman. Thats impossible. There will only be a feeling of liking and I'm sure that Leon must have that feeling towards you."
"Don't think too much, Char ! I'm sure Leon doesn't have any feelings for me. And our relationship is just a casual friendship, nothing more."
"What about you ? Don't you have any feelings for Leon ?"
The question was a surprise to Arumi. The beautiful woman even held her stomach because of the pain of laughing too hard.
"Don't joke ! Where could Char ! I also know myself enough to like someone. Leon's too far from my type. Besides, I'm not ready to open my heart to any man right now."
Charlie's lips immediately pursed while listening to Arumi's sentence. How could a Leon Wyatt Wellington not fit in the Arumi criteria ? Aish ! Charlie is convinced that his best friend must have been exposed to Irgi during their marriage until when they separated, Arumi is still difficult to forget.
While at the private resort owned by the Wellington family, Leon who had just come directly to Zack, one of his best friends who he took on vacation together to the island of Moorea who was in the kitchen. Leon sat in the pantry chair and took an apple in the fruit basket in front of him. The apple he played with was thrown up several times until it finally ended with a big bite on the surface.
"It looks like you've found something interesting during your short walk." Guess Zack when he saw the smile that Leon did not want to fade from his handsome face since.
"You think so ?"
"of course. Am I wrong ?" Zack's hand moved open the refrigerator door and pulled out a box of orange juice from there and poured it into a glass. "You want to ?" Ask to offer Leon.
"No need. Just for you." Leon's bell refused. Eating an apple was enough for him and was reluctant to add it with orange juice again.
"You met that woman at the front resort, huh ?" Zack smiled guessing while drinking his juice.
"so. I accidentally met him while I was at the beach." Leon could not hide his happy face when he remembered the small incident he had just experienced with Arumi. Before driving the Asian woman back, they both had time to walk on the beach while occasionally judging each other by splashing water on each other's bodies. There was something from Arumi's smile that made Leon feel like seeing her again and again. The woman felt different from the other women who had been approaching her.
"Don't tell me you're interested in that Asian woman."
"Why indeed ?"
Zack immediately choked on the juice he was drinking. Don't tell me that Leon intends to date the woman and make her an affair like the other girls before.
"You've got Jane, Leon ! Can you play him ?"
"Look down, Zack ! Isn't this the first time I cheated ? Jane did the same thing."
"But, that Asian woman seems like a good girl. I don't have the heart if you have to hurt a girl like her."
"Just calm down ! That's a recent affair. It's not my fault if she falls in love and hurts herself"
"Then what about Jane ?"
"I don't care. She's free with anyone, so why don't I ?"
"You're br*hsek Leon !"
"No more br*hsek than you !"
Leon grins and leaves behind Zack who still does not believe in his crazy obsession. Zack knows exactly what Leon is. His best friend since childhood was engaged to the daughter of his father's close friend named Jane Claire Savich. However, even though both of them have been betrothed, both Jane and Leon have the same habit of cheating but never feel jealous of each other. Maybe because they are not in love with each other. Or maybe because they are crazy.
