"Master ...?" I don't understand what that means either.
He looked at me softly. Until my shadow is reflected in his blue eyeballs. The light of his eyes was able to hypnotize my mind. I couldn't even think when I saw my own reflection in his eyes. Could I have fallen in love?
"I'm .. I don't know why. But ... I feel always happy when I see you by my side. Can you keep me company, Cecilia?" Implied the seriousness of the look on his face.
I swallowed spit. Don't know what to say. I am still confused to answer. I just got hurt and didn't want to make it my only escape. I want it completely.
He then rubbed my cheek. The gentle rubbing that made my heart beat so hard. He rubbed my cheek and then slowly his fingers went down my neck. My body felt his touch. Like being hit by an electric current that vibrates every nerve in my body. He began to bring his face closer to mine.
"Tuan—"
Suddenly someone opened the door and saw us here. I soon realized that someone was coming to his study. I quickly distanced myself and pretended to be busy while turning my back on him. I was caught by his employees.
"Em, Sir. Excuse me. I don't know." A man in a green shirt came into the room and surprised us.
I saw Alexander patting his own forehead. "Oh ... Why come at a time like this?" He was sorry for the arrival of the man.
"Sorry, Sir. I really don't know. Really am! I just want to hand this over. Happy weekend." The man left in front of us after putting the map on the table.
Duh, shame me.
I also feel bad for myself. Almost got caught kissing. Especially, right? Surely Alexander wanted to kiss me earlier. And stupidly I forgot if I was still in his study. Maybe I got carried away so I could forget like this.
"Cecilia, sorry." He then apologized to me.
"What's wrong, sir," I said, still away from him.
"Yes, already. We're going home now. I'll clean up my desk first." He started tidying up his desk.
I nodded, letting him tidy up his desk. I was almost swept away by the atmosphere he created. Maybe if no one had come, we would have kissed. But again it didn't happen. It seems like the universe has not blessed us. Or will there be a wonderful moment after this? I don't know. Just go through what is. I also started to feel comfortable with him.
By evening...
The urban atmosphere is arguably jammed at this time. The heavy traffic ahead of the weekend makes the capital like walking on the spot. Maybe that's what I'm experiencing now. Tired of waiting for the road to run smoothly in the evening. I sat quietly without driving the car. Because Alexander was driving it.
My car was abandoned at CV Permata Indah office. Alexander himself put my car in his office garage. Right now I'm in his car. He wants to take me home to the apartment. But there's not a third of the way yet, we're already stuck in traffic here.
"Bete, huh?" tanyanya turned to me.
I shook my head. Pretending not bored when bored because of traffic like this.
"You wanna stop by the art market first?" askinya.
"Art market?"
"He-em. Not far from here. Maybe you'd like to see the students practice their theater skills." He offered.
I looked back. I saw there were a lot of cars waiting in line for the road. I think waiting to get to the apartment will be a long time. I'll just make a decision.
Alexander nodded. He then turned on the penny lamp to turn the direction. We finally got out of this traffic.
"Not bete." He rubbed my head while continuing to drive his car.
"No. Not bete. It's just I'm hungry" I said honestly.
She laughed beside me. "What do you want to eat? In the art market there are many food markets. Maybe you'll try." He offered back.
"Can." I also nodded.
"Wait, yeah. We'll be there soon." He then cut a path by getting into a residential alley.
I don't understand why every time I'm touched my chest is pounding. Like an electric shock that makes all the nerves in my body connected. Until now he has also not shown any signs of his biological desires towards me. Does he want me to start first?
Truly every woman certainly needs a soft caress and affection from her man. And so do I who want it. But for some reason if I'm with her, I feel weird myself. He survives and I am timid. He never met. That opportunity is always there for us. But yes, they always fail, anyway.
"That's the art market!"
Alexander showed me his art market.
I see this art market is kind of a place to practice roles and other art activities. When I entered the parking lot, I saw many high school students who parked their motorbikes. Around this place there are also many food vendors. Not infrequently I also see young people who sit relaxed here. It seems like this place is indeed interesting while waiting for the streets not to get stuck anymore.
We then got out of the car. Alexander locked the car door. He looked around and then at me. "What do you want to eat? There are many who sell." He offered.
Suddenly I felt thirsty. "Master, I want some ice cream. Any?" my many.
Alexander looked around again. "That looks like there's an ice cream dealer. We're going there, yeah." He took me to one of the places on the edge of this art market.
I nodded then followed him towards that place. We walked a little far away. Maybe because it is still the same deg-degan if touched. I don't know. I don't know what I'm feeling either. Every time I got close to him, it felt like my heart was beating so hard. Up and down carried the atmosphere created. Or maybe it's just my feeling?
"What's the taste, Cecilia?" when we got to the ice cream seller.
"Just mix it up, sir," I replied.
Alexander immediately bought me ice cream. The flavors of strawberry, vanilla and chocolate are mixed into one. He bought two. One for me, one for him. I immediately tasted this ice cream. And it turns out it doesn't feel inferior to the one in the restaurant.
It was delicious on the side of the road.
I realized that I was starting to like the way I love me. Whether it's true or not, I just live it. No, he hasn't done anything either. So take it easy. Somehow in the future, maybe it's also the best for me. I don't mind if he's my soul mate. He is perfect and perfects me.

...Alexander's...
