Friend Bed

Start Falling in Love

Alvaro was actually surprised when Laurie who suddenly hugged him. However, seeing Laurie's condition that seemed so sad, Alvaro then hugged Laurie back.

She also rubbed her back and stroked her hair, hoping that it would calm Laurie down a little. Long enough, he let Laurie cry in his arms. Until Laurie seems a little calm, Alvaro then releases his embrace, then removes the remaining tears on Laurie's face.

"Thank you" Laurie said.

Alvaro then nodded his head with a smile. "I'm sorry, Alvaro, I'm sorry that I suddenly hugged you."

"It's okay, Laurie. Maybe you need a shoulder to lean on. Anytime, I'm ready to be your shoulder if you need someone to lean on."

Laurie smiled and blushed in embarrassment. "How are you doing? Are you much calmer?"

Laurie then nodded her head. "Yes, this is much better. I feel a little relieved."

"Then we go back to the hospital now?" ask Alvaro

"Yes, we're going to the hospital right now so no one gets suspicious."

"And also your condition has not fully recovered, Laurie."

Alvaro then pushed Laurie's wheelchair towards her car to return to the hospital. After arriving at Laurie's treatment room, Alvaro then helps Laurie sleep on top of the gurney. However, Alvaro accidentally stumbled on the bottom of the gurney that made his balance slightly shaky and then hit Laurie's body just like that.

Their faces were facing each other. For a moment they were silent, and drifting in each other's warm gazes, their roars of breath even sounded so fused together.

For Alvaro, looking at Laurie is so beautiful. Everything Laurie had really fascinated her.

"Beautiful" said Alvaro.

"What?" reply Laurie who is aware of her daydream. Alvaro also looks misbehaved, he then rose from the top of Laurie's body, with a body gesture that is so awkward.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

"Yes, I know that. It's okay Alvaro."

"Emh.., oh yeah, I forgot there was something I wanted to give you."

"Give me? What do you want to give me?"

"Emh, I want to give this to you" Alvaro said, giving him a plastic bag, which he had been carrying when he got out of the car. Laurie then opened the plastic bag that turned out to contain various kinds of food.

"Is this Alvaro? Biscuits, chocolate, snacks? That's a lot."

"Didn't you rarely eat such food? As long as you sleep, you never eat food like that, do you?"

"Now, eat. Tomorrow I will also look for opportunities so that you can eat food as usual. I'm going to outwit Aunt Olivia so you can eat freely. Let me bring you some food."

Laurie then looked at Alvaro. "Why do you pay attention to me so much?" Alvaro smiled as well.

"Laurie, didn't I promise to help you? And for now, this is all I can do for you."

"Thank you, you're so good. Later, your wife must feel lucky to have a husband like you."

"I don't have a wife yet. It still hurts too much to treat a broken soul."

"I can feel that, Alvaro. I was heartbroken too, it hurt. Even just smiling feels so heavy."

"And I will make you smile always."

"You could have, like, been seducing me."

"Laurie, I actually want to apologize to you too because I haven't been able to help you get away from Zack. But, take it easy, I will definitely help you get away from Zack. I realize fighting Zack isn't easy. He's not just any Laurie, we have to have a strategy and a well-organized plan. Maybe I should also discuss this with your parents."

"But for now, please don't tell Papa and Mama I'm sober."

"No Laurie, it's just a secret for both of us."

"Yes, the secret of both of us," Laurie replied as she invited Alvaro to link their little fingers.

"Promise?"

"Yes, promise. Now eat, do I need to steam?" ask Alvaro. Laurie smiled, and her heart was so happy. A happiness he had not felt for a long time.

'Oh my God, what is this feeling? Why do I feel so happy? What the hell has happened? Why does it feel like my heart is so comfortable being with Alvaro? What is this taste? Am I starting to fall in love?' inner Laurie.

'Oh my God, what is this feeling? Why does my heart feel so peaceful with him? Everything in Laurie is so interesting to me. What is this interest in, can I call it love? Oh no, Alvaro. The woman in front of you, is a married woman, and I must realize that, your dream is too far away to hope for her, Alvaro's inner self.

Next Day...

A tiered woman was standing in front of a door of a house so luxurious. Before long, a middle-aged woman whom he had expected to be a maid opened the door of the house.

"Good morning, can I see Mr Zack?"
