Friend Bed

That Limited?

Alvaro occasionally glanced at Laurie who was currently sleeping beside him while remaining focused on driving his car. Whether the courage from where he suddenly took Laurie away, all just flowed. Since meeting Laurie, everything feels different.

It felt like there was another side to him, a courage he never showed when he met women. Perhaps, this has something to do with his love story in the past, when he had to marry the woman he loved so much had to marry another man. And, Alvaro didn't want to feel that loss anymore. The possessive side in her seemed to come out just like that, and did not want Laurie back in Zack's arms. It does sound selfish and out of reason because he wants a woman who still belongs to another man, but that sense comes just like that. Then, does Alvaro still dismiss all those feelings as love?

He always thought that it was too naive to interpret all these feelings as love. But in fact he has come this far, what is his name if not called love? He got the woman married and even took her away from her husband. The mind seems to be at war, the heart wants to interpret this as love. But there was one other side of his heart that seemed afraid to regard it as love. Memories of the past, as if to scratch a wound, would be a word of love.

Alvaro breathed his long breath, their journey was still far away but he enjoyed it all. Indeed he deliberately went by using his car, not using public transportation is relatively easier because if they use public transportation, their tracks are easily known by Zack. Although the journey was far away, but he enjoyed it all. Because with Laurie? Just think of it that way.

Alvaro chuckled. While still smiling suddenly a voice broke his daydream. "Alvaro!" call Laurie who woke up from her sleep.

"You awake? The journey, still far from Laurie. There's twelve more hours."

"Twelve hours? It's been a while, Alvaro. Aren't you tired?"

"If I'm tired, we'll rest for a while."

"Why don't we just get on a plane or a train, Alvaro?"

"No, Laurie. That's very dangerous, Zack could easily find us if we took public transportation."

"You're right too. Thank you very much, Alvaro. You want to accompany me, save me, and help me this far, without thinking about your safety."

"You take it easy, Laurie. Whatever I do to help you escape Zack's snare."

"Why? What's your reason for doing that? You even want to take me away, until you marry me. You said all that without thinking about your life. Why are you doing all that, Alvaro?"

Alvaro was silent, somehow it was difficult to answer Laurie's question. He didn't know what prompted him to do all that. Of love? Alvaro still seems too haughty to admit it, and always takes refuge in the overly naive belief of calling all of that with the word love.

"Alvaro, why are you quiet?" ask Laurie back. Alvaro then smiled.

"Laurie, have you forgotten? Didn't I promise you that I'll help you get away from Zack."

Alvaro fell silent again, he was so nervous why Laurie to ask such a thing. "Alvaro!"

"Oh, um, Laurie's just that. Don't you know I already consider you my best friend?" answer Alvaro. Instantly, Laurie's face changed, and her happy look faded on her beautiful face.

Meanwhile, Zack seemed to enter his house with a look of a face so moody. Nala who was eating lunch was surprised by the change in Zack's face.

'What's wrong with the demon king? Why did his face suddenly become more like a demon?' inner Nala. He was simply observing Zack's limp steps that were currently walking towards his room.

"What a weird thing, doesn't he want to greet me? Why did he just pass me by? Are his eyes blind enough to see an angel like this?" nala's grumbling is back.

He then hurriedly followed Zack's steps. "Master!" call Nala when she's standing behind Zack.

"I don't want to be bothered" replied Zack flatly.

"Did something happen to you? Why is your face like that?"

"Leave me. I want to be alone!"

"What exactly is it, sir? Have you just experienced a disaster? If you have a disaster, I'm glad, sir."

"You're so chatty, you better get in your room and leave me alone!"

Nala could only snort in annoyance at not being able to tease Zack as usual. He had intended to return to his room, but when he was turning his body. Suddenly he saw something fall out of Zack's pocket, and he didn't realize anything was falling. After Zack enters his room, Nala approaches the object dropped by Zack.

"A key?" nala said while taking the thing.
