HUG ME: Love and Friendship

CLOTHESLINE SECRET

CHAPTER 10

GLUE

Drake was a little anxious when Lulu said she wanted to stop by to see his house.

"Eh? The truth is, Lulu, do you want to stop by my house?"

"He-em. Why sis? No, you can't, huh?"

Drake looked quickly, "B can. Can really. Hehe.."

But, my house is a bit messy. Aren't you a problem?" Drake recalled that when he went to the hospital last night, he had not cleaned his dinner plate.

Ouch, druck!

Drake asks Lulu to wait for a while at his doorstep.

"En, Lulu. Can you wait here for a minute?"

"Waiting here?"

"I yes. I'm going in for a second. It's okay, right?"

Lulu smiled understandably, "Alright. I'll wait here."

"okay."

With a quick movement, Drake closed the door again and checked the inside of his house. He was worried, there would be a lot of messy stuff at the dining table.

But apparently, his house was clean. So did the plates and glasses he ate last night. Everything is neatly arranged on the shelf.

Even his messy room and full of paper crumbs was all neat.

"What is Luna? Aarrhh, thank you so much Luna. You're such a sweet angel" Drake felt grateful.

Because the condition of the house is safe, Drake also felt confident when opening the door of his house for Lulu.

"Let's go in, Lulu."

"Yes." Yeah."

SLURRPPP

Drake gulped down his cold canned drink feelingfully.

Fortunately, after two falls, he was able to pedal Lulu's bike well until home. Not to forget also he treated the abrasions on Lulu's knee.

"What's wrong? Why keep glancing at me like that, brother?"

"Eh? There's nothing. You're better, right?" Drake continued to gulp down his drink.

"Yes. I'm fine."

Lulu shut up and watched all over Drake's house. Then he smiled.

"So do you live here by yourself?" tanyakanya.

"Yes. Like you."

"It's always boring, huh?"

"Not really. There was Luna who yelled and scolded me all the time. So I'm not lonely enough."

"Luna's? Who?"

"He's a chatty neighbor, hehe," Drake said.

"Ehem! Choppy, huh? Duuhh, sweet lady. Don't believe Drake's poisonous mouth. He would only look handsome and perfect in the presence of an outer lady. But the truth is, I'm the only one who knows all the ugliness."

"Eh bushel! When did you get in?"

Drake was surprised because Luna was suddenly in his house.

"You must have forgotten. I can go in anytime to your house."

Luna who was leaning against the wall also stepped closer to the two people who were chatting.

"Sweet girl, what's your name?"

"I'm Lulu. You alone?"

"I'm Luna, that chatty neighbor," Luna replied as she glanced back at Drake.

"Oh, hihihi. It seems like she was only joking when calling you a chatty, pretty sister," Lulu tried her best to melt the atmosphere.

Luna's vexed and annoyed face finally disappeared instantly.

"Hey, where did you kidnap this sweet sister?" asked Luna while sitting next to Drake.

"Just boy. Does this handsome face of mine look like a kidnapper!" Drake grunted in annoyance.

"Hehehe, you see, there's a girl who would stop by your house other than me. So when I saw her, I thought you kidnapped her somewhere," Luna pinched Drake's cheek and wiggled him right and left.

"Ohh, sick, release.." cried Drake.

Luna who did not want to take off her pinch laughed out loud at Drake's cute face. His mouth seemed to be drawn to the right and left sides.

Lulu looked at the two humans with smiling lips. He could see a different closeness from the two. Even now Drake and Luna looked familiar in Lulu's eyes.

"Emm, excuse me, brother. Can I take a ride to the bathroom?" looks like Lulu kebelet peed.

Luna and Drake stopped joking, "Bathroom? Yya, it's okay."

Drake lets Lulu use her bathroom because she believes every corner of her house is clean thanks to Luna.

"thank you. Well, then, I'll go to the bathroom first, yeah..."

Luna and Drake nodded together. When Lulu had gotten into it, Luna hit Drake's arm.

"You're! What a slob! Your house would've been exactly like a pigsty if I hadn't cleaned it all up right away."

"Ehehehe, thank you Luna, you are the one who understands me the most" Drake replied grimacingly.

Luna sneered and spread her back onto the sofa. A second later, he got back up.

"Oh my God!"

"Eh? What's up?"

"Today I washed your clothes!"

"Hm. Then why are you yelling?"

"Lulu will definitely see your d*lam outfit that I'm drying too!"

UHUK!

Drake coughed until the soda he was drinking came out of his nose again. His throat seemed to be blocked for a moment. What's he supposed to do? The bathroom is connected to a clothesline separated by a glass partition.

Lulu appears to be standing while sculpting shortly after she enters the bathroom at Drake's house. He was surprised to see a line of gray, brown and black personal objects neatly arranged on a clothesline rack in the next glass room.

"I'm this, right? Aren't...."

GLUE

Lulu covered her mouth with both hands. He tried to hold back the laughter as his eyes continued to stare at the cute things.

"God. There's this room, right, in Drake's bathroom. And that is, why is his cel*na dal*m laid out parallel to such a position? Hihihi.. This is so cute...."

Outside the bathroom, Drake is seen riding on his sofa chair while banging his forehead.

"It's a shame.." whining.

"It's all your fault, Luna. Why are you washing my clothes today?"

"What's? You're blaming me??"

"Eh, No.. No. gabe. That's not what I mean."

THE BASTARD!!

BLEED IT!!

BLETAKKK!!!!

"Once again dare to blame me, I will no longer help you clean up the house. Anyway, it's none of my business. You should be thankful that I volunteered to clean your house without asking for a wage" Luna said frowning as she patted the palms she had just used to hit Drake.

"I yes. I-i know. But, actually I didn't ask you to do it. You did it of your own accord, didn't you?" Drake felt guilty.

"Aiiiiss. All this because of dad's request. If you hadn't told me to take care of you like her own son, I wouldn't have done it either."

TRACKS

Lulu out of the bathroom. He tried to show a calm face as if he saw nothing while inside.

"You done yet?" Drake asked with pursed lips and a full glare probing.

"Yes, already. Weh, is Luna still here?" Lulu approaches Luna.

"Eh? I yes. Um, Lulu. It seems, our age is only a few years away. Can you just relax with me? No need to call me brother. Yeah, hahaha, just call Luna. L-U-N-A. Luna."

"That's it, huh?"

"Yes," Luna smiled.

"alright. If that's what you want... Luna."

"Well," Luna moved both of her hands like shooting.

••••••

TOOSSS

Drake, Luna and Lulu stick their canned drinks together until the contents squint out.

"I didn't expect, to be able to chat like this with you guys," Lulu boasted her soda.

"Sometimes, you two come by and stop by my house. I'll make you some delicious food."

"Food? Of course," replied Drake.

"You're this. It's still embarrassing!" Luna elbowed Drake's stomach.

TING TUNG

The sound of Drake's doorbell pressed down on someone.

"Are there any more guests?" Luna stood up and approached the door.

CLUTCH

As soon as the door opened, a beautiful and classy woman was standing outside.

"Who, huh?" ask Luna.

"Ah? I'm Drake's brother-in-law. There's something we need to talk about. Who are you? Why is it at my sister-in-law's house?" ask Eloise.

"Oh? Good afternoon. His friend. Do you want to meet him? Then just go in, we're chatting inside."

Eloise thought for a moment. He wanted to talk to Drake about something alone. But chatting together, it seems possible too.

He also wanted to know who the woman who claimed to be Drake's friend was.

"alright. Can I come in?"

"of course. Let's go in, "Luna let Eloise in.

When Luna brought a guest back, Drake turned his head and saw Eloise coming. His face changed instantly. It became moody and uninspired as before.

"Well, it's a soda party, yeah. Wait, am I bothering you?"

"No really. Hehe. please sit down," Luna made room for Eloise.

When Drake is silent and cold to Eloise, Lulu and Luna say goodbye.

"Emm, it looks like we have to leave now. Isn't that Lulu?" asked Luna pleasantiously as she hurriedly left her seat.

"Eheheh, yes. We need to be outside. Then we go home first, sister," Lulu stood up after Luna.

Since Drake was just staring at them while snorting, then Luna hurriedly invited Lulu out. While walking away, Lulu whispered to Luna.

"Who is he? Is he Drake's girlfriend?"

"No. He's his brother-in-law."

"But why did my eyes catch something different inside the woman's gaze?" said Lulu.

"You mean?"

"No. I don't think he's his brother-in-law. I saw the loving look from those eyes. After all, Drake's attitude is also strange. She turned cold after the woman came. He was joking with us, wasn't he?"

"really so. I don't know. Tomorrow we just ask him. Maybe it's important business. So we have to go give them time to talk."

SRETT

After Luna and Lulu left, Drake spoke clearly.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you, I don't want to talk about that anymore?"

"It's okay if you don't want to. But I want to tell you something. What if I divorce Pitt, do you want to come back to me, Drake?"

Drake turned his head slowly, "What do you mean??"

"It's been eight years. But there was also no child present in our lives. You know what that means? It's because we never had a husband and wife relationship during the marriage."

"What do you mean tell me this?"

"If you avoid me for that, I can guarantee you something. He never touched me like a wife. Only once during that event. Besides it never."

Drake was confused. Should he sympathize with what Eloise went through or should he feel grateful to know a lover in his past was never touched again by his rapist.

"I'm tired. There's some progress I need to finish tonight. So, sorry. Looks like you need to leave right now, Eloise," Drake said as he stood up.

SERIATE.....
