I Am Yours, Mr Chevalier!
The Part 105
"See? Opening your heart is not as difficult as you imagine," Laras said, leaning his back against the back of the chair.
"Open your heart? Whatchu mean?" ask Ben astonished.
Barrel smiled. Tilting his face while raising his gaze at Ben who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"If you mean Mia, no, no, you're misunderstanding" Ben denied.
Barrels. Near him Ben who was putting on his sour face. Then sit next to him.
"It's okay, Ben," said Laras on the sidelines with a crisp laugh. "I'm just happy."
Ben sighed many times and then turned to look towards Laras. "You know, he reminds me too much of you, I'm confused about how I feel. My heart has been filled by you, Baras."
Laras shook his head slowly. "Ben, everybody is different."
"Then I don't want anyone but you." Ben stared at the clingy barrel. "Damn, Laras .. why did you have to go!!" yells.

Ben opened his eyes heavily. Put his arm over his forehead, then glanced towards the wall clock.
"Oh, s**t!" his meaning when he realized the clock had shown at 10:30. It means he's gonna be late for the Linden Center.
Ben jumped out of his bed as fast as lightning and blasted into the bathroom. Ten minutes later the man came out with wet hair and a towel wrapped around his waist. He took any clothes while running around preparing his shoes.
Shirt box - a brown box combined with a black sweater, jeans, boots as high as the eyes of the feet, and do not forget to tie his hair just anyone.
Ben glimpsed himself in the mirror, then half ran towards his studio to pick up his guitar.

"Where's the kid?" madame Rose grumbled as she glanced at the watch in her hand.
The atmosphere of the room that is usually used gathers patients to do activities such as chatting between residents, watching movies together and so on, not so crowded. Sue invited only a few of her 10 close friends, including John, a white-haired man with his chain glasses, to be the only man there. There were several guard sisters who were also in the room on duty to supervise.
Mia still plays the piano with a list of classic songs to wait for the event to start. Sometimes Madame Rose looked agitated. Alternately look at his watch and the entrance.
"Benjiiii!!" screamed at one of them. Making the entire room turn towards the door where a man with a charming smile stepped in while waving to the elderly.
"Sorry, girl .. I'm late" said Ben while putting on his guilty face. Makes the grandmothers even more anxious.
Ben kisses Madame Rose's cheek at a glance and then runs towards Mia who is preparing her violin.
"Hi, Mia," he said as he put down the guitar bag he was carrying.
"Die, Mr. Chevalier," said Mia nervously.
Ben looked around. Small stage that has been decorated in such a way, dominant red favorite Sue, complete with three Mcintosh amplifiers, two mic stands and one lyric stand. The man's smile expanded. Then a movement of his hand took out the guitar from the hardcase. Put up his wireless jack, then try his guitar sound.
Mia's chest rippled to notice the motion - Ben's gerik trying out his equipment. The man was really visible, though,
Sexy.
Mia swallowed her saliva with great difficulty. Still watching Ben who was looking back at him. The athletic body was wrapped in a shirt box - a brown box with blue jeans. And her blonde hair that was tied up original,
I like your hairstyle. Very like.
Mia cleared her throat slowly to smooth her dry throat.
"Voil!" said Ben after he finished arranging the guitar and the amplifier. Then he turned to look at Mia who was still staring.
"Mia's? The cable," said Ben, extending his hand to grab the jack cord in the girl's hand.
"Oh, yes, sorry," said Mia stammered. He gave the cable in his hand to Ben. The man helped her plug into the amps that were devoted to her violin.
He doesn't even mind helping to arrange things. A famous Rock Star like him. It's unbelievable. Is this a dream or is it real?
"It's ready." Ben's voice breaks Mia's daydream.
"Thanks" said Mia.
Ben smiles. Stand up and face the microphone.
"Sue," call Ben with a loudspeaker.
Sue and the others who were talking at once turned to look at Ben and Mia on stage.
"Happy birthday" said Ben made Sue smile - a smile because teased by friends. "Have you got the cake?" ask Ben then.
Sue immediately grabbed a tray containing a rainbow layer cake with a lit number 73 candle, and showed it to Ben.
"Blow the candle, Sue," said Ben.
Sue immediately blew out the candle and was greeted with cheers by friends including Madame Rose. A kiss from John landed on Sue's forehead. Applause echoed throughout the room accompanied by cheers from the elderly.
"Can I play the song?" ask Ben.
"Yes, Sweetheart," said Sue.
Ben turned his head towards Mia who was standing behind him and hinted at the girl to come forward.
"Mia, stand next to me" said Ben who saw Mia still inches behind him.
Mia's chest is back in the ripples. "Don't be nervous." Ben's smile almost messed up his concentration.
The first song that Ben and Mia played was Unchained Melody. So sweet, so romantic. Sue and John started dancing. Madame Rose sat not far from them on her wheelchair. His attention was on Ben and Mia on stage. The woman smiled. The joy was clearly visible on his vulnerable face.
Mia put down her violin and walked towards the upright piano not far from her. Ben took the microphone from his stand, and took the lyric stand with him. Then follow Mia and stand next to the piano. Ben nodded towards Mia, hinting to start the song.
Look into my eyes

Yeah, I'd die for you
You know it's true
Everything I do

"Applause to Mia" Ben said, smiling at Mia who blushed in embarrassment. The man grabbed Mia's palm and squeezed it slowly. "Good job" he whispered.
The girl just wanted to faint. Ben's hand was like a stream of electricity stinging his skin.
Somebody please slap me!

Just reminding me that Ben looks like this yes 😁
