I Am Yours, Mr Chevalier!
The Part 13
The clock shows at two in the morning. Barrel opened his eyes. His throat feels dry. The girl got up from her bed and stepped into the kitchen. The kitchen is so dark. Touch the kitchen switch near the door. The lights are on.
"Geez!" pekiknya was surprised when he saw the figure of Ben who was sitting in the mini bar in the middle of the room while holding a bottle of alcoholic beverages that seemed to be whiskey. "You're scared me, Ben." The barrel walked past the man towards the refrigerator.
Ben chuckles. "Sorry, Laras," he said.
The barrel takes a box of orange juice and pours it into a glass. He quickly sipped the yellow fresh liquid to moisten his dry throat.
Ben looked at Laras' movements until the girl felt uncomfortable herself. Ben's smile was on its way.
"Why do you see me that? Do I look weird?" ask Laras while checking yourself. Find out if there is something wrong in him.
"You look good, Baras," said Ben made Laras' chest swish.
Ben put the bottle of whiskey he was holding onto the bar table. Then he got up from his seat and walked closer to Laras. The chest of the barrel is pounding fast. His throat choked instantly and made it difficult to swallow.
Ben brought his face closer to Laras's. That heavy alcohol-scented breath swept across Laras' face. The girl took a step back but Ben's hand grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. Ben ****** his lips immediately until Laras did not have time to avoid.
For a moment Laras enjoyed a kiss on Ben's warm lips. This is the second time they kiss, with Ben under the influence of alcohol. Ben's hand started to mischievously and moved towards his chest and squeezed it slowly. Barrel wakes up and pulls Ben's hand away.Pushing the man's body rough.
"Owh Laras, come on, why are you rejecting me?" pinta Ben weld. His eyes looked at Laras sayu.
"You're drunk, Ben," Laras said as he walked away from the place. But Ben quickly grabbed his hand.
"Let go!" exclamation Baras. Ben took off his hand and let Laras go.
Laras shut the door of his room tightly.
The girl leaned her body against the door while sighing deeply.
Eyes closed. His heart is beating fast. Bite the lip that was in contact with Ben's lips. It is undeniable that Laras tried his hardest to resist the temptation to make out with the man. But Laras is aware, Ben does that with many women, and Laras does not want to be trapped by his own feelings. Barrel was so scared of the heartache.

After waiting for Lupita to return to work, Laras said goodbye to Madame Rose. This afternoon is his schedule to practice dance at the Consul General.
Barrel put on his coat and scarf and then walked out of Madame Rose's house.
"Relove .. wait!" exclaim someone. Baras breathed a heavy sigh. The girl could already guess who the owner of the voice was.
"I'll take you, please .. don't turn me down this time," asked Ben as he pressed the remote button of his car parked in front of the house.
"No need, Ben," said Laras, turning to Ben at a glance, then continuing his steps.
"I want to apologize for last night!"
exclaim Ben. The Baras step stopped. The girl turned her body. Looking towards the blue-eyed handsome man.
"It's okay . you're drunk anyway.you didn't really know what you were doing" said Flat-solid. Trying to hide the berserkness in his chest.
"So as a sign of my apology, let me drive you home, please." Ben put his palms together pleading.
Laras breathed back. Then accept Ben's request. The man smiled, then immediately opened the car door for Laras.
A few minutes later, both of them were in the car.
"You can take me to the Indonesian Consulate" Laras said as Ben began driving.
"I have a show there."
"May I know what show it is?"
"Just dance practice."
"Owh .. Are you a dancer?"
"Not professionally, just a hobby. Some time ago there was a fellow Indonesian friend of mine who asked me to join their team for a performance on the eve of Columbia's birthday celebration" Laras said.
"really? That's great .. You know Rebellion will be performing that night?" ben asked with sparkling eyes.
"Yeah, I know," replied Laras.
"This may just be a coincidence, it looks like your team will be the backup dancers for one of the songs we will be performing" Ben said, making Laras' eyes round.
"Ohya?" ask Laras not to believe.
"Yeah ..that's great, right?"
Laras nodded then smiled. His chest rippled back. Why is this man so charming, his inner. Baras tried to dismiss the strange thoughts that began to control his brain.
"By the way, I think we've arrived." Ben's voice breaks the Barrel's daydream.
"Owh, okay ..thanks, Ben," Laras said as he opened the car door.
"See you tomorrow, Laras," said Ben who made Laras a little surprised. But the girl just smiled and then closed the car door. Ben waited until Laras got inside the gray-painted building, and drove his car away.

"Laras ..duh very long time no see," said Maya when Laras arrived in a room that is quite spacious. There are several Indonesian women of her age there. Baras greeted them one by one and introduced himself.
"Yes, May .. You're healthy right?" asked Laras as he opened his coat and placed it in place of the coat hanger.
"Yes this is .. ohya I have not told you, yesterday my phone committee, we will be a backup dancer in one of the songs performed by The Rebellion," said Maya.
"Yes I know .emm I mean, I think it's the truth." Laras hastily corrected his words. There's no way that Laras told Maya that Ben had told her. There will be a long explanation.
"Konjen had already contacted his manager The Rebellion to make a training schedule together."
"Training together?"
"It's Laras, you want to be spontaneous on that stage."
Barrel grimacing. Stupid question, the mind.
"Tomorrow his training at their studio at 10am, you're free right?" ask Maya.
"I don't have a lecture tomorrow anyway, most leave for work at 3 pm."
"Some that's it."
It's worth Ben saying "see you tomorrow" earlier, his inner self. The little smiling barrel. There was a burning warmth filling his chest. But back to the taste of it. The more he nurtured his taste towards the man, the more ill it would become. Baras knows and Laras is aware of that. Laras realizes who Ben is and should he keep his distance from the man.
