I Am Yours, Mr Chevalier!
The Part 116
Mia stands in front of a cafe on the streets of Brownsville which is quite quiet. His gaze was fixed on the empty table behind the glass window. The shadow of him and Brandon sitting in a chat enjoying a glass of hot chocolate flashed across his head. Heart's deserted.
Breathing in - deep. Then with a heavy heart the girl slowly stepped away from the place.
.
.
Brandon Boyd, where are you? I'd like to buy you dinner. If you are not busy.
Mia reread the message she sent to Brandon half an hour ago. There was no sign yet of his best friend replying to his message. The girl glanced at the wall clock in her room. Showing at 20:30. The breath in - deep. Then put his phone on the nightstand.
The girl curled up while pulling her thick blanket. Trying to close his eyes, but nil. The shadow of Ben Chevalier's face flashed without excuse. The pain hit his chest again. Mia covered her face with a blanket. His breathing sounded heavy.
What's wrong with me!
The phone on the nightstand vibrates. He quickly grabbed it and examined it.
Lamia, I'm sorry I forgot to bring my phone. I just got home from watching a movie with Sarah.
Mia's lips pursed reading Brandon's message.
Of course, Brand, of course! Mia shook her head slowly, then put the phone back on the nightstand, with no intention of replying to a message from Brandon. He then covered his face with a blanket.
The sound of police car sirens on the streets was deafening. Be her lullaby every night.

LINDEN CENTRE BROOKLYN.
Mia stepped her foot out of the main building. His steps quickly left the courtyard and came to a halt to see a tall figure standing leaning against the wall on the side of the gate. Smile expands.
"Brandon Boyd!" his screech while scattering on the man who was looking at him with a ignorant smile on his lips. I don't know why Mia was so happy to see her best friend.
"I miss you." Mia tightened her embrace at Brandon who looked shocked, but her face was bright.
Brandon chuckles. "You miss me? How long have we not seen each other?"
"I don't know, I feel like you're far away now."
Brandon scrambled the top of Mia's head in agitation.
"Is your offer to buy me dinner still valid?" ask Brandon.
"Of course."
"You got a lot of money now?"
Mia grimacing. "Rebellion paid me quite a lot."
"Ouwh, it's so good to hear that" Brandon said as he grabbed Mia's hair and slipped her behind the girl's ear. Then fix the location of Mia's scarf that began to loosen.
"So cute" he said later.
.
.
"See you, Nana."
Ben kissed Madame Rose's cheek gently and stepped out of her grandmother's room. Tracing the empty corridor and then down through the stairs to the lobby. Several female nurses who passed by him greeted enthusiastically. The man greeted me kindly.
Exiting the main door, her steps came to a halt when she saw Mia from a distance chatting with a man. Ben looked at the two for a moment. The girl looks happy. Occasionally his tiny fist smacked the man's chest slowly between his laughter.
Sweet.
It did not feel like his eyes were following every move - the long black haired girl snickered. His simple smile came up. Until Mia and the man disappear from her eyes, Ben is still stunned.

"Wow, it's beautiful" Mia murmured as she looked around. The lights from the skyscrapers across and beside the river so stunning his eyes. Brandon just smiled as he was busy chewing his burger.
"Brand ...," he called.
"Yeah?"
"What am I supposed to do?"
"About what?"
"Ben Chevalier's. Do you think I should go after him?"
Brandon paused his intention to bite off the rest of his burger. His appetite suddenly disappeared.
"You can answer it yourself, Lamia." Brandon said bitterly.
"I'm scared." Mia turned her face. "Fear she'll reject me."
Brandon followed Mia's movements looking up at the dark sky. His eyes are empty.
"If you kiss a woman on the lips, what do you think?" ask Mia.
"Hmmm .. I like that woman, maybe."
"Why do you think Ben kissed me?"
Brandon scrunched his forehead slowly. "Lamia, why don't you just ask him?" His voice is a little shaky.
Mia answered, Brandon's phone rang. The man immediately reached into his pants pocket. "Yes, Baby?" he said as soon as the phone was connected to the other side. "I was with Lamia at Bridge Park." Brandon turned to look at Mia who was also looking at him.
"Ouwh, are you in my apartment? Okay, I'll be there soon."
Brandon hung up and put it back in his pants pocket.
"Sadah?" ask Mia.
"Yes. I'll take you home first."
Mia breathed a disappointed breath. He still wanted to linger in that place for a long time. Clamoring to Brandon as usual. But he realized, his best friend was no longer alone.
"Okay." Mia said softly. Then he got up from his seat followed by Brandon.
"Come here." Brandon grabbed Mia's tiny body and held her tightly. The man closed his eyes. Enjoying the warm body of the girl he loved so much. "Be strong," he whispered as he stroked Mia's back gently.
Mia smiled slightly in Brandon's arms. The warm energy channeled by his best friend was so comfortable and calm. Mia would not refuse if all night was in her arms. Maybe he will even sleep well.
"Come on."
Brandon's voice made him gasp. Mia let go of his embrace, then clumsily turned around and walked ahead of Brandon.
You're so fucked, Lamia!
