I Am Yours, Mr Chevalier!
The Part 126
LINDEN CENTRE BROOKLYN.
Mia plays upright piano attached to the wall in the dining room is quite large and crowded by the elderly who are enjoying their lunch.
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata sounded too sentimental to accompany a cheerful and laugh-filled lunch. But it was a request from Sue, a friend of Madame Rose who some time ago had a birthday.
Mia played the classic 1801 song nicely. His fingers were so good at playing the black and white keys.
In 7. 25 songs ended. Applause echoed from throughout the room. Mia just shook her head and laughed softly.
"Benji!!
"Benji, come here, Handsome!"
"Oh, Benji, Sweetheart!"
Screeches of the elderly who were mostly women were heard from behind his back. Mia immediately turned her head and found Ben who was busy greeting one by one the grandmothers who looked like teenage girls who were meeting his idol. Hystericals.
Ben smiled at Mia as he walked over to Madame Rose who was sitting down to enjoy lunch with Sue. Mia continues her piano playing with Henry Mancini's A Time For Us, Romeo And Juliet's soundtrack.

"Hey, it's a rush."
Ben grabbed Mia's hand which was walking hurriedly out of the building. Makes the girl aghast.
"Emm . i - yes, my friends .. are waiting." Mia answered with a little. He glimpsed his hand which was being held by the handsome man beside him.
"Rehearsals?"
Mia nodded.
"Can I bring you?"
Mia was back. The shadow of Brandon's face briefly appeared on his head.
No, no, I don't want to make him sick.
"No need!" his screeches. "I mean, you don't have to drive me."
"Why? Can't I drive my own boyfriend?" satirize Ben with his mischievous smile.
A boyfriend? Shit, I forgot.
"Come ...."
"No, Ben .. seriously."
Ben who was still holding Mia's hand stopped his steps and turned towards the girl.
"Why?" ask Ben astonished.
Mia hurriedly released her hand from Ben's armband.
"It's okay - what. Sorry, I'm hunting."
Mia walks past Ben who is increasingly astonished to see her attitude. But the man could only raise his hand.

Mia put down her violin bag and began to prepare her favorite musical instrument along with the equipment for her to stammer.
"Damn it, Brandon can't practice today." William shows the screen of the phone containing a message from Brandon.
"What's wrong?" ask Mia.
"There is an important business with .. Sarah." - Sarah." William reread Brandon's message on his phone screen. His forehead flinched. "Are they back together?" ask Bryan who immediately put his shoulder.
Mia took a deep breath - deep. "So, how was our training today?"
"Well, shall we just delay?" ask Bryan.
"Bas a jerk," said William.
Mia's revamping her violin. Put it in a soft case and then carry it.
"You want to go straight home?" ask William.
Mia glanced at the clock on her wrist. At 18:30. "Yeah, I feel tired anyway," he said. "See you, guys."
Mia waved at William and Bryan and then stepped out of the room.
.
.
"Baby, I want some beer."
There was the sound of a woman's voice coming from behind him. Forcing him to look at it. But the figure beside the woman made him gasp. And the two who were standing before him surprised him.
"Brand .. Sarah." - Sarah." Nervously she said hello.
"Hi, Lamia." Sarah approached Mia and hugged her at a glance. Brandon was still standing in his place. Staring at him with a gaze that was difficult to decipher.
"You .. emm ...." Mia pointed at Sarah and Brandon in turn.
"Yeah, we're back together." Sarah embraced Brandon with affection. Makes Mia wrong. His feelings arrived - suddenly became erratic.
"I'm sorry I couldn't take part in the training" Brandon said, letting go of Sarah's arms slowly.
"It's okay, I feel a little tired anyway." Mia tried to force her smile. "Bye, guys."
Mia turned her body and stepped away from the two. Sarah pulls Brandon's arm, which still looks at Mia's tiny back, and disappears behind the high shelves. The woman tried to turn Brandon's attention towards her.

Mia opened the door of her apartment and walked slowly towards the kitchen. Then put all the items he bought at the supermarket a moment ago into the refrigerator.
"Hey, why are you coming home so soon? Don't you have a rehearsal tonight?" asked Ashley who was sitting on the sofa while watching television.
Mia walked over to Ashley and dropped her ass beside her.
"Brandon can't train tonight," he answered listlessly. "And I met him at the supermarket, with Sarah."
Ashley rounded her eyes. Now the girl turned her attention away from the movie she was watching on Mia.
"They're back together?" tanyakanya.
Mia pressed her shoulders. "Maybe."
"Will told me that Sarah sucks."
Mia leaned her back. Stretch the muscles - muscles that feel stiff.
"Ash, I'm so confused" he said, cupping his cheeks with his palm.
"What's wrong?"
Mia took her breath in - deep. "I'm dating Ben Chevalier."
"What's? Wow . wow .. seriously?"
Mia nodded. "I should be happy. But, it doesn't feel like I imagined. I'm confused."
"Why?"
"I don't know. I don't seem to want it much anymore. I like Ben. It's just .. ahh, I don't know how to explain."
"Are you in love with someone else?" ask Ashley. Then a moment later the girl was strangled. "Brandon's? You're in love with Brandon?"
"I don't know, Ash, I don't know." Mia hid her face behind her palm. "I don't feel comfortable seeing her with another woman."
"Wow!"
"I know, I know. It's a complicated feeling."
"I still can't believe you're dating Benjamin Chevalier. It's amazing!"
Mia hissing. "I think Ben is still haunted by the shadows of his late wife. Maybe he felt I reminded him of Laras." Mia sighed softly. "But I don't think about it too much."
"You don't mind that?"
"Not really. Weird, right? I should have been jealous." Mia stroked her head slowly. "I'm stupid why I agreed so quickly when Ben asked me to be his girlfriend. I'm not so sure yet."
Ashley leaned back. "You need time to think things through clearly. Who exactly did you choose."
"This is stress me out, Gosh!"
Mia closed her eyes. Trying to eliminate all the shaking that spread in his chest. The girl was really exhausted. Both mentally and physically.
Oh, New York is tough!
