I Am Yours, Mr Chevalier!
The Part 24
"You stopped working from Benjamin's grandmother's house?" Catherine repeated Laras' words as she put the hotdog into her mouth. Both are sitting in a cafe in the Tudor City area near the Laras apartment.
"Yep!" sahut Laras while sipping his coffee.
"Why, Laras? Don't you really need that job?" ask Catherine.
Laras shook his head slowly. Then support his chin with one hand. Looking towards the crowded streets.
"What .. has to do with Ben?" ask Catherine full of questions.
"It's more or less like that" replied Laras.
"Tell me, Laras, is that something bad?"
Baras back to shake. "It's not something bad. I just .. hmmm .. how do I tell it."
Catherine examined the look on Laras' face that turned grim.
"You like Ben" Catherine guessed.
Barrels flicked his shoulders. Lalau took a deep breath.
"I'm aware of my position .I realize who Benjamin is, and I'd better forget my silly feelings." Laras chuckles.
"Hey .. Anything can happen in this world, Laras, he said,
I'm sure Ben likes you too."
Barrel chuckling. "Likes me but dates a lot of women, you're kidding, Cath."
"Let's see, he'll definitely come after you,
Laras .. You just trust me."
"You're becoming a fortune teller now?" fashion Barrel.
Catherine laughs. A glass of juice in front of him. "Hey look at that..!" catherine exclaimed as she pointed to a large billboard located in front of a supermarket across from them.
Laras also looked. Catherine grinned to herself looking at Laras' slightly shocked facial expression.
The Rebellion New Album Intimate Showcase
saturday February 20 2020 at Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City.
The big poster of The Rebellion is plastered with clarity. Ben's handsome face again tickled his heart.
"Look, even the universe gives you a sign" Catherine said happily.
Barrels. This friend is like a Law Of Attraction expert.
"All I think about is how I paid the rent bill this month" Laras said on the sidelines of his crisp laugh.
"I'm waiting for the dealer to tell me."
Catherine nodded.
"Laras, I think you're overworked, have fun once in a while. How about we watch Rebellion this weekend?"
"You're kidding, aren't you? Did you see how much the ticket cost?" The barrel pointed at the billboard.
"300 dollars, pffft," he continued.
"I bought the ticket, okay .. Do you want it?" ask Catherine.
Baras was singing his lips. Thinking for a moment.
"I don't know," he said later.
"Come on, just watch the concert, let's just say Ben doesn't exist" Catherine asked.
"Okay, we'll see," Laras replied in the end.
Catherine patted her best friend's face slowly. Then a wide smile showed her neat rows of teeth.
***
Sidney barges into Ben's room and overpowers the sleeping man's body. Ben blinked his eyes and tried to digest what had happened.
"Ah, Sid," he said, squinting his blue eyes.
"Hey sleepy head, what time is it?" Sidney looks anxious looking at Ben's sexy waking face.
"Why did you come so early in the morning, I was still sleepy" Ben said as he pushed the woman's body slowly. Then turn your body to the side and pull back the blanket. Sidney snorted in annoyance.
"Ben .. It's 11pm, you promised to accompany me shopping today" his grunts with a pouting face. Accompanying shopping means Ben has to pay for everything the woman will buy.
"Can't we just delay tomorrow?" ben asked with closed eyes. As if he refused to open it.
"Look at me dressed up."
"Just open your shirt and get in the blanket,"
ben said at the time. This woman is really troublesome, he thought.
"You're such a bitch, Ben!" hardik the woman was upset.
Ben could have gotten up and obeyed Sidney's request. It was just that he had no passion to do anything today. Tired of the work on his new album he had just finished, and also the face of Laras that suddenly flashed in his mind. Ben missed the girl.
The sound of the door slamming loudly. Apparently Sidney left with her annoyance. Ben just put his shoulder out. No intention of chasing that woman. His sleepiness suddenly disappeared. Her footsteps went to the bathroom.
