I Am Yours, Mr Chevalier!
Part 72's
"Let me take her to Ben's room."
Anita grabs a tray containing a glass teapot and a cup from the hands of Rosita, Ben's housekeeper.
"Are you sure, Miss Wallis?" ask Rosita.
Anita nodded. Then take the tray upstairs where Ben's room is.
Hesitantly Anita knocks on Ben's bedroom door slowly.
"Come in!" Ben's voice was in the room. Anita opened the door and stepped in.
Ben who was tidying up some clothes and put them in his big bag was surprised to see the arrival of Anita.
"I brought you some tea" Anita said as she placed the tray on the table.
"Oww.thanks" said Ben.
Anita sat on the sofa, watching her ex-boyfriend who was again busy with his activities.
"Ben," call him.
"Yes?"
"You didn't come home last night?"
"Uh-huh."
Anita sighed softly. "I need you, Ben," he said. Ben looked towards the beautiful woman. Face bowed. It looks like Anita is crying.
"No, no .. don't cry, Anita," Ben said as he stopped putting clothes in his bag.
Anita sobbing. Ben closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then approach the woman. Anita immediately rushed into Ben's arms.
"Don't leave me, Ben .. please!" his sobs.
"Anita, don't put me in a difficult situation like this .. Listen, I'll help you as much as I can, okay?"
Ben stroked Anita's back gently. Anita tightened her embrace. Dunked his face in Ben's chest.
"Give me a chance, Ben .give yourself a chance to open your heart back to me .. I need you so much" said Anita still with her sobs.
Ben releases Anita's embrace and holds her ex-lover's shoulder.
Anita looked at Ben fixedly with her green eyes wet with tears, then without cueing at Ben's lips greedily. Ben pushes Anita's body slowly, giving a rejection to what Anita did to him.
"Anita, listen . I can't go back to you, I have someone now, I love her so much."
Anita's crying broke again. He covered his face with both palms.
"I'll help you solve your financial problems, I promise, okay?" persuade Ben. Anita moved from her seat. Then half ran the woman out of Ben's room.

"Ras, there is a guest asking you who canterin his order tuh .. tau actress, Anita Wallis," Maya told Laras who was busy tidying dishes to the shelf.
"Huh?" exclaims Baras shocked. "Anita Wallis?" tanyakanya. The chest of the barrel is pounding. It must have something to do with Ben. What the hell is this?
"Hunting," Maya said. Baras immediately snatched the tray containing Anita's food order and stepped towards the table that was outside the restaurant room. He saw a beautiful and graceful woman with her sunglasses sitting and busy with her cellphone.
As soon as she saw the arrival of Laras, Anita opened her glasses and smiled.
"Good afternoon" said Laras, placing Anita's food order on the table.
"Can I talk to you?" ask Anita without further ado. The barrel swept a glance around him. The atmosphere of the restaurant was quite quiet, the girl decided to agree with Anita's words.
The barrel pulls the chair across the table. "Sure" he said, sitting in front of Anita.
"How far are you from Ben?" ask Anita. Baras' chest thumped hearing Ben's name called.
"Why?" The barrel asked. The girl tried to behave as reasonably as possible.
Anita smiled cynically. "Did Ben ever tell you about our relationship?"
"Little."
"You should know how close Ben and I were, he was crazy about me, I know he was devastated when I left him, and that's the biggest regret of my life." Anita closed her eyes for a moment, then took a deep breath. "After that Ben started dating a lot of women, but it was just to cover up his heartache for me" Anita explained.
Barrel smiled wryly. "So, what are you trying to say actually?"
"I don't mean to frighten you, Laras .. or hurt you, I just want to say, no matter how far along you are with Ben, you're only on the run, you're on the run, just like the women he dated before."
Laras sighed softly. He saw that beautiful face in front of him.
"If Ben only thinks of me like the women he used to date, you shouldn't have to worry. And you don't have to bother coming here and telling me all this."
"I just sympathize with you, before your feelings for Ben get deeper, you better leave him, let me get his heart back, I beg you, Laras." Anita grabbed Laras' hand and held it tightly. The face of the woman is a condition of hope.
"You'd better talk to Ben right away." Barrel pulled his hand. Her red cheeks held back the berserkness in her chest.
"Ben won't listen to me, because he's obsessed with you right now. But I'm sure it's just for a little while. You'll be left behind as soon as he gets bored."
"I don't know how to respond, you're begging me for something I can't do. Yeah, I fell in love with Ben, and vice versa. I'm sorry if it hurt you, Miss Wallis," Laras said.
Anita nodded slowly. His green eyes began to heat up and condense.
"I must continue my work, good afternoon, Miss Wallis," said Laras. Anita did not answer. She saw the little lady's back disappear behind the restaurant's glass door. The woman nodded back. What else does he have to do to get Ben back? Does he have to wait until Ben sees the girl?
Anita plays her food with a fork. He had no intention of putting it in his mouth. His mood is really fucked.
