I Am Yours, Mr Chevalier!
The Part 73
Two o'clock in the morning. Laras lay on his beloved sofa with his eyes staring at the television screen but his mind was occupied with the memories of that afternoon in Boucherie. Anita says things that bother her a little. How close were he and Ben? Until that woman was so heavy to let Ben go.
The knock on the door made him gasp. Ben's? baras' chest is pounding. He took a step towards the door and opened it slightly to see who was behind it.
Laras heart warmed up as soon as he saw the blonde figure who was commenting on his sweet smile. He hung on his back a medium-sized black backpack.
"Can I come in?" asked Ben who saw Laras stupefied.
"Owh .. sure." The barrel opened the door and let Ben in.
Ben placed his backpack on the sofa, then rushed towards Laras who had just finished closing the door again. Gently smacked the lips of the girl. The barrels welcomed him coldly. Still bothered by her thoughts about Anita.
"What's wrong, baby?" ask Ben astonished. Then guide Laras to sit on the sofa.
Laras just silently looked at Ben's handsome face. Thinking about the closeness of Ben and his ex-girlfriend in the past made him feel a little upset.
"Laras, what's wrong? Is something wrong?"
Laras. Then smiled wryly at Ben.
"Come here." Ben grabbed Laras' head and buried it in his chest. The girl just curled up in Ben's arms with the knee position that is fused with his chest.
"Ben?"
"Yes?"
"Did you love Anita so much?" ask Laras. The girl knew the consequences. Asking Ben's past romance will definitely make him upset and hurt.
"Why ask that?"
" I just wanted to ask."
"Do I have to answer?" ask Ben.
Barrels flicked his shoulders. Closing his eyes and getting ready to listen to Ben's answer will probably make him, jealous.
"Didn't that not matter anymore?" said Ben.
"Then why is he still chasing you?" refutation Barrel.
"That's her problem, not mine."
Laras grunted softly. Delayed her soft Ben chest.
"So you won't answer?" ask Laras. He looked up at Ben who was lying down. The girl scrunched her face.
"Okay .. Do you want me to be honest, or to lie?" challenge Ben. Barrels just grimacing. Then pulled her body from Ben's embrace and sat down to put some distance with the man.
"Yes I fell in love with her. I thought she was the last woman I would live with to death. I thought so because we fought together to achieve success .. we lived together, we supported each other, we were in love .. but, you know ...." Ben stopped his words, then turned towards Laras. "See? I'm not a womanizer, if I'm in love with someone, I'm loyal" Ben said.
"Okay .. How now? I mean .your feeling for her."
Ben shook his head slowly. "Pity, maybe."
"She's georgeous, Ben .. come on, don't you feel anything just admiring her beauty?"
"Don't lure me, Baras." Ben points at Laras's face, warning the girl to stop interrogating him about her ex-boyfriend, which is certain that if Ben misspokes it will trigger a conflict. Fucking women!
"I just want to know" said Laras.
"Hey, why are you suddenly asking this? Are you jealous?" ben Goda.
Laras. "It's your dream!" hardik Laras's. Ben laughed at hearing that. Why not admit that you are jealous.
Ben's phone vibrated in his pants pocket. Ben took a quick look at it, breathing slowly.
"Should I pick up the phone?" asked Ben while showing his phone screen to Laras. Anita's name is listed.
"Just whatever!" laras. His face turned grim.
"Okay, let it go" said Ben, who noticed the change in the face of Laras, putting the phone on the table.
"No, no, just pick it up!" prevent Barrel.
"Are you sure?"
Laras nodded. Then folded both his hands on his chest. Then lean his back against the sofa.
"You're not coming home tonight, Ben?" Anita's voice was heard from Ben's phone.
"Yep," replied Ben shortly. His gaze was directed at Laras, his smile expanding. The girl was pouting, so funny.
"I really need to talk to you."
"Not tonight, I'm busy .. good night, Anita." Ben hung up. Then put the thing back on the table.
"I have to say to you, Laras .. she means nothing to me now, she's just a friend to me."
"Hmm." Barrel responds to cold.
"You want to?" bargain Ben while giving away his cigarette pack. Barrels take a stick. Ben immediately helped turn it on.
"Thanks" said Laras.
"You want to offer me a bottle of wine, maybe?" ask Ben.
"Owh .. yeah, sure." Barrel moved from his seat and stepped into the kitchen. He soon returned with a bottle of red wine, two long-legged glasses and a bottle opener.
Ben grabbed the bottle opener and stuck the curly iron into the wine cap, then turned the handle deftly. Laras was surprised to see his girlfriend. The attacking moment of a handsome man opening a wine bottle was a truly beautiful sight and also adorable.
"Thanks" said Laras as Ben finished pouring the red liquid into his glass.
"You want to come with me to Chicago?" ask Ben.
Laras thought for a moment while smoking a cigarette tucked between his index and middle fingers.
"I want to, but I don't think I can, college assignments and jobs pile up, anyway I don't want to follow you, what people will think of me later."
Ben chuckles. "Why care about other people?"
"Because .my boyfriend is Benjamin Chevalier." Barrels slithered, making Ben chuckle.
"I'm just an ordinary man" said Ben, then sipped his glass of wine.
Barrel changed his sitting position. The girl is facing Ben.
"My answer," said Laras. The girl soaked her throat with a mouthful of wine. A warm feeling flowed throughout his body.
"What's your question?"
"Why do you like me?"
"Hm .. I don't like you, Baras." Ben was silent for a moment. Laras squeaked his forehead. "But I love you."
Laras. "Yes, yes . whatever, but why? Why do you love me? What do you see in me, Ben?"
"Hmmm ...." Ben was silent again. It seems like the man is thinking hard. He saw that Laras was putting on his serious face, waiting for an answer from him.
Ben took a deep breath. "You know, Laras, if your heart has chosen then you can't deny it?"
"You sound like Catherine" murmured Laras.
"Ohya? See?" Ben smiled winning.
The barrel straightened his legs onto the table. Smile expands. He re-painted his wine glass.
"Owh .. You said Chicago, didn't you?" ask Baras suddenly.
"Yeah?" Ben tilted his face.
"It's okay." Laras undoes his intention to say something. Ben clucked. The glass was on the table. Then it approached towards Laras, pulled the girl's hand and clasped her tightly. The barrel thrashed there.
"Say it!" exclaim Ben without any intention of releasing Laras.
"Ben, I can't breathe!"
"Say it!" call Ben back. This time while kissing the neck of Laras until the girl jumped because of amused.
"Okay, okay .. Hailey, you'll meet him there!" shouted Laras while forming a defense with both hands. "Stop it, Ben!" tepis Laras as Ben launches his next attack.
Ben chuckles. Now hugged Laras gently.
"Yes, I'll meet him there" Ben replied. Laras breathed deeply.
"Hey . I don't like that girl. Really!"
Barrel cupped his face with both hands. "Why are you always surrounded by beautiful women" Laras grumbled. Oh shit, it's getting carried away. Must be the wine.
"You're the most beautiful."
"Bulls*it!"
"It's true!"
"I don't believe you."
Ben looked at the gnarled Baras.
"Don't ever think about it!" Laras narrowed his eyes when he saw Ben's ignorant face and instantly knew what was on the man's head.
"No, Ben, put me down .. Ben!" laras screams when without cue Ben pulls his body and holds it in his chest. He pushed the door of the room slowly with his feet. Then shut the door tight.
"Basic jerk!" makian Laras's incendiary voice was heard, accompanied by Ben's laughter that scattered.
