I Am Yours, Mr Chevalier!
The Part 74
"I'm going to Chicago tonight."
Ben helped Laras stir the eggs in a bowl, while the girl was busy smearing butter on some fresh bread.
"Okay," said Short-lived.
"Just two days." Ben tilted his face, looking towards Laras. She looked so beautiful this morning.
Laras squinted his eyes. "So?"
"Yes, just two days and I'll come back to you."
Laras chuckles. So sweet, Ben.
"Or you just come with me."
"Can't, Ben." The barrel rolled both of his eyeballs. Ben took a deep breath.
"It's a pity," murmured Ben withstanding his disappointment. Then pour the egg that he has stirred on the frying pan, then stir it back into a scramble egg.
Baras just smiled as he put the fresh bread sheet into the toaster. While waiting for the bread to ripen, Laras rested his body on the wall of his narrow kitchen. Look at Ben who is flipping through his cooking.
"Bbn ...."
"Yes" said Ben, turning towards Laras at a glance.
"Is Anita still in your apartment?" ask Laras.
"Maybe, I don't know." Ben pulled his shoulder.
Laras sighed softly. "I feel sorry for him, he seems to have high hopes for you."
Ben turned off the stove then stepped towards Laras, then leaned his body beside the girl.
"Let it be the process of his life." Ben gave his wise words.
"Do you still feel hurt because he left you?" ask Laras.
Ben chuckles. "Absolutely not."
Baras smiled, then faced towards Ben. Wrap his arm around the neck of the guitarist who greets him by holding his waist gently. The tiptoed barrel then kissed Ben's lips at a glance.
"I love you, Ben." Baras looked at Ben's blue eyes sharply.
"I love you more" said Ben while stroking Laras cheek slowly. Makes the girl smile. Then lean his head against Ben's chest while holding him tightly.

Barrel walked quickly out of his class past the few women in the corridor who were staring at him with sharp eyes. There were some who whispered and smiled cynically at a glance. Barrels know what's in their brains. It's been a risk close to Ben.
Laras felt that someone was following him and tried to line up the steps beside him. The girl looked over, her chest rippling. Claire.
"Without, right?" ask Claire. Sweet smile rises.
"Yeah?" The barrel stopped and faced toward Claire. Ah, this girl is so pretty, damn you Ben, why is your ex-boyfriend all pretty!
"I'm Claire." The girl extended her hand. Baras immediately greeted him.
"I know."
"I think we should get acquainted, we have the same position, don't we? Dating the same man."
Baras' chest is pounding. There was pain in his heart. But the girl tried to control her emotions.
"You're still dating Ben?" ask Laras with mixed feelings.
Claire sighed softly. "Well, I can say I'm still dating her. You know, Ben didn't commit anything to me, he came when he needed me. And I'll be ready anytime."
Baras' heart seemed to be struck by a hard object hearing Claire's words. The girl closed her eyes for a moment, enduring the pain that gnawed at her chest.
"You're Ben's new date, I think he's busy with you, I'll wait until he misses me."
Goddamn bum! I'm not Ben's date!
The barrel clenched both of his hands tightly.
"I'm sorry, I gota go ...." Laras forced his smile and said goodbye to Claire who looked at him with a cynical look hidden behind her beautiful brown eyes.
Barrels dropped himself on his favorite long wooden chair on campus, under a shady oak tree. He took a deep breath to control his uncertain feelings. Baras glanced at his watch. At 12:00.
The girl thought for a moment. Then he got up from his seat and stepped out through the campus gate.
The barrel waved towards the yellow taxi passing by.
"Time Warner Center, please," he told the taxi driver as he sat in the back seat. The middle east-faced man nodded. Then drive the car out of the Columbia area.

Doubtfully Baras pressed the bell on the silver door bearing the number 1005.
"Hallo, how can I help you?" ask Marry.
"Hi, Madame, I want to see Ben."
answered Laras with a smile.
Marry scrunched his forehead. In his heart thought maybe Laras was one of Ben's fanatics.
"Emm .. Do you have an appointment, Miss?" ask Marry. Laras breathed deeply. Then shake.
"Then I'm sorry, I can't haphazardly bring fans to Ben." Marry showed his regretful facial expression to Laras.
"I'm not a fan of her, Madame. I'm ...."
Laras did not continue his words when someone called out to Marry from within.
"Marry, who are you talking to?"
Marry gestured for Laras to wait for a while. Then shut the door tight.
"Hey, who's outside Marry?" ask Ben who just picked up a bottle of beer from the kitchen.
"Ah, Ben .. There's an Asian girl who wants to see you, maybe your fanatic, do you want to see her?"
Ben rounded his eyes. Asian girl? Ben immediately walked past the astonished Marry and immediately opened the door.
"Related? baby?" Ben looked surprised mixed with excitement.
The barrel simply folds both arms in front of the chest. Lips whining. Ben took Laras' hand and invited him in. Marry who was still standing in the living room immediately left the two.
"Bbn ...." Laras splashed into Ben's arms and buried his head there.
"Hey, hey .. What's the matter, baby?" asked Ben while stroking the head of the soft barrel.
"My heart feels like it's messed up" whined Laras.
"Tell me what's wrong, love?"
Laras releases his hug on Ben and sits on the sofa.
"Would you like something to drink?" tawp Ben's. Laras shook his head, then pulled Ben's hand to sit beside him.
"I don't want to look like an angry or jealous girlfriend" Laras said. Ben laughed softly. Very anxious to see the expression of the face of Laras. The expression between angry and spoiled at the same time.
"You can be angry or jealous as you please, you make me anxious" Ben teased.
"Ben, I'm serious!" hardik Laras is upset.
"Okay, okay, baby ...." Ben asked for mercy.
"Have two women you've dated come to me, saying things that make me upset" Laras grumbled.
Ben rounded his eyes. "Ohya?"
Hissing barrel. Once upon a time saw the reaction of Ben who had no sin.
"What exactly did you do to them, why couldn't they let you go? And I should be the target of their frustration towards you!"
"Rev .. I'm sorry baby, come here." Ben pulls Laras' hand but soon the girl brushes him off.
"I'm so upset, Ben .. I'd love to beat you up!" exclamation Baras.
"Okay, baby .. Just hit me, here ...." Ben again drew Laras' hand and moved Laras' hand to beat his cheek and chest. But Laras instead splashed into his arms once again making Ben smile broadly.
"I love you, Laras .. remember that, okay?"
Laras nodded his head and tightened his embrace.
Greg emerged from the music room and made the pair let go of their embrace awkwardly.
"Hi Laras ...." Greg waved his hand.
"Hi .. Greg," said Laras with a smile.
Greg glanced at Ben at a glance then walked towards the kitchen. Picking up a bottle of beer then walking past Ben and Laras to get into the music room again.
