I Am Yours, Mr Chevalier!
The Part 77
The barrel opened its eyes when it felt the plane shaking slightly due to the small turbulence. Seen Ben was watching a movie from a medium-sized screen in front of him while holding a glass filled with wine.
"Hey, you're awake" said Ben with a beaming face. "Do you want some wine?" bargained for.
"Orange juice, please," said Laras while glancing at a box of orange juice from the packaging looks fresh.
"Nurus ...." Ben poured the fresh orange juice into the prepared glass.
Laras smiled as he thanked his lover. Then immediately wet his throat that felt dry.
"Ben ..it seems like I can't wait until Portland to hear your story" Laras said.
Ben took a deep breath, then clasped Laras' palm tightly.
"But promise me you won't get mad and accuse me of anything, okay?"
Laras squeaked his forehead. Now his chest is pounding. "Is it something bad?"
Ben shakes. "Listen, baby ...." Ben then relates the details of the incident in Chicago with Hailey.
"So you slept with her?" pekik Laras while pulling the rough palm of his hand from Ben's grasp. The girl's face flushed instantly withstanding the anger.
"No, dear .. I mean yes, but sleep in the real sense, not sleep that way." Ben plays both index fingers and his middle finger makes like a quote.
"How can you be sure you're not sleeping with him? You're drunk!" sumpul Laras emphasized the word "sleep" right in front of Ben's face.
" I swear, I mean .. I'm one hundred percent sure!"
Hissing barrel. Then he turned his face towards the window. He folded both hands in front of his chest.
"I'm so sorry, Laras .. baby, please don't get mad," Ben persuaded as he stroked the arms of the soft barrel. But the girl brushed it off immediately.
"Laras .. please," said Ben frustrated. But the girl did not flinch. "Baby, please talk to me." He touched Baras' arm again but the girl pulled him back.
"Leave me alone!" exclamation Laras while looking at Ben with eyes full of anger that makes Ben shudder in horror.
In the end Ben let his lover drown with his anger. Give him time to cool his head back.

PORTLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, PORTLAND, OREGON.
Ben tries to reach for Laras' hand which goes a few steps behind him but the girl rejects him. His face was still bent, a sign of anger still controlling him.
"Come, the road beside me" Ben said, stopping his way to the airport exit.
"You go first," refused the cold barrel.
Ben rattled his hair in frustration. Then looked at Laras with a pleading gaze.
"I told you to go first!" snapped Laras.
"Okay, okay . but don't disappear." Ben warned. Laras. Basic sucks!
The two then walked to the airport exit. There had been waiting for a black luxury mercy car with the driver standing next to him, nodding respectfully at Ben's arrival, followed by Laras a few steps behind him.
"Good evening Mr. Chevalier," said the driver, whose physical appearance seemed to be in his fifties. He was one of the Chevalier family's private drivers.
The man opens the back door of the car for Ben.
"Hi, Brian." Ben welcomed the greeting of the man named Brian. Ben allowed Laras to enter first.
"Good evening, Miss," Brian said to Laras. The girl smiled then nodded. Then get in the car, followed by Ben.
Brian closed the car door and walked round to his steering chair.
"You want me to take you straight to Sherwood?" ask Brian who has been sitting behind the wheel.
"Yes, Brian, thank you" Ben replied.
Mobilpun. The clock is seven o'clock at night, but the sun is still bright. Make Laras free to enjoy the spring scenery all the way from the airport to downtown Portland.
"You still don't want to talk to me?" ben asked who forced the girl to look at him at a glance. Barrels flicked his shoulders. He turned his face towards the car window.

WEST LYNN, SHERWOOD, OREGON.
Laras looked in amazement at the beauty presented before his eyes. A large house with a large yard with green grass that stretches along it. And what attracted him the most was, the big house was standing next to a blue watery lake surrounded by shady trees.
"This is your family's house?" tanya Laras was unable to hold back her curiosity, until the girl forgot that she was in a cold war with her lover.
"No, this is Rose's house" Ben replied. Smile expands. Ah, this girl has softened.
Ben tried to hold Laras' hand and was about to invite him in, but his sense of regret re-emerged and made him realize to immediately keep his distance from the handsome but annoying man.
"I can walk alone!" ketus.
"All right, Miss." Ben raised both his hands in surrender.
The two entered the house painted with light chocolate. The barrel again amazed with the interior of the house that looks elegant. On the wall of the living room is a painting of a young blonde woman in a pin-up style that looks so beautiful. From the line of his face Laras can guess that the woman in the painting was Madame Rose when young.
"Let me show you our room," said Ben disperse the daydream Laras. The girl squinted her forehead.
"Our room? You're kidding, I need my own room" Baras said with his cold face.
"Please, baby .. until when are you gonna be mad at me?" ben asked with a face.
"I don't know . until I'm satisfied, maybe."
Ben took a deep breath many times. She pulled her long hair behind her head.
"I've come all the way to take you here on vacation, we should have enjoyed our moments together like this."
"You should have thought of that before doing stupid things with that girl, you should have been able to control yourself, should have .. you should have avoided that girl . aaaarghh .. you're such a bitch, you know?" Laras breathed his relief. The anger he had been holding since he was on the plane finally exploded as well.
"I know, I know .. I'm sorry, Barrel .. please, forgive me, baby." Ben clasped Laras' hand and kissed her. Laras turned his face.
"Give me a room of my own."
"Back, please."
"Give me a room by myself, or I'll go home to New York right now" Laras threatened with a serious face.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you my own room, come with me." Ben stepped up the stairs, Laras followed him from behind.
Ben opened the door to a room that was quite spacious with a dominant cream color. The window of the room faces the lake.
"This is your room .. emm .. I'll be in the next room, if you need anything." Ben approached Laras, about to grab him but the girl immediately dodged.
"I'm tired, Ben," said Laras slowly.
"Okay, just call me if you need me." Ben looked at his girlfriend. The barrel just nodded.

Ben threw his body into the bed and sighed many times. He took out the phone he put on the nightstand and fiddled with it for a while.
"Mom ...." Ben put the phone to his ear.
"Hey, Benji .. I'm glad you called me" said Monica across the street.
"I'm in Portland."
"Ow wow .. really? Where are you now?"
"I'm at Rose's house, and I need your help ...."
