I Am Yours, Mr Chevalier!
Part 79's
Laras looked at Ben's back from near the kitchen door while leaning against the wall and crossing his arms in front of his chest. Ben was busy making breakfast like him, not realizing the presence of Laras until when Ben turned to put the contents of the frying pan he was holding onto the plate on the dining table.
"Owh, hey .. good morning, babe .. have you been there for a long time?" asked Ben with a big smile. "You're watching me cook on purpose?"
Barrels just grimacing. Then walking towards Ben, the two kissed each other with fleeting lips.
"Hmm .. seems good," said Laras as he looked at the contents of the plate on the table. Beef soup mixed with potatoes, carrots and mushrooms.
"The name is Beef Bourguignon, Burgundy-style soup." said Ben as he thrust a spoon at Laras. "Try."
Laras nodded. Then scoop out the food that looks appetizing and feed yourself. His eyes were round, his tongue was completely spoiled by its delicious taste.
"This is delicious" said Laras.
"Thank you," said Ben proudly. The barrel is back grimacing. Ah, this bitch is perfect.
The barrel continues to eat until the plate is empty.
"You want to take another walk to the lake with me?" ask Ben. Baras smiled and nodded.
"I'll take my coat first." Barrel got up from his seat and stepped out of the kitchen room.
"I'll be waiting for you outside!" exclaim Ben.
"Okay," said Laras from afar.
Ben grabbed his thick jacket and stepped outside the house. While waiting for Laras appeared on the horizon. With deep breaths enjoy the fresh cold air of Oregon spring.
Before long Baras appeared from the door of the house complete with a thick coat. Her long black hair was simply stroked, her face looking even more beautiful. Ben stared in awe at Laras' face for a moment, making the girl squint her forehead.
"Ben?" ask Laras while shaking his palm left and right.
"Ah, yes .. sorry, let's go," he said nervously. Then holding Laras' hand and the two walked slowly to the backyard.

"Well, do you want me to if I offer you to move into my apartment?" ask Ben. The two were sitting on a long bench by the lake.
"Why?" asked Laras, looking at Ben with an astonished look.
"Wouldn't it be more fun to live together?"
Baras seemed to think for a moment.
"Don't you want our relationship to rise to a more serious level?" tanya Ben made Laras' chest swish.
"You-you mean?"
Ben smiles. The head of Laras and he buried it in his chest. Laras returned the embrace of his lover was tight.
"I love you so much, Laras," said Ben.
"I love you too ...."
The cold air that morning was so piercing, the two of them further tightened their embrace. Occasionally stroking each other and kissing the lips.
"Hm .. Laras, you know, we've known each other for a few months, but we haven't told each other about our families, isn't that weird," Ben said.
"Hmm .. What do you want to know about my family?" ask Laras.
"Everything."
Barrel looked at the clear-looking sky. Then breathe and smile.
"I am the eldest of two brothers, my younger brother Hara, Hara Janardana Soetodjo, is 15 years old. My mother is a single parent, my father died when I was in High School, my mother's name is Dewi, she is a lecturer at one of the universities in Yogjakarta. And as you know, I got an S2 scholarship to Columbia." Laras. "I was born in Yogyakarta, July 15, 1995, I am 25 years old" Laras continued, chuckling.
Ben watched all of Laras's words carefully.
"You alone?" ask Laras. "Ah, of course I can find information about you on wikipedia?" seloroh Laras's. Ben laughed coldly hearing that.
"My family's story is a little complicated .. hmm ...." Ben rested his back on the back of the bench. Then put both of his palms into his jacket pocket. "I'm an only child, my father's name is Richard, and my mother, of course you already know him .. mmm. .. I stopped talking to my father since I was 18."
Laras raises his eyebrows. Ben's face changed.
"I decided to get out of my parents' house at that time and struggle to live alone in Manhattan. I know I can ask Rose for help, but I think it would be more challenging if I did it all myself."
"Why did you get out of your parents' house, Ben?"
"My father was a property magnate, it seems he was eager for me to follow in his footsteps and continue his business, but I fell in love with music." Ben's smile expands.
"Now, Richard is a little conservative and conservative, and once he doesn't like something, it's hard to change his outlook. I don't know why my mom's been able to hang on to him for years" Ben said.
Baras leaned his head on Ben's shoulder.
"You're great" praised Laras.
"Why?"
"You got all this by your own struggle, surely you are a reliable man."
"You can count on me, Laras .. I'll make you the happiest woman on earth."
Ben faced towards Laras, then clasped his hand tightly.
"Move to my place?" ben Pinta.
"Either Ben, it seems like your place is too fancy for me, I'm not used to it."
"Then I'll buy you a more minimalist place, so long as you stay with me."
Laras breathed deeply. "I think it's too soon, give me time to think about it."
Ben flicked away the boy's hair that fell on Laras' forehead, then stroked the girl's hair gently.
"Okay" he said later.
***
THE PORTLAND FARMER MARKET.
"Isn't this romantic?" ben asked as he glanced at Laras who was walking beside him.
"What?"
"Take you shopping at the farmers market."
"I like it." Laras put on a sweet smile. Ben is different, he is rich, but so down to earth. He's a celebrity, but look at his mediocre appearance, even impressed selenge'an. But it all made Laras even more admire him. This Ben, the ideal figure to be a husband. Huh huh? Husband?
Baras gasped when suddenly Ben took his hand to the seller of vegetables and fresh fruits.
"O my God, Benjamin!"
Screeches a woman makes both of them stop talking to the seller of vegetables and fruit.
Three young women run towards Ben and frenziedly embrace him in turn, leaving Ben and Laras' handrails loose. The barrel retreated backwards and gave the three women space to interact with Ben.
" Hey, Miss .. Can you get us a picture of Ben?" asked one of the young women while thrusting his phone at Laras.
"Sure," Laras replied as she received the phone. Ben was about to prevent it but Laras signaled that he did not mind.
Market visitors who eventually learned of the presence of a Benjamin Chevalier certainly did not miss the opportunity to take a photo with The Rebellion's guitarist.
After taking a photo of Ben and his fans, Laras again retreated and noticed Ben who kindly returned to serve his fans were taking pictures and chatting. Occasionally, Ben turned to him and gestured for Laras to wait for a while, with a look of eyes that were conditional on an apology.
The impromptu fan meeting lasted for over fifteen minutes. Until finally Ben managed to free himself and immediately took Laras walk quickly to Ben's car parked on the side of the road.
"Damn it, I guess we can shop there quietly," said Ben as he drove his car away from the place. "I'm sorry, baby ...."
"It's okay," said Laras with a faint smile.
"Please don't be angry, baby."
"Why should I be angry?" kekeh Laras's.
Ben smiled as he stroked the head of the soft barrel.
"I love you" he said. "Only you."
Laras raised both his eyebrows in wonder. "What is this about you?"
"Nothing, I just wanna say "I love you" everyday."
Barrel laughed amusedly. Then shook slowly. Ben likes to be overrated.
