I Am Yours, Mr Chevalier!
Part 85's
CONEY ISLAND BEACH, BROOKLYN, NEW YORK CITY (SATURDAY, JULY 4, 2020, UNITED STATES INDEPENDENCE DAY).
Laras tried to contact Ben all day but there was no response at all. Though upset, the girl tries to think positively, that Ben may be very busy. A few days ago, her boyfriend said that The Rebellion is preparing to tour their album in Europe this week.
Today is the day of New York City. The 244th American independence day and almost all of its residents enjoy their holidays.
Finally, Laras agreed to Catherine's invitation to take a vacation to the beach. Coney Island is located in Brooklyn and approximately thirty minutes from Manhattan using Catherine's car.
This is where Laras enjoys his day with his best friend, relaxing on a beach chair while drinking a few glasses of fresh cocktails. Occasionally look at some lovers who are making out with their romantic.
"Hmmm . what a beautiful day," Catherine muttered as she closed her eyes, enjoying sunbathing, with her two-piece bikini wrapped around her body.
"Yeah," said Laras, who actually does not like sunbathing. He is from a tropical country. Sunlight was not something fancy to him.
Laras sipped his cocktail glass and sighed deeply. His mind could not escape Ben. It had been three days that Laras had not met him. Only talk on the phone occasionally. And today the phone's off, where's that bitch?
"Would you like to see a fireworks show tonight on the East River?" asked Catherine, still with eyes closed.
"Hmmm .. I don't think so."
"Why?" asked Catherine as she raised her chin.
"Let's go, I'll sleep as fast as I can tonight."
Catherine turned her shoulders, then slumped her head back over the beach chair. Laras checks his phone, but there are no messages or calls from Ben. Upset, Laras turned off his phone.

At nine o'clock Laras came out of his apartment to buy snacks at a nearby supermarket. His steps gontai walk along the sidewalks between the buildings of Tudor City. From far away came the sound of fireworks that roared.
Entering the supermarket Laras immediately buy all kinds of snacks that he will eat tonight to accompany him to watch a movie or read a book. After paying to the cashier Laras immediately got out of the supermarket and stepped back towards his apartment. Approaching his apartment building, Laras stopped his steps when he saw a long-haired man standing in his way.
"You're such a bitch!" meaning while approaching and hit Ben's chest slowly. Spilling the frustration he felt . "I can't call you all day."
"I'm sorry, baby," Ben hugged Laras tightly. "Today I didn't have time to hold a cell phone, my schedule was really tight, I took the time to meet you tonight to say goodbye, tomorrow I leave," Ben said as he kissed the top of Laras' head with anxiety. The barrel just nodded. Then holding Ben's hand into his apartment.
"You're gonna eat all this?" ask Ben while peeking at the contents of the tote bag Laras which contains various kinds of snacks.
Barrel grimacing. "I intend to watch a movie or read a book all night, if you don't show up tonight."
Ben chuckles. "I'm sorry, Barrel."
Ben clasped Laras' body, kissing her soft lips. "I love you" he said.
"I know," said Laras, releasing Ben's embrace and then throwing his body on the couch.
"You're leaving tomorrow morning" murmured Laras, his face looking gloomy.
Ben sat next to Laras, tilting his head to look at Laras' half-subdued face.
"Hey, my dear .. Would you like to see the fireworks in the East River?" tawp Ben's. Laras. The girl bursts into Ben's arms, which are embraced welcoming him with open arms.
"I miss you already," Baras sulked, basing his head on Ben's chest. "Don't be lured to European women huh."
Ben chuckles. Cupping Laras' face with both palms, then swiping his nose towards Laras' tiny nose.
"No woman can mess up my world except you" Ben said, making Laras blush in shame. Then he buried his face back into his chest.

"By the way, I gota go." Ben stroked the cheek Gently. The girl was still curled up in her blanket. Slowly opened his eyes and found Ben sitting on the side of his bed.
"This morning?" asked Laras with a hoarse voice waking up.
"I'll have to pick up my stuff first at the Big Apple."
Baras flicked his blanket, then sat down next to Ben. He rested his head on his girlfriend's shoulder.
"So we'll meet for another month" said Laras pouting.
"Or do you want to come?" tawp Ben's. Baras clicked, hitting Ben's shoulder slowly.
"And follow you everywhere? No, thank you." Laras chuckles. "I'll wait for you here."
Ben kisses lips Soft barrel. Then hugged the girl tightly. After a while, the two of them moved from the side of the bed. Baras leads Ben to the door.
Then hugged Ben back, long enough, until finally Ben say goodbye to immediately go home to the Big Apple.
The barrel closes the door of his apartment after Ben's back disappears behind the elevator door. The girl leaned her body behind the door. Taking a deep breath while raising his face.
Ah, Manhattan's gonna feel lonely again without you, Ben.
