LOVE Plus Minus

So Upset

After polishing the thin makeup I immediately met Dave in the living room. I purposely polished my face a little, so that this man would not carelessly tease me anymore.

The living room was so tense, only filled by an athletic man with white skin and his bule face. The man was Dave who was busy reading health articles on his mobile phone.

"Look away." My sudden words did not surprise the man.

Dave lifted his head and looked at me who was now standing in the doorway. With a casual gesture, the handsome bule-faced man immediately stood up and stepped up following me.

"Steve, we're on our way. Don't be late." I'm short, solid, clear on his cell phone.

Fun Day Cafe, looks so empty, lots of uninhabited customer tables. The impossible scene happened at lunchtime. With a lazy gesture I glanced at the circular watch in my hand.

"Him right." I sis slowly when I found out it was only 11:30.

"Cynthia..." The flap-haired man sitting at one of the tables in the corner of the room waved as he called out to me.

"No, that's it." I said. Spontaneously my left hand pulled Dave's hand that had been trailing behind my back.

"Based on small legs, your steps are very short." Ledek Dave is now following my lead.

"Whisper loe." I replied irritatedly while squeezing his wrist, hoping that he would feel a little pain.

"Hey Steve.." I say hello to the man who has now risen from his seat, of course this man is trying to show a polite attitude to new people.

New guy? yeah, new guy. Isn't Dave a new guy to Steve?

"Hello Mr's. My name is Steve. Nice to meet you." The man even confidently introduced himself to the English-flavored while extending his hand to the man next to me.

"Hello Steve's. Nice to meet you too." Dave replied to Steve's hand, "i'm Dave" he replied, closing the sentence casually.

"Don't bother." I said anxiously at Steve's surprised expression when I heard Dave say I said.

"Can we sit down?" ask Dave politely.

"that's. eng... anu.. uh. please-please." replied Steve looks very admiring Dave.

And if you're with me now, you'll be embarrassed by Steve's behavior looking at Dave with tasteful eyes. I want to dirty his clean white and slippery shirt by spilling his coffee orders that just came.

"Steve. b aja. b aja." I tried to remind her not to put on the same expression.

"Sorry Dave, I'm speechless when I hear you speak Indonesian." Steve honestly.

"ah, I'm learning. My mother is Indonesian." replied Dave.

"What?" now I take turns looking at Dave with a face of disbelief.

"Loe why?" ask Steve to relax.

"Gue just found out."

"Oh. Cyn is normal. What's the difference with a lot of things about me that you might not know?" Steve shrugged his shoulders relaxed.

I just listened to Steve's words. He's right, Dave's not someone close to me, it's natural there's a lot of things about him that I don't know.

"What message do you want?" ask Dave then.

"Americano." the answer was brief.

"Cake or another snack?" ask again.

"snacks.. Oh Cyntia, are you sure Dave knows what a snack is? use another term dong. Snacks for example." cuss Steve.

"Steve today you're too noisy." I protested.

Of course I protest, this athletic and handsome man in front of me is usually very cool.Different from the moment, he is very noisy.

As soon as Steve's face reddened, it seemed like he was embarrassed now.

"You're such a bitch." I scold Dave and the guy doesn't even respond to me at all.

Not without reason I accused him of being a bitch. If he's not annoying, he can refrain from saying the phrase "i know snacks and snacks are the same", a successful sentence makes Steve's face red with embarrassment. Couldn't this guy have a little more appreciation for Steve's efforts to make him comfortable? Steve just assumed he wasn't very fluent in Indonesian. Steve only cares about her, and she's completely insensitive.

"Well, what do you want to eat?" ketus.

"Your tone is Cyntia and I don't like the use of the word loe. Ask correctly." he said coldly.

"It's up to you." I replied annoyedly as I passed from there to the butler's desk and ordered my order.

When I stepped back to the table earlier, complete with a tray filled with my orders, from a distance I could see the gesture of the two men were cool talking. They look very familiar.

"Unbelievably, that shitty guy could have lured Steve." I grumbled at the sight.

"this is your order's americano." I said as I placed Dave's order glass right in front of him.

After sitting on the left side of the man, I started to get cool with the fruit ice I ordered earlier.

"Es fruit?" ask Dave with an expression I can't describe.

"He is sensitive to caffeine, so it is very rare to consume coffee and tea" explained Steve relaxed.

"What about chocolate?" ask Dave then.

"Yes, Cyn Loe doesn't eat chocolate, either? what a matter of life loe." said Steve

"Gue just not as strong as caffeine from coffee and tea products. If chocolate I can eat really, but in small portions." I said casually.

"That's the same for Cyn." said Steve again.

"So how's your plan?" ask Dave to switch the conversation.

"Gue will be studying in the same hospital where Noni is being treated. I hope that the chances and intensity of meeting us are higher" said Steve.

"Do you like Noni?" ask Dave without saying anything.

"oh man, you only knew Steve a few minutes ago, you dare to ask me that." I said in my heart.

"What do you think?" ask Steve to relax. Too relaxed, to make me wonder how they can be so open about this privacy thing while they have just been acquainted.

"I support." replied Dave casually.

"Okay bro.thank you, I appreciate your support."

"Haha." Dave and Steve laughed at the same time as they raised their fists in the air, with the compacts of their fists meeting slowly. It's like ABG style.

The rest of today's meeting was Steve and Dave chatting up and down, like two old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. While I yawned many times because it was ignored by them. It's not that I don't want to talk to them. It's just that whatever they discussed, always involved in business and economic affairs. And unfortunately the downfall of my family business a few years ago was quite discouraging me from talking about that one topic.

"See you next time bro, I think someday we can work together" said Steve casually.

"Sure bro. May we also soon be a family."

"Ah. I understand what you mean. Hope my efforts are good." replied Dave.

We had arrived at the parking lot but the two were still cool chatting, suddenly I saw them like a couple who were in love location alone.

"We're not going home? go in again yok." I quipped later.

"Daddy..." Dave stepped straight into his car.

"Gue came home and you were Steve." I said later.

"Cyntia, hurry." call Dave right before Steve responds to my words.

"Here you go, come with Dave. Besides, as long as I'm not here, Dave's gonna be loe everywhere."

"Ha???? can you repeat?" I couldn't believe my hearing just now.

"Udah buruan gih's. Dave is waiting for you."

I decided to drive a half-run step after Dave who had gotten into his car. I who was tired of this meeting ended up annoyed with the fact that I would meet Dave more often. But Dave's company was much better, after all, than my own. Scared that George might show up and bother me again. Yes I am very upset, if I have more power and power, I can protect myself.
