James released his hand grip on Alice's shoulder and Alice would fall back

"No, what I said, you've got your snikers there," James said, looking annoyed.

"Not funny James, my gini dress, the lifetime of the snikers?" sahut Al was slow and looked confused.

"It's not funny anymore, if all the way you ask me to hold, already ah we are waiting for Mei and Edwin," James looked at Al with an annoyed look.

Finally Al according, he wears his snikers. And go to the elevator down to the second floor.

When he was about to enter the elevator, Al looked doubtful while James had entered, until James pulled Al's hand, and the elevator door closed, both of them almost collided inside, fortunately there were only two of them.

James released his hand at Alice. The two of them remained silent until they descended on the second floor and came out together.

James walked a little quickly leaving Al behind him. 

"James wait," Al called James. James stopped and looked.

"Come fast, it's 8 o'clock past, I'm not used to ngaret." 

"You should have a habit of walking fast, you're like a boy" James said, stepping over to Alice's side. 

"This address is what makes my steps not free," said Alice quickened her steps.

James shook his head, grabbed Alice's hand and pulled her to walk rather quickly, while Alice's little run offset James' wide strides.

Alice smiled faintly seeing her hand in James's grasp. I wanted this to be much longer, so Alice's mind wandered to see her hand in James's grasp.

From far away, in front of the apartment door, Edwin and Meisya looked up at James dragging Alice around, but Edwin let out a laugh at the annoyed faces of James and Alice who were smiling themselves. Meisya closed her mouth, holding back laughter. Really strange couple.

"Aliiice you are so beautiful," Mei's face looked at Alice's face in amazement. 

"What's James?" meisya asked as she looked at James who was closing his lips and looked at Mei with a vexed look.

"Come on, where do we eat, huh?" ask Edwin and they go hand in hand. 

"In the cafe restaurant" replied James.

"This hour has no place there James," said Alice. 

"I've booked, '" James replied and stepped up to line Edwin's steps.

***

After James parked the car, the four of them got in. As soon as Edwin sat facing Mei, inevitably, James sat in front of Alice.

"What message is this James?" ask Edwin. 

"I've ordered, this is a special gift from me for the newlyweds" James replied smiling at Edwin and Mei.

Edwin and Mei's hands clasped each other, and gazed in a friendly manner. 

"May the happiness we experience, will be transmitted to you," said Edwin Lirih while looking at Meisya.

James and Alice looked at each other with confused faces, Alice lowered her head and toyed with the crossed bag straps on her chest

"Alice, put your bag on the table, let's not disturb it when you eat," said Mei, Alice put her bag on the table and smiled in May.

Soon the appetizers arrived. 

"That's so funny James, what the hell?" ask Mei.

"Eat, it's the salmon that's between Mei's loaves" James replied.

Edwin took one and fed it to Mei's mouth. Edwin looked at Mei's face and cleaned Mei's lips from the breadcrumbs with his finger.

James and Alice looked at their behavior. Al looked at the other side of the restaurant.

"Eat," James thrust the appetizer at Alice, Alice took one and ate it slowly, they returned to look at each other and immediately turned her gaze to the other side. James exhaled his breath that felt tight.

Soon came the main menu, in the form of duck pepperoni sauce. Mei eats voraciously until the sauce is splattered. Edwin laughed and cleared Mei's lips.

"He must be Ed, if you like to eat muddle, and belepotan," said James and turned to Alice who was not much different from Meisya.

"You're Al too, the fist, the knife" James gave a tissue and Al cleaned his lips.

"It's not Al, next to him, open ah to the left of your lips" said James again and Al became confused. Finally James cleaned Al's lips with his finger and James cleaned his finger with a tissue.

Edwin and Mei held back laughter at the behavior of these two strange people, James who did everything calmly and without feeling, while Al's face flushed red after James cleaned the pepperoni sauce on his lips.

When sipping a drink James had looked at Al's face, at that time he only realized that his actions had made Al blushing. James let out a sigh looking at Edwin and Mei who were holding back a laugh, James became a bit irritated because the two of them seemed to laugh at him. James and Alice looked at each other with confused faces.

Dessert came and at least helped James from the torment of Edwin and Meisya's laughter.

"Duh full dahJames but I still want to," said Mei staring at the food that published her appetite again.

"Eat, small how big, apple pie is May," James took one and gave it to Al.

"Don't be troubled again, you will be embarrassed again, you will be silent," said James staring at Al. Al just shut up and smiled looking at James's face which had always looked irritated.

After eating they do not go home directly but down the dim-lit garden around the restaurant.

There were several pairs of chairs, and Mei was sitting with Edwin clutching his shoulder, Mei leaning her head against Edwin's shoulder. James and Al were forced to sit down, and both looked awkward. James pulled out a cell phone and hung out on his phone. Al just sat down, grabbed his legs and crossed them, then rubbed his own shoulders.

James turned his head, looking at Al's hair which, though tied, remained blown by the wind

"You cold?" James opens his jacket and gives his jacket to Al. Al receives and wears it. James was straddling and he felt a piercing chill, James was surprised Edwin and Mei was not cold, was it because they were hugging? I don't know.

"You're thin, you'll be cold too, just go home James," Al unknowingly held James's arm, James turned his head and saw Al holding his arm. Al quickly let go and looked at James face in fear.

"Well, I'm starting to feel cold" James said. Al is about to take off his jacket but is arrested by James. 

"Wear it, we'll go home" James said. Alice smiled and James did not like it.

"Edwiiin, Meeei, go home yuk, Alice is cold, uh I am too," James asked the two of them. Both of them looked over and held back the laughter.

They walked to James' car. "Al, it's easy not to be cold" said Mei. Alice looked at Mei. 

"To hug James, to be warm" the laughter of May and Edwin broke, Al blushed, James opened the car door glaring in May.

The car was traveling at a moderate speed, Edwin and Mei were increasingly making fun of the two, James just did not respond, while Alice just smiled.

***

Edwin and Mei waved at James and Al, then walked into their apartment.

James escorted Al to his doorstep. Al returned James' jacket and smiled. 

"Thank you James, his jacket, his dinner" James simply nodded. And as the jacket was about to be taken from Al's hands, Al held James's hands, looked at him once more and James pulled his hands and jacket slowly.

"Thank you, too, you're trying to be normal" James looked at Al and stepped away from Al, who was always staring at James' back until he disappeared from his sight.

***

Al leaned his head against the door, closed his eyes and held his hand, as if James's hand was still his.

***

James was trying to close his eyes when he arrived at his apartment.

Strange woman, James thought. Before long he heard the notification coming into his phone. He opened his phone, and found a short message from Al

James, it may be that to you what we experienced just now is a matter of course, passing by, but to me it is the beginning to get to know you further, will not come to you again, I will just wait for you... Have good night....

And James really can't sleep...
