Possessive Companions

Chapter 39

Asya blinked her eyes as she felt a small pat on her cheek. He stretched his body after completely opening his eyes well. Sleeping in the car is not bad. But, he still felt pain in his back and nape.

"Have we arrived?" Ask.

"Not yet."

"How long am I sleeping?"

"Almost 3 hours."

"Akkh... Long enough, too." Say Asya, while rubbing her nape.

"Is your neck hurting?"

"Yes, a little."

"Then, we'll rest here. I'll rent a hotel or inn near here so you're more comfortable sleeping."

"Huh? No need! We'll just take a break to eat."

"Don't argue, Asya."

Asya grabbed both of Darren's hands. "Darree... No need to jump, huh? We take a break from eating, continue our journey. Rest when you get to area B." He begged while whining. It made Darren feel frustrated and unable to resist.

"alright. Come on, get off."

Asya smiled sweetly. "Thank you, Darren."

"Hmmm..." Dehemnya, a little nervous looking at Asya's smile.

***

After finishing their meal and taking a short rest, Darren and Asya immediately returned to the car. This time, Asya did not play cell phone anymore. He stared at the street as Darren did.

"Darren,"

"Hmm?"

"I want to ask you your opinion on something."

"Ask me."

"I'm sure you also saw how Darrel treated Aurel, and how Aurel looked at Darrel. What do you think of bringing them together? We're putting together a plan for them to express their feelings to each other?"

"No need." Darren responded quickly.

"No need? Why?"

Darrel can't be with Aurel when clarity about the girl has yet to be found. If that happened, they would grow wounds on each other. Inner Darren.

"Darren, let's answer! Why?"

"Nothing. Just let it all flow as God intended."

"But..."

"Rather than talking about them, it's better to talk about us."

Asya silent. He didn't understand what Darren meant. While Darren, he also fell silent. Long enough silent, Darren returned to his voice. He spoke without looking at Asya.

"I don't understand how I used to feel. But, I always don't like it when you're close to other men, even Darrel and Jiyo."

"After Darrel and Jiyo continued to show the truth about how I felt about you, I began to realize. Everything I've done so far isn't just because you're my best friend. A man's feelings for a woman. I like you Asya. I love you." Darren.

But Asya remained silent. Darren turned to look at Asya's reaction to what he said. However, Darren had to swallow his hope. Beside him, Asya was already back to sleep, even very sound.

Darren took his breath. Her cold face softened. Next to his hand was stretched gently rubbed Asya's hair.

"I've been trying to talk long. But you fell asleep." Darren murmured, still so soft.

Maybe this is not the right time. The connection in the heart.

***

Darren and Asya arrived at the inn. Asya had been awake since an hour ago. The area here is still pretty beautiful. There are not many vehicles and some are still using bicycles. Darren came down and opened the door for Asya.

"Come on!"

Asya got down and immediately entered the inn with Darren. Letting their luggage be taken care of by the innkeeper. Darren and Asya took the keys to their respective rooms. Darren's room is next to Asya's.

"Let me take it." Darren said to the man who brought his stuff and Asya.

Not much to say, the man immediately handed it to Darren. He did not dare to offend such a cold-looking person.

"Come, comein!" Darren's orders.

Asya opened the door and then entered. The room is not as spacious as Asya's room in the house. But, it feels pretty comfortable.

"Here, let me put it there." Asya grabbed her suitcase from Darren's hand. After putting down her suitcase, Asya turned to sit on the side of the bed.

"What time are we going to the location?"

"Hour 3."

Asya immediately stared at the clock hanging on the wall. It's almost 1 o'clock. That means staying two more hours, they'll be heading to the location.

"Can't we go tomorrow?"

"Are you still sleepy?"

Asya shook her head quickly. "Not sleepy. I've had enough sleep. But, you're not. You drive for long journeys. You need to rest."

"All right."

"Yes,"

"Goodoo. Now go rest in your room. I'll wake you up if you fall asleep." Asya.

"Hm... I'm out."

Darren immediately headed for his room which was next to Asya.

***

Afternoon in area B is so relaxing. Asya stood at the window of her room while staring into the street. Seen some teenagers down the street while cycling.

Asya smiled. He also wants to ride like those kids. Soon she ran out of the room and knocked on Darren's room.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

"Darreen!"

Geck... Geck... Geck...

"Darr..." Asya's call was cut off when the door opened. Asya's face turned red when she saw Darren who was only wearing a towel wrapped around her waist and her hair was still wet.

"What's wrong?"

"eeee... Th-that's, put your clothes on first. I'll go back to the room." Asya rushed quickly to her room, leaving Darren just like that.

Asya stood leaning back while taking her breath. He felt his heart beating very fast.

"Darren, I might die from my uncontrollable heartbeats like this." Mumbled.

Asya again took her breath while closing her eyes. However, the knock on the door made him jump in shock and straighten his body.

"Asya," the baritone voice that sounded increasingly accelerated the heartbeat of Asya.

"Ashya?" Darren called back. Asya took a deep breath, then answered him.

"Yes, wait a minute."

Slowly, Asya grabbed the doorknob and opened it. Darren stood up wearing a white T-shirt and black training pants. Asya gulped her saliva, then looked at herself. He was also wearing a white T-shirt and training pants, only his pants were gray.

Was Darren intentional, or was it a coincidence?

"I was intentional." His words made Asya look at him.

Does he know what I'm thinking?

"Your gaze. I understand from there."

Again Asya was made dumbfounded. Does Darren have a special ability to read his mind?

"What do you want to say?"

"Huh? Tha-that... I'm gonna take you around on a bike."

"Bicycle?" Darren's eyebrows are looking at each other. Why did Asya suddenly want to ride a bike?

"So, I was standing by the window staring at the street. There are some teenagers cycling. They seem to enjoy it a lot. Looks fun. So, I think I can try it. And I'll take you."

"Come on!"

"Huh?"

"Bicycle."

"D-yes." Asya pulled the door and closed it. Darren kept looking at him. His hand then grabbed Asya's hand and grasped it.

"Darren,"

"Come on!" Darren didn't care about Asya's stare of protest. He calmly led Asya out.

"Good afternoon, sir, miss." Greet one of the workers at the inn.

"Good, afternoon." Reply Asya. While Darren, he just nodded.

"Where can we get a bike?"

"Master wants to bike?"

Darren glanced at Asya. The girl excitedly answered the worker's question.

"Come, I'm taking you! The bike rental isn't far from here."

Darren and Asya immediately followed the worker. The hand link of both is not lost. In fact, Asya returned Darren's grasp.

They stopped at the place in question. The man who was the owner of the bicycle rental was approaching. Seeing the aura emanating from Darren, made him nervous. Moreover, when Darren looked at him sharply while he was accidentally staring at Asya for a little while. Really made it shake.

"How much?" Darren asked without a stale ado.

"For the best bike, a hundred thousand."

Darren instantly took out his wallet and gave out several sheets of hundreds of thousands.

"T-mister, this..."

"Hold it." Cut Darren. "Come, pick the one you like." He continued while looking at Asya.

The owner of the bicycle rental and the workers at the inn were stunned. Darren's gaze turned gentle as he looked at Asya.

"Emmm... I want this one. And thou... You're that." Show Asya on a red bike for her, and black for Darren.

"Alright, Come!" Darren and Asya immediately took the bike out, then drove it.
