Possessive Companions

Chapter 40

Darren and Asya paddle their bikes down the street. The cool afternoon air made Asya close her eyes, feeling the wind that was hitting her face.

"Darrenes. I think I like the environment here. What if we stay for three or four days?"

"No."

Asya took her breath. Even though he knew that Darren would definitely refuse, he still felt annoyed.

"I'm just kidding." Saying, a little unwilling.

Darren caught that unwilling expression from Asya. "Next time, we'll be here again. I'll make sure we stay a week."

"really?" Asya smiled happily.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Thank you, Darren." The man smiled back at her.

After quite a distance they walked down the road, the two returned to the inn. Before that, they returned the bike at the bike rental place. Then back to the room.

"After a long time, I just returned to feel down the road with a bicycle. And I feel, I'm very happy. But, my legs are also sore."

"You sore?"

"Yes. Little."

Asya's reply made Darren carry her straight away. Asya's face turned red because of Darren's treatment. Moreover, they were seen by the attendants of the inn.

"Darrenes. What are you doing?"

"Your feet are sore."

"No already. Hurry up, put me down!"

"Shut up, Asya." Flat reply.

Asya no longer said. He just wanted to get to his room quickly. It's embarrassing to be a spectacle like this.

"Open the door!" Darren's orders as they arrive in front of Asya's room.

"Huh? Put me down, Darren!"

"Asians!"

"Down or don't talk to me anymore!" Threatened him.

Darren gently lowered Asya. The girl was a little surprised. Usually Darren would ignore it while saying 'Be quiet, Asya!'. But that man is not doing it now. He even lowered Asya carefully.

It turns out Darren could be threatened as well. Admire Asya in heart.

"Come in. If your leg still hurts, just call me. I'll massage him."

"Huh? No need. I'll do it myself."

Darren just nodded. After Asya entered his room, Darren also returned to his room.

Darrel got out of his car and walked into the cafe. The servants know Darrel well enough. They let Darrel walk straight into Aurel's room. That's the habit Darrel visits every time. Not only at the cafe, Darrel also took time to meet Aurel every time he returned to work and drove Aurel back to the apartment.

"Aurel," Call Darrel after tapping a few times.

"Yes, be patient." The answer from within sounded. Before long, the door opened and saw Aurel who looked beautiful with his dress. Darrel even looked at the girl.

"Darrel?" Aurel pierced Darrel's arm with his finger, making the man sober and misbehaved in front of Aurel.

"Ekhm... Eee... That's... Can I come in?"

Not answering, Aurel even approached Darrel. "Are you sick?" Aurel touched Darrel's forehead. "You're not hot. But, why is your face flushed?"

"It... Because the weather is so hot. Yeah, it's hot." Darrel, try to convince.

"You're right. Come on, you go in first. I'll have someone bring you some food and drinks."

Darrel nodded slowly then walked in. After calling the waiter to bring food to Darrel, Aurel rejoins Darrel.

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet."

"Goodoo. We can eat together."

"I don't want to eat yet."

"Why?"

"I just finished eating the chicken porridge I bought earlier. So, my stomach is still full. But, I'll keep you eating."

Darrel smiled and rubbed Aurel's head. "Thank you."

"For what?"

"Have come with me to eat, and will come back here with me." Darrel.

"I also thank you for bringing me here. I can meet you and apologize. I can feel the warmth of your family. And since you brought me here, I can protect my best friend from Naomi."

"Yes." Yeah."

I can't see you getting hurt, Aurel. Ilove you. I was clearly aware that I love you even though I had to cover everything up, and make our friendship the reason.

Moments later a cafe waitress came to bring food for Darrel. The man eagerly finished his meal. He occasionally thrusts a spoonful at Aurel. However, the girl shakes unwillingly.

"alright. I have to get back to the office. I'll take you home later." Darren said, after finishing his meal and taking a break.

"Darrel, your return hours are different. Don't keep forcing me to wait for me to come home. You also need rest. And, you should also have time with your family."

"Don't worry, Aurel. I can rest in your room while waiting for you. And as for family, I always make time for them."

"As far as you are." Aurel said, annoyed.

"You mad?"

"That's it. Quickly go to your office. The break is over."

"All right, I'll go first." Darrel approached and kissed Aurel's forehead. The man then walked out of the room relaxed. Leaving Aurel still sculpting get a kiss from Darrel.

Tests... One tear ran down her cheek. He touched his forehead, Darrel's kiss.

Why are you making me love you so much, when I'm sure we can't be together, Darrel? Why are you making an inappropriate woman like me fall in love with you more and more?

Darren and Asya just got off the project execution site. Due to the not-so-distant distance from the inn, Darren and Asya decided to take a leisurely walk to the inn.

"What's the location you think?" Ask Asya.

"Good."

"Yes, it is really suitable for the construction of our project. Hope everything goes well and useful for the people of this area." Asya Imbuh. Darren only nodded his head in reply to Asya.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment before finally sounding Asya's breath.

"Huufth..."

"Why?" Darren turned his head and stopped his steps. "Your feet hurt?"

Asya shakes. "No. I'm just wondering if we're back tomorrow."

"I said yesterday. We're..."

"Yes, I still remember it." Cut Asya, indifferent.

Darren fell silent. He doesn't like it when he's cut. Without saying much, Darren stepped up first, leaving Asya behind.

"What are you... Eh? Darren!" Asya was caught seeing Darren not beside her, and had walked first.

"Darren!" He shouted, but Darren kept walking. The man intentionally. He wanted to prank Asya.

"Darr..." Asya's call is interrupted when two young men who may be her age block her path.

"Beautiful girl. Why yell?" Ask the young man 1.

"You who? Let me go."

"Ck. Why chase that guy? He's been ignoring you." Speak youth 2.

"No. Darren! Darr... Umm..." The 2nd youth instantly smothered Asya's mouth.

Darren who did not hear and felt that Asya was following him turned around. His jaw instantly hardened looking at the scene in front of him. His hands clenched and his gaze became sharp. With his broad steps Darren approached.

Plaque... Darren patted the two men on the shoulder, until the two turned around.

Bugh... In one move, Darren floated both hands right in the stomachs of each young man, until they fell down.

"You..." Their voices faltered as they caught the searing gazes from Darren. By itself, both hands were trembling.

This male aura, was extremely frightening. Youth 1.

Does the boss want to kill us by sending us to him? He's very scary. Youth 2.

Darren instantly pulled Asya in his arms. The girl looked scared.

"Dar-Darren..."

"Calm down. They won't be rude to you."

Some of the people who saw the fight immediately approached. They arrested the two men who were still down in pain.

"The two of you. Always making a mess." Said one of the residents.

"Sorry for your inconvenience in our area. They are unemployed youth, they like to mess things up."

"Hold them. My people will pick them up." The resident nodded, confirming Darren's words.

After finishing his speech, Darren immediately brought Asya along. Before that, he called the innkeeper to pick him up and Asya.

"Darren, I want to go back." Saying, still scared.

"Yes. Tomorrow we're back."
