"I don't want to!". Anggi insisted.
"Are you going to sleep in a messy house?". Ask Reynald.
The two were arguing on the sidelines of a breakfast they were having at the bottom floor of Reynald's penthouse. The man proposed to Anggi to stay for about two to three days in his penthouse but Anggi refused.
"Importantly my door can still be locked, it's safe for me. All you renovate is the kitchen roof and install the canopy. It means my bedroom is still safe to sleep in". Anggi.
Reynald rubbed his face in annoyance. "God.. One more thing I just found out about you. It turns out you're stubborn too!". Reynald.
Anggi pinched his lips. "I'm just conveying my thoughts. Not wrong, right? I'm afraid I'll stay at your penthouse.." Anggi.
Reynald frowned confusedly.
"Fearful? Afraid of what? My penthouse is safer than yours. There is 24-hour security, a strict and sophisticated security system. No one can enter without an access card". Reynald.
"Not that..." Anggi lowered his head.
"Then what?". Reynald was confused.
"We're just two here. It's just me and you. I'm scared..." Anggi.
Reynald was silent for a moment and smiled amusedly. "Are you afraid of me?". Ask Reynald.
Anggi just kept silent not answering.
"You're afraid of me hmm?". Reynald asked again as he leaned his body closer towards Anggi.
"Tens... Ten..tu'll!". Anggi said as he shifted his body to the side.
"Why are you afraid of me?". Reynald's question is getting more seductive.
"You... Always kiss me..." Anggi.
Reynald laughed heartily at Anggi's utterance that was too blunt. He even shed tears in his laughter.
"I just kissed you. As a couple, that's normal, right?". Reynald asked chuckled.
Anggi nodded slowly. "Either.. I've never been in contact with any man. So I can't answer her". Anggi.
"Your kiss.... Hm.. Like. an electric shock to my body. So I'm not used to it". Anggi.
Hearing that Reynald then in an instant pulled Anggi into his arms. The man chuckled softly as he gently rubbed the girl's long, long hair.
"Either what possessed me that I could be comfortable with an innocent girl like you hehehe". Reynald chuckled.
Anggi returned Reynald's embrace. "Am I not your criteria?". Ask Anggi.
"Hm.. At least I know that my criteria for someone can change. That's all you need to know". Reynald said as he relaxed his embrace.
"Why do I feel you shut your life shut tight from me.." Anggi said slowly.
"What was the agreement when you became my mentor still valid today?".
Reynald squinted at his lover. "Which deal?". Ask Reynald.
"A covenant that says I must not ask anything about your life and all that I have heard about you, must not be spread anywhere".
"Is all this still happening?". Anggi asked courageously to look at Reynald.
The man held both of Anggi's shoulders tightly as his gaze fell right into Anggi's bead.
"Listen to me carefully....."
"You're my lover now. Of course I'll be open with you on a variety of matters. But there's a better thing you don't need to know..."
"It's not that I want to cover it up from you, it's just that it's not important for you to know.. You understand what I mean, right?".
"Then.. Hm.. How I said it to you huh.."Reynald muttered while looking at Anggi.
"Regarding our relationship, I want us to cover it up from the public. Only certain people can know. At the right time, I'll reveal it to the public".
"You're okay, right?".
Anggi silently stared intensely. His brain was trying to digest the whole explanation of his lover. Various bad assumptions appear trying to tempt her common sense.
"You're not a married man, are you?".
"I'm not your affair, am I?".
"I'm not a man's husband, am I?".
"Or... May I just snatch people's lovers?".
Question after question Anggi told Reynald. All of that was a bad conjecture that just appeared in his brain when he heard all the words of the man.
Reynald gawked at all the absurd questions he was asking.
"How can you think of me like that?'. Reynald asked with a look of disbelief.
Anggi lowered his head. "I'm sorry if I offended you..." Anggi's Chirps.
Reynald then leaned his body onto the sofa while holding his chest.
"Of course I'm offended!". Reynald grumbling.
Anggi looked up at Reynald who was putting on a cold face. The girl approached and clasped Reynald's hand.
"I'm sorry.. Don't be angry.. It's all just my guess". Soft Anggi.
Reynald was still silently unmoved not responding let alone looking over.
Anggi sighed softly. "alright.. I'll stay in your penthouse until my house is finished renovating". Anggi.
Hearing that Reynald then turned to Anggi with a surprised look.
"really? You can't pull your words anymore!".Threat Reynald.
Anggi. "Yes.. I'll obey you to stay here".
Yup! At last... It turns out persuading girls doesn't seem too difficult..
Reynald cheered inwardly.
Reynald then stood up. "Let me show you where your room was during my penthouse stay". Reynald.
Anggi then stood following Reynald to a room on the first floor close to the penthouse balcony. Anggi circulates the view to all corners of the spacious room with the dominance of white and brown. There is a three-door glass cabinet in the corner near the window and a king-size mattress. Wooden accents on the walls around the mattress add a warm impression to the room.
"I think every room in your penthouse has its own characteristics. If your private room reflects masculinity, it reflects warmth... I became curious that the room next to this room has a characteristic of how hehehe". Anggi chuckled while staring in amazement with all the interiors created in the penthouse.
"Do you use interior design services?". Anggi asked as he looked at Reynald.
The man's face was shocked. He scratched the nape that wasn't even itchy at all. He glanced at Anggi with his eyes.
"That's.. Hm. Yep. I use services like that. Sure have". Said Reynald who responded Anggi with a sweet smile.
I'm sorry I lied to you.. All the interiors in my penthouse are Clara's...
Reynald sat up while looking at Anggi from the side.
