Sweetest Escape

Rejection of Kayla

Kayla's body slumped down. Without being told, his tears pierced which then became a roar because the pain in the heart was eager to be evaporated.

Arden is an adult, understanding what evil means to a woman who is mocked. Kayla knew she knew she was unattractive, but was it appropriate for her playmates to say that? It's so outrageous, Kayla can't bear to endure it.

Kayla got up from her seat, stepped towards the kitchen. He opened the fridge, picked up a soda drink, a potato snack, two packs of chocolate bars and a chocolate-covered chocolate-cake chocochip. At least these foods can calm his nervous feelings.

"It's up to you to tell me what, Arden. I don't give a shit. This is what I am. Kayla with a body filled. Steve loves me because I'm good not like you see women physically" Kayla murmured.

While the tears still flowed, Kayla finished two pieces of cake, one can of drink, but did not make her feelings better.

"I need Steve" said Kayla.

Soon Kay picked up the phone, contacted the lover who was in a different apartment from her. Kayla really doesn't understand. Steve should be in the same building as him, not the Arden.

Although Arden rarely stayed in his room, but the man always came every day just to stop by. It was not uncommon for Kayla to cross paths with him. Kayla used to see Arden staying with a woman. It could be said that the apartment for Arden is a stopping place to sleep with many girls.

Kayla called Steve to stay at his place. The fiancee agreed to that. Actually, Steve wanted them to stay together, but Kayla refused.

Waiting for Steve for forty-five minutes had Kayla spending two cans of soda. Two packs of potato snacks and half a chocolate bar.

The apartment door opened, Kayla looked at Steve coming in. "Darling!" Kayla got up from her seat, ran and immediately hugged Steve until the man's body was pushed to the back of the door.

"Darling, what's wrong with you?" ask Steve.

Kayla pulled away, looking at Steve who was also staring at her. "Arden is back to bully me."

"He came here?" ask Steve.

Kayla nodded. "Yes, he came here just to make fun of me."

"I was surprised by him. Are you really friends from childhood? Why does he always hurt you?"

"From childhood, too. Arden always said I was fat" Kayla replied.

Steve takes Kayla to sit on the couch, but she is shocked by the food at the table. Kayla has spent so many snacks that she can gain weight drastically.

"You spent all this? You said you wanted a diet?" ask Steve.

"I just want my mood to be good."

Steve took a breath. "Kay, your body is heavy. I mean, don't be too big. Remember, you can get a disease."

"I know, Steve," said Kayla, guiltily.

Kayla promised Steve she would lose weight. Diabetes, heart disease, can attack. If she continued to eat like this, Kayla was not sure her body was in decline.

"I'll sort this out. You just clean yourself up. Look at your face full of faded mascara" Steve said.

Kayla nodded. "I'm going to go to the room."

Steve takes care of the messy table, while Kayla goes to clean up. After everything was settled, Steve followed Kayla to the room.

"It's over?" ask Kayla who just came out of the bathroom.

Steve nodded. "Yes. It's getting late. We're sleeping now. Tomorrow, you have to work too, right?"

"Yes, and I'll see Arden again."

"Just a few months, baby. We're moving to America soon."

Kayla sits on the edge of the lover's side bed. "My father was very sad I moved."

"He has to let it go." Steve laughed, and then both were silent.

As Kayla gets closer, Steve advances the body so they can put lips together. Steve's hand slipped behind Kayla's hair to let them turn deeper.

Both of them fell on the bed, Steve betrothed the lover without removing the link of their lips. His fingers went down, looking for the ties of the kimono strap that Kayla was wearing.

"Don't!" kayla said after breaking free from Steve's lips.

"I know Steve, it's not the first thing for you, but I want us to do it after marriage" Kayla replied.

Steve rubbed his face. "I guess you told me to come because you wanted me to."

"I just want you to respect my decision."

Steve took a deep breath. "I've always followed you, Kay. Never mind, we'll just sleep."

Steve pulled the blanket and turned his back on his girlfriend. Seeing that, Kayla felt guilty for her rejection of Steve. This is not the first to happen, but Kayla remains in principle the one who wants to relinquish honor after marriage.

...****************...

Kayla was very happy when she saw that breakfast was available at the dinner table. Steve invited himself to taste the pancakes that were spread honey on it and a glass of apple juice.

"I like your pancakes the most" said Kayla.

"It's the first day you get into a big company. I have to make this moment special" replied Steve.

Kayla was also relieved that Steve no longer questioned her over last night's refusal. This morning, Steve's mood was very good, and Kayla wanted her future husband to stay like this. Smiled happily because it made Steve so handsome.

"After this, I'll easily get into foreign companies that are in America. Kevin will give me a letter of recommendation" Kayla said.

"Why don't you get into Mr Kevin's company in America?" ask Steve.

"The company has been given to Dika and Arden. Om Dika is very picky. He didn't like employees going in the deep lane, and I wanted to work at the company I wanted. I mean working with strangers."

Steve nodded. "A lot of experience is very good for you, dear."

"And I'm happy because you're gonna drive me this morning."

Steve got up from his seat to kiss Kayla's lips. "For you, whatever I do."

After breakfast, the two left the apartment. Kayla and Steve walked together to the elevator, not expecting a man to be waiting for the door to open.

"That's Arden" whispered Kayla.

"Let him go" said Steve.

Arden turned to the pair of human children standing beside him. "Morning."

"Morning for you" Steve replied.

The elevator opens, Arden enters first followed by Steve and Kayla. Their goal is the same, namely the ground floor.

"Tight," said Arden.

"This lift is even fit for two more people" said Steve.

"I just felt hot" said Arden.

Steve screeched, "Stop being childish, Arden! I didn't forget what you did to Kayla last night."

"Oh, is your lover complaining?"

Steve heads up, he wants to challenge Arden, but Kayla holds him back. "Let me, honey."

"Don't put him on."

"Why, Kay?" ask Arden.

Kayla closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down not to be provoked by Arden's provocation.

"What I said last night is true, right?" said Arden.

"Damn it!" snapped Steve.
