The Friend With Benefit (FWB)

jerk

Della sat on the sofa with her eyes closed, waiting for Eris who was still changing clothes in her room.

The masculine scent of Leon still clinging to the sofa he sat on made Della slightly lean forward, hugging herself while recalling one by one her memories with Leon.

He thought, by choosing Rey to be his fiancee will change the cold attitude of the man to show a more serious attitude with him. But Leon, instead chose another woman who unfortunately is Della's little friend.

"Dell's.. "

Eris' slightly hoarse voice dashed his imagination. Eris sat on the single sofa in front of Della with a grim face and puffy eyes.

"what's the problem, Ris? you guys fighting?"

Eris took a breath with a slight forced smile.

"it's not Dell."

"continue? "

"Lo know about my scandal with Leon? "

Della listened seriously, shook her head slowly and leaned slightly over her patting - patting Eris's arm to make the woman calmer.

"kalo want to cry, cry first Ris. New story. Take it easy, ok. "

Eris's previously held tears now come out freely making Della move to the handle of the sofa Eris occupied. He took Eris in his arms and rubbed her head.

"gue out of the andromade, Del"

"loh? why?"

"pa Leon knows about this scandal."

"sir Ardi? " Della furrowed her eyebrows and made sure she didn't hear the wrong thing that Eris answered.

"Lo.. fired? "

Eris shook her head, removing Della's embrace to pick up tissue in the room, leaving her still shocked by Eris's words.

Eris's phone, placed on the couch, vibrates, making Della reflex to pick it up and furrow her eyebrows at the sight of an anonymous no, rereading the no listed, then glaring to realize who the caller is.

"Dion smokes Eris's phone." Della whispers to herself, almost dropping Eris's phone because of the voice that was behind her.

"are there any phone? "

"e-eh, yes, but her no-name" Della nodded giving her phone back to Eris which made Eris take a breath.

"do you want to see the terror I've been terrorizing all this time? "

After typing a few sentences on his phone screen, Eris tells Della to read messages and screenshots of chat from unknown.

"God. There are yes humans who keyboard warrior gini"//Keyboard warrior \= vent emotions, diatribes or dirty words through writing//

Della furrowed her brows, read through the messages one by one and then turned her gaze to Eris who was pressing on her forehead on the sofa.

"wait.. isn't lo the same Leon courtship?"

"engga. " Eris shook her head, looking at Della who was full of question marks.

dreet.drettt.

The two women compactly look from afar at Eris's phone showing an incoming call from Leon, Della turning her eyes on Eris who just looked at her phone without interest.

"ga you lift, Ris? Leon"

"do you want soju?" Eris moved, switching the conversation with Della who raised her next to her eyebrows.

"answer the phone first. No, call her again. "

Della points at Eris's phone with her chin that Eris does not respond to. The woman simply put her shoulders down and turned to the kitchen pantry to pick up the remaining soju.

after making sure Eris is invisible, Della takes Eris's phone. View photos in the gallery.

Some screenshot quotes, places then folders are saved with the name bastard.

Della's view is locked seeing a selfie of Leon embracing Eris who looks just as innocent as just covered in a blanket, then Leon who took his own picture with the background Eris behind him who was still asleep.

Della's tears were held back, smiling bitterly at the happy-looking Leon kissing Eris' cheek.

Hearing footsteps, Della hurriedly blinked her eyes and saved Eris' phone back to her place. Forcing a smile on Eris who looks fresh enough while carrying 2 loki and 1 bottle of soju also 1 bottle of vodka.

"want to drink? "

Della nodded in response to Eris' offer. After stretching, he leaned over and raised his hand asking for the loki Eris had brought.

Both are equally soluble in each other's minds after choosing to drink vodka.

Della pulls out a cigarette on the back in her jacket. Leaning back his body and looking at Eris, asked for permission to light a cigarette which only answered a nod by Eris.

"you've taken the most obvious path, Ris. Stayin Leon. I gamau lo diancurin also the same him, he knows lo temen my deket so he deketin lo with the intention of making me hot too. "

Della laughed a little in the middle of the puff of her cigarette. Continuing the words that made Eris peck.

"he just wants to benefit you to make the same deket again me, the proof he gabisa love certainty right? I know Leon lied about your relationship. Ris, do not want to be fwb let alone the same guy who gabisa definitely the direction of the relationship. "

Della stood up, smiled briefly at Eris and then turned around, deciding to go home leaving Eris who was still sculpting. .

before entering the elevator Della closed her eyes, took her breath and rubbed the rough tears that had fallen.

"bicc" a swearing escaped Della's lips, her hands slightly clenched. His memory returns to Leon who used to always wake up next to him, accompany him everywhere and a smile that never escaped Leon's cold face.

Della misses the man's touch, his anger when Della returns late to their apartment in Europe or Leon's always spoiled attitude.

Now, he must accept the fact that Leon slept with his best friend. Della is looking forward to seeing Leon again, explaining the reason why he left the man first and started again even though he had to painstakingly approach Rey to attract Leon's attention to see him again.

the elevator door opened, and Della wiped away her tears and entered the empty elevator. Re-imagining her difficult story and forgetting her goal to appease Eris.

05.00 AM

Eris has not been on the couch. I don't know how many times Leon called him but the woman was not at all interested in lifting or touching her phone.

The words of Della that kept spinning in Eris' head and ears. making Eris smile cynically in the midst of her sunshiny cry thinking about all the problems that come because of one night's mistake about a relationship that she never thought would continue.

After closing his eyes and taking a breath, Eris leaned her body to pick up the phone and saw the last call.

Remembering something, Eris stepped into her room. Take a towel and clean yourself immediately.

his mind was not clear yet, moreover he could not sleep all night, coupled with someone who had sat on his sofa with a neat shirt and furrowed his eyebrows looking at the messy space table.

"lo drink? same who? "

"where you? "

Leon strafed Eris with questions that Eris hadn't even answered. Looking at the neat Eris early in the morning, Leon approached, raising his eyebrows at the black circumference under the woman's eyes.

"Riss? "

"lo Gaperneu meet me again." Eris brushed off Leon's hand that was about to touch her, walking backwards to immediately set a safe distance so as not to re-enter Leon's charm.

"Della, what's the same? Ris, we just improved. please. don't believe the same stranger -"

" he's not a stranger!"

"i mean, you don't believe the same words of people who belom of course you know the truth."

"truth? enough,Yon. I'm sick of everything, I'm already a stepping stone. "

Leon looked straight into Eris's eyes which looked very serious this time.

"Della, by the way? You know I love you the same. It's just the trauma of my past that makes it hard for me to start a relationship again." Leon's desperate tone lowered.

Eris glanced at Leon who was still looking down in front of him until Leon's phone broke the silence, displaying an incoming call from Dion.
