The Gray Autumn's

Belle Complicite

Autumn let go of her kiss for a moment, even though her face was still facing Benjamin. A sweet, spoiled smile full of happiness reappeared. It feels like a dream when they can return to such love.

"The mother said that we will be back in France by the end of this week. How's yours?" tanyanya while rubbing the back of Benjamin's hand that coiled in the stomach.

"It looks like I'll be back early. You know not that I'm here leaving Fleur in Paris" Benjamin said. The gray-eyed man then kissed Autumn's forehead gently.

"Then, as long as you're here then who's guarding Fleur?" asked Autumn again looking worried.

"There's Jay and Quinton. The two of them were personal bodyguards that I deliberately hired during my time here" Benjamin explained. A breath slowly slid from his lips. "There's a lot going on for a while back. However, one thing for sure is that I miss you a lot," the copper-haired brunette further tightened her hold, making Autumn again lean her head against the chest that felt so comfortable.

"I hope things get better soon. I honestly ...." Autumn did not have time to continue her words, because the sound of a cellphone ringing was heard from inside the bag.

She got up and grabbed her sling bag. He reached into the bag, then picked up the cell phone. Jenna's name is on the screen. Not yet had Autumn to say the opening greeting, Edgar's heavy voice had first sounded in his ear.

"Where are you? It's late and you're not home yet" the charismatic man said worriedly.

"I'm .. I'm still with Ben, dad. I promise I won't be home late. I don't need to worry," said Autumn who occasionally glanced at her lover. While Benjamin just smiled knot. Again he spoils the eyes by looking at the figure of Autumn from the tip of the hair to the tip of the foot.

"Did that guy lock you up and not let you go? I hope he doesn't do anything to you" Edgar said in a half-threatening tone.

However, the father's words even reply to a crisp laugh from Autumn. "Gosh, I don't think you can joke, well," said the gray-eyed girl, stopping her laughter. Benjamin just frowned. "I'll be home soon" Autumn closed before ending the conversation. After which, he turned to Benjamin who was still watching himself intently. "I have to go home" said Autumn lethargic.

Benjamin did not immediately answer. He just kept staring at the girl with the short-sleeved sabrina top. There is an implied meaning in the eyes of the thirty-five year old man. Something very deep and perhaps difficult for him to describe in detail.

"You all right, Ben?" asked Autumn after a moment of silence between them. The girl approached, then lay her body on top of Benjamin in a position facing each other. He looked at the handsome face full of charm father of one child who had made himself crazy. Benjamin was too perfect for him to miss.

"I want to stop time, keep it this way" Benjamin said. The gray-eyed man gently stroked Autumn's hair which only smiled upon hearing her words.

"If I asked you not to go, would you obey him?" the man's question made Autumn instantly link an eyebrow. "I don't want you to stay away from me again, Elle," Benjamin's hand turned to Autumn's slender waist, then held her tight.

"You know what, Ben?" Autumn comfortably laid her head on Benjamin's chest, so she could hear the man's heartbeat. "You were my first love, even though I was in a relationship with Leon before. But nothing ever happened between the two of us. Everything feels so ordinary. I don't even care and just get annoyed if he acts like a bitch. However, the other is with you," said Autumn slowly.

"What's different about me?" benjamin asked with a confident smile.

"You make me cry, laugh, and make me so special. I really feel mature when I'm around you. You have a charming smile. I love the way you speak, your body language, everything. You got me so hooked, and I fell in love," Autumn said shyly.

"When did you start falling in love with me?" lure Benjamin again.

"Since we met again in Marseille" Autumn replied with a beautiful twinkle on both of her eyeballs. "See, but at that time you looked so handsome even though I saw you kissing a woman at the resort's inauguration. Women are different from what I saw at your residence. Oh, you're so naughty. Ben," Autumn pinched Benjamin's nose, then laughed softly.

"I'm not doing anything, Elle. Really," Benjamin interrupted with deep emphasis. He hopes that Autumn can trust all of his words.

"alright. I have to go home immediately, "carefully, Autumn got up from Benjamin's body, then tidied up her appearance in front of the mirror.

Meanwhile, Benjamin hugged her back. "Don't go" he whispered as he buried his face near Autumn's neck.

"Come, Ben. We've been spending all day. Isn't that enough for you?" Autumn frowned, responding to the spoiled attitude of her lover.

"There will never be enough words for everything that relates to you, Elle," Benjamin said. "What if you go back to France with me? While waiting for your parents to come, you can stay at my house" a crazy offer from Benjamin Royce, and make Autumn laugh when she hears it. "Why are you laughing? What's so funny?" Benjamin doesn't understand.

"You're so ridiculous. If you dare, say it in front of Mr. Hillaire," challenge Autumn calmly as she grabs her bag. "All right, so you're gonna find me a cab or ...."

"I'll take you, "" Benjamin said. He grabbed his phone, then called the rental driver who had picked up Autumn and drove her to the hotel. "Come, the driver is ready," Benjamin asked after he ended the conversation. The man immediately grabbed Autumn's wrist and led her out of the room.

During the trip, Benjamin continued to hold the Autumn's fingers. Every now and then, the gray-eyed man kissed her deeply. While Autumn just smiled while leaning his head on the shoulder of the lover.

The distance from the hotel to the Winata family home is not far. About twenty minutes later, the car they were riding in had arrived at the courtyard of the magnificent mansion. Benjamin walked out first, then opened the door for Autumn. He returned to lead the beautiful girl when he was about to enter the house. Inside, Autumn sees Keanu talking to Moedya. Next to Arumi's ex-lover, sat a young man who was none other than Patra. His gaze fixed on Autumn who came with Benjamin.

"Just come home, Elle," said Keanu. He then stood up and approached the two lovebirds. Keanu immediately greeted Benjamin warmly. "It just so happens that you came here, Mr. Royce. Let me introduce to my best friend and business partner," he asked. He invited Benjamin to join. Gladly, the gray-eyed man accepted the invitation from Keanu. Autumn said goodbye to go to her room. Benjamin then stepped near the sofa.

"Sir Royce, this is Mr. Arjuna Moedya Aryatama. He was the owner of the construction company I used to work with, "Keanu turned his hand to Moedya who immediately stood up and shook his hands.

"Call me Moedya" said Diana's husband kindly.

"Benjamin Royce" Benjamin replied no less gracious. He then sat down after Keanu invited him.

"How about, Mr Royce? Are you still interested in working with us?" tanya Keanu continued his conversation with Benjamin a few days ago.

"Oh, sure. So, how?" ask Benjamin.

"I've spoken to Edgar. We will be building a resort outside Java. Incidentally, my best friend is ready to help" Keanu explained.

Benjamin turned to Moedya, then smiled. However, he felt uncomfortable with the gaze of the young man next to Moedya, who had been watching him so closely since then. I don't know what the young man saw of him. Patra seemed to be researching in detail every part of Benjamin. However, despite feeling uncomfortable, the copper-haired man did not want to be too dizzy. He still showed his calm demeanor.

"Does Mr. Hillaire already know if I want to join your new project, Mr. Winata?" Benjamin turned his attention back to Keanu.

"We talked about it this afternoon. My sister-in-law agrees. Moreover, you will be his daughter-in-law in a moment."
