The Gray Autumn's

Doux au Revoir

Benjamin smiled broadly upon hearing the remark from Edgar. However, his eyes were even fixed on a beautiful face that was standing on the steps of the stairs. Autumn smiled sweetly with her short hair tied up carelessly. He also changed into his pajamas. Benjamin then looked at the watch on his left wrist. It's ten in a few minutes. He then smiled calmly at the girl while winking one eye. While Autumn just smelled his smile.

"Already, stop. It's time for you to go back to the hotel you're staying at," Edgar's voice suddenly resuscitated two lovebirds who were playing with their eyes. Benjamin laughed softly. The gray-eyed man turned his attention back to his future father-in-law, even though the good news was only heard from Keanu earlier.

"Before I get back to the hotel, I want to say something to you," Benjamin took a short breath then flung it down slowly. "Can Elle come back to France with me?" ask her calmly but expectantly.

"When are you going back to France?" instead of answering, Edgar asked back.

"I'll be back tomorrow by morning flight" Benjamin replied. His feelings are quite restless. However, as much as possible he still looks calm. "So, how? Are you going to allow me to ...."

"Can't!" reject Edgar immediately.

A short complaint slid from Benjamin's lips. Not with Autumn. The girl seemed to be smiling with a ridiculing smile towards her. Attitudes that make the man feel more anxious. If only Edgar wasn't there, he might have approached Autumn, then 'terminated it'. Benjamin simply replied to the grey-eyed girl with a calm look, then smiled calmly.

"alright. Then excuse me. Give my regards to Ms. Hillaire" he concluded. Not what Autumn thought. The girl thought that her lover would work hard to convince her father, to allow her to return to France with him. However, what Autumn thought did not happen. Benjamin purposely accepted Edgar's rejection just like that.

In the end, Autumn felt hooked. He walked over, then stood next to his father. "I'll drive Mr. Royce to his car" the girl said. Without waiting for Edgar's approval, he just grabbed Benjamin's arm and held him out. Edgar was still watching from the door.

"What the fuck? I thought you'd be working a little hard to persuade my father, but it turns out ...."

"What should I do? Mr. Hillaire refused it. I don't want to argue with the future father-in-law" said the copper-haired brunette calmly. While Edgar was still watching the two lovebirds who were talking while whispering near Benjamin's rental car.

"I don't think I can wait four days" Autumn said with a sad-looking eye. The girl also started putting on a spoiled face in front of Benjamin.

"Jeez," said Benjamin softly, "why are you so adorable?" whispered later. The man took a deep breath. Benjamin couldn't help himself from kissing the lover. However, on the doorstep Edgar's gaze continued to watch over the two. "Your father looks like a surveillance camera," he chirped, making the sulking Autumn suddenly laugh softly, pinching the waist of the handsome man before him.

"Hurry back to the hotel before my father turns into an invading robot" Autumn replied lightly. Benjamin just smiled at her smile. "Come, comein. It's too late for a visit," told Autumn again as she folded her arms around her chest.

However, instead of getting into the car, Benjamin instead approached the brunette. "I'm leaving, but before I want to kiss you first" whispered the man mischievously.

"You haven't seen my dad watching us since?" reply Autumn with a tail of eyes that glanced towards Edgar was.

Benjamin took a deep breath again. For a moment, he turned his head towards the direction where Edgar was standing while watching the two of them. Before long, the gray-eyed man turned his gaze back to Autumn. "I don't care" she said, cupping her lover's pretty face and kissing him for a while. While Edgar only scratched his forehead when watching what was done by his colleague and the lover of the eldest daughter.

"J'espere que vous dormez tranquille (I hope you sleep well),” Benjamin said before again kissing Autumn's lips for the second time. While the gray-eyed girl only responded with a smile. "When we meet again in Paris. I'll wait for you to come back, to get you to the altar soon." A farewell that made Autumn smile wider than before. He felt both happy and excited when he heard it. The postured girl nodded confidently.

Autumn was still standing glued in place, as the car that Benjamin was riding in had left the spacious courtyard of the Winata family residence. His heart was beating fast at that moment. Yes, he was completely convinced by the decision that had been taken. A moment later, the girl turned around. He looked up towards the balcony, where Arumi was standing while watching him. The beautiful woman nodded slowly accompanied by a gentle smile. After that, Autumn turned her gaze to the father who was still standing in the doorway. Edgar showed no reaction. However, his eyes looked different.

A foot was passed to the entrance, where Edgar was still standing, leaning his arm. Autumn then stood in front of her father. Without saying much, he immediately hugged the man tightly. "Thank you, Dad," Autumn said as she buried her face in Edgar's chest. While Edgar himself reciprocated Autumn's attitude with a gentle kiss on the top of the head of his beloved daughter.

The other with Benjamin. He returned to the hotel with a smile full of happiness. Although he would return to France tomorrow without Autumn, but four days was not a long time for him. In that four days, he will prepare everything. A plan that was delayed. However, this time everything must be done, even if anything happens. Upon arrival in the hotel room, Benjamin was able to rest his body comfortably. The rubbing of the pillow that was used as Autumn's head base last afternoon. Like a teenager, he clutched the pillow tightly.
