The Gray Autumn's

Baiser Voleur

"Alright, I think it's enough" Gabriel said. He got up from his seat and stood near Autumn. Without feeling awkward, Gabriel wrapped his arm around the girl's shoulder, and made Autum a little surprised. No different from Benjamin who at that time only squinted his two eyes. "The bottom line is that we now know one big secret from Miss Hillaire. So, I suggest to you Miss Beautiful, don't mess around because we all in this room could have leaked it to your father," he threatened and then accompanied by a ticklish laugh, and so do his other colleagues.

Another case with Benjamin who was still silent and stared fixedly at Autumn. The girl still looks calm. He even seemed to have a small smile on the corner of his lips. "To be honest I'm not afraid that it will leak into my father's ears, because I still have another much bigger secret" Autumn said with a smile, and instantly silenced those who were laughing. The attention of all who were there returned to him. Likewise with Benjamin who seemed to have guessed where the girl said. He took a deep breath.

"Oh, huh? Are you also going to share that big secret with us, Miss Hillaire?" gabriel's lyrics with his face that looks so friendly and adorable.

Autumn let out a crisp laugh while shaking her head. "If I share it with everyone, then the name is not a big secret anymore, Mr. Archambeau," Autumn denied replying to the glance of the man who had not removed his arm from the girl's shoulder. "Let it be only I who know it ...."

"Don't forget God, Miss Hillaire," Benjamin said calmly.

"Oh, you're absolutely right, Mr. Royce. God knows everything, even something hidden in your heart" Autumn replied.

"Ah, stop! I can't wait to open the drink we just bought" said one of Autumn's co-workers. He moved from his seat and took a shopping bag containing drinks and several kinds of snacks. The black-haired girl then presented everything on the table, having previously offered a bottle of drink to Benjamin.

"I hope you don't just drink tea and fresh milk, Miss Hillaire" said Gabriel, who brought a bottle for Autumn. The girl immediately received the bottle and smiled. Fear began to stir up his heart. Autumn is actually not strong to drink, even for low alcohol levels though. However, he also could not refuse, especially the party was devoted as his welcome.

A moment later, they started toast and enjoy a drink as well as some snacks available. There are jokes and laughter that adorn the simple event. Autumn even looks very entertained and enjoy the togetherness, to the point that he did not realize almost spent a bottle of his drink.

Benjamin seemed quite worried about it. He pulled out his phone and started typing messages. The man then gestured to Autumn, so that he immediately checked her phone. Autumn who could understand the gesture, then grabbed her bag. He went inside and took his cell phone. Autumn then checks the incoming messages sent by Benjamin.

You're not a drinker, honey. Stop before you get really drunk.

Suddenly, Autumn felt a soft tickle that was very laughable. His gray eyes sparkled and looked much more cheerful. He turned his gaze for a moment to Benjamin who was still watching him. A moment later, Autumn again directed her gaze back at the phone screen and started replying to the message.

If I get drunk, will you take me home?

There's still two hours until ten in the night. You'd better get home if you don't want to sleep on the porch.

Autumn gave a small smile reading the contents of the message. However, he had not been able to reply to him Gabriel had first invited him to speak. Autumn also turned her attention to the curly-haired man and conversed with him.

Watching that, Benjamin again felt a little disturbed. Somehow, because he felt dislike when he saw Autumn seemed familiar with other men. However, Benjamin continued to deny the feeling, until finally he really felt unable to bear it. Immediately put the bottle that he had been holding on the table. Benjamin then stood up and tidied up his shirt sleeves. "Please continue this welcoming party, but I'm sorry I have to go home soon. I still have business to do" he said.

"It's a pity that the show is not finished yet" Gabriel said as he stood up.

"I guess we'll just finish the show. Anyway, I have to go home before ten, "Autumn said, making the others complain slowly.

"It's okay, Miss Hillaire. You guys just continue. I'm glad to see the familiarity between all of you. May this compactness always be well preserved," Benjamin replied with a tone of speech and facial features that looked strange to Autumn. Without saying much more, the copper-haired brunette rushed out of Gabriel's apartment room and left a disappointed murat on Autumn's face.

The girl's regret is still there and not infrequently so mastered himself. He was disgusted by the character of Benjamin which he considered very jerk and had no feelings at all. However, a little hope always appears in the little heart of Autumn, against the man who is thirteen years older than him. Regretting is useless now. I don't know why he had to be reunited with a Benjamin Royce who was so charming but also scary.

"What if I take you home, Miss Hillaire?" Gabriel offers himself to Autumn when the show is completely over, moments after Benjamin leaves.

"Thank you, Mr. Archambeau. I don't want to trouble you. I can go home in a taxi, "push down Autumn while wearing her coat.

"If it's outside the office you can just call me Gabriel, so as not to be too formal. Do you agree, Autumn?" hail the man again.

Autumn smiled knot. He nodded slowly. "Call me by the name of Elle" he said. "Good night, Gabriel," Autumn waved her hand and joined her other comrades. He passed by with a gentle look and a smile from Gabriel.

When he arrived at the side of the road, Autumn's colleagues also resigned and took a different direction with the girl. While Autumn stood on the sidewalk while waiting for a passing taxi. However, before he got the cab he was looking for, someone suddenly pulled his wrist and made Autumn immediately turn her head. A warm touch was felt on her lips at that moment. Some time it lasted, until Autumn realized and immediately stopped everything.
