THE OUT OF MY LEAGUE

16

1 week.

Lily ignored Darren for a week.

Darren feels dumped in his own house. For 6 years, Lily has never done anything like this.

Really, Darren doesn't know exactly what he's wrong. He dizzy the 7 roving around only to think of Lily who refused to look him in the eye every time they passed each other at home.

Even when in the office, Darren will unconsciously be pensive to question the causes that make Lily to ignore it this way.

I swear, it doesn't taste so good.

But ...

Little did he knows, Lily ignored him for a trivial reason that most women would avoid; falling in love.

When in love, the heart will beat without a signal, the stomach feels full of butterflies that make mules without cause.

Some of those things hit Lily from day one in the hospital garden. That simple gesture, how Darren ruffled Lily's hair pinnacle with anxiety, which Lily could not fall for.

You know, because women are so complicated, even the slightest thing, they'll put too much hope.

And, sometimes that's what Lily fears, because in reality, she can't put more hope because of their relationship that is just an employer and a caregiver.

However, as miserable as Lily was, Darren felt he was the one who suffered the most here. He was silenced without explanation, making him upset for no reason. So, when there is a welcoming party of new employees today - which he will usually refuse when invited - he is sitting among his employees while chugging alcohol for the umpteenth time.

It was past 1 o'clock, and half the employees had already gone home, while the other half had fallen asleep on the sofa.

Ophelia, Darren's secretary who was present tonight was the most aware of the others. Since seeing his boss drinking more than 5 gulps, he immediately stopped because he knew the events after this would not end well.

In the past, once, when Ophelia was 1 month working as an apprentice secretary, she had to deal with Darren's super bad mood, making the man have to drink until he was really drunk. Ophelia, of course, was in a fog, carrying the height and weight of her boss was not an easy thing, especially when she used heels to walk. Really torture.

“Bos?”

Ophelia shook her boss' shoulder. Darren's cheeks have long kissed the table, his lips pursed funny, he fell asleep up there.

Ophelia clucked, her face wry, she was already agitated at wanting to go home, but this boss of hers had to trouble her first before that happened.

“Bos!” Ophelia brushed Darren's shoulder. Foolish, after all, his boss won't realize who hit his shoulder that hard.

“Come, I'll take you home.”

Darren raised his head slightly, his eyes were open, unfortunately his eyes were clouded, there was also a slight dizziness in his head.

“Ng?”

“We're home, it's 1.”

Taking a deep breath, Darren gathered his strength to get up to fix his seat.

“Come!”

Darren immediately stood up in a daze. Ophelia immediately held onto her boss's arm. However, Darren immediately waved his hand, telling Ophelia that he could walk by himself. It was only automatically with pleasure that Ophelia did it. That means he doesn't have to suffer.

Following closely behind, Ophelia watched her boss who was walking straight down the stairs.

They both came out through the glass door, a strong wind welcomed along with a drizzle that at any time could be a heavy rain.

Ophelia immediately rubbed her arms together in the cold. Just a moment he looked around, unfortunately so turned his head, he was made to sigh because of the behavior of his boss who was crouching hugging his knees while drawing on the ground with his finger.

Turning her eyeballs lazily, Ophelia tried to pull Darren's arm. “Bos, let's take it, it'll be raining hard soon-and please stop drawing there!”

Darren pulled back his arm, frowning from being forced, then continued to draw mountains and rice fields on the ground.

Ophelia stomped her shoes because of the cob. But in the end he followed the squat next to Darren while grunting violently.

How'this? Ask in the heart.

Ophelia glanced at her boss at a glance.

Did I just leave, huh? Ophelia. Uh, but! If anything happens, it could be me that he blames. Isha! Ophelia hit her bag upset, already wanting to cry from having to get stuck with this troublesome big baby. Where she should go to work early again. If you're lucky, there's still Diana, the deputy secretary who will replace him 15 minutes before his boss comes. But if it doesn't? Yes mampus!

Suddenly, though ...

Someone from behind approached the two of them, watching the figure of the drunk man and the woman who was grieving.

“Ophelia?” Call him unsure.

When it turned around and Ophelia looked up, the figure smiled widely.

“Mike?”

Ophelia wakes up and faces Mike, smiling back. Just so you know, you could say, Ophelia secretly liked Mike since his arrival in their company. So whenever there was a chance, he would try to look charming in front of her.

“Why are you squatting in front here?”

Ophelia tucked her hair pretty and replied, “Ah, about that ... I was supposed to drive my boss home, but he was hard to persuade, so I crouched down with him here until he wanted to be invited home.” Ophelia grew her smile. “Mmm ... Then you? Did you join the welcoming party too? But why didn't I see you from earlier?”

“Oh, about that ... I was in another room, I heard you guys were going to have a party, but since I have other business, I didn't come.”

A moment tucked into a small ruckus past Mike's lips his brows frowned inexplicably as he looked back at Darren. “He's drunk?” Because as far as possible, this man looks immune to being invited to heavy drunk.

“Yes, usually he's not like this. Maybe he has a problem, so look for an impingement.” Ophelia stared pityfully at Darren.

“Mmm ..” at a glance Mike looks around, the wind is getting louder only. “How about if I just drive it, after all this is almost 2 hours, soon it looks like it will rain heavily, it will be dangerous for you to go home even later.”

Ophelia sumringah, her eyes twinkling. Aih, angel!

“Really?” Ask cheerfully.

Mike nodded.

After that, Ophelia sends Darren's address via message, and tells him to ask Darren for the key directly, before finally saying goodbye.

Ophelia looked down next to Darren “Bos' ear, I went home first, yeah. Mike will take you home. Careful, byeah!”

Despite being heavily sleepy and still busy drawing on the ground, Darren's goal raised his gaze while replying to Ophelia's hand slowly, exactly the kindergarten boy who waved at his friend who had been invited first.

“Come home, give me your car keys.”

Darren reached into his pants pocket slowly and lazily, after which he gave it to the hand that was asking for it.

“Come, I help you stand.”

With his male power, Mike is better able to lift Darren than Ophelia herself. Luckily Darren didn't mess up this time, and just complied as he was carried to his car.

Mike drove in silence after that. In the weather that was really starting to rain, he called his driver to pick him up as soon as he finished delivering Darren After that, he played the radio to just fill the void, while next to him fell asleep, a figure who seemed to really be misfortune tomorrow morning to go to the office.

About 45 minutes drive, plus traffic jams at some point due to strong winds and heavy rain, Mike finally managed to arrive safely at Darren's house.

Opening the car door and fighting off the rain, Mike picks up Darren in the next seat, forces him down and goes with him. The exposure of hundreds of specks grabbed Darren's face as soon as he got out of the car, making him a little aware of his heavy drowsiness.

“Hurry, we'll get soaked if you're too slow.”

Huuh! Darren doesn't know who's carrying this. But he's so chatty. Darren pouted, his lips manyuning in annoyance.

As soon as he got to the front door after going through some stairs, Mike hurriedly pressed the bell up to three times, but there was no sign, so he pressed it back.

Only at that time did Lily appear in a light blue blanket on her body, her hair was tied up originally, her eyes looked exhausted. But once Lily realized her employer appeared in a state of heavy drunkenness, she immediately panicked.

“What happened?”

Mike, who was lured for a moment by the figure before him, made him blink a few times before answering, “That's ... Darren got drunk at the new employee's welcome party, so I helped drive him home.”

“Hah?” Lily's dumbass, looks hard to believe.

Mike hesitates about handing this drunk man over to the weak woman in front of him. “Mmm ... Are you sure you can take care of it?”

Lily blinked. “Ah ... Of course--give me.”

Lily hurriedly grabbed Darren to carry him on her shoulder, but the man had already thrown himself in front of Lily's chest, hugging the woman's neck tightly.

Lily was surprised, but she finally had to hug her master's body so that he wouldn't slump down. While Darren had fallen asleep on Lily's shoulder in an unconscious state.

Seeing that scene, Mike knew himself to leave now and immediately handed the car keys to Lily's hand “Then ... Here's the car keys I returned. I say goodbye, byeah!”

Lily stared blankly. “Daaah,” he said inaudible, because Mike had first run through the rain and finally disappeared. Lily hasn't even thanked me.

Lily pensive for a moment, before the sound of thunder and strong wind resuscitated her to immediately close the door.

Due to the completely dark state of the first floor, Lily stopped by for a while to turn on the switch, then brought Darren to lie down on the long sofa. He could not have climbed the stairs while carrying the heavy body of his master.

Lily looked up for a moment, checking the sound or anything that indicates whether Mary woke up or not. But it doesn't seem to.

So Lily went straight to the kitchen to get some water from the tap, after which came carrying it and putting it on the table. Then he hastily climbed upstairs to pick up Darren's towel and dry clothes.

Once everything was complete on the table, Lily approached herself by sitting on the edge of the sofa, then began compressing the towel with warm water in the basin. Moving from the forehead, to the neck, Lily did it meticulously, clearing away any sweat or anything that felt sticky on Darren's body.

The rain was getting heavier out there, then the sound of thunder exploded, along with Darren who suddenly grabbed Lily's arm while she was a little dreamy.

Lily flinched, gnashing for a moment. “Master?”

Darren opened his eyes slightly, he vaguely saw Lily's shadow. He knew he had shed tears. Lily panicked to see him, but she could not do anything, so she just fell silent to see her master instead crying like children with a hoarse voice that sounded real.

“Da, Darren?” Call Lily half-whispering.

Darren wiped his tears using the back of his hand. Suddenly her long arms reached for Lily's neck and pulled her into her arms.

Lily's body stiffened on it, she was too shocked to just move away. But when the embrace became so long, Lily began to feel tight, and decided to pull back her body to sit as before.

But unfortunately, Darren hugged Lily so tightly. When he felt movement, he even more tightened his embrace.

What exactly is Darren thinking?

“Do not go,” whispers are still closed.

But Lily can't keep this up. Darren's body is soaking wet, and he stinks of alcohol. Moreover, his heart had not been able to compromise since earlier. Really pounding no nonsense. Lily shy.

“Master, please let go of me.”

Lily rested on her two hands on the couch, then moved back and pulled her body apart, and!

Lily sighed in relief for a while, after which she was about to stand up to go drink in the kitchen, her heart had to be pacified first.

However, before that happens, Darren first pulls Lily's left arm roughly and makes her end up sitting on her lap.

Darren was still a little dizzy when he got up to sit down, but he forced his eyes to open. Lily turned to him, and Darren chuckled instead.

“Why do you keep ignoring me?”

What's he gonna do? Lily's heart beating isn't okay when Darren starts to approach her.

A second later, wordlessly, without excuse, Darren grabbed Lily's warm lips.

He didn't even care how Lily started to concoct to get away from him. He didn't even care when Lily glared and started to tear out when her tongue was playing inside there. She didn't even care when Lily struck her chest mercilessly and instead coolly hugged the woman's slender waist.

Lily crying.

For once again, Lily made her last attempt, when she really felt herself dirty from her own master's actions, Lily pushed as hard as Darren's chest force to make him crash back to where he was lying earlier.

Lily used that opportunity to run away from this crazy thing. He was not even given a chance to digest what had happened. For all he knew, this house was no longer safe for him, his master had already dirty him, and he did not even deserve to be in this place. So when he had taken back his blue blanket, he ran to open the door of the house and left here.

Lily ran as far as she could, against the rain, through the wind, even paying attention to the ears of the unpretentious thunder above.

6 Years he knew Darren, a thousand favors he offered, but in one night, one mistake had made everything fall apart.

The rain wept with him, disguising every drop of his sorrow. Thinking about it, however, the reason Lily fought like this was probably because her joy was not that big to let herself be dirty. Especially in an indecent way.

How could Darren have kissed her with that alcoholic mouth, when he himself knew 6 years ago the reason for leaving the village was because his drunken stepfather had wanted to harass her as well.

Embracing her blanket on her body, Lily continued to step barefoot.

He doesn't care anymore. He's fucked. He just wants to go, go and never come back.
