Chapter 36
“So someone stole your car and destroyed it?”
“Sial, G, can't you not repeat the same question all day.”
Daniel looked at Gerard who just shrugged his shoulders with a smile.This day everyone looks so happy to tease Daniel who is sad because his favorite car is now shapeless. From the results of the police investigation Daniel found out that someone easily stole the proud blue Mustang Selbi car.
“Oh... I used to even save and live efficiently to buy it,” said Daniel while taking a deep breath and then spent the drink.
After dinner at Daniel's parents' house, they decide to go to The Rock, the plan was to console Daniel who had just lost his beloved car but who was there they all unceasingly discussed about it and instead made Daniel even more sad.
“Don't be too sad, we'll look for the exact same car and buy it,” Kerelyn said trying to cheer up her lover and it looks like it worked because Daniel started to smile a little.
“But it's not the same, Kerelyn, memories can't be replaced even with a vehicle with the same model,” said Alex as he raised his eyebrows casually, and it again made Daniel nod sadly.
“Alex, right.. we could have bought the exact same car but memories can't be bought,” said Gerard who further added to Daniel's sadness, “You remember, D, said, you even did your first date in that car,” continued Gererd who now makes Daniel turn his eyes in disbelief his best friend leaked the secrets of his past in front of Kerelyn, he then looked at Kerelyn who had started to frown.
“And remember when that night we found you in the middle of the car.” as fast as lightning Daniel closed Alex's mouth using his palm, his eyes glared at his unlucky friend even like he was holding a laugh.
“What does he do?” ask Alexa and Raina who look curious.
“Nothing! I didn't do anything,” Daniel said, glaring at the two, he then smiled wryly looking at Kerelyn who seemed to have understood where this conversation was going because she now looked really sullen and it made Daniel curse his two best friends.
“You are right, Kerelyn, tomorrow we will look for a new car,” continued Daniel with a smile staring Kerelyn trying to persuade him.
“With a very different model?” kerelyn asked as she looked at Daniel sharply who immediately nodded in agreement.
“I promise the car will be very different,” Daniel said with passion to convince Kerelyn.
“Why buy another model? I think you look cool in that car, and that's why so many women like you.” Alexa said innocently that made Daniel glare at him but unfortunately his sister even shrugged his shoulders casually.
“You're right Lexi, I also think like that.” Daniel now glared at Alex, “Don't forget, his precious memory,” continued the NYPD detective made Kerelyn again pout at the memories Daniel did in the car.
“Ah yes..memories,” said Alexa while nodding, “And a very beautiful past with her.”
Kerelyn and Daniel looked at Alexa in disbelief, “Together with your car, I mean,” he continued after seeing how Daniel glared at her as if his eyeballs were about to jump out. Daniel could see Gerard holding back his laughter while looking the other way trying to avoid his gaze.
“You even named him..”.
“Ok, enough!” exclaiming Daniel stopped talking about the car and all the memories of his past that will only make Kerelyn carefree, “I want a new car with a very different model with, do you guys understand?” he continued while staring at the two brats taking turns as if he wanted to eat both of them alive.
“Ya of course,” replied Alex casually while smiling obliquely.
“That's your money, of course you're free to buy any car, correct?” alexa said no less relaxed who can nod in agreement from Alex, Gerard and Raina.
“Good!” daniel said while taking a drink belonging to Gerard who could immediately protest from the man with glasses but he did not listen to it instead immediately drank it until it ran out, “Don't I tell you that they're united it's terrible?” daniel said as he looked at Kerelyn who seemed to nod in agreement.
“But they are very funny.” Kerelyn said with a smile looking at Alex and Alexa who were fighting over tacos with barbeque sauce, “And you, dear.
“Sweetheart..
“Excuse me..” The voice of a woman cut off Daniel's words and distracted everyone. Now standing in front of them a short-haired woman with a dark brown shoulder, her face flashing a sweet smile, she looked beautiful wearing only white pants and a blue long-sleeved blouse.
“I'm sorry, am I interrupting?” he asked as he looked at Alex who stood up and smiled welcoming him.
“Of course not... guys, meet Lucy, my partner at NYPD,” said Alex introduced a woman who looked surprised when the sharp blue-eyed man introduced her as a colleague.
“Gerard, Alexa, Raina, Daniel and Kerelyn,” he continued to introduce his friends.
“Yes God, you look prettier than on television,” Lucy said after seeing Kerelyn smiling kindly, “I'm one of your fans,” he continued with sparkling eyes staring at Kerelyn.
“Thank you,” said Kerelyn again smiling as she looked at Lucy who had now sat down to join them. For a while they just looked at each other and smiled awkwardly, until finally Alexa broke the silence.
“What are you guys dating?” As usual Alexa always talks what she has in mind and it makes everyone now look at Alex and Lucy alternately waiting for answers from those who just stared at each other for a while.
“Yes, you could say that,” Lucy replied as she looked at Alex who was just smiling obliquely looking at her.
“I told you she couldn't be insyaf,” whispered Alexa as she advanced her body towards Kerelyn and Raina, respectively, but unfortunately the whisper was heard by everyone who was at their table and it made Gerard and Daniel hold his smile, Alex could only shake his head, while Lucy looked confused.
“Lexi, I heard it.”
“Don't call me, Lexi!” Alexa protested while staring at Alex pouting.
“Lex.i.” Alexa looked at Alex with a murderous look.
“I wonder why women like you,” said Alexa while shaking her head.
“You are very annoying.”
“Because I'm sexy.”
“You're impotent.” Everyone spouted his laughter that was stifled hearing Alexa's last words, only Lucy who seemed to be wide in disbelief heard it.
“I don't..”
“So... how long have you known each other?” daniel intersects Alex's remarks and attempts to end the endless Tom and Jerry debate.
The sudden change in the direction of the conversation initially made Lucy confused but eventually she began to be able to control herself and began to tell the first time she and Alex knew each other that is approximately two years ago when he just got transferred from the LAPD, and they've been dating for the last few days.
Some time they dissolve in simple talk from the friendship of the three men to the relationship of Daniel-Kerelyn because it looks like Alex's date looks so curious about the romance of the artist. Several times Kerelyn glanced at Alexa and Raina who were whispering and occasionally they would giggle together, and it made her very envious, she was eager to join the conversation, but Lucy didn't let him, she dominated the conversation by asking Kerelyn some personal questions and that made her feel like she was being interrogated. Daniel, Alex and Gerard see Kerelyn's discomfort, they try to switch the conversation but Lucy doesn't seem to ponder it and it makes Alex feel bad about Kerelyn, he hears Alexa whispering to Gerard.
“Do you come with us?”
“Bet on what?” gerard asked in a whisper.
“They,” replied Alexa while tilting her head towards Alex and Lucy. Gerard instantly understood what the bet was about this time.
“1 month.”
“You sure?” alexa asked not to believe Gerard would bet that long.
“Yap,” replied Gerard while smiling confidently.
“Ok, deal... the loser has to buy dinner for one month,” whispered Alexa with a smile.
“And you still owe me a bet yesterday, Lexi,” whispered Alex between Gerard and Alexa who looked shocked to hear his voice.
“You heard it?” alexa asked not to believe that her words sounded because she felt that she was whispering.
Alex nodded before whispering, “You bet how long?” he looked at Alexa who immediately smiled with sparkling eyes.
“Sunday... Raina 2 weeks, I haven't asked Kerelyn and Daniel. I'm sure Dylan, Emily, Theo and Calista will join.”.
Alex seemed to think for a while before he finally said, “I'm three months.”
Alexa and Gerard stared at each other in disbelief, “You can not come to bet this time,” said Alexa still while whispering fiercely staring at the blue-eyed man.
“Man, if that's true it will be your longest record,” Gerard said, shaking his head in disbelief.
“Whatever I'll do for a free dinner for a month.” Alex said while patting Alexa's head that looked pouted.
“It's not fair!” Alexa's voice that unconsciously shouted a little made all oarang now look at the three of them.
“What's unfair?” Daniel asked as he looked at the three curious, Raina shook her head pretending not to know as her older cousin looked at him hoping for an answer. Alexa opened her mouth to tell the truth but she saw Lucy watching her, and Alex looked at her amusedly.
“They forbid me to date,” said Alexa tried to lie to remove the suspicion of Lucy who was still watching her, “Can you imagine... Alex is dating Lucy, Gerard is with Sarah.”.
“I didn't date Sarah,” Gerard protests cut off Alexa's words, making the girl glare at her.
“Yes you are dating her,” Raina said as she stared at the lazy Gerard.
“I didn't date her, I just took her to Emily.”'s party
“It's the same!” raina, Alexa and Kerelyn exclaimed together to make the glasses man look at the three in disbelief and then throw his breath heavy.
“I mean, Emily is even married to Dylan, Calista is getting married to Theo soon. And me? They forbid me to date.. Isn't that unfair?” alexa said in a pitiful voice, making Kerelyn and Raina nod their heads in sympathy, but in contrast to the men who just looked at her casually.
“Let's remember Lexa, if you ever become a spinster, I'll have one of them both marry you,” Daniel said casually making Alexa look at him in disbelief.
“No thanks, than I have to lose to compete with the CPU,” said Alexa while staring at Gerard and shook her head, “Or I have to kill the women my husband cheats once a week,” he continued while staring at Alex who winked one eye at him while smiling obliquely making the girl shake her head again, “So it is better now that I am looking for a lover who is loyal and loves me, like Dylan loves Emily.” Alexa said with her eyes glaring with a happy smile at the thought of how happy her twin sister could be to marry a man who loved her so much.
“Come Rain, we go!” Alexa exclaims with passion to make everyone look confused.
“Where are you going?” kerelyn asked curiously looking at her two friends who were ready to leave.
“We will hunt handsome men in Town Squre,” replied Alexa with a big smile before finally leaving together as she wanted.
“Ah... shit! Hey, wait for me!” Gerard exclaimed as he walked quickly after the two, leaving Alex and Daniel who could only smile to see him.
