The Story is Not Over

Still Will Go

Devan blinked his eyes when he felt that Evelyn was not in his arms, Devan frowned at the digital clock on the nightstand showing at two o'clock, where Evelyn was at two o'clock.

Devan sat himself down and saw Evelyn sitting on the balcony of the room, the balcony wall made of glass so that Devan could see Evelyn leaning on the lounge chair while sipping a cigarette, lowering her feet moved towards the balcony where Evelyn was.

Seeing Evelyn using only a thin cloth as her body cover made Devan grab the blanket and continue her steps.

"It's cold outside, baby." Evelyn turned her head and looked at Devan who was draping a blanket over her shoulder.

Evelyn did not budge and returned to sipping her cigarette.

Devan sighed "Since when did you smoke?"

Evelyn muttered "Emmh it seemed like two years ago.." Evelyn is devastated when Damian dies, and for the first time Evelyn goes further smoking, getting drunk, and starting to learn pole dancing, something Evelyn thinks could make her forget about losing.

Devan knows that Evelyn lost their child and Devan believes that Evelyn alone needs an escape to forget her grief.

"Don't smoke too much, it's not good." Devan picked up one Evelyn cigarette on the table, then lit it.

Evelyn raised her eyebrows "You forbid me, but you yourself smoke."

"I told you not to do too much.."

Evelyn grunting.

Devan chuckles "Do you always talk formally to all men.."

"Not really.."

"Then why did you do it to me.." Devan blew smoke into the air "You scared?"

"Fearful?"

"Fear, charm me again, so you're fortifying yourself, right?"

Evelyn pouted, Devan's guess was right "And that means not entirely hate closing your heart.." Devan knows he still has a chance.

Evelyn was silent, her hand that was holding the cigarette started to tremble slightly.

"I'm not."

"If so prove, if you want me to be like those men, act to me like you treat them and I don't like being called master by my lover."

"Love.?" Evelyn wanted to laugh.

Just a few times a sip of Devan pressed his cigarette into the ashtray "Get in, it's cold.!" The speech was full of commands, seen from Devan who took a cigarette in Evelyn's hand and turned it off. Devan did not want to change the atmosphere that had begun to melt to freeze again, and do not let Evelyn increasingly make the separation wall thicker.

Devan hugged Evelyn's shoulder and led her back into the room.

"My cigarette's not over yet.." Evelyn complains, but Evelyn just wants to avoid Devan from sleeping together.

If they made love just to fulfill their responsibilities, but to sleep all night in Devan's arms scared him.

Afraid of getting used to the warm embrace and getting more comfortable until Evelyn finally heavy to go because of her feelings.

True indeed Devan's estimate, Evelyn was afraid.

But it is not natural that Evelyn is afraid, afraid of falling again into the same hole, where there is a wound.

Devan led Evelyn to the bed, made sure Evelyn lay down and covered her.

"Sleep" Devan kissed Evelyn on the forehead and sat on the edge of the bed.

"What are you doing, you don't want to sleep?"

"Waiting for you to sleep, after you've gone to sleep I'll sleep."

"It's night, just sleep.why wait for me.." Evelyn said more like a mutter but was still heard by Devan.

Devan chuckles "Okay.." Devan walked to the side and laid his body, until now Evelyn was lying down towards him.

Devan smiled and stroked Evelyn's cheek.

"You want me again.."

"Do I have to say that to keep you sleeping with me."

"No, it's just that I don't have to be ready whenever you want."

Devan sighed "You know I always wanted you, so I tied you up, but I couldn't possibly make you feel pain with your swollen property."

Evelyn laughed.it's true they even did it a few times until tired of hers even felt swollen "Alright then I'll sleep well."

"Hmmm sleep.!"

Evelyn closed her eyes, though her heart was pounding hard trying to be ordinary in front of the man we hated was very difficult, but Evelyn tried to stay calm and keep it tight, he said, I don't know what time two years will go by.

Evelyn was sitting in the dining chair, and this time she was not alone, in front of her Devan was putting on a napkin and ready to eat.

Seeing what Devan is doing now turns out that the man has changed a lot, if they used to eat together in Devan's apartment, they just eat as usual without needing to look elegant or polite.

But in front of her now Devan didn't even seem to be letting the food melt into the corners of her lips so gracefully, and the one Evelyn saw Devan's appearance was also growing older.

"Do you not like the food?" seeing Evelyn who was just silent made Devan think that the menu in front of him was not her favorite. Evelyn raised her eyebrows, then shook her head and began to feed her food.

According to him, the way he ate was polite as usual, he had also eaten at a luxury restaurant even though only in the tenant's treat, but Devan still looked at him and said "I'll ask someone to teach you table manner." Devan rubbed the corner of Evelyn's lips with his finger, Evelyn had only bribed her food several times not realizing there was sauce there. "Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike the way you eat, but don't show it in front of other people, otherwise they'll do what I do." Devan put his finger in his mouth and killed him.

Evelyn was stunned to see Devan's lips grinning. "For what? nor will I attend a banquet that requires a table manner.."

"Who said?" Evelyn frowned "One day you will need it, and after all I told you, don't eat like this in front of other people, you know you look adorable"

Evelyn snorted in disbelief at Devan's words "The one who sees your way of eating like now won't believe it, if you've just spoken sweetly to me."

Devan chuckles "I did it to you, baby."

Evelyn sighed every time she heard Devan's words she seemed to be going back in time, where the man treated her very sweetly and gently.

Then suddenly it came to her mind what Devan did was a trick to ensnare her, then the man did the same now that Evelyn could no longer afford to leave.

Evelyn laughed inwardly, and no matter how she felt, Evelyn would leave.

Even though Evelyn lost in her feelings she wanted to keep going.

The point is like whatever Devan tries it will be free.

For Evelyn this was all too mortal.

But Evelyn had no idea if it wouldn't be that easy she went, because this time Devan really tied her up very tight.

"May I go the way.."

"Hmm sure, I'll drive you wherever you want.."
