"Aiden will take me home. So you're okay with going home alone?"
"Oh yeah, it's okay. I can find a cab."
"No-no! Nay! You better get between Frans's house!" Aiden doesn't agree there. In the lyrics of his friend who now stands next to Aphrodite. "French! Get him home!"
"A-ah, no need! I can go home by myself," Aphrodite quickly refused.
"No, it's late and it's dangerous if you go home alone at night. You're a girl, so you better go home with her."
"No need ak—hmmph"
"I'll take him home. So you take it easy, you better go home first," cut Francisco as he smothered Aphrodite's mouth.
"good. Then we go first."
"Then please take care of my best friend, take her home safely and make sure she's okay to get home" Jenia said.
"Yes" said Francisco quickly.
"Then I'll see you."
"Yes. See you soon!" Fransisco cried out to Aiden and Jenia who were now starting to step away from where he was today, leaving Aphrodite and Francisco both there.
After Jenia and Aiden left, Francisco then released Aphrodite there and stood firmly as before.
"Sorry for that, I just don't want to make this any longer. I was really tired and wanted to go home soon" Francisco said as soon as he removed his hands from Aphrodite's mouth.
"A-ah, yeah, it's okay."
"Want me to drive you home, by the way?"
"Oh, there's no need. Let me go home alone."
"You sure? It's gonna be hard to find a cab tonight like this."
"Yes, I'm sure. You go home first, I can order a cab online."
"Alright then, I won't force you to come home with me. But I need you to be careful, and don't forget to let me know if anything happens to you."
"You just calm down. I can take care of myself."
"Then I go home first."
"Yes." Yeah."
Francisco moved from there, about to leave. But his footsteps stopped when he remembered that there was something he forgot.
"Oh, I forgot," he said, turning to Aphrodite.
Aphrodite looked at him with a puzzled look. The man took off the suit he was wearing and then put it on Aphrodite's body.
"It's cold out here" he said.
"But-But..how about—"
"I'm coming home now. Watch yourself!" Cut quick. Francisco left there, leaving Aphrodite alone, now glued to her place. His eyes stared at the direction where the man had disappeared behind the door of his parked car not far from where the cinema was.
...*...
Slowly the taxi car on the other side stopped right in front of the gate of his house which is now open a little.
Aphrodite stepped out of the taxi after paying the driver a few hundred thousand in cash.
He approached the gate there. Stepping in then do not forget to lock the gate so that no one enters his house.
"Today is really tiring," Aphrodite massaged her shoulder gently in turn. Achy feeling so attached to his body, plus a feeling of fatigue and weakness, writhing in his body.
Aphrodite entered his home. Arriving inside there, a desolate state welcomed her the first time. It seemed that Helen and Erland had been sleeping since, but they had deliberately not locked the door so that Aphrodite would be easy to enter.
Aphrodite closed the door slowly and locked it tightly before stepping into her bedroom there.
BLAM!
At the close of the door of the room origin made his voice sound quite loud breaking the silence that enveloped his house.
Arriving in the room, Aphrodite immediately approached her dressing table there. Put the bag he was carrying then lay his body on his bed there.
"So it was really something I never expected before. Meet up with Francisco? I never even thought that we would meet in such a situation" Aphrodite said. His eyes looked far away at the ceiling of his room which was now only illuminated by the light of the lamp that had just been lit by him once he got there.
"But looking at his attitude earlier, it seemed that he had completely changed," Aphrodite smiled faintly as she kept thinking about Francisco's changing attitude towards him. The man had become a little more understanding compared to before, and he looked calmer as well.
"Even if he changes, I prefer him now" he continued.
Shortly after lying a few minutes on his bed, Aphrodite decided to leave.
He had to take a bath and clean his body which was currently so sticky with sweat soaking up his body.
...*...
Days change days, hours change hours, and minutes change minutes. After his unexpected encounter that night with Francisco, Aphrodite finally never again met him. She was living her life as usual, and Jenia, oh the woman is now officially dating Aiden who is a friend of Francisco itself.
Now every time I come home from work, Aphrodite always comes home alone without Jenia. Aiden always picks him up at the office and that's what makes him and Jenia rarely go home together like they used to.
"Huft~" Aphrodite sighed harshly. He then leaned his back on the back of the chair that was being sat by him.
"Truly tiring," he murmured softly. He is currently in the office, busy with a pile of new work that he must complete before three in the afternoon.
TUKS!
Jenia put a glass of ice choco on her desk and Aphrodite turned to Jenia, who had apparently just returned from the restaurant after eating her lunch with Aiden. The man suddenly told me he was in the lobby of his office.
"I brought this to encourage you!" He said as he walked up to the chair beside him.
"Thank you," Aphrodite smiled wryly. Fixing her sitting position and drinking ice choco that Jenia had just given her. "By the way is Aiden back in his office?"
"Yes. Already, as soon as he finished lunch he immediately drove me to the lobby after that saying goodbye to go back to the office" Jenia said without turning her head. The focus of his eyes was now staring at some of the files that were in his hands.
"Oh so yeah."
"Yes. Uh what about your job?" Jenia turned to look at him.
"There's still a lot, and I have to finish everything before three. I don't want to be late!"
