Alan arrived in front of the Italian restaurant where Tatius was working in twenty minutes—ten minutes longer than he expected as he had to take a detour when he learned that his usual route was under construction and was stuck in traffic for ten minutes. Not wanting his boyfriend to find out that he had just had a lot of bad luck before arriving in front of the restaurant, he tidied up his appearance on the rear-view mirror of his car, then smiled with satisfaction at his reflection in the rear-view mirror of his car.
Perfect.Whistling to raise the mood that had been lost earlier, he walked out of his car, then stood leaning against the side of the car. Sometimes, he flirted with a few passers-by who caught his eye, winking one eye. His charm succeeded in making everyone he flirted earlier shrieked with delight with their blushing fiercely. He whistled again, then stood up straight right away when he knew that his boyfriend was standing in front oHe shook his head while laughing softly when he saw Tatius running happily as soon as they arrived at Ngurah Rai Airport—one of the always busy international airports in Indonesia—while turning like a happy barking dog. His two hands pushed two large suitcases, following the speed of Tatius, who was already a little away from him. The man's eyes lit up."Where are we staying?" Tatius turned back to him, impatient for his answer. Actually, he wanted to tell his boyfriend the photo of the villa they were going to stay in for this week, but he postponed it as he wanted to give it as a surprise. Surely apart from the box containing the ring that was still tucked away in the pocket of his black trousers since they departed from Rose city.Seeing Tatius' enthusiasm made him a little relieved. His worries the day before yesterday did not happen. Tatius was fine. His boyfriend was just exhausted after he insisted on forcing his boyfriend to visit the doctor to check his
From Sunday morning until night, Keith spent his time watching random movies on the cable TV channel with Marie, and Larch, who was watching on his lap. They did not do other activities apart from that. Occasionally he rose from his chair to make new snacks when they were hungry and returned to his seat. Several times, he tried so hard to pretend not to notice Marie's gaze, who was not on their TV screen, but him. It was a look that made him a little uncomfortable about it. For reasons he did not understand, he found himself not bothering at all about Marie's strange look. And for the same reason, his heart pounded every time he noticed Marie's gaze.He did not understand at all the change in Marie's attitude since the day before yesterday, which had turned one hundred and eighty degrees. Suddenly it turned soft, not as stiff as usual. Taking the initiative to make breakfast that ends in a ruined kitchen (reminds her of her mother first, only so much better), then offers t
The morning sun in the Canggu area creates a strange new spirit that lured Alan out for some exercise this morning with a morning jog around the area of the villa they currently occupy. Things that had never crossed his mind before, because usually, he would spend two hours working out in a private gym during the day, on the sidelines of his busy life. Maybe because of the influence of the weather, which was more humid than the weather in Rose city, which tends to be dry, made his move to be in high spirit than usual. Tatius himself seemed to be still asleep in the room, even though the clock on his smartwatch was already seven in the morning as he has not received a call from Tatius. Usually, the man would call him if he suddenly left without the man's knowledge, asking him to tell him where his position was. Indeed, Tatius' possessiveness always looked so cute in his eyes.His eyebrows rose one side when he saw the arrival of Robert, who was standing in front of the fe
Thirty minutes later, he was already in the Gajah Mada area, staying at a local coffee shop near a row of textile shops that was already filling up with visitors from both local and foreign tourists. Tatius and Robert at the Kumbasari market, leaving him uninterested in shopping. For the business of souvenirs, he entrusted completely to Tatius. While sipping the second coffee he had just ordered, he stared at Gajah Mada street, which was getting busy with various vehicles. The new thing for him was when he saw a motorcyclist carrying three passengers casually as if it was normal. Then followed by the sound of a horn from an impatient vehicle when a car stopped for a moment because it was blocked by a randomly overtaking motorbike.What a busy morning, huh?Again he sipped the black coffee he ordered earlier, which
Keith ended the call with Alan with a deep sigh. In fact, he had told him many times to take a two-week vacation, but his best friend kept insisting that a week was more than enough for him. Considering that his best friend was a workaholic type person, he should not be surprised to hear Alan's refusal.It was just that he was worried. Because of his job, this man rarely spends time with his boyfriend, Tatius. Especially from their conversation on the phone earlier, he was sure there was something wrong with Tatius that made his friend consider his offer some time ago to recruit Tatius as a cafe employee. Maybe he should also use his power as Alan's boss to give them more time off once they get back from Bali.His mind twisted the memories when they were in high school. Alan, people could say, was the type of popular bad boy who always sought after by all the students in his school. His best friend always changing
Keith almost jumped in surprise when he realized that Marie was standing behind him, smiling confidently, as she stopped him from escaping. He turned around, looked at Marie with blinking eyes."Err, that ...," he realized the gazes of all the customers—mostly women—who were now waiting for an answer from him. "I ..."For a moment, he threw a sharp gaze at Aura, who was now whistling to avoid his gaze, serving customers who had just entered their cafe. Marie smirked at his reaction. Without waiting long, the woman immediately kissed his left cheek."It's taking too long to get your answer, so let me take care of it," Marie grinned and held his hand tightly, then led him out of the cafe, pulling him up in front of a Volkswagen car, which was parked neatly on the curb in front of the cafe, before the women managed to catch him. His hand was still on the cheek that the woman had kissed earlier, feeling a warm tinge that must have now created a blush on his
Aura changed the sign in the cafe where she worked to 'CLOSED' she got rid of their customers—more precisely, asking the last customer to leave their cafe immediately, Natalie Chandelier—a young woman who has had her eye on Keith since his return to Rose city on his return from Italy. Since they were in high school, the three of them have been popular and have always been the centre of attention. She and Alan become a badass couple, who always break the rules they did not like before Alan turns completely into the type of guy who devotes himself to love Tatius after nearly costing his boyfriend's life because of his own stupidity. Meanwhile, Keith, who had a cute face that hid his true strength, always manages to cultivate the instinct of people—who did not really know the man—to protect him if they did not know his true background family.Not many people believe every time they had to explained to people that Keith was not their subordinate, but the leader of their
The handkerchief that she got from a mysterious woman that helped her before was now covered with blood from the cut she received while protecting her bag from the snatchers, but it did not prevent Patricia from giving a happy squeal. She sat in a chair a little way from the window, not daring to see what the woman was doing outside. Her body still felt limp from her fear, so all she could do was lean back against the chair while looking around this cafe.Honestly, this was the first time she had passed through this area. Not without reason, she walked with no direction to bring her to this area in Rose city that she had never walked through it before. It was her heartbreak that led her down to this route, not knowing that this area had a high enough crime rate. She could tell for sure based on her own experience when she walked casually while looking at the screen of her smartphone, and suddenly two men appeared beside her, immediately grabbed her bag just like that.
