Casanova Bed Warmers
I'm Coming to Pick Up My Beloved

A week passed, but Laura was unceasingly made up by Bryan's attitude that seemed to break his perception of the man. For the past week, Bryan's always been acting like he really wanted to fight for Laura. The man seemed to want Laura to know if what he said on the phone at that time was not the boast of people who were under the influence of alcohol alone.

No exception today, early in the morning when Laura had just arrived at the Secret Garden, she saw Bryan was already in the Secret Garden and seemed to be chatting with Lola. Laura who was delivered that morning by Felix had intended to undo his intention to get out of the car.

“Laura, is there anything bothering you? Why are you quiet?” felix asked confused because they had reached the Secret Garden from five minutes ago but Laura just remained silent while staring out the car window.

Laura flinched from her daydream, then turned her head towards Felix. “Ah, no Felix.” The girl removed her seat belt. “I just had a little dizzy. But, now that I'm okay, ‘kok.”

“You sure you're okay?”

Laura nodded. “I'm fine. I do have anemia so sometimes like to suddenly get dizzy,” replied Laura origin.

“Good. But, if there's anything you have to call me straight away,” Felix said firmly.

The girl chuckled little. “I'll definitely call you, Felix. Yeah, I'm down first. Thank you for driving me to work.”

Felix nodded. Laura got out of the car. The girl waited for Felix to actually leave from there before he stepped foot into the Secret Garden.

“Laura,” call Bryan, but not heeded by Laura.

“Good morning, Lola.” Not answering Bryan's greeting, the girl actually greeted Lola.

“Laura, I greeted you but why did you say hello to Lola?” bryan protest, again ignored by Laura.

“Good morning, Laura,” reply Lola. “I don't know what happened between you. But, I really didn't want to get involved,” he said then ran in leaving Laura and Bryan.

Laura sighed, then turned to look at Bryan. To be honest, Laura really misses Bryan. But, no. The girl doesn't want to get entangled in Bryan's ruse anymore. He didn't want to feel the loss of someone who never even belonged to him.

“What more do you want, Bryan? Aren't you tired of all that pretence?” laura asked as she folded her hands in front of her chest.

Bryan frowned. “What pretense do you mean, Laura? I seriously want to start a relationship again with you,” Bryan replied. The man did not understand why Laura was so stubborn and did not want to believe him in the slightest. Laura wanted them to have a serious relationship.

“I don't want your booze just because you want to take me to bed, Bryan. I'm sick of all that. I don't want you to touch me again if you don't want anything serious about our relationship,” Laura jolted firmly. That girl doesn't want to be a doll in Bryan's crazy game anymore.

“Laura, why do you still not want to believe me? I'm serious about you. I love you, Laura. You are the first girl who has made me fall in love,” Bryan said, expressing his heart.

Laura closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them while saying, “When trust has been broken, you must really convince me so that I can trust you again.”

After saying this, Laura stepped out to leave Bryan who was still pensive and thought about Laura's words.

“It's over soon,” Laura said without turning her head. The girl was still busy with putting the flowers into the storage cabinet.

“Quickly a little. Dario and Felix are already waiting in front,” Reyna said.

“Yes, patience. Soon I will be done,” Laura said. “You just wait outside. Five minutes I'll catch up.”

In accordance with what he said, it was not until five minutes Laura had caught up with Reyna in the future. And it's true that Dario and Felix seem to have been waiting. Tonight, they have an appointment for dinner together because Laura just got a bonus from Lola and intends to treat her friends.

“Hai, everyone. Sorry, I kept you waiting a long time,” Laura said.

“No problem. Come on, we're leaving now,” reply Reyna.

After Reyna said that, Felix and Dario both extended their hands to hold Laura. Reyna who saw this then shook her head and took the initiative to hold Laura's hand so that Laura did not need to choose between Felix or Dario.

They go to the restaurant using one car only so as not to meet the streets of Barcelona which tend to be jammed in the afternoon. Felix and Dario sat in the front seat while Reyna and Laura sat in the back seat.

Reyna rolled her eyeballs the umpteenth time she found Felix and Dario staring at Laura through the rearview mirror. While Laura who was not aware of it was busy chattering and talking about the film that she had watched yesterday on a movie viewing platform.

Arriving at the restaurant, Reyna felt as if she was a mosquito repellent. Because from earlier, Dario and Felix seemed to be fighting for Laura's attention. While he was, not really noticed. But, Reyna did not feel upset in the slightest because she knew that she was a man who put feelings for Laura.

“Tadi, there is a very annoying customer in Secret Garden. He could have asked me to decide everything and when asked he only answered potluck,” complained Reyna.

“But, the man is handsome, ‘kan?” tease Laura while raising her eyebrows. He knew his friend was telling their customer because he was fascinated.

“He, Laura. Want as handsome as any man, if it has a cold nature, anyway, will not fascinate me,” kilah Reyna.

Reyna's words made her friends laugh crisply. Throughout the dinner, they also spend time chatting and talking about their respective activities. Their conversation ended exciting, to make someone who was also eating at the restaurant feel hot.

“Laura,” call someone, making Laura and her friends turn towards the source of the sound.

They were shocked when they saw Bryan already standing behind Laura's chair. Laura suddenly stood up while frowning her forehead.

“Bryan?” asked Laura in disbelief. He was very confused as to why the man had suddenly been there.

“Hai, Bryan. Would you like to join us?” tawar Reyna, trying to break the awkward atmosphere that enveloped the table.

“I came here to pick up my girlfriend,” said Bryan, then pulled Laura along with him.
