Because, I Love You
#BILYS3 231

Looks like Maria deliberately wanted to linger alone with Joe in front of me. We've been driving around quite contentedly to some places, until I'm hungry and thirsty. Mary was so intentional, as if to let me go hungry and thirsty.

"Joe, I'm thirsty."

"Geez, you must have been exhausted since. Forgive Mary who was a little spoiled,"

"Hem, it's okay. Let's stop by for a drink,"

Joe nodded according to the request of the Rainbow.

"Joe, I'm hungry too." Maria said after seeing Joe who was so attentive with the Rainbow.

"Hm.. We're also gonna go for a bite to eat, we're gonna stop by the restaurant for a second."

Moments later Joe parked the car at the intersection of the trip. We stopped at a restaurant to quench our thirst and hunger.

"Come, baby." Call Joe to grab Rainbow's hand.

"Joe!!!" Call Mary back with a word.

"What else?" Joe replied in a lazy tone.

"Wait for me, you leave me behind. While you're letting the Rainbow in front with you, I'm afraid. Although I have been in Indonesia before, but since then many eyes are staring at me. They suck!"

"Well.. That's because your appearance is so open. This is Indonesia Maria, don't be confused with LN there." Joe took a deep breath and looked in annoyance at Maria. Because all day he was quite tired to take him to various places as he wanted.

Maria was slightly startled to hear Joe's slightly tall words reprimanding her. He let out a peck of annoyance and stared at the Rainbow sharply.

"If so, come on.. You walk ahead, me and Joe will watch you from behind." Rainbow replied with a long sigh, both eyes were turned upwards as if showing his frustration.

Maria has been so spoiled ever since, always trying to steal Joe's attention. Although Joe always ignored her, Maria did not give up in the slightest. Then Mary walked ahead of Joe and the Rainbow.

"Have you ever lived in Indonesia?" Whisper Rainbow slowly.

"Hmmm.. He said so, when SMP first. But I don't know, we're pretty familiar and close. But I've never been interested in his personal story." Reply Joe with a whisper in the Rainbow's ear. He was afraid to be heard by Mary if she was talking about it secretly.

"Curtain, you're lying. From the beginning he came you were quiet when he grabbed you, huh. You guys, smart pretending."

"Gosh, I just thought of him as a friend. That's why I'm used to his effective attitude in LN first,"

Joe again explained about his intimate relationship with Maria, he whispered softly. The rainbow threw his face around the restaurant room, in his heart annoyed but still trying to look ordinary.

"Repeat..." Call Joe back, with a very soft voice in Rainbow's ear.

"Hm." Answer it briefly and then look.

The cup!!!

Joe kissed Rainbow's right cheek briefly, making Rainbow blush embarrassed with his face yany now suddenly pink. Luckily no one realized even though the restaurant visitors were quite crowded.

"Joe, we..."

Maria stopped her words when she saw Joe and Rainbow looking embarrassed at each other with a small joke, stirring their eyebrows together.

"Joe!!!" Shouting Maria. Some visitors looked at him in wonder.

"Marmar. Can you please keep your voice down?"

"So what??? Marmar??? Is that Marmar, Joe?"

Maria grew increasingly upset to hear the Rainbow say so and threw a question at Joe. Then Joe puzzledly looked at Rainbow's face with a frown.

"Yes.. Your name is Maria, right? That name is too difficult for me to say, so I call my name easier. Mar-mar, good, right?"

"Yaaaaarght... Stupid girl's. My name is Maria, not Marmar as you said. You can also call me Mery, pliss."

"Pffts... Hahaha, Langi. You are ridiculous, hahaha. Mar-mar, I love that call." Joe laughed after seeing Maria so hysterical after hearing Rainbow pranking Maria.

"Joe. Are you crazy???"

"Ups. Sory!" Joe stopped his laughter.

"Well, I'm so thirsty and hungry. Come, Joe. We sit on... Um, just there." Take Rainbow who then points at an empty table in front of it.

"All right, come on." Joe answered according to.

Now they sit together at a table. Joe with the Rainbow sat side by side, while Maria sat opposite to them as if in their midst.

Then Joe ordered some drinks and snacks to accompany them to sit back. A few moments later came a waiter carrying their order.

"Hmmm.. Yeah, that's all I remember anyway. Don't protest and take it again, drink and eat immediately." Joe answered coldly.

The rainbow only smiled faintly at Maria who was so amazed, going to the dish that Joe ordered earlier without asking first but Joe had already ordered it. And that's according to Maria's taste. In the rainbow bathin asked, does he currently have the right to be jealous of a small thing like this?

"Repeat..."

"Yes?"

"Let's drink, I've ordered your favorite juice. What are you daydreaming about?" Joe frowned, trying to swallow something after he saw his girlfriend was pensive.

"Oh, uh.. Thanks, Joe." Answer Rainbow stuttering.

Silent, they did not do the conversation to start the conversation. Maria was engrossed in her dishes, while Joe kept staring at the Rainbow's face. Making Rainbow misbehaved and occasionally throwing a sharp gaze to glare at Joe who is relentless looking at the face of the Rainbow.

Then the table they now made where to enjoy all the dishes, shifted by someone who almost fell and collapsed on the dish on it. Sumput Pelangi and Joe followed by Maria stood glued because they were shocked. The clothes that Maria was wearing so dirty were stained by some of the food she was tasting since.

"Geez, sory sory.. Excuse me. I'm sorry I accidentally fell over and nudged your desk,"

"Sduuuh, my clothes.. My clothes are dirty, it's disgusting." Maria started to grumble and grumble.

"Mery, you.. You're Mery, right?"

"Geez, my God, is a bad girl here too? Woahs.. You guys."

The rainbow began to get emotional when he saw that the person who hit the dining table at this time was Exelle and her two friends.

"Why do you always bring bad luck every time you meet, huh?" Answer the Rainbow in a resentful tone.

"Hem.. Maybe we're fooling."

"Hey, you. Keep talking!" Joe pointed at her by clenching his hand to Exelle's face.

"Wait, you.. You're Ex, aren't you? Yeah, you're Ex at SMP XXX."

"Haha, Mery. I thought it was just my hallucination, it was really you."

Maria approached Exelle and hugged her. As well as Exelle who hugged him, they look so familiar like a pair of lovers.

"Hahaha, you still haven't changed."

"You, much better looking." Maria praised Exelle.

"Maria, you.. I know this asshole." Joe asked in confusion.

"Yes, he was a friend of mine when Junior High was in Indonesia. We were so close that we were supposed to be dating."

"You guys are a good fit, crazy together." Rainbow grumbled.

"Don't be friends with him, I don't like him." Joe confirmed his talk to Maria.

"Well, are you her boyfriend?"

"So your mouth, are you asking me to duel again?"

"Then what's your problem?"

The rainbow only fell silent seeing their debate return. But this time not because of her, but Joe looks angry knowing Exelle is a close friend of Maria when on the bench first Junior High. Wh why? Is he jealous?

"Hey, you fierce girl. You said she was your girlfriend? Look, is he really your girlfriend?"

"Shut up!!! You're crazier and more annoying."

"Come on, don't be. But take it easy, I'm here. I'll protect you,"

"Exelle, how do you know them? You're one school?"

"No, but it looks like I'll be a part of them."

"Crazy!!!"

"You..."

Joe pushed Exelle's body up a little staggered and took a step back. Exelle's two friends began to spry to beat Joe who started first in action vent his anger.

"Stop. Don't embarrass me in front of my future boyfriend, "Exelle answered looking at Rainbow with a naughty smile.
