Because, I Love You
#BILYS3 237

The rainbow ignored Exelle's question. In his heart he realized that during the relationship dating Joe, especially often get together with others like friends. The difference is just more friendly, Joe is always romantic regardless of circumstances wherever they are. Is that really the real relationship???

"Hi, you fierce chick. What the hell are you thinking? I'm asking."

"Isa.. You called me that again,"

"Hahaha, I'm sorry. I'd just rather call you that. To me it's a special pet call, hihi."

"Huh, it's up to you. Let's go home" replied Rainbow by rolling his eyeballs up. Exelle followed him from behind, continuing to tease him by calling him 'greedy girl'. Sometimes they joke like a close friend, but sometimes Rainbow is also rude to make a boundary between them.

JOE POV

Joe paced back and forth in his room, tightly clutching the cell phone in his hand. Occasionally he wanted to make a phone call to the rainbow, but he stopped it again. Many times he also typed a few short message words, but again he removed and undone his intention.

Tok tok...

There was a knock on the door from outside his room.

"Who?" Ask Joe with a word.

There was no answer, just the door to his room kept on gedor repeatedly. Joe was upset, so he went to open the door. After the door was opened, Joe was even more upset when he saw Maria standing with a smile.

"Well, what else?" Joe asked after sighing in annoyance.

"Joe, you haven't been out of your room since this morning. Are you mad at me?

"Yes, I'm mad at you. You're the reason my boyfriend's been mad up to this point."

"really? So you think so? You're evil, Joe. Just because of that stupid girl you're mad at me."

"Mary. Stop saying he's stupid, he's the best. I waited years to meet him again. But you screwed up, you're the one who's bad to me here."

"Hikts... Ooooooo..." Maria cried loudly in front of Joe's room so that it invited the attention of Abel who now only he who lives in the house, while both of Maria's parents went out with her husband to the office to sign a project contract.

"Oh my goodness, Maria. What's up, baby?" Abel asked, hugging Mary's body.

"Aunty, Joe scolded me just because another girl was mad at him." Maria is eager to complain all her.

"Cih, you spoiled brat. Keep on ngadu..." Joe is sounding.

"My baby boy, come on dong. Don't fight your asses in this house, Maria is only here for a moment, appreciate ah. He came all the way here You should have done good, son."

"Mommy, pliss.. Don't always defend her that way,"

Abel staggered to his huddle when Joe now dared to snap at him in a high-pitched voice, unlike usual. It indicates that Joe is really in an uncomfortable heart at this time.

"Mary, go to the room. Aunty needs to talk to Joe, hem.."

"But aunty, Maria wants a walk with Joe."

"Here you go, aunty will accompany you for a walk. We're all shopping, okay baby."

"Oh, sebel." Maria snickered, stepping away.

Abel took a deep breath looking at his son Joe. Joe begins to fear that Abel is yelling at him for the first time.

"Mi, i'am sorry. I didn't mean to yell at my mom" Joe said in a soft voice, displaying a face filled with guilt.

"Huhft.. What's the matter exactly?"

Joe turned his body around by holding his head, then walked towards the side of the bed. He just threw his body away with a slightly moody face. Abel followed her from behind and sat by her side, touching her son's shoulder.

"Not getting any better with rainbows?"

Joe nodded.

"You've tried to explain to her, who's Mary?"

"Mommy already. But, Maria... Aakh, he's really outrageous. He was so chatty and always cursing at the Rainbow."

"Hmmm.. So the rainbow is jealous?"

"I'm jealous too, I'm wrong. I was a little rough on him at the mall back then. I hate to see him with that crazy guy."

"Exelle?"

"Hah, even mommy remembers her name. Makes me sick, she always chases after mami rainbow. He dared to express his feelings in front of me."

Of course I will remember the name of the boy, because his name made me tremble. His name reminds me of Ammar and mending Eliez, but it's impossible.

"Okay my boy, you're a boy. You have to fight for your woman, don't be whiny. If you have to fight Exelle, do it. Just don't hurt yourself, honey."

"Then what should I do, mommy?"

"Explain to the Rainbow, you and Maria have nothing to do. Mary is just a friend, nothing special. Can you explain it that way?"

"But what about Maria, Mi?"

Abel. He looked back at his son's face for a moment.

"Or don't-don't... You like Maria too?"

"Oh, No. What did mama think? Maria is just a good friend of mine, I consider her like my brother. More like my sister, mami."

"Damn... You bodoooh, remember!! Maria is the same age as you, she is spoiled and easily carried away. Be careful and take care of your attitude, lest your kindness be judged wrong by him." Abel explained by pulling his son's nose.

"Oh well, mami. Sakiiit, don't always pull my nose."

"Because you're adorable."

"But, Mi.. How long will Mary stay in our house? It's been more than three days like my mom's promise."

"Sstt... Keep your voice down, and Mary and the others will hear this." Abel shuts Joe's mouth, smothers him with Abel's hand.

"It's best to be nice to Maria right now, because your daddy is working with Maria's parents."

"Huh, okay. I got it,"

"Smart kid!" Abel rubbed Joe's head and kissed him on the cheek.

"Ih, mommy. What the hell, don't like to kiss me anymore. I'm not a baby anymore, I'm uncomfortable." Joe protested by removing his cheek from his mammoth kiss just now.

"Doooh, yes. She has a boyfriend, who is an adult. Mami understands, eitz.. Honest to mom, um..."

Abel looked back at his son's eyes at this time, while Joe was on standby to listen to the ridiculous question of what else would be thrown by his mother.

"Have you managed to kiss your girlfriend, Rainbow? Hihih."

"Mommy, woah.. Really am. I can't believe you're going to ask something intimate like this" Joe replied clumsyly and misbehaved.

"Huhaha, aah.. Come on, be honest with mom. Did you manage to give one sweet kiss to the Rainbow?"

"Nope-no. We're dating healthy, mi. We're still friends, even though we're dating."

"Hmmm... Really???" Abel. Making Joe even more misbehaving, scratching his head trying to turn his face away from the glaring gaze of his mother.

"Huh, mommy. No, don't tease me anymore. Better get out, now. Hus..." Joe pushed his mom out of the room immediately.

"Heeei, wayward boy. You think the goat mami was kicked out like that, huh?" Abel rebuked with a lazy step.

"wait. Um, you better get Maria to her room. Surely she's still crying right now, calm her heart."

"Oh, another new problem." Joe answered with a heavy sigh.

Then Joe complied to go to the guest room reserved for Mary from the beginning of her arrival.

Joe knocked on the door of the room where Maria was crying right now. Repeatedly on tap not yet in the door of the room, Joe tried to open it himself through the doorknob. And sure enough, the door wasn't locked. Joe entered the room when he saw Mary crying on the bed resting on her hands.

"Your bad habits always never lock the door, this is not your home. What if someone else or some bad person enters the room and bothers you?"

"The wicked man has entered the room at this time" replied Maria.

"Yes, yeah. I'm sorry, don't cry anymore." Joe seduced her. Standing by the side of the bed threw a smile at Maria.

"I don't want to forgive you."

"Hemm, really? Yeah, I'm out of the room then." Joe was about to leave. Maria quickly got up from her position, then pulled Joe's hand.

"I forgive you." Speak it quickly.

"Hehe, it should be. Never again, don't cry. You crybaby,"

"Joe, do you really like that girl?"

"Who? A rainbow?"

"I don't want to remember his name."

"Huh, you're really weird. What kind of question it is, of course I like it a lot, not just that. I love her so much, too, Maria."

Hearing this, Mary let go of her embrace in Joe's arm.

"I don't like him, he's so cold and annoying. He also easily befriends other men, even more so with Exelle. You know, Ex was a dream guy and also a playboy when we were in Junior High. A lot of girls are after her, and she's easily willing to accept her as a boyfriend."

Joe clenched his hands together, again he ignited the flames of jealousy. After hearing Maria explain how Exelle was.

"How is it different from you? You're good friends with her, you're very familiar and you even hugged her when you first met at the restaurant."

"Well, are you Jealous seeing me hug her?" Now that Maria is trying to tease him with Joe's chin, Joe brushes her off.

"Curtain, dream. Who's jealous, I'm just upset. You don't want you to be his victim, he's a real jerk and a cocky guy." Joe replied cursing by turning his gaze away from Maria who was looking at him with a smile.

"Hmmm... Gawd... You're not jealous of me seeing a handsome guy like Ex?"

"Huh, handsome? Tell me honestly. Is he really more handsome than me?"

"Of course he's the more handsome and adorable, his cute face, which girl wouldn't be interested. As for you, hahaha you mustach. You're a little old-looking, hahaha." Mary answered him, though it was not the answer of his heart.

"What's? You said I was old? Watch out..." Joe ran after Maria in his room. They chase around the room until it falls apart, Maria continues to say if Joe is older because of his mustache.

Joe stopped his steps to chase after Maria, his breathing was a little dull. This time he was really upset because he felt that if he was really older, he thought it might be best to shave his thin mustache. To look more attractive in front of the Rainbow, although that is not one of the reasons.

Maria furrowed both of her eyebrows, seeing Joe turning sullen due to Maria's teasing. Then Mary approached him slowly, approaching him to get closer to the position of Joe standing at the side of the bed at this time.

"Joe, I'm sorry. I'm just kidding,"

Joe was silent with a sigh of annoyance, throwing out the face of Mary standing before him at this moment.

"Joe..."

The cup!!!

Mary kissed Joe's lips briefly as she pulled Joe's face to face him. Suddenly Joe was surprised with both eyes glaring to make him retreat one step further.

"Mary, you..."

"To me you're still better-looking than anyone, Joe."

"I don't care how you judge me. But what you did just now, I really regret it. What she's doing is too much for Maria." Joe started talking with high-pitched intonation again.

"What's wrong? I just kissed your lips, didn't I? Why why?"

"Mary, you're a woman. Do not carelessly kiss a man who is not your boyfriend, even more so you know I already have a girlfriend at this time. Should I repeat my words if I already have a boyfriend?"

"I don't care, Joe. To me you're still my best friend, you're my friend."

"Mary, come on. This is Indonesia, don't you equate it with life out there. A kiss means so deep in this country, do you know that?"

"Then what does the kiss I gave you mean?" Maria asked with a cynical smile.

"I.. I'll forget it, I assume you didn't do it to me." Joe stepped back to get out of Maria's room.

"Joe, wait!!!"

"What else huh?" Joe answered with a word.

"I'm sorry, don't be angry. We used to live and live together in LN, you and I were often in one room. Hugs and kisses often, right? Then why are you worrying this time, Joe?"

Joe took a deep breath back. Looking at Maria who now looks upset and astonished.

"That was, Maria. Before I finally choose to live in Indonesia and now that I have a boyfriend, I have to keep the feeling right now." Joe explained it in a soft voice.

"Does that girl know right now that I kissed you just now? No, right?"

"Mary, you don't yet understand the true meaning of courtship. Even if he doesn't see it, but I still have to maintain the sanctity of our relationship. That's what true love means, Mary."

"Haaah, okay, Joe. I'm sorry, but... Can we just stay as ordinary friends as we used to be in LN, Joe?"

"I've always considered you my best friend, Maria. You're good, you were always there for me back in LN. You're the one who's always been loyal to accompany me wherever I go when I feel saturated."

"If so, let's just say that kiss was a sign of our friendship as usual."

"alright. This time, just,"

With a heavy heart Maria nodded, though she did not promise not to do it again.
