Because, I Love You
#BILYS3 281

The atmosphere began to be noisy by the voices of Lucas, Lisa, and Jeni who took turns singing a song. Joe silently glanced at the Rainbow, his heart quivering, his heart stalled to beat staring at his face. They sit across. The rainbow deliberately took a sitting position far away from him.

"Langi, would you like to try a duet with me?" Take Joe to the Rainbow.

"Eh? Me? Haha. No, you're the one who sings. I can't." He refused the rainbow.

"Aah, comeon. I know you like to sing too."

"Yes, come on, Princess cold. You should sing too, we'll hear it. Come on dong," Take the others in turns to force the rainbow to sing.

The rainbow threw a sharp glare at them, so they smiled grinningly and no longer dared to force.

"Huh, okay. I'm the only one who's gonna represent the rainbow having fun and singing." Joe answered loudly and then winked mischievous eyes at the Rainbow.

"Basic!!!" The short rainbow.

Then Joe sang a few more romantics that seemed intentional to be presented to the Rainbow. Sometimes Joe duets with Lisa and Lucas alternately, while Rainbow has no reaction whatsoever. He focused on playing with his phone, sometimes giggling smiles and sometimes just shaking his head.

Joe gets upset when he sees Rainbow focusing on his phone. Joe's gaze, which was so upset even when he was duetting with Lisa, was caught by Jeni. And it seems that only Jeni noticed the motion of Joe's giggles while staring at the Rainbow.

Who, who has made the rainbow smile so cheerfully since? Is that Exelle? If it is so. I can't let my guard down a bit.

Bathin Joe is upset.

In a different place. Exelle still felt strange things, her heart kept on fidgeting, her heart continued to be filled with rainbow shadows, the memory of Joe's sudsh speech clearly threatening her. As he struggled with his cell phone, he deliberately did to continue to send short messages to Rainbow. Tell funny stories, horror stories, combats, puzzles and many other chats from unimportant to boring and silly to keep Rainbow focused on it only.

"Ex, whoa... You've been busy with cell phones ever since." Protest one of his friends.

"Eh, oh.. Haha, yes yes. Sory, you guys just go ahead. Tonight I'll buy everything, you can add any food and drink you want."

"really? Woah, that's dong. Yu hu, let's drain it out until our boss's black card explodes, Exelle." Excited some of Exelle's friends to be profocators.

Exelle just smiled. It's okay for him to spend a lot of money as long as the biss keeps monitoring the rainbow from afar. That's what's sticking out of Exelle's mind right now.

🌻🌻🌻

At the cafe where Joe and the others are celebrating their graduation day. The rainbow was still engrossed in itself, as Joe's curiosity stopped to sing as much. Then sit back in his place again by exhaling an upset breath.

The conversation started again, with a lot of silly things and joking jest. Once they throw each other sad faces, Jeni decides to continue studying in this city, as well as Lucas. Only Lisa and Rainbow have established their hearts to pursue an academic higher education in medicine at LN. Campus dreams of every prospective new student, but not all can escape officially set foot into the student in it.

"Ah, um... Yeah, course. I can't possibly leave my own rainbow there, anyway.. I have had a lot of experience with life abroad. At least you will not be easily lied to by people you just know there." Obviously Joe behaves like a team guide on a traveling journey.

"Gee... It seems you won't give up easily." Lisa teased him again.

Not yet had time to comment, just Rainbow was about to open his voice, his phone rang an incoming call. And Rainbow stared at her phone screen for a moment and then smiled as she received the call.

"Why, Ex?" Say the rainbow with a soft tone. Joe took a deep breath. Again and again, Jeni glanced at him.

"You're still at the cafe?" Exelle asked at the end of her phone.

"Ehm, yeah. Maybe we'll be home late."

"Oh yeah? Gosh darn. Is it okay? Does it have to be that long?" Joe asked in an anxious tone.

"Yes.. Yes gapapa, Ex. Why why anyway? It's just once, really. You're still a party, right?"

"i, yeah. Your health is also important. Um, what if I &¥*%-+#*¥*#?"

"What, hello ha.. Hello, Ex." The rainbow could no longer hear Exelle's voice because at the place where Exelle was holding a party at this time, one of her friends was turning on very loud music.

"Ex... Hello.." - Hello..." The rainbow repeats its speech while touching the phone's speaker selection screen.

"Wait me. Ja-ngan puu-lang terrr-then laaaarut, I. will pick you up." Exelle said in a louder voice.

Rainbow dumbfounded, he turned towards his friends until his gaze stopped at the sight of Joe who would have been very burning jealous fire. The rainbow didn't want to mess things up, so he intended to reject it.

"But Ex. I'll bring my own car, don't need you to come pick me up."

"What's wrong, I'll follow you from behind. Or maybe we can go hand in hand with each other's cars when the streets are quiet."

"Haha. Okay, I'll let you know when I get home. Thank you, "Answer answered convincingly. Then the call ended.

Joe's getting grumpy. But as hard as he could hold until sweat began to wet his body even though in the room it was so cold and cool because of the air AC.

There's something weird about Joe tonight. He's been a little weird since. But, what is it?

Only Jeni understands Joe's attitude is not the same as usual.
