EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 240's

...

He laughed, looking pleased with my reaction, his hands rubbing against my back. “It should be today your mood is better compared to other days, but there are unexpected things.”

I know what this guy means is taking me for a walk so that his work departure tomorrow doesn't make me sad, but the arrival of my father and mother makes everything messy.

When my hands were still tightly hugging her neck, inhaling her scent, Bayu slightly pushed my waist to release our embrace.

Still sitting on her lap, her hands raised touching my neck and cheeks, her eyes soft but calculating. Then her soft lips pressed her lips against mine which instantly forgot all my worries and concentrated on remembering to breathe in and take them out.

My heart started to overreact suddenly my lips were******my lips were more ferocious, her hands crept into my hair and clenched my face tightly. Even though my hand had also slipped into her hair, I was washed away in her kiss, a little too enthusiastic in fact. I could feel her lips flex upwards as she let go of her face and released my hand which was now clutching her nape tightly.

“Sorry.” His whisper with a little breath hunting.

I chuckled softly feeling guilty for not stopping it, my face flushed red and I also saw her ears turning red. Then both of my hands raised cupped his face while giving a brief kiss on his lips.

“Do not be naughty.” I said.

Bayu. “You also don't be naughty. Remember, even though I'm off duty but I keep an eye on you”

I slightly turned my face away from her with a look of wonder. Did he put spies around me?

“Of course from Dika, Lucy and Zac. If necessary from Alisya.” He said it as if reading my mind.

“I will ask for a periodic report from them about your activities.”

“In that case, I also ask for a periodic report about your activities.” I look at him seriously.

“I will try, but if not in the headquarters may be a bit difficult.” The answer seemed to think for a moment.

“Alright, but don't break from me.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Actually I feel a bit tired and want to sleep but I desperately fight it, I don't want to lose a single second with him. Every now and then as we chatted about various things tonight, Bayu suddenly hugged me tightly or kissed me, his smooth glass lips sweeping my hair, forehead, cheeks as well as the tip of my nose. Each time it happened as if a stream of electricity was stinging my long-sleeping heart. The sound filled the entire room.

I completely lost my orientation when Bayu's arm hugged me tighter when time went off at half eleven p.m. I dragged in his arms and this man decided to turn off the TV, pick me up and take us to the room.

After putting me on the bed, she came up and got into the blanket with me, we both checked the phone for a bit and put it on the nightstand afterwards. I yawned unintentionally and Bayu instantly turned off the room light switch on the nightstand.

She shifted closer to me and I immediately hugged her tightly under the blanket, pressed the side of my face against her chest, her heartbeat instantly calming me to the worries of tomorrow.

Bayu seemed to understand my feelings, he kissed my forehead for a long time before burying his nose in the top of my hair. After that his long breath sounded relieved.

I unconsciously chuckled with my eyes closed.

“What?” Ask her.

I looked up while shaking my head, though vaguely but his face still displayed a stark confused expression.

“Goodnight.” My whisper.

In the end tonight we were laughing in the dim lighting of the room, we were hanging out under thick blankets.

The clock showed six o'clock past five minutes in the morning when I had finished dressing up and was preparing breakfast for us, there were only eggs and bread in addition to warm cereal milk for him and warm tea for me.

My eyes once glanced at Bayu who was busy with his phone since he came out of the bathroom in the front room. There seems to be an unexpected situation.

Seeing his right hand busy on the phone and his left hand busy drying hair with a towel makes me anxious to see it.

Dika and Lucy came to deliver Bayu's equipment thirty minutes ago and they said they would have breakfast outside, even though I offered them breakfast together but saw their expressions, they both don't want to bother us.

Then I stepped closer to Bayu when he finished talking on the phone and now he's messing around with his phone. My hand touched her hand and managed to distract her from me.

Without speaking I pulled her towards the room, sitting her in front of the dresser. She looked puzzled but when I grabbed the little towel she had been using since to dry her hair, Bayu gave a small smile and let me take care of it.

“It looks like there is an emergency situation.” I said.

“Yeah, there was a change of plans on Sam's troops but I couldn't help him today because I had to get back to work. In addition, the headquarters told me that there are other tasks that must be completed first compared to my other urgent tasks.” I frowned at her grievance as my hands were busy pulling out the hair dryer in the dresser drawer.

“Do we have to leave now? Looks like they need you the most.” Bayu put his phone on the table and looked at me from the mirror reflection with his black lens.

“No.” I nodded and started to dry her hair.

We didn't talk for a few minutes, I was engrossed in a dryer while from the corner of my eye he just kept quiet and closed his eyes occasionally.

“By the way, what task is waiting for you there?” I asked after turning off the hair

dryer, looking at him in the mirror image.

There was a look of wonder directed at me, then he stood to turn to face me.

“Today I—mmm I wasn't too curious about what tasks you were doing because I was afraid of worrying too much about you, but now I should at least know what awaits you there so I can worry about you.” I said I saw him who didn't answer right away. “I love you, that's why I'll never finish praying for your safety.”

Bayu smiled gently to pull me into her arms. “Hmm.., the point is of course Rey and Alfred. We found hints about them.. Also some — combined training and some guard duty at the border. There may be other impromptu tasks.“

As much as I could, I withheld the question about the name of Luc that Rasha's father mentioned yesterday morning. I don't want us to discuss that last moment he's going off duty for a long time.

Then she suddenly stood up and turned to face me, her hand grabbed the hair dryer and turned around to be stored on my dressing table. Her black hair was still a bit wet and unruffled but her attention was on me completely.
