Grasping Longs
Part~236's
"What's wrong with you Ricko ?" Sarah seemed to take a glass of alcohol that her friend wanted to drink.
"What are you doing here ?" Ricko looked upset, then he took back his glass and gulped it down to the toilet.
"Of course take care of you from those caress-hungry women." said Sarah as she circulated her views exploring every corner of the bar in the middle of the city.
"They won't dare to come any closer" Ricko said as he poured his drink back into his glass, but again Sarah recaptured it.
"What the hell are you, Rick? is there a problem ?" ask Sarah later.
While Ricko looks rubbed his face rough. "Mama wants to set me up." she said later.
"What, with whom ?" Sarah was surprised.
"Son's friend."
"Keep ?"
"Of course I rejected it, know it too" said Ricko.
"Keep ?"
"Mama said she would call off the match if I brought a woman as my future wife." said Ricko again.
"Then you found it ?" ask Olive.
"That's what makes me dizzy, all this time I've never been in love with a girl." said Ricko.
"I would ask, if there are only two women in this world. Me and the girl you want to be with, who will you choose to be your wife ?" ask Sarah.
"Maybe you." said Ricko.
"Why ?"
"Because we've known each other for a long time." said Ricko.
"Yes already then, why don't we just try to be in a relationship" said Sarah who immediately made Ricko widen her eyes.
"That's possible, I don't love you." she refused.
"But I love you, Rick." sidelines Sarah.
"What's? Sar, I didn't say our relationship was just pure friends."
"I'm sorry, but I can't help feeling this. Please give me a chance Rick, I'm sure I can make you love me. You don't want to be married anyway? so why don't we try it first. I promise that if one day you find the woman you love, I'll let you go." Sarah said.
Ricko seemed to think for a moment. "All right." he agreed.
Ricko, who remembers how his relationship with Sarah began, seemed to take a deep breath. He didn't think it would be this complicated.
"I'm sorry, I." he said, gently rubbing Sarah's sobbing back in his arms.
At the same time Olive was seen entering his room, after first knocking on his door.
"Olive ?" Ricko was immediately shocked when he saw the girl.
"Sorry sir, I just want to remind you that in 15 minutes the meeting will start" Olive said staring at her boss.
"Then excuse me." he added again and then he passed out of the room.
"I'm sorry." Ricko seems guilty of letting Olive see him cuddle with Sarah.
Meanwhile Olive, who had just walked out of Ricko's room, immediately passed to the toilet.
"Why is it so painful to see them like that." he murmured, as crystal grains flowed down his cheeks.
"I beg Rick, give me one chance I'm sure can make you love me. What kind of woman do you love? is he good? is she pretty ?" please Sarah after Ricko uncovers her embrace.
"Sarah, please understand." said Ricko.
"I don't want to, if you dare to leave me. I'll make sure you find my body soon." Sarah threatened, after which she rushed away from Ricko's room.
"Sar-Sarah you don't go crazy." cried Ricko, then he ruffled his hair violently at the sight of his disappearance.
He regretted why he had accepted Sarah's offer, now he felt trapped by the woman. However, he loved his best friend very much.
Had he never met Olive and loved her, he might have tried to love Sarah.
Although Sarah's a spoiled girl and a little haughty but actually that woman is very nice.
"Olive, about that....."
"Sorry, sir. Meeting immediately began, you should go straight to the meeting room now because it has been waiting there." between Olive cut off the conversation while moving from her seat with a pile of files.
While Ricko seemed to sigh with annoyance, but he had to be professional.
"Alright." he said, then passed away and followed by Olive behind him.
Arriving at the meeting place, Demian saw his father was already there. The middle-aged man even though he has declared retirement but still likes to follow his company's monthly meetings.
Ricko who was sitting next to Olive appeared to start his meeting that morning, the man was always professional when it came to his work.
And Olive, who saw that, was proud of the man, at a young age Ricko was very successful in leading his company to replace his father.
After giving a presentation of his company's achievements this month, Ricko again sat in his chair.
Then he took Olive's hand and held it under the table, while Olive who felt her hand held by someone was immediately shocked.
Then he looked at Ricko and the man looked back at him with a gentle smile.
While Olive who still remembers the incident in Ricko's office, he tried to release his hand but the man increasingly tightened his grip.
"Be quiet dear, otherwise all the employees here will know our relationship especially Papa and maybe next we will be married." whispered Ricko slowly who immediately made Olive suddenly pale.
"Darling ?" hearing Ricko's words of affection, his heart immediately warmed. He felt his stomach full of butterflies.
"Jeez Olive, don't be stupid. He has a lover, after all."
Olive reminded herself not to be too late into the seduction of her superiors.
Then he turned to look at Demian who was talking at that moment.
"Papa, I miss you so much." he muttered looking at Demian.
He missed his father very much, he wanted to embrace him but he did not have the courage.
After the meeting was over, Olive immediately returned to her own desk. Because Ricko is still busy discussing with his father in the meeting room.
"Follow me." Ricko ordered later, when the man had just arrived.
"Where are you going, sir? there are no more meetings." said Olive.
"I'm hungry." said Ricko.
"Do I want to order food ?" tawar Olive's.
"I want to eat your cooking at home." said Ricko.
"But, sir..."
"I don't like rejection, Olive." said Ricko, then passed away.
Olive who saw that inevitably he immediately followed the boss.
"Please make me some food." Ricko ordered when he arrived at his apartment.
"But I can't cook sir." declined Olive reasoned.
"Learn, because from now on if there is not much work in my office I will have lunch in the Apartment." said Ricko who immediately made Olive glare at him.
"Sir, it's not like we can order outside and it's sure that the food will taste better." Olive said.
"Hurry to cook, whatever it is I will eat." Ricko ordered with keukeh.
"Sir, I really can't cook." Olive said.
"I don't like to be rebutted, Olive." - Ricko.
"Truly sir, how about salinity or sweetness." keukeh Olive.
"Olive ?" Ricko's getting upset.
"How about I call Miss Sarah to cook for you ?" bargain Olive who immediately makes Ricko lost patience.
The man appears to have walked up to Olive and then suddenly silenced the girl's lips with his.
