H.U.R.T
Expecting Clarity

His partnership with Gavin Vasquez went well. He liked the model that Gavin offered, although the model looked at him with great admiration. Gavin is wrong in this, but even so, Steve does not mind because the model is very beautiful.

One month passed, Steve still busied himself with work even though his heart was in another part of the world. He racked his brain for forgiveness in the hope that his heart would not be preoccupied with the problems of his love. Steve's back in Spain. Return to her routine that suddenly feels foreign.

No word from Lexi, no word from Pax and his descendants, no word from anyone and neither did Steve find out, trying to refrain from finding out. And it turned out that his strength was only able to last a month.

"Beth! What kind of report is this?!" Steve threw away the documents until they flew in the air and ended up scattered on the floor.

"He did it again" Beth sighed as she leaned over and picked up the sheet. His forehead wrinkled to read the row of words written on the sheet of paper he picked up.

"I'll tell you...."

"Make the right report! Don't add to my burden, Beth!" Steve snorted wryly. He removed his glasses, rubbing the base of his nose. His eyes were tired and he needed rest.

"First, I'm not the one working on the report. Leon is responsible for that. Five minutes ago I was out of his room, he was still working on the report which means it hasn't been submitted to you. Second, like I said, the report you want is still in Leon's hands. So what you're throwing out is a contract with the newly renewed Gavin Vasquez. Have you started to lose your vision until you can't read properly? A troubled heart but it seems like all your senses are badly affected. Ck!"

"Get out!"

"By pleasure, Dude!" Beth chimed in casually. The man immediately turned towards the exit.

"What about your other duties?"

Steve's question stopped the man's move. Although reluctant, Beth turned around, showing a lazy expression.

"Which task is it again?"

"Doraemon and Nobita. It's been more than a month since I've mandated that task to you."

Beth rolled her eyes in a puff, "I'm taking my leave until next week."

"It's not allowed before you give your report, Beth!"

"Please appreciate the sanity of your employees. Our mental health needs to be taken care of. I'm free for the next week and fuck Doraemon and Nobita. I like Shinchan! Appreciate my likes and don't make me watch things I don't like. Your insanity, you're enough to feel it, Dude. Don't pass it on to us..."

"Fuck buddy, get out of you!"

"OKAY. Sip!" Beth turned back the body. His hand was already on the doorknob when Steve's next speech managed to undo his intention to get out of the room the beggar felt it.

"You're fired!!"

The sacred word of a boss who always managed to make the workers do not wince. Including Beth.

"Doraemon, I've been watching up to episode 100. Their friendship is very inspiring. I'm impressed. I love it when Doraemon uses his magic bag. A lot of things can be taken out of there. I also like the propeller." His sycophant soul began to activate.

"If I had a magic bag," he muttered as he crossed the room and sat down on one of the couches.

"What are you gonna do with that?" Steve could hear it.

"Send you to the bermuda triangle."

Steve's chaotic mood couldn't be joked around. The man's gaze was sharp and unsheathed.

"I'll watch the continuation and please continue your work, Steve."

Steve shook his head, he immediately got out of his chair.

"I can't stand it anymore. Stop watching those fucking cartoons. Tell Leon we have to go to NYC. I'll visit Lexi and ask her in person."

"You're really going to visit Willson's residence."

"Lexi is not in the palace. Where else would I go to see him."

"Oh my God, I don't know when this drama ends."

"Don't add to my heart's wounds, Beth. I was a little traumatized by the word ending. I'm really not ready if it all ends this way."

"In addition to taste beggars, you are a persistent challenger of destiny."

"I take it as a compliment."

"Fuck you, Beth!!"

___

Lexi enters Steve's room, wiping the bed that witnesses the wildness between her and Steve. The same bed has not changed. His face was met with red, his body was on fire given their mischief that night. Although it had already been a month, those memories were still clearly recorded. Lexi could still feel the touch of Steve's fingers on her body, the man's blur on her lips.

All those memories only made him miss Steve more and more to make his chest feel tight.

Her lips sheathed a sweet smile, but not with her eyes beginning to glaze over. It's been almost two hours he's been here, at Steve's beach house, in St. Nelda's Island. Steve hasn't shown me his nose at all. The Nolan family had also returned to life in the city. Lexi was alone there, but Steve's scent was still left in the room making her not feel lonely at all.

Lexi got out of bed, walked up to Steve's desk. There, still lies the cell phone that Steve used to send words of encouragement to him in the name of Amor.

Lexi smiled, remembering Zetta's story about the magic capsule that Amor always carried that turned out to contain the same sentence. The words Steve wrote with his own hands. Lexi still remembers that the capsule she received on her birthday was a statement phrase. Ilove you.

He repeatedly tried to contact the man, but did not connect at all. While waiting for Steve, Lexi decided to take a walk on the beach until the sun went down. There was no sign of Steve returning.

Lexi entered the house, headed straight for the toilet to clean her body. After the shower, he again tried to contact Steve and still not connected.

"Is he not here?" his heart turned anxious and panicked. He finally tried to contact Zetta.

"Yes, Zetta Nolan is here."

"It's me, Lexi."

"Ouh, Lexii, have you met Steve?"

Lexi and Zetta had indeed reunited after her memory recovered. Lexi visited the hospital twice and visited the Nolan family residence before sailing to the beach.

"He's not here. His phone could not be reached. Do you have a number to call, Zetta?"

"Maybe you can call Leon. I'll send you the number. Where's that bad guy?!"

"Thank you, Zetta."

Connection interrupted. The next second, his phone clanked. Incoming messages from Zetta. Not waiting for long, Lexi immediately called Leon's number. Lexi hopes Leon answers the phone soon. However, he had to come back disappointed, the man's mobile number was off.

While at the Willson residence, Steve had landed his foot. Just as his car was about to enter the yard, a car came out of it. Harry was driving and next to the man sat a woman. Steve thinks that woman is Lexi. He followed the car until he stopped in front of a hotel.

Steve was burning flames of jealousy. Angrily, he rubbed his face violently. His mind drifted everywhere about what activities a couple would do in a hotel room.

Steve buried his head in the steering wheel. Can't see Harry and Lexi. Is this the answer to everything. Returning to the origin and Beth's sudden statement feels right, that everything that is destined cannot be changed.

Steve counts as many as ten. He's already got here. Everything should be clear. That's purpose. Slowly he lifted his head. His gaze was immediately fixed on Harry who was circling the car to open the door. The two of them joined hands towards the lobby.

There is something strange, Steve's forehead wrinkled in search of the oddity. He did not see Lexi's face, but from the visible posture, he knew that the woman was not Lexi.

Steve immediately went down, taking wide steps after Harry. His jealousy turns to rage imagining that Harry is playing with fire behind Lexi.

I don't know what Steven wants. Wouldn't it be that if Harry betrayed, it would be a boon for him. He had thought about it. However, seeing Harry actually having an affair, Lexi's reaction was in her mind. What if the girl gets hurt. Holy hooch!

Steve patted Harry on the shoulder, the man stopped and turned around, which was immediately greeted by a strong bogeman from Steve until Harry took a few steps back.

"How dare you betray Lexi..."

"Steve!!"

Steve who was about to throw a second bogeman was surprised by the figure that appeared between him and Harry.

"Zone..."

"Odelle's."

"Odelle?" Steve parroted. "When did your name change to Odelle?"

"Zenia Odelle Nolan's. That's my full name. Why did you hit him?!"
