Handsome Ghost (Medium in Revision)
"A kiss isn't the end of everything?"

Andres woke up from a lying position, and shuffled then sat on the edge of the bed, took the phone on the nightstand and put the contact application and his fingers hesitated to press the button to call Lia.

Andres stared at the screen of his phone restlessly, he restrained his hair restlessly, then squeezed a strand of bangs that fell from the squeeze of his hand.

Andres took a deep breath, and realized what he was doing was childish. But, really he did not have the opportunity to not understand Lia's position. It's just that Andres is not ready if you have to slam the distance with Lia.

Andres realized when he met Lia it certainly did not feel as free as when Lia was still in Jakarta, while after moving to the city of Bogor it would feel different, it took time on the trip, he said, meet Lia only on holidays, and certainly can not be as often as possible to meet.

Andres stood up, tried to call Lia and wanted to apologize for her actions. All he expected now was to hear Lia's voice on the phone call.

Tuout.....

Andres let out a rough sigh, then threw the phone over the bed when his phone calls were made many times completely unanswered Lia. It seemed that it was probably Lia who turned around was angry at him.

It seems that Andres was struck by a confusing situation, Andres stared at the ceiling of the room with both arms on his waist. What should he do now?

Lia tried to close her eyes, but still couldn't. And he now tries to forget what just happened, forgetting how Andres's response was clearly angry with him, including forgetting his move later. And somehow his chest was filled with a dark, dense form of emotion. Did it all happen because Andres was mad at her? so that his mood turns messy like this?

Lia let out a long sigh and then inched to a seat, trying to dispel the tightness that was squeezing her chest. The awareness of his change in feelings towards Andres really made him shaken.

Lia wiped away the remains of tears with the back of her hand, then picked up the phone lying on the nightstand, looking at the phone lcd with some missed calls from Andres, but Lia instead chose to ignore it.

Maybe all Lia has to do right now is keep her distance from Andres. Maybe so slowly his guilt towards Andres will disappear by itself, and of course he will feel the comfort before in his birthplace first, without thinking about Andres.

After all for the time being Lia did not want to see Andres grieving over parting with him, and staying away was a safe choice.

Suddenly he heard the glass window of his room tap someone, making Lia's heart try to anticipate. Those nights who knocked on his bedroom window?

Doubtfully Lia walked over to the glass window, slowly opening the curtains of her room partly slowly and vigilantly.

Out there stands a tall figure that is certainly easy to recognize, the figure is Andres who looks very cool as usual.

Why is Andres back? does it have anything to do with not picking up the phone?

Lia immediately rushed to open the balcony door, while Andres was still glued.

"Why come back again?"asked Lia a little bit ketus, Andres looked nervous, but usually Andres always looks confident.

"Can enter? I want to say something." he said slowly.

Lia sighed, it might feel unwise if she did not allow Andres to enter. Lia felt that she had to appreciate the arrival of Andres, after all the distance of Andres' house and his house took thirty minutes, so there is no harm also if Lia gives the opportunity to hear what Andres wants to convey.

Finally Lia opened the door wider so that Andres could enter. Then Andres sat on the dresser chair, while Lia sat on the edge of the bed and the two of them faced each other, Lia just silently waiting for Andres to speak first.

"I came to apologize" Andres said.

"I'm sorry? sorry for what Andres?"Lia laughed blandly.

"About me being childish," Andres's face looked very sorry, Lia was twisting her shoulders as she played her fingers.

"There's no need for an apology from Andres, and regarding my move it's not what I want."Lia smiled thinly.

Lia was earnest with her words just now, having had time to think she was aware that Andres' response was a natural thing as a friend knowing that the two of them would be separated in no time.

"Yes, I understand."Andres just nodded slowly."And I've been thinking and I accept your decision, I'm allowing you to move even though it feels very difficult" he continued.

"Andres, so that we are not tormented by this separation, we better not have to meet again." said Lia who made Andres' forehead wrinkled.

"What's your magsud, Li?"

"Yes, we don't have to see each other anymore." lia explained everything.

"I'm allowing you to move, Li. But why did you tell me not to see you again?"Andres smiled faintly, then looked at Lia inexhaustibly.

Lia sighed then her eyes looked into Andres's eyes deeply.

"Why don't you like my suggestion? it's the best thing so that we don't always be sad all day long, or tormented with longing, right?"

"But I disagree, Li."Andres protested instantly.

"Why?"ask Lia sharply.

"About longing, if it can still be achieved by meeting, it will definitely be resolved, Li."

"But, it's gonna take your time, your energy, I don't want you to do any of that and you're gonna bother yourself!"exclaiming Lia then sighed violently, and averted his gaze so as not to see Andres's face.

"Look at me Lia!"pinta Andres was sharp, making Lia instantly turn her head and look at Andres lazily.

Andres let out a long sigh, and began to set his feelings in a frenzy to calm down even more. All can be overcome with a cold head without having to be angry like this.

"Why did you do that? you were obviously mad at me?"Lia asked softly.

"You don't see me? I just woke up at that time, Li?"andres replied trying to leave out the real reason.

"Don't lie, Andres."decak Lia rolled a lazy eyeball.

"Trust me,"

"Don't try to seduce!"lia's bully with both hands side-by-side in the chest.

"That's not seduction, Li. Why can't you tell the difference between a plea and a plea to trust me?"

"So,"Lia was still sulking with the phrase emphasis.

"Well, do you want to forgive me, don't you, Li?"asked Andres again with eyes that were so adorable.

"If you're not my best friend, I might never forgive you."he said casually.

Hearing those words made Andres smile with relief, very happy when they both had the chance to talk as well as now, Lia's erratic might still be a little upset but at least Lia had forgiven him already right?

"Now I'm forgiven, so go home," joked Lia but still fighting judes.

"Ah, is that it? all right, I'm home,"

Andres made a movement as if he was about to move, Lia's eyes festering, so Lia hurriedly grabbed his wrist to keep Andres from leaving. Andres just stared at Lia's face flatly, gently brushed aside Lia's hand until it slipped from her wrist.

Instead of leaving, Andres instead linked his fingers with Lia's fingers. Making Lia's lips twitch and then engraved a smile.

"So I was just kidding," said Lia.

"I know,"he shrugged his shoulders briefly, and they both sat on the edge of the bed.

"Andres, thank you." whispered Lia right in Andres' ear in a happy tone.

One eyebrow Andres raised."For?"

"Have allowed me to move," said Lia smiling broadly.

"No problem" Andres said briefly.

Andres spread his arms, and even Lia did not refuse. Lia eroded the distance, approached Andres and Andres immediately wrapped Lia's tiny body in a tight embrace, it was as if this was the last chance and although it could not be lied to from the bottom of the heart, that the unreality was still there.

The hug was very comfortable, and even Lia's heart warmed up and everything felt better. Andres is a really good friend, and can accept all the decisions he takes.

"Li?"call Andres in a clean voice.

"Hm."sohut Lia without looking at Andres.

"Does it feel wrong, if a man is in a girl's room nights like this?"ask Andres in serious sentences.

"If a good friend like you might not be wrong, so there's no thinking going that way, right?"

Lia looked at Andres for support, somehow Andres looks wrong behavior, is this maybe just his feelings? Among the friendships they made, Lia felt that there were never any romantic things going through. Moreover, erotic thoughts, never in the slightest thought.

"You think?"Andres even asked back with his hoarse voice and a happy eye twinkle in the read.

"We'll be fine even in the room. How could you possibly do it with me, I trust you so much Andres," said Lia confidently as her head looked up at Andres.

Suddenly Lia felt Andres' hand coming down from the circle of his neck, and clutching at his waist. Andres lowered his head until the faces of the two of them were not far apart, even Lia could feel the roar of warm Andres breath hitting his face.

The unreadable sparkle disappeared for an instant, and was already changed by a dark gaze that made Lia try to anticipate.

"Andres?"call Lia trying to calm down.

Wild thoughts had filled Lia's head. Lia seemed to shake his head faintly, trying to convince himself that Andres could not possibly do something he had thought of.

"Everybody had a kiss, right, Li?"the whispers make Lia berigidig.

"But, not with a friend."sahut Lia stammered.

"A kiss is not the end of everything, Li." Andres said.

Lia felt Andres grabbing her chin, looking at Lia's late-goals face with his dark eyes.

"Li, do I deserve a kiss from you?"lia's eyes were bulging and immediately shook in panic.

The cup!

Something chewy and soft suddenly felt stuck on Lia's lips. Lia was fixated, trying to digest what happened and let's say that this was just a dream, a dream that Andres didn't really kiss his lips.
