Chapter 16 Aaron's Feelings

Lucas was so late in grief. He did not even care how many alcohol glasses he had drunk. Because there was only one inside her head, Bella's departure made her a frutation.

His eyes wandered to the corners of the entertainment. The loud thumping sound of music made her want to go down to the dance floor and sway, forgetting what she was feeling.

He began to stagger his feet, not caring that he often hit people around him, until someone blocking his wrist made him angry and turned his body towards the person.

There stood a woman. The woman was wearing clothes that did not suit the entertainment venue, too closed. His dark brown hair was tied carelessly making the child hair on his left-hand side dangle with his naughty. His face looked worried seeing the man he knew acting like that.

"Luc, let's go home" said the woman, trying to drag Lucas' wrist.

"Who do you .. hehehe .. do I know you," Lucas giggled. He approached the face of the woman in front of him and smiled. "Oh .. You're a pervert, apparently, what are you doing here?"

Kimber grimaced at the words, then started dragging the man's wrist back. However, how many times he tried, the results were in vain. Even he who was now dragged by the man to a dark corner in that place.

Lucas violently pushed Kimber's body against the wall, then kissed the lips violently. He could feel that his lips were bleeding.

Kimber tried to push Lucas' clay chest away from his body, but what he did seemed futile, because Lucas kept a tight grip on him.

"Are you crazy, huh!?" kimber's screams attempted to beat the loud thumping music behind him.

Lucas grinned, then started reaching for the woman's body again, "I just want this," he said, then kissed the thin lips again.

"You're crazy!" Kimber really doesn't know what to do. Even his body was already in the man's arms again. He abused her without being able to do anything.

Aaron sees Lucas' treatment of Kimber, with wide strides he's headed to the spot, pulling Lucas' body from sticking to the woman's body.

"What are you doing? Instead of taking her home, you're looking for an opportunity to tease her!" Aaron yelled at Kimber. I don't know what he feels, but he does not like if the man who is now in his arms touches Kimber.

Kimber just silently snapped like that. He would rather leave the entertainment.

***

Bella looks agitated because her flight was delayed by two hours, while now the clock has shown ten o'clock at night, and she has to wait with Arthur in the airport canteen.

Sometimes he grimaces remembering his actions. He looks silly because he easily gave up on fate, but behind it all he was happy to know the fact that he and Lucas were not siblings which means they can both unite.

Bella smiled faintly in between her daydreams, making Arthur who was in front of her inevitably feel astonished. The man waved his palm, but was not responded to by it.

"I'm afraid to be close to you, Bell." Arthur stood up leaving the woman to order black coffee for him.

***

Aaron lets Lucas into his room and lays the man on his bed, while Kimber, the, he made black coffee for Lucas because the caffeine contained in the coffee should have neutralized the alcohol in the man's body so that the dizziness and nausea will be slightly reduced.

When the woman had just reached the doorway, Kimber saw Aaron sitting on the edge of the middle bed staring at Lucas with a hard-to-understand look. The look in his eyes seemed sad, but Aaron just kept silent doing nothing.

Kimber is too late with what he sees, until he is unaware that Aaron has turned to look at him. The man stood up and then stepped towards him.

Aaron deliberately aligned his face with the woman who had troubled his heart. He wanted to see clearly the innocent face of the woman, keeping it inside his brain because soon he could not look at that face as freely as he was now. His palm gently stroked the surface of the woman's delicate skin, and then clenched his forehead with Kimber's forehead.

"I think I've fallen in love with you, Kim." Aaron closed both his eyes.

Kimber tried to digest Aaron's words to him, but his brain seemed unable to interpret them.

"Yes, I love you" said Aaron. The man kissed Kimber's thin lips briefly.

Kimber's eyes were perfectly rounded, and he stepped back to give them some distance. His tears could not be weathered anymore, because with the swift tears that poured out of his two beautiful eyes.

I don't know what he has to do, which he clearly misses the life that he used to be, when he didn't know Aaron or the people around him.

"You haven't done enough to live my life, have you?!" Kimber slowly retreated further and gave distance between him and Aaron.

"I'm sorry if I played you. But I'm really in love with you, Kim, I love you." Aaron tried to get close to the woman, but stopped when he saw her pill cry.

"I don't believe your bullshit. You intentionally made me suffer. What's my fault with you, A?" Kimber sobbed and sat down on the floor. Both of his hands were trying to hug themselves.

Aaron could not speak anymore, he felt sick to see the woman he loved was crying because of her and he was really angry with himself, because it was too late to realize his own feelings.

Lucas' vegetables heard the commotion in his room, though his head was heavy he forced it to open his eyes. There he saw the woman who was about to marry him crying in a position that made everyone who saw him feel sorry for him. While Aaron just silently stared as if he could only watch the woman.

"Please trust me, Kim, I really love you." Aaron tried to reach Kimber's body, but was stopped with the woman's hand.

Lucas heard her and he did not expect if the two men turned out to have a relationship unknown to him, even he only realized that he did not know where the woman lived until now.

"Don't come any closer, A, don't! I don't want to hear from you anymore, this is the last." Kimber stood up and left Lucas' room. Leaving Aaron alone in that place.

***

Until dawn broke in the western horizon, Lucas could not close his eyes. He still remembers last night. About Aaron's confession to Kimber, and those are words that Luca knows from the heart. Because he had experienced it, telling feelings to the woman he loved.

His head suddenly ached and he completely cursed his folly of running away on alcoholic drinks. For a moment he recounted the fate of the woman he loved. Until knocking from the direction the door jerked at him and looked at someone who was now standing in the doorway.

There Aunt Mandy looks ready with her beautiful pastile reverberation, making the middle-aged woman's beauty look many times more than before. Lucas smiled and told the woman to come in.

"Auntie you look so pretty in that dress" Lucas said sincerely.

Mandy's aunt smiled at the compliments from her nephew and sat down at Lucas' bedside.

"I'm fine with your Mommy, Luc." Aunt Mandy smiled broadly as she handed the clothes now in her hands towards Lucas.

"What's this?" ask Lucas.

Aunt Mandy smiled, "The clothes my sister wore when she married your Mommy,"
