Look at Me, Elle
Chapter 1 Wants to Be Relieved

"Quick a little, you know, right if I can't wait for you much longer?" said someone from behind Leonathan's cell phone. "His busy you are, it's never too late to come here. Hurry on!"

"Yes, I'm coming soon" broke up Leonathan who couldn't hear or see someone angry or crying because of himself. "Wait a minute." The call is then turned off by the caller.

The back is upright accompanied by footsteps from black pantofel shoes, away from the workspace on the second floor. Once through the door, the glasses that originally hung on the shirt, now covered his two blue eyes. The man in black suit came down the stairs in a slightly hurried step, impatient to visit a favorite spot. Where else would the destination be if not bars and nightclubs.

The sooner he went down the stairs of his cafe, Leonathan stared straight ahead. Giving greetings to employees with a short hand. Then pass through the bustling cafe exit on the lower floor while reaching into the black pants pocket he now wears. Taking out the keys while approaching a black car, the 1.69 billion BMW Z4 he bought two years ago. Of course save as much as possible and work as hard as Leonathan can to get the sports sedan car.

His blue eyes did not stop glancing at the few girls who were blatantly observing him. I wanted to smile, but he didn't have time for that. As soon as he got into the car, Leonathan pressed the accelerator quite tight. Both hands focus on driving, along with a straight forward view. The man focused on driving to get to his favorite destination quickly.

The expensive black car is in a parking lot of clubs and bars, quite famous in the Kuta area, Bali. Leonathan's car is parked. Before coming out, Leonathan took off his black suit and left it on the chair. The owner then came out with a strapping body while rolling the sleeves of a white shirt that he wore up to the elbow, as well as his other arm. Just a few steps away, the blue eyes of this twenty-five-year-old man were fixed on a girl who was laughing freely when she wanted to enter the club. Leonathan was fixated on the look of the girl who was able to pull something inside him.

"A light in a dark place" Leonathan muttered spontaneously as his pair of blue eyes did not stop staring at a girl wearing a red backless dress or a dress model with an open back. There was only a spaghetti strap crossed on the girl's back. To wake himself up, he cleared his throat. Stabilise even more before pushing the club's entrance.

Since there is no eleven o'clock at night, some visitors can enter without strict checks. Because Leonathan is too often present at one of the famous clubs in Bali, he easily entered. Yes, the man always comes there despite having a busy enough brain drain. The atmosphere of the club and some scenery there that is able to refresh his brain even for a moment.

As always, Leonathan prefers to be indoor rather than outdoor. As soon as he saw Alice, Leonathan got closer. "Where is that sexy girl? It's fast going" muttered Leonathan, wailing with sharp eyes that highlighted every corner of the club. Quite a lot of visitors, but he was still curious about the beautiful girl he had never seen before. Even just tonight this blue netra American man caught a beautiful and slim figure that managed to make him interested.

"What do you want to say? You are too pushy today" Leonathan said after sitting to Alice's right. "I know your habits as a forced woman, but today you're noisier than usual. What's up?" again with his left arm slung on the sofa. He even leaned his body towards Alice. "Who else is this time, hem? Tell me the truth."

Alice rolled her eyeballs as Leonathan stroked her chin with a seductive look. It was common for Leonathan to act like that, Alice was not surprised anymore. Long friends with Leonathan, make him understand and memorize how the nature and attitude of the man. "My problem is pretty big this time."

"On men again?" Alice relaxedly nodded. "Who left you this time?" leonathan asked as he picked up one of the alcoholic glasses. Alice had definitely ordered it for him. While waiting for Alice's answer, she looked for a beautiful woman in a red dress and slim body that could pull her in one look. Wishing he could have a chat tonight or even luck, Leonathan could sleep with the woman.

"I am not abandoned, but pursued."

"Really's? Anyone want to come after you?"

"You think I'm not selling?! You're not the only one being chased by women, I'm the same!" Hearing that Leonathan just chuckled. The focus is really on. He was very curious about the beautiful woman with high hair. Shows the neckline and back exposed due to the hot clothing model. Leonathan must get the beautiful woman, at least her mobile number. Minimal talking, because he rarely wants a woman from Bali or a woman who is not like him, western descent. "Something seems wrong. You seem to be looking for something, Nath .." continued Alice as she followed Leonathan's eyes to the dance floor. "You want to find a victim?"

"There's a local woman that interests me."

"You? Interested?"

"Yes, I think so." Now Alice chuckled at Leonathan's confession. "Isn't this common? Why are you laughing?"

"You can be interested after trying it. Those are the words you used to say, Nath. How could you be interested just because you saw it? You're surprising me. Really, I'm surprised at you .. what's more local women? HAHA ... You just can't move on from me, how can you be interested in a real woman here?"

"You should have supported me to forget you completely," the white-shirt man replied before taking another sip of his cocktail. The man's blue eyes increasingly did not stop looking for a female figure whose black hair was rolled up high and dressed sexy. The curvature of the slightly tanned girl was clearly recorded in Leonathan's eyes and brain. So attention-grabbing when his eyes accidentally stare at the posture.

"MAY ...!" a woman shouted from the front of Alice as she waved at the person called and Leonatha, who was sitting next to each other.

"NOMI!" she screeched Alice and she got up from the sofa and spread out her hands after seeing her best friend running towards her. "We finally meet! Why didn't you tell me first if you wanted to come here?

Naomi hugged Alice tightly, forgetting her friend who was still walking slowly to Leonatan and Alice's table. "I was on purpose, wanting to surprise you, '" she replied.

Leonathan had already ignored the two women who were hugging, being looking at the oblong-faced girl and her slightly thick lips intensely. Until finally Alice's voice managed to resuscitate. "Talk, this is Naomi, my best friend who is on vacation in Bali," Alice said before whispering into Leonathan's ear, "whose eyes are watching?"

"I'm not alone." Naomi then turned around, waving at her friend who was still walking behind lazily. The girl reluctantly walked to Alice and Leonathan's table, seen from the slowed footsteps. "Come, Elle!"

While Leonathan was observing a girl named Elle, sipped alcoholic beverages without answering Alice's last question. The man also gives a faint smile to Naomi, who starts to sit on Alice's left side. Suddenly Alice said, "you can sit next to Leonathan, my friend from long ago." Leonathan and Elle turn to Alice. "Leonathan isn't fierce, so relax."

Naomi also spoke, "really said Alice, just relax Elle .. understand, Brielle never come to a place like this."

"Oh .. I just found out that there is still a plain girl like you," replied Alice who then nudged Leonathan's left arm as she cleared her throat. "Take a chat, I need to talk to my best friend" he continued, smiling brightly at Naomi. Not only that, but he also intends to provide a gap for Leonathan. Of course, so that the man can be closer to Elle, because Alice feels that girl is what Leonathan has been after since. Alice was sure, Leonathan was looking for an ideal woman with a distinctive or original face of Indonesia, who was none other than Naomi's friend.

"Well .. that's a great idea! Because Elle just broke up and di—"

"Don't talk anymore, Naomi!" elle's jolt begins to smell Naomi's accident to expose her problem today.

"Maybe you can tell me a little bit" Leonathan said, standing up. Without further ado he walked towards Brielle. "I'm also a man, it's not wrong for us to be friends" he continued with a thin smile but looking very friendly in Elle's eyes.

In fact, from earlier Brielle tried to avoid the gaze of the man who was now in front of her. Because at the bottom of the heart, Elle felt that something was wrong with the man. Either from the looks or even the gazes that led to him. Like there was something that made Elle have to be vigilant. I don't know which feeling it was from, but Brielle pretty much felt there was something to take care of.

"Yes, who knows if you can discuss," Naomi seemed to be very supportive of Leonathan's remarks.

"He can provide solutions, get acquainted and make friends well," added Alice as she widened the smile on the face decorated with makeup is quite thick, different from Elle's makeup is not striking.

Now Leonathan's right hand is outstretched in front of the girl who makes him curious secligus interested. Hope his invitation is not rejected. For some reason, her heart was beating faster as Elle actually received the helping hand she gave and returned her friendly smile. "We're looking for a comfortable place to chat. I know, you're blind to this kind of place."

"Yes, very."

"So, follow me." With a single nod Elle responded and without protest he walked on Leonathan's left side. As for the man, it was eager to place his hand on Elle's waist. Circled and clenched tightly there with her bright face.

Leaving the indoor club, Leonathan plans to take Elle out. He felt, the outdoor atmosphere more fun than inside. For the sake of the girl, Leonathan was willing to set foot out again, where the atmosphere of the countryside was more pronounced. Because the concept of the club is out of the box, rarely found in Bali. The typical atmosphere of Brazil is so thick, it is increasingly felt if he is in the outer club, according to Leonathan since setting foot in the club first.

How not to look like the countryside, much overgrown with towering trees. The environment around Leonathan and Brielle was really like in a forest. Leonathan also chose a seat that is not too mingled with other visitors.

"It seems you're used to it here. I mean, like I've been coming to this place a lot."

"Yes, you're absolutely right. Every day I visit. My favorite place and Alice." Brielle who heard the statement was quite surprised, until her pair of eyes widened. "Although famous as the busiest night club in Bali, the care here is quite tight. No one can get drunk here, because anyone who is found to drink excess alcohol, he can be dragged out. So you take it easy, no one can do anything with you here."

"Hem .. I'm more trusting."

"You mean?"

"Naomi told me about it. But I can't believe it yet, even though I know that Naomi won't lie. Hearing your words just now, I trusted Naomi's words even more."

"So you've never been to a place like this before?"

"Not seen, huh?" Leonathan nodded small. "Twenty years I lived in Bali, only this time I stepped on this kind of place."

"It's so sweet."

"But now I want to breathe a sigh of relief."

A few seconds after hearing the innocent confession from Elle, Leonathan grew interested in hearing it. The girl he had been after was very innocent. More innocent than he thought. "You're always locked in?"

"No, I'm the one who takes care of myself too much from the world. I was decided by my lover as well because I was too shut down. Sounds awful, doesn't it?"

"Which man wants to let you go? You're so beautiful and awesome. Only a stupid man can let you go and not be afraid to lose you." Suddenly Brielle laughed when she heard Leonathan's exaggerated words for her. "I'm not being funny. Why are you laughing? I spoke as is after hearing your confession" added Leonathan who looked very serious in Elle's eyes.

Brielle who had been crushed, immediately muffled her mouth so as not to spout laughter anymore. Turning to look into the man's blue eyes fixedly. Brielle tried to straighten up, then grabbed her right leg with her left leg and cleared her throat briefly. His hands were folded in front of his chest, and he asked, "I want to be relieved once again. After chatting with you, I felt relieved, but not entirely. Only part of me is relieved, but not completely."

"What do you want?"

"I want to try alcohol."

"You sure?"

"Why do I doubt? There is someone who can accompany me. You're gonna protect me, aren't you?" ask Brielle who no longer feels doubt. He brushed off any misgivings for Leonathan. According to him, maybe the feeling of alert was present because Leonathan was a man. Where are the creatures he should avoid after breaking up with his ex. "Let me really feel relieved."

"What if we get out of here? I'll take you to my house, so you can be freer."

"I accept your offer" Elle replied as she got up from the wooden brown seat a few minutes ago to hold her weight.
