LOVER MONSTER!
65. For real.

Jessica's smile was sour. His head nodded smallly digesting Demian's words. Angela is her lover. I don't know since when, anyway she's been dating Angela. Most likely their relationship has been growing for a long time.

Demian introduces Angela to Erthian, his brother. That means serious. His closeness and Angela means serious.

Hahaahaha.

How stupid!

Jessica is feeling so stupid.

How could he try to make Demian fall for him, if in reality, the man already had Angela as his lover?

Even being an idiot has its limits!

Jessica-being in front of Demian, Erthian and Angela-feels like she's been humiliated. Jessica embarrassed herself. Jessica was ashamed of her thoughts and to be honest, jumping off the top of the khalifa burj was probably better than being there.

'Jeez, yeah.., am I trying to tease a guy who already has a girlfriend?' the thought of it spontaneously made Jessica feel disgusted.

His heartache became nothing, his stained self-esteem further hurt him.

"Because your brother has come, I'll go back to my friends." Jessica patted Erthian's arm lightly. He wants to say goodbye. Maybe after this Jessica will drown herself in the bathtub.

Ugh. Cussing at himself is not enough right now.

"Ah, okay. Thank you for accompanying me..." Erthian looked confused. I don't know what he confused.

"Sorry to make you misunderstand me" Jessica said. "Please stop by next time if you want, this place is open for you."

While Jessica was talking to Erthian, Demian felt a thirst to push Erthian home. All of Jessica's hospitality was inappropriate for Erthian to accept. That guy's a bastard. He should not be treated with courtesy.

Demian would feel better if Jessica spat in her brother's face right now! But that's impossible, right?!

Ughhhh...

"When do you want to be here?" Demian asked Erthian back. He as much as possible minimizes Erthian's attention from Jessica. "Have you taken your medicine?"

"I'm fine, Demian. Don't worry about me. Than that..." Erthian lowered his gaze to Angela. "You're saying he's from Italy?"

"We were on the same flight" Angela said. As a clueless figure, instantly recognized as Demian's girlfriend, Angela takes on the role full of fantasy.

"So, you've been dating for a long time...?"

"Just the last few months" said Angela. "After my ex and I separated, Demian was always loyal to my side. He made me appreciate his existence and our relationship grew to become even more special."

"Well..."

"By the way, I didn't know Demian had a brother. You guys are so similar. I'm gobsmacked."

"Because we're brothers, having a similar look has become normal, right?" Erthian replied to Angela while occasionally looking at Jessica who was now busy fiddling with her phone.

Although Angela was in front of him and claimed to be Demian's lover, Erthian was immersed in incomprehension.

Erthian meant that, when she was with Jessica, Erthian felt that the girl had the right criteria to be Demian's lover. He was just..., deeply reflecting on Demian. Casual and simple. Be careful and brainy. She was a typical woman who often captivated Demian's attention.

Erthian knew that because he had been observing Demian like a germ in his microscope. Erthian knew Demian's preferences well, though sometimes Demian didn't know his own. Erthian knows, women like Angela should be beyond Demian's interest.

The girl may look kind, but obviously her brain is lacking in function.

'Am I wrong here?' Erthian felt very uncertain.

"If you're content to investigate my life, Erthian, you better go home. Don't interrupt my lover's work." Demian put emphasis on the word lover solely in order for Erthian's brain to accept that information as truth. Let there be no doubt.

"When I'm just sitting here, but if you feel like I'm bothering your girlfriend, how about you take a walk with me today?"

"I'll take you wherever you want" Demian said. "I can throw you into the Hoover dam if I have to."

"Look, Angela.., how cruel your boyfriend is to his sick brother. I'm being sad."

"Yaaahahahaha, how else?" Angela embraced Demian's arm and laughed. "Demian is like that. I'll scold it for you later."

"You guys are so adorable. It irritates me."

"Ah, eh?"

Demian immediately interrupted. Not wanting Angela to wonder and extend their conversation. "It's nothing, Angela. Go back to work, I'll take my brother home."

Hollowly.

As the girl who had been crushed by reality, all that was left was definitely nothing in the chest. Gundah-gulana and nestapa chime, sweeping away all colors from his expression. Jessica - for the first time - understands what heartbreak really means. Jessica understood and regretted this understanding.

If he does not know anything about love and romance, then he does not need to face all the problems that occur now. He just needs to work normally, meet his friends, enjoy a favorite meal, read a book and sleep. He did not need to stare towards the balcony of his room with the corner of his eyes wet with a feeling of disappointment.

Demian already has a girlfriend, for Christ's sake. Why is reality so painful?

"I feel like a silly girl..." Jessica changed her position to recumbent. His eyes looked at the ceiling of the room which was bright white.

"Demian, yes.., if you love Angela, you shouldn't shake my defenses with your being. It sucks! If you knew this, who would be responsible for my heart?" Jessica wailed softly.

Instantly, Jessica recalled all the intrigue that Dania had taught her. All the heart games that end up playing him back. Jessica recalled that when she should not have given up on making Demian her lover before the 24th, Demian destroyed all her efforts first.

"Do you want me to be with someone's boyfriend?"

Maybe this approach from the beginning was destined to be shipwrecked.

Angela was standing in front of the Elixir cafe when Demian picked her up. The man was wearing a large red motorbike. While waiting for Angela to get on the motorbike, Demian put her attention towards the balcony of Jessica's room where her room lights were still on. The girl hasn't slept.

Damn it, if it wasn't for Erthian being in this town. Demian just climbed up there and met Jessica. However, unfortunately the situation did not match Demian's expectations.

Erthian's existence needs to be watched out for. Demian did not want the existence of Jessica in Demian's heart to be known by Erthian.

"Demians..."

"..."

"Demian???"

Uh, oh?

Sheesh's.

Because cool to think about Jessica, Demian to forget the existence of Angela who was already on standby behind him.

"What the hell did you see up there?" Angela's tone was a little upset.

Just now, Demian's gaze was directed toward Jessica's room. That's not fun, though it might just be a misunderstanding. Angela did not want to think that Demian was staring at Jessica's room. Angela didn't want that to happen, even though it was just a scheme she concluded herself.

"I just thought about what I want to eat now." Demian made free.

"When you look there?"

"What do you mean look over there, my view is there, but my mind is on another. That's a look of gloom, Angela." Demian's lies are as smooth as the toll road.

"Anyway, are you interested in having chicken wings with me tonight? I want to eat that."

"Aaaah," complaints came out of Angela's lips. "Can't it be anything else? I'm not comfortable holding my food straight, it feels a bit unhygienic."

Because Chicken wings are food served without cutlery such as spoons or forks, Angela who is not accustomed to eating directly from her hands considers it a bit?

Angela is quite famous on social media, if her followers accidentally see her in a roadside stall eating chicken wings with a straw face, the image of 'feminim' that she built can be tarnished.

"So, what do you want to eat?" Demian tries to compensate Angela's wishes. After all, the girl was already meritorious for wanting to pretend to be her boyfriend. Not eating chicken wings today may not matter. Demian can eat the food later with Jessica when they get better. Hehe.

"Eat at the terrace cafe, how? I really like the place. Also, the last time I stopped by, I haven't had a photo at all."

"Photo?"

"Yes, for my media social account."

"Ah, oh.., okay." Demian knew it was Angela's habit, but because she had often met with Jessica, Angela's behavior should have been ordinary, even making Demian's forehead raised next to her.

After deciding where to eat, Demian darted towards the terrace cafe. They order food according to their individual tastes, and next, Demian becomes Angela's photographer who is now posing across the table.

That girl is beautiful, really. However, Demian's heart felt saturated.

"Demian, what's boring?" Angela is fortunately sensitive. "You've been breathing out over and over again."

"Eh, it's not like that.., I'm just starving." Demian is full of lies.

"You're sure it's not because you're bored?"

"If I get bored, I won't be here." Demian chimed in with a faint smile. "Ah, yes, Angela. There's actually something I'd like to talk to you about this morning."

"Oh, about your brother, huh? I'm surprised you have a brother, he looks so much like you, already so he also has the same mane of curls..., do you guys like that, I wonder.., ahahaha." Angela serocos long.

"Angela," said Demian.

Surely, Demian did not intend to discuss his family's genetics right now. That's not important at all.

"I want to apologize for making you confess to me as my girlfriend. I'm so grateful that you've worked together and helped me, but still, I've made a mistake."

"Eh, so that's what you want to talk about? What the fuck.., don't hesitate Demian. I do it with pleasure."

"In spite of that, I've forced you to lie..." Demian knew how much Angela was reluctant to show falsehood. She is an honest and innocent girl. Pretending she was Demian's lover and telling lies definitely made her uncomfortable.

"I don't know what you're worried about, Demian. Because I honestly don't think of my words as a lie."

"Yes?"

"Of course, we haven't dated yet.., but. I really appreciate you always being by my side, and the rest, about our relationship developing to be more special."

"..." - ".Huh, what?

"Demian, I don't mind being your real lover."
