Me And The Mysterious Man's
Chapter 25 - Forget Richy!

Ben and Becca were silent for a moment. They are both preoccupied with the cell phone that is in their hands. But to be honest, Ben's mind was constantly disturbed by Jack and Becca talking about the cafe. In the end, he dared to ask.

"May I ask you what you did with Jack at the cafe?" Ben looked seriously at Becca.

"As I said, just have a cup of coffee. We just happened to meet." Becca tried to answer as calmly as possible. He closed his eyes for a moment, it flashed through his mind to tell what had happened on the playground.

"Hi guys!" a woman's voice catches the attention of Becca and Ben. Their vision was met with the sighting of Tara already standing at the door.

"Tara!" Becca widens her eyes excitedly.

"Who are you coming with?" ask Ben. But the question is not at all discussed by Tara. The full-bodied girl seemed to rush to sit joined to the mattress. His face was very excited. Making Becca and Ben look at her with a frown.

"There's Jack downstairs, and I was talking to him. Oh my god, his smile is really sweet!" Tara told me while cupping her own face.

"Isn't his smile more in a horrible direction?" Ben has his own opinion. He looked at Becca through the corner of his eye, hoping that the girl would agree with his opinion. But Becca looked silent as if something was troubling her mind.

"Beca?" Ben tried to call.

"Becca! you all right?" Tara, who just realized her best friend was engrossed in pensive, also tried to resuscitate.

Becca immediately woke up. Actually from now on he only weighed the decision, to tell what he had been through while on vacation to Gran Isle. And the lies he's been doing with Jack. "Sorry.." he said.

"Are you okay?" ask Tara.

"I'm fine..." Becca nodded softly without returning Ben and Tara's glared gazes looking at her.

"You sure? you seem to want to say something?" timpal Tara who certainly already understands the strange behavior of Becca.

"Nothing!" Becca decides to keep her story alone. But his two best friends still looked seriously at him, as if they did not believe his words.

"I'm really okay!" Becca insists.

"I'm not sure." Ben's response was disbelief.

"Tell me Becca, what are you hiding from us?" Tara urges.

"I told you there wasn't!" Becca insisting.

"You're not at all exciting. I came here to have fun." Tara showed a disappointed face. "Come on Ben, we better go home. Maybe Becca doesn't think of us as friends anymore" he continued, now speaking to Ben.

"You're right!" Ben followed Tara who was already standing and was about to walk towards the door.

"I met Richie at the Grand Isle!" Becca finally revealed what she wanted to talk about. Tara immediately turned around and again floated her butt up on Becca's mattress.

Unlike Ben, who looks completely uninspired when the name Richy called by Becca. His feelings were probably falling to the deepest bottom. Because now she knows, Becca hasn't forgotten Richy. But as a good friend, she chose to sit down and listen to Becca's story.

"What's going on?" tara asked, putting up her ears fine.

Becca told me everything from the beginning. He also tells about the lies he did with Jack. However, Becca keeps her kiss with Jack secret.

"Wait, wait! why do you have to pretend to be dating Jack?" Ben interrupts Becca's story.

"You're crazy, but you're a genius. Richy must have felt defeated, because you now have a girlfriend who is more handsome than him," Tara said as she folded her hands in front of her chest.

"No. He doesn't care at all..." Becca breathed. Clearly he showed a feeling of disappointment through his body language.

"Enough Becca!" Tara raised her tone. "I don't care about the lies you've made with Jack. What's clear is that if you haven't forgotten Richy, that's the saddest part!" he added while glancing at Ben who was suddenly silent.

Becca slowly lowered her head while playing her fingers for no reason. He was unable to interrupt the conclusion Tara had uttered. Because it is true that he has not forgotten Richy.

"Didn't you break up with her years ago? so during college, you never dated again because of Richy?" Tara's back. She can't believe Becca still hasn't forgotten her ex.

"I've tried. I even did everything I could to forget. But when I meet her again, my feelings always come back!" obviously Becca without looking at her two best friends. He also felt frustrated by the feelings he had towards Richy. But whatever the power, the heart of a man is very difficult to control. Especially about falling in love.

"I'm so sorry Becca..." Tara hugs Becca for calming. "I hope you can quickly forget Richy, and find a better man" he added, staring at Ben. It was as if giving a signal to the man.

Ben rounded his eyes and showed his mouth without a sound. He clearly said the word 'What?' from mouth. But Tara just moved her eyeballs towards Becca. He actually intended to urge Ben to act immediately. Or rather, seize Becca's heart as soon as possible.

"Maybe Ben can help you!" tara said as she let go of her embrace.

Becca who heard the voice stared in confusion. While Ben reflex widened his eyes, his cheeks slightly reddened.

"You mean?" becca asked not to understand.

"Ben, let's say it!" Tara looked at Ben. As a result, his best friend straightened his body.

"A-a-i..." Ben sounds hesitant. Next to his hand scratched the nape that did not itch.

"Come on, Ben!" press the impatient Tara.

"I'll make you fall in love, Becca!" said Ben in a quick tone. He let out a sigh of relief after being able to utter it. But Becca's expression just looked flat.

"Why aren't you surprised?" Tara looked at Becca in wonder.

"Of course not. There's been a lot of people trying to match me up with some guys, and Ben! it's hard to find a guy who fits me. It's better not to, after all, there are many fun activities that will make me forget about Richy!" said Becca, who seemed to understand Ben's words with different thoughts. She thought Ben would match her to another man.

"It's not so Becca, but-"

"Yes, maybe it's better for you, Becca!" Ben deliberately cut the sentence that Tara was about to say.

"Whatever!" muttered Tara while turning the lazy eyeball. At least he's trying his best to help Ben.

After being satisfied to tell each other, it did not feel like the day was getting late. I need Ben and Tara to go home. Both are now in the same car. Because Charlie, who was driving Tara, had left first.

"You're really stupid Ben. You actually have a lot of chances, why don't you just say it!" tara said while shaking in disbelief.

"It's Tara, and Becca still loves Richy. I want to take her heart slowly" Ben replied slowly.

"Huhhhh! I won't interfere from now on!" Tara raised both of her hands, a sign that she had given up.
