"Twenty minutes to go" said Alia. He watches the clock on his phone.
Daniel muttered little, continuing his work quietly. Alia was really here to make sure of her break. Daniel glanced at Alia who looked busy with a cell phone. It was rare to see Alia holding her phone for so long, considering that the woman had left her in just any place more often.
"Message from that guy?" ask Daniel. He tried to behave normally, but his tone remained tight.
Alia looked over at it briefly and then nodded. Only one man can make Daniel this simple. His finger moved stiffly as he typed the message on his phone. Alia very rarely exchanged messages, so her fingers were still not so agile.
"Isn't it rude to text you at night like this?"
Alia took a breath. "It is more impolite to leave people alone after being invited. Consider this an apology for her."
Kevin called this afternoon to talk about it. Kevin apologized for his insolent actions yesterday. Fear makes Alia angry. Alia herself is more worried that Kevin is offended because he just left her. They finally made an agreement by exchanging messages regularly, so as not to misunderstand each other's concerns.
"Is that guy so important? If it makes you uncomfortable, it's better to be left out, "sneaky Daniel.
"Name's Kevin. You are reluctant to call her name." Alia tries to avoid Daniel's question.
Alia's efforts to defend Kevin made Daniel feel uncomfortable. He closed his laptop and faced Alia fully.
"You really like it?" daniel asked coldly.
Alia came to face Daniel, a little trepidation stared at that sharp. The dark blue eyes that often looked at him gently now emitted anger and other things that Alia did not know. "Call 'Sister'," he tweeted.
"Is that important now? Answer my question," press Daniel.
"Ti-haven't. Not yet at this time. But it's gonna be -"
"Why are you so determined to defend that man? Just like it, no." Daniel is still in the stage of being able to control his speech, but for Alia, he is now very scary.
Alia bit her lips and lowered her head. A new message from Kevin that goes into his phone further messes up Alia's feelings. "Can we talk later, Daniel?"
"No. We'll finish it now." Daniel shook his head firmly and took Alia's phone. "Why are you so desperate to try to like it?"
Alia did not want to discuss about this because she herself was very embarrassed to admit it. "Give me the phone."
"Jawab, Alia."
"You've been insolent, Daniel. Stop this." Stop it." Alia pretends to be angry so Daniel can let her go.
"A-LI-A RE-DA-LI-A." Daniel has no intention of giving up. "Java."
Alia let out a heavy sigh, knowing that she no longer had any gaps. "Silent despair. It's so embarrassing, no adult woman likes to talk about this. Kevin's the only guy who dares to approach your brother. There's no way Big Brother has missed a serious man like him either."
Alia's face was completely red from embarrassment. He tried to cover it with both hands.
Daniel was still staring. He almost failed to maintain his serious face. Alia's embarrassed expression made her palpitate back. "That's not a good reason to keep Kevin afloat."
Alia breathed a heavy sigh. "You're right. It's not fair to him. But this matter will be resolved if Brother likes it too."
"Why is this so hard? Kevin's not the only guy who likes you."
"Sister's age is twenty-six this year. It's not that easy to get a guy who really likes you. There's no more." Alia begins to regret being too apathetic towards the surrounding romantic environment. He even had to use Kevin like this. Alia felt like the most evil person in the world.
Daniel is right, not a good reason to keep Kevin like this. There was no guarantee that Alia's feelings would be skewed towards the man. What if he ended up just giving her false hope?
"There are still people who love you."
Alia looked over with a look of disbelief. "Don't comfort Brother with a wreath like this. Who loves you but Kevin?"
"I."
Alia frowned. "You understand what this conversation means, don't you, Daniel? Romantic love, not sauda-between love"
"I love you, Alia." Daniel did not stare at Alia as sharply as before, but his face showed incredible seriousness. His ears and face began to slowly turn red. "Not as my brother. It's a man's love for a woman."
Alia felt something was wrong with her hearing. But that was impossible because Daniel's words were so clear. "You don't mess around."
Alia's heart stopped for a moment. He never doubted Daniel's words. But what is this? Did his sister just declare love to him? Alia feels like the stupidest person in the world. Only now did he notice the intent of Daniel's gaze. The same look he received from Kevin. Even deeper than that.
Alia held her head, feeling dizzy instantly. He shook his head softly, rejecting every thought and flash of the past days in which Daniel approached him. "No. You're not serious about this."
Alia stood up from her chair with her legs together, like gelatin. The statement clearly surprised him. "Give back the phone" said Alia.
Daniel was still sitting quietly, looking at Alia's hand that was outstretched at him.
Alia's eyes widened as Daniel suddenly jerked her hand, pulling Alia to the point of almost hitting the man. Alia restrained herself by holding on to Daniel's shoulders. However, as if not enough, Daniel took off his grip on Alia's hand and moved it to the woman's waist.
One hand of Daniel held Alia's head back. He pulled Alia closer. When the distance of their faces was only a few inches, Daniel took all his clumsiness to unite their lips.
Both hearts were racing fast. For those who are just doing this kiss for the first time, it takes a moment to wake up. Alia who never thought Daniel would do this was still overwhelmed by shock.
Daniel was conscious. He was half-drowned in the mud. Better to completely throw yourself out. Daniel very slowly sipped on Alia's lower lip. He closed his eyes, letting his male instincts take over. His whole mind was filled with one question. How could Alia's lips give such a sweet taste and amazing sting like this?
Alia regained her senses as Daniel strengthened his grip on Alia's waist. Forcing him to sit on Daniel's lap. Alia was surprised not to play. Their position is very close. No, instead of thinking about this, aren't they doing 'it'?
Re-alignment to Alia. He tried to push Daniel, but the man held him back. Alia clasped Daniel's shoulder as she felt Daniel's tongue trying to slip past her lips. What can Alia do to escape?
Anyway, she's a grown woman. Alia was afraid of being lulled by Daniel who treated her first kiss so gently. On the one hand, he didn't want to hurt Daniel. Alia finally gave a small bite to Daniel's lips. However, his hesitation made the bite not so strong and instead impressed to play around.
But it worked enough. Daniel was stinged by it and distanced his face.
Alia and Daniel are both racing to scavenge oxygen around. Both of them were panting with the same face flushed.
"Now," whispered the sensual-sounding Daniel. Daniel's hoarse and heavy voice made him sound sexy.
Alia pushed and revolted with all her might as Daniel was about to continue their kiss. He managed to escape even though his waist to hit Daniel's table. Alia covered her rosy lips with eyes glaring full of anger.
"You're crazy! What are you thinking?!" shout Alia. He knew it was quite late, but with complete awareness like this, his anger gathered.
"Alia," call Daniel.
"Sir Alia!" Alia corrected while panting. He felt so much anger that he had trouble breathing. "Call me Brother! I'm your brother!"
Daniel stood up from his chair, trying to get closer. But his actions made Alia retreat quickly.
"Don't go any further than that!" alia's orders.
Daniel took a breath. He wanted to advance at a fast pace and reach for Alia before the woman moved away. But seeing Alia who was so wary of him made Daniel undo the intention. He did not want Alia to be afraid or worse, hate him for this.
"Actually where's the fault?" Alia held her head back in pain. "How come you think that way."
"Al-"
"Sorry and tell me you're just playing around. Brother will forgive you if you do." Alia kept moving backwards.
Daniel remained silent. Strictly he shook his head. Giving an answer that made Alia's knee relax.
"I'm not lying with my feelings. I do love you. It's not a joke or anything." Daniel can't stand being quiet. He stepped forward towards Alia who was already right at the door.
"Sister will hate you so much if you catch up with Brother later. Clear your mind and don't talk crazy like this anymore." Alia pointed at Daniel, Only then with trembling hands did she open the door of the room and run out. Leaving Daniel alone.
Daniel could not catch up with Alia because of her words. He finally just held his head and stared at the cake and tea on his cold table. He threw his body in the chair, rethinking what had happened.
"Ah, I am indeed jealous," muttered Daniel a little frustrated. He could not resist the heat of his heart earlier and instead ended up expressing all his feelings. Really far from his original plan who wanted to keep it.
Daniel can make sure Alia's anger is at its peak. Third stage, maybe. But for one thing, Daniel thinks it's worth it.
Alia's anger and sweet lips are really worth it.
Daniel gave a small smile, reminiscing about the tragedy of the kiss a moment ago.
"What's wrong, a little bit of trouble isn't so bad either."
