THE BAD BOY OF MANHATTAN
Chapter 72. Fucking Gimmick.

SKYLABS, MANHATTANS.

Lily who had just entered the living room of the studio smiled at Elric who was sitting while tuning a classical acoustic guitar. He approached the young man and sat down next to him.

"Hi, Lily ...." Elric glanced at the short-haired girl with the tall bangs.

"Hi, Elric, how are you?" Lily noticed Elric's skillful fingers twisting the tuning page of her guitar. "Acoustic guitar?" tanyanya.

Elric chuckles. "It's not mine. It belongs to Skylab. Look, classic, right?" He showed a dark brown guitar from a famous brand.

"I've got one, but .. the latest model."

"Oh yeah? But, the shortcomings of the acoustic guitar today is, the classic tone is lost. Classic guitar, sexy voice, no tricks, just you and the majesty of your fingers" Elric chuckled.

Lily wettest. "Agreed (agreed). Unfortunately, my fingers are not as good as yours. Maybe I should study again."

Elric finished tuning the strings on the body of Martin the famous guitar brand, then tested his voice. He was happy. "So sexy (so sexy)." Sesexi Emma as they spend the night together. Her lips put on a big smile.

"Come on, play me a song (play for me a song)," Lily pinta enthusiastically.

Elric chuckled again. "What song do you want? I don't know many mainstream songs."

"Hmmm ...." Lily stroked her beard. "Because it's a classical guitar, just play one classic song. Anything." anything."

"Nurus ...." Elric started playing Bach's cello suite number one. Neat with his fingers that jump to and fro perfectly.

"Can I record the video?" ask Lily on the sidelines of Elric's guitar.

"Sure," said Elric. He was still focused on his complicated tone.

Lily pulled out her phone and started taking selfies of herself and Elric behind her playing the guitar. The girl commented a big smile while slightly leaning her back on Elric's shoulder. While the young man only turned his head towards the camera once and smiled at a glance.

After taking the video, Lily immediately posted it to her social media account by pinning the post; guess who is it ( Guess who this is)!

"Thanks, Elric," said Lily happily. "You made my day (you made me happy)."

"You're welcome." Elric nodded.

Lily got up from her seat and grabbed her sling bag, getting ready to leave. "Can we hang out, sometime?" ask the girl to be brave.

"We meet here often and talk often." Elric rejected Lily smooth. After all there was nothing important to talk about with the girl. Meeting accidentally on SkyLab and chatting soberly was enough for him.

Lily smiled wryly. "All right, see you, Elric." He waved at Elric before finally passing from the room.

Emma, I'm going home late.

That's the message Elric sent to Emma hours ago. However, until finishing mixing and mastering one of the songs for Bad Boy Of Manhattan's debut album with her friends and a Skylab sound engineer, Emma had not responded to the message. And it's two in the morning.

"You don't want to sleep here?" darren asked as he saw Elric getting ready to go home.

"No. Someone is waiting for me" said Elric while chuckling.

"Aaah, I see," Darren said as he nodded. "My greetings to Emma" she said.

Elric. "See you, Darren." He grabbed his bag and rushed out of the studio.

Outside, he immediately orders a taxi and can't wait to see Emma. There was a hint of worry in his heart considering that the girl did not answer his message. It's not like usual. There's no way Emma hasn't checked her phone that long.

"Emma, are you asleep?" call Elric while knocking on the door. There's no answer. He pressed the door handle, but it was locked. He knocked on the door and called out the name of his lover.

After a few minutes of no response, Elric decided to call the girl. And he heard the sound of mobile phone vibrations from inside the room. It means the girl is there.

"Dome!" In a slightly loud voice Elric called the girl back. "Why did you lock the door?" tanyakanya. "Emma! Hey, Emma!"

Moments later, she heard Emma dragging her steps towards the door, then opened it. Her face appeared.

"Hello?" greet Elric chuckled. "Why lock the door?"

"You have your own room!" emma ketus.

"Wait, wait. Didn't we agree to use only one room?"

"Not tonight (not tonight)!" Emma was about to close the door but Elric immediately held her back.

"What's this?" ask Elric in astonishment. "And why don't you return my message?"

"You think for yourself!" Emma turned her body and dropped her body on the bed, then inching towards the wall while pulling the blanket.

"Hey, hey .. are you angry? What ... did I make a mistake?" Elric pulls out the blanket covering Emma's body, but the girl recaptures it.

"I don't want to talk to you!" murmur Emma.

"What?! Elric raised both eyebrows. "What the hell is going on? I really don't know anything? Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?"

Emma clucked. He really didn't want to talk to his girlfriend. He was upset instead of playing when accidentally surfing on one of the booming social media applications, and the figure of Elric was seen in the trending feed, he said, along with the girl who was meeting them at Central Park. The new singer is named Lily Boyd. What made his heart ache was, reading the comments from the girl's fans. Almost everyone says they are fit to be lovers.

"Emmaaa ..," persuaded Elric to stroke Emma's arm under the blanket. "What's my fault?"

"What do you have to do with Lily Boyd?" Eventually, the question escaped Emma's mouth.

"Owh." Elric scratched his head while smiling widely. He understands what's happening. Lily must have posted their video this afternoon to the girl's social media account. "She's just a friend (she's just an ordinary friend)."

"You have so much support for being lovers!"

"So what, who cares (then why, who cares)."

"I care (i care)!" exclaim Emma upset.

Elric jumped behind Emma and hugged the girl tightly. "No matter what, Emma. You know, no, I just like you."

"You will find many temptations. I don't know if I'll be able to take it." Emma is feeling a severe crisis of confidence right now. Just imagine, the rival is Lily Boyd, a girl full of talent, the daughter of a Brandon and Mia Boyd, the retainer of the top band Funeralopolis.

Elric giggles. "Ahead here!" her door.

"No way!"

"Mrsl ...."

Emma breathed heavily. Lazily he turned his body to face his lover. To be honest, he felt ashamed to have to act like this. He looks like a teenager who is blindly jealous. He feels childish. But, what can I do. He was so jealous.

"I love you ..," said Elric, as he kissed Emma's lips softly.
