Not only the breeze of the night is left to hit. Silence is also a mediator of awkwardness that occurred since a few minutes ago. Veronica was completely confused by the man before her, she had spoken repeatedly, but Darren still did not want to make a sound. His sharp eye gaze did not shrink and that made him suddenly shudder in horror.
"Hm, are you having a toothache? Why have you been quiet since?" Veronica is back. I don't know, he doesn't know what happened to that guy. There was clearly anger tucked into the man's eyes.
"No." And once he spoke, Darren only answered briefly, of course making Veronica click her tongue.
It seems he has to suppress his frustration. If the man does not want to talk, let him do the talking.
"Why are you here?" tanyanya back.
Darren was a little in action hearing Veronica's strange question. Shouldn't he be at Black Lion's Club?
"What do you think the people at the Club are doing? Are they just hitchhiking?" Unexpectedly, Darren softly even though he was still tucked in his thin tone.
Veronica chuckled, only this time she heard Darren chiming in with a joke. Although flat as usual, but he felt if they were getting closer.
"Who knows you're just hitching a ride to the toilet." And he stuffed Darren's jokes with rarity.
Darren just clicked his tongue, then threw his gaze in the other direction. He remembered the man who had been with the woman since noon in Restaurant and even now they were together. His sight then returned to meet Veronica.
"Where's your boyfriend?"
Huh huh?
Darren's question left Veronica flabbergasted for a while. A boyfriend? What Darren thinks if he already has another lover. He must answer firmly if he does not have a lover. Just wanting to open her mouth, Veronica paused, as she wanted to tease Darren with another answer.
"He... Not boyfriend anymore."
One of Darren lifted, Veronica's reply outwitted her.
"Why not?" tanyanya back.
Veronica was silent for a moment, she gave a faint smile. "Didn't wanna be...?" And the meaning of his speech is to ask the question whether the man does not want to be his lover, because he has explained that he has not had a lover again since parting with Cade.
The woman stared expectantly at the answer Darren gave after he teased the man.
"Idiot....!!" sahut Darren is not completely confused with Veronica who can blatantly say so. If another man may have misunderstood the woman's intentions.
Predictably Darren's answer, Veronica just smiled, a smile that grew longer and longer to make Darren just shake his head.
"I thought you'd consider me." Still maintaining his smile.
"Yes, in your dreams." Despite answering ketus and cold, if noticed Darren's ears reddened. And Veronica caught it.
"You're ashamed, aren't you? Just tell me if you're embarrassed." Veronica unconsciously leaned closer to Darren, thus making the man reflexively distance himself.
"Ck, stop Miss. Don't talk so much." It seemed obvious if Darren felt unacceptable to the woman before him. Ck, embarrassed? What is he ashamed of?
Aware of his position that was not far from Darren, making the woman gasp for a moment. He looked carefully at Darren's handsome face, although he looked up slightly because the man was taller than him.
"Can I hold her? I'm almost crazy for wanting to hug her, but if I hug, I'm afraid of being pushed by her." Veronica wrestled with her inner self. He was eager to feel inside Darren's body.
Darren who was looking at Veronica suddenly silently stared in surprise. "What's wrong with her? Did he just have something?"
"Miss...." Darren's voice rang Veronica's daydream until the woman regained consciousness.
"Hm, can I hold you?" his great-grandson was either conscious or not.
Stupefied. That was Darren's reaction. The woman suddenly shut up, then suddenly also said she wanted to hug him.
"Are you okay?" Darren wants to make sure. The woman could have been a little drunk, so her speech was slurred. "I mean, are you drunk?"
"Eh, I'm fine. Why why?" Answering innocently, the woman blinked her eyes repeatedly.
"It's good if you're okay. Do you realize what you just said?" Whether forgotten or have become accustomed, lately Darren has rarely pinned the word 'Miss'.
Veronica's head nodded. Of course he was clearly aware. "Then how? Can I hug you?"
"Don't joke, Veronica!" Darren really felt uncomfortable. The woman was always successful in making him shudder inexhaustibly. No shame and awkwardness. Is there such a woman? There is and is real in front of him.
Veronica grimaced hearing Darren's tone suddenly rising. Moreover, the man emphasized his name without the frills 'Miss'. Is that the guy to her? thought.
"Ck, fine if you can't. Anyway, I was just kidding. And ah, I seem a little drunk." And the woman massaged her temple as if she was completely consumed by alcohol. He was actually just holding back the shame. Really he really could not keep his speech so just humiliated himself.
Hearing the word drunk, Darren observed the look on Veronica's face, indeed the woman's face was slightly flushed.
"The air's getting colder. Looks like I have to go back inside" Veronica said as she hugged both of her arms.
"Yes...." Just a short speech from Darren. Until then Veronica stepped in first, since earlier she hid her reddened face withstanding embarrassment. How not to be ashamed, if indirectly the man rejects it outright.
"Ah, you're from anywhere. I've been looking for you." Larry immediately grabbed Veronica's wrist. He ignored the man who was several steps behind Veronica. Larry knew the man, who was Mr. Arthur's assistant and confidant, so he didn't want to deal with such a man.
"I told you that if I answered a call from Leyla, there was no signal inside." Veronica rolled her eyes off guard, already knowing that she was saying goodbye, but Larry was still looking for her.
"Ck, does it have to be more than an hour?" larry insinuates. He knew exactly what Veronica was doing outside. Clearly he saw Veronica together with a man and spoke very familiarly. But he could not ask, because the man he saw was right behind his friend.
The second step further widened towards their table place. If Larry and Veronica turn right, then Darren keeps walking straight towards his seat with the others.
"Vero, my God, where have you been?" The smell of alcohol was evident in Veronica's sense of smell when Joana suddenly embraced her who had just immersed herself in a chair.
"Gosh, are you drunk, Joana? How much did you drink?" Highlight his eyes alternately staring at Joana's face and some empty bottles that were dumped on the table. "Ck, how come you're not drunk if you've been drinking that much?!" yells.
"Hey, I'm not drunk. I'm still a little aware of Vero dear." Yes, Joana was still very conscious, she was only a little dizzy but her consciousness was still awake. He will not be easily uprooted, considering he is a reliable drinker just like Veronica. "Ah, I just got acquainted with a handsome man. Isn't that right, Larry? That guy is more handsome than you, even the two of us drinking together," he added pointing to Larry.
"Hm...." Larry just nodded. Although it is true that Joana is acquainted with a foreign man but handsome, because it is spelled so filled by several bottles of drink. While he only drank a little, because he still had to drive a car and deliver the two women safely.
Veronica merely gave a smile, Joana is the type of woman who cannot ignore the handsome man who tries to approach her.
"Then did you meet him?" tanyanya. Veronica guesses that Joana not only got acquainted but also got the man's mobile number.
"Yes, I got acquainted and got his cell phone number." See, Joana's always moving fast.
"Well, you're amazing, Miss Joana. How many men are entangled in your charms, hm." Veronica seduces Joana while gulping down her drink.
Joana chuckles amusedly seduced like that. He unintentionally swept his gaze the other way and he found a sharp gaze drawn on their table at this moment.
"Oh my God, Vero, why is that guy staring this way?" his great-grandson was accompanied by a chin that pointed towards the object that was the center of his attention.
Both Veronica and Larry follow Joana's gaze, and Veronica is surprised to find that the look belongs to Darren.
"Gosh, is there anything with him? It hasn't stopped looking at me like that since, '" he murmured. The woman breaks eye contact with Darren.
And Larry, he's installing a reasonable flat. He leaned against Veronica, then whispered, "You owe me an explanation, Vero. What exactly is your relationship with him?"
"Ck, I have nothing to do with him, Larry. We only know each other" Veronica said.
"You think I'll believe." Larry smiled an understated smile. Long enough to know Veronica, of course, he knew the strange behavior of his friend.
"Ah, you're such a bitch, Larry." Veronica who had been caught off guard just patted Larry on the shoulder tight.
"We'd better get out of here. I'll take you to the apartment." Then Larry finished his drink in one gulp.
"Hm, I'm a little tired too. I want to lie down on my bed" Veronica told him of her current state.
"Then let me be company." And Larry teased the woman with his little bitterness.
"No!" Veronica said firmly. "Hey, Joana. Let's just go home, can you still stand up?" He patted Joana's arm repeatedly.
"Yes, I can stand up well." Then Joana got up from her chair, at first almost toppled but the woman managed to hold the balance of her body.
"Good, we gotta get home. I'm so tired already. I don't want to take care of you who's drunk here" Veronica grumbled to her feet.
"Yes, yes, you're such a fuss." Joana who is lazy to hear Veronica's voice, goes first, followed by Veronica and Larry.
While the departure of the three was witnessed by Darren who had not shifted his eyes from them, precisely only on Veronica his gaze was fixed.
"Der, drink this so that your mood is better." Austin thrusts a glass of alcoholic beverages right in front of Darren. "Women are hard to understand, right? Sometimes he wants to be understood and to be spoiled, but it is he himself who is confused."
Both of Darren's eyebrows were raised in listening to Austin's sudden chatter. "Who are you talking about?" tanyanya.
I don't know, this is the first time he's heard Austin complain about a woman. Usually the younger brother of his friend and boss was just busy with his own world, but he admitted that Austin was more sensitive than others.
"I'm not talking about anyone. I'm just guessing what you're thinking, "the object is staring at the hundreds of visitors before him.
"Ck, you turned your profession into a fortune teller apparently," Darren mocked.
Austin chuckles. He returned to drink his drink. Both of them dissolved with their respective minds by sipping a few bottles of drink. I don't know who got drunk first, both determined not to get drunk that fast.
