The Choise
Asexuality

"How much have you been drinking lately?"

Eve stopped her fifth glass as the voice interrupted. Although he had only met once, Eve already knew the owner of the voice. He only glanced briefly and continued drinking.

Niel slashed his sixth glass before touching his lips and gulping it up.

"What do you want?" flat Eve's.

"So he's that lousy," said Niel smiling sarcastically, "i'm more handsome and richer than him, but you're rejecting me."

Yes, Eve did reject her decision that night and Lavelle's family agreed to it, different when matching Andrea who needed long thought and debate.

"You heard Lucio, right? Lucia told you too, even you yourself said I suck at relationships!" press Eve still with a flat look, "then what do you expect?"

"I can make you feel love."

Eve smiled faintly, "you don't know anything about me." Eve stood up after saying so. Previously he had put several pieces of money in a glass.

Outside, Eve pensively stared at the torrent of rain. What a fucking day!

Eve intended to break through considering the position of her car was not too far from there, but the little boy carrying an umbrella ran towards her.

"Excuse me, Miss?"

"Lavelle," said Eve.

"Miss. Lavelle! You need an umbrella ride? Just pay 5 cents." He showed his five fingers.

"You're running around in the rain and getting drenched for this?" Eve never thought of seeing it. The boy's body was already shaking.

The boy nodded excitedly, "i can earn money with this."

Eve fell silent. Maybe it's a bad day for him, but a source of happiness for this boy.

"You can get sick."

"No problem, I can hold it."

"Where are your parents?"

The boy shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know, but there's a caretaker taking care of it."

"Replace?" The boy nodded.

One other unlucky kid. Eve sighed softly and took off her coat.

"Go home, I'll pay more for today's income. How's it?"

"Really?!" The boy shone.

"Really," Eve answered, starting to attach her coat to the boy.

"You can get cold if you give it to me, Miss."

"I'm sultry!"

Eve led the boy before speaking again to her car with an umbrella. Eve grabbed the small body nearby so as not to be exposed to enough heavy rain and carried it into the car.

"I'll drive you home. When you shower with warm water. Tell your manager." The boy nodded obediently.

"Thank you's. You're so good! The manager said someone like you would be lucky! I've been good, that's why I met you. You'll also be like me later because it's good" he said during the trip.

"Your mouth is so sweet. Don't tease a lot of women in the future."

"No will! I'll tease one woman."

Eve could not help smiling anymore. You guys, since childhood, have been good at talking.

Eve was silent after seeing the reflection of her mother coming in from the mirror of her dresser. He was busy drying his wet hair.

Amy sat down on the side of the bed facing him.

"How was the meeting with Lucio today?"

"I don't need to explain, do I?" flat Eve's.

Amy sighed softly, "i think she'll fit in," he murmured.

"Maybe he's a match for others, but not with me." Eve began to polish her face with a series of nights.

Amy sprawled her body into the ceiling of her daughter's room. He almost gave up if he didn't remember this girl needed someone. Lucio is the third and longest-serving candidate with Eve. He thought it would work, it looked the same!

Amy wakes up when she remembers someone.

"Forget it!" answer Eve without thinking.

"But—"

"Mom, stop it here. I told you nothing would work."

"Then don't get too close to Lucia."

Eve rolled her puffed-up eyes. "I'm not a lesbian, Mom! Just give up."

Amy shook her head strongly. He won't give up!

"I can definitely find a suitable one!" Amy speaks for herself, but is heard by Eve.

"Mom!"

"Have a rest" said Amy. After leaving one kiss on Eve's face, the woman sauntered out.

Amy kept turning her head during her descent down the stairs, not realizing that Andrea was following with a pouting face in the back.

"Did Eve experience asexuality?" Andrea overheard the conversation of her mother and sister.

The shocked Amy instantly shut her daughter's mouth with annoyed glaring eyes.

"Be careful with your words!"

"Is that true?"

Amy is shocked by Daniela's presence. Their position was now standing in the middle of the stairs with Amy in the middle.

"May I go crazy!" Amy ruffled her hair.

"So right? That's why you didn't suggest Eve to me" insisted Daniela.

"It's just fine that Mom never forced Eve to get married" Andrea grumbled.

"Of course not! Daughter normal!" Amy's patience is over.

Eve watched the small showdown from her door. No comment from him. It doesn't matter what people consider it either. Eve shut the door not wanting to see again.

Asexual? It can be considered that way, it can not be. From the age of sixteen, Eve began to realize that she had no interest in the opposite sex. Starting from the physical or the feeling.

But that doesn't mean he can't be in a relationship with someone. It's just a non-romantic relationship. However some men who go through such a relationship with him will not last long. That's what he and Lucio are going through now.

Her parents knew about it, which is why Amy tried to get her to have a boyfriend hoping that she would have a sense of interest later on.

He was twenty-five years old. Amy's worried that she won't have at least a sense of love for someone.

"Geev!" Andrea knocked without stopping.

Eve lazily got up from her bed and displayed her mainstay flat face.

"You broke up with Lucio?"

"Hm."

"He left you too?!"

"Hm."

"That means you agree with Niel?"

"Hm."

"Yes?!" peekkik Andrea's.

Hm? Eve began to realize her stupidity.

"No! Go to your room. Don't bother me." Pushing Andrea out.

"But Daniela and mom are talking about engagement. If not you, then I! But Niel will choose you" he chanted amid the encouragement of his older brother.

"He chose me or he chose you I don't care. You and I just refused. Go!" Brakk! Eve closed the door before Andrea spoke again.

Eve dropped her body on the bed violently and closed her eyes. Not long after, his phone rang. Eve raised without seeing the name listed.

"It seems I have to get used to sleeping with the lights on from now on" said someone on the other end.

Eve closed her eyes tightly, restraining the rising anger. Can't he calm down today?

"There's no sound? Did I talk to a ghost?"

"Please take it!" ketus Eve shut off the unilateral call.

Wow, very brave. If it was someone else, it was certain that his life would end today as well.

Niel kept his phone and put both his hands into his pants pocket while standing leaning on his car. He smiled at the window on the second floor where Eve's room was.
