The Story Behind the Curtain
Precious Smile

Erli stepped over to Xavier who was standing by the door.

“What's up?”

“I want to talk to you four eyes,” said Erli with his head bowed.

All the students cheered at the two people standing close together.

“Hu ... Apparently there is a new couple in this semester!” The cheering sounds of the students echoed in the hallways of the campus.

Erli walked quickly while pulling Xavier's hand, again the cheers sounded to make the young man smile thinly and he also did not expect the campus flowers to hold his hand.

“What do you want to discuss?” ask Xavier flat.

“Can we talk there?” Erli's index finger leads to the park bench.

The tall young man started their steps and he sat down at the end of the bench.

“Can I ask you something?” erli lirih said.

“iya please,” Xavier said with a wistful look.

Erli squeezed the skirt he was wearing and the girl moved hesitantly.

“Why did you avoid me? Xavier, I tried to talk to you and you left me. That's so insulting to me!” said Erli with narrowed eyes.

“Listen Erli! I never intended to insult you at all. I just don't want to make your sister angry and I don't want to fight with her just because of you, you understand!” xavier said, turning his face away.

Erli looked at the astonished young man who had moved from his seat.

“Is that the only reason you're avoiding me? Can't we be friends?”

“Do you really want to know the truth?” Xavier stood his back to Erli.

“Yes, I want to know the truth!” Erli tilted his head trying to see Xavier's face.

“You're so beautiful Erli and you're so alluring, there's something inside of you that draws me to you. Can't you imagine how interested I am in you?” added Xavier, “after our first meeting, you were on my mind. When I am with you, I cannot help myself. That's what I'm afraid of! So ... would be better if we stayed away from each other.”

Xavier unfolds his feelings while away from Erli, but his footsteps are stopped and the young man turns to look at Erli who is still glued in the middle of the campus garden.

“And one more thing, you look amazing in blue. Coincidentally it's my favorite color,” Xavier said with a smile.

Erli was dumbstruck at Xavier's words, the girl couldn't believe what she had just heard. To convince himself, he pinched his own hand.

“Aargh, sick! S-so this isn't a dream? Is he really interested in me? Just be right. I'm just a country girl,” she said hesitantly, she didn't expect that Xavier had any feelings for her.

The cute girl pranced with excitement after realizing her feelings for the most popular young man on campus. Erli felt she was a lucky girl who could conquer the heart Every day Erli wore a blue suit. Yes, Xavier's favorite color and it was intentional for Xavier to pay more attention to it.

Erli and Xavier's friendship is getting closer and now they have a love affair. The relationship that quickly intertwined was entering the third month, Xavier invited Erli to eat at a famous restaurant to celebrate the hundredth day.

While enjoying dinner. Xavier asked Erli's promise last month when they celebrated sixty days of being the girl's lovers choking on the food he swallowed\ Erli's facial expression changed because of Xavier's question.

“You're okay ‘kan, Babe?” ask Xavier while offering a glass of water.

Hurriedly the girl sipped the water and Eri's eyes churned, how confused the cute girl was at the moment, she was completely unable to answer the lover's question. He thought Xavier had forgotten his promise at the time.

Xavier's eyes rounded as he looked at the lover, “Don't say you forgot the promise you made;”

“T-of course not. I remember it! I must have kept it,” he said nervously.

Xavier smiled broadly at the words from the lover, and in a hurry Xavier finished his meal. After devouring the last mouthful, Xavier grabbed the phone he had in his suit pocket.

Erli ventured to ask his girlfriend a question, “Should we do that now, Babe? I-I'm scared!” erli's countenance looked very worried and the girl's forehead shriveled.

“What are you afraid of? Don't tell me you don't believe me!” xavier asked with eyes rolling.

“T-not like that. Not what I mean--,” Erli's words came to a halt as the restaurant waiter stood before them.

Xavier paid for all the food bills they ordered and the young man shook his left hand.

“Then, what are you afraid of? I'm a gentleman. Aahs ... Never mind, forget everything and get out of here!” Xavier spoke in a high tone and he kicked Erli out from before him.

Erli clasped Xavier's hand and he tried to convince his girlfriend.

“I'm sorry, please don't be angry! Whatever you want I will do,” Erli said in a haunting voice.

Xavier's facial expression changed, the smile re-emitting on his lips.

“Promise won't dodge anymore!” Xavier kissed the back of Erli's hand.

The girl nodded while smiling a sweet smile. Xavier grabs Erli's bag and holds Erli by the hand, after exiting the restaurant they both boarded a car that had been parked in front of the restaurant a few minutes ago.

The car was traveling at medium speed, along the way no stop Xavier kissed Erli's hands and shoulders. Erli wanted to feel angry and slap Xavier's cheek, but he always held back for fear that his lover would break up with him.

After walking for almost an hour, the black car turned into a large villa.

“My parents bought me this villa. Good isn't it?” Xavier embraces Erli's shoulder.

“Hmm, very good. So what are we going to do here Babe?” Erli swung the bag he was carrying.

Xavier pinched Erli's chin and smiled, “Surely have fun Dear.”

The rich man approached the driver. “As usual, Sir,” said Xavier while raising both eyebrows.

Private driver Xavier came out and ran into the villa, Erli looked in wonder at the middle-aged man who had just passed before him.

“Where is he going?”

“You prepared something spectacular. I guarantee you will be very happy tonight, the whole world will come to witness the perfection of our love.” Xavier closed Erli's eyes with a red handkerchief.

Step by step they enter and while climbing the stairs. Erli clasped his lover's fingers tightly, occasionally asking Xavier.

“Can I open this cover?”

“Not yet, Honey!” xavier whispers in Erli's ear.

“It should be a while longer that I wear this?” moo Erli.

“In a minute, watch his feet!” Xavier commemorates Erli.

Xavier hugged the body of the lover, upon arrival at the balcony Erli blindfold was opened. Slowly Erli's eyelids open, the LED light perfects the landscape of the villa's striped garden.

the girl stared in admiration at the lover and hugged Xavier.

"Thank you,” Erli said as he kissed Xavier's cheek.

“Can we start now?” ask with a squeaky eye.

“Hah ...” Erli was wide-eyed after hearing those words.
