Together but not the same
Episode 3: Party

"Tomorrow the night there'll be a party from the company, I want you to accompany me dear." Xavier handed him a card.

"Use this to buy clothes or even to the salon. You're free to wear it."

Ara took the card that Xavier had thrust. "thank you. I have to go to the salon tomorrow, I don't want to lose to those women" Ara said resentfully.

"However they are, or as interesting as they are. I just love you, baby. You don't have to worry about that" Xavier tries to convince Ara, even if the women are naked in front of him, he won't be interested in it. He only loved one Ara.

"Stay, I don't want to lose" said Ara kekeh with her stance. Ara also did not want to make Xavier embarrassed by his simple appearance later. No, he doesn't want that.

"Alright, I'll pick you up tomorrow at eight o'clock, I'll be home. See you tomorrow night, dear."

After Xavier's invisible Ara rushes to sleep, he doesn't want an eye bag tomorrow, it will make his appearance look bad.

*****

Night had arrived and Ara was still dizzy thinking about which dress she should wear.

"I really don't know which one suits me" Ara had already tried out all the dresses she had bought earlier this afternoon. But before Ara gave up she saw all the dresses that caught her attention. Looks like he missed one.

Ara took the dress "It looks like this one dress will make me much more charming and beautiful, I'll try this one alone"

The dress was dark gray, with long closed eyes, but was armed off shoulder so that it displayed a luxurious and graceful impression.

Ara also bought high heels shoes as a blend that will make her look perfect. If it was like this there would be no woman who could defeat him at that party. Indeed, confidence is very important.

Ara looked at herself in the mirror, She had no wrong choice. But he must leave immediately, because Xavier must have been waiting for him.

Parked Ara sees Xavier leaning on his car, Xavier looks many times more handsome now, he is wearing a black shirt with a navi-colored suit, combined with a similar tie. Coupled with the relaxed quiff hairstyle that an Xavier many times flash was much more handsome.

Ara who saw that so did not want to go to the party. He did not want the women to see and tease his lover. Only one can.

But his daydreams ran out when Xavier said, "I know I'm good-looking, baby, you can look at me as much as you're happy, but now we have to go. If you don't want to be late for the party." Xavier opened the car door and let Ara in.

Ara's cheeks were already reddened, having been discovered. But wait, for what he should be ashamed, he even willing if he had to look at his lover all night.

Xavier walked around the car, getting into the steering wheel. He put a seatbelt on Ara and started driving his car through the crowded streets of New York City.

*****

Ara repeatedly had to catch her breath when the car that was carrying her and Xavier had arrived in front of the hotel where the event was taking place, she was very nervous now.

"Darling, do I look beautiful now? I'm nervous about being embarrassed there, too."

"Why you're afraid, listen to me. You're so beautiful tonight, baby, even more beautiful. Raise your head, the crown of the queen must not fall. Remember, you're Xavier Julian Baxy's lover, no one will dare to make fun of you. Now let's go down."

Ara holding Xavier's hand, it felt like her heart was going to explode now, her courage as well as her confidence was lost instantly. But he must prove that a lover of an Xavier will never be afraid of people's views.

After they entered, the women's eyes looked at Xavier with longing gazes. Ara was eager to scout the women, and said that Xavier was hers, so dispel the delusion.

But not a few men also looked at Ara with amazed gazes, some even blatantly looked at Xavier's lover with a hungry look. Xavier was eager to close all eyes staring at his lover. And if he could he would have to close those eyes forever. He should have told Ara to dress modestly. The rice has become porridge.

"I'm going to go say hello to my business colleagues, you can sit here baby, but remember don't go anywhere, I don't want those guys to bother you."

Ara simply nodded in response.

"If you want to drink, just ask for water. I don't want you to get drunk later, do you understand baby?"

"All right now go, I'm not papa. I'll be fine." said Ara with a little push Xavier. He's not a kid who gets lost in a party when left alone.

Ara looked at the array of sweet foods there, she got hungry. Come on just to look perfect, he forgot to eat because he was busy shopping also to the salon.

Ara took a piece of cake there, then ate it. It was delicious, but he was so thirsty, he called for the servant who passed by, but before the servant reached him. The tray that the waiter carried fell on him, as a result of which the drink brought by the waiter spilled on his dress.

"I'm really sorry, miss, I'll help you clean it up" said the waiter frantically, Hell he won't be able to change the dress, his one-year salary might not be enough to replace it.

"No need, I'll clean it myself, show me where the toilet is."

The waiter pointed to the toilet and apologized many times.

Ara was not a vengeful person, she also knew that the servant accidentally dropped her.

Ara enters the toilet, then cleans the dress.it is impossible to return to the party with this appearance, he will contact Xavier and say if he will go home first. But before he could take his cell phone, he was pushed by someone.

"Are you the woman that Xavier paid to accompany him tonight, how much did he pay you?" said the woman angrily.

"I'm not that kind of woman you know, and I'm Xavier's girlfriend. So please step aside, I have to go." Ara tried to leave but her hair was pulled tight, then her body was pushed into the sink, her arm was hit hard, it was very painful and also it would definitely be swollen tomorrow, she thought.

"If you weren't that kind of woman, you wouldn't have gone to this party with her. Do you know if I was her lover, even we haven't ended our relationship until now. And you boldly said that Xavier was your lover. You must be taught a lesson."

PLAQUES

The woman slapped her cheek tightly, It looks like the tip of Ara's lips is bleeding, her head is also sore, she wants to fight but to stand alone she is unable to. Her legs are limp.

"You must remember, stay away from Xavier before I do any further. Do you understand." said the woman then passed away from the toilet leaving Ara alone with a concerned appearance.

Torn lips, bruised hands, and messy hair. Oh don't forget the dirty dress.

"May no one see me, I don't want to make Xavier ashamed later." Ara tried her hardest to get up, she had to go home right now.

Meanwhile, in the party, Xavier has been looking for Ara all over the place but he did not find Ara, he was afraid Ara why-why. He had already contacted Ara, but Ara did not pick up her phone.

"Xavier, are you looking for me?"

"Go Gita, I don't want to see you." Xavier doesn't care about the woman named Gita, he has to find Ara now.

"Are you looking for that woman?" asked Gita in a mocking tone.

Hearing Gita's words saying that the woman, Pun makes Xavier turn his body to face Gita.

"Who do you mean that woman?"

Gita steps beside Xavier, then whispers "Who else, if not the woman you brought to this party. Oh, you know the woman you paid to accompany you?" gita was surprised.

Xavier heard it was instantly furious, His emotions were completely exhausted, Ara disappeared and this shameless woman instead insulted her lover.

"What did you do to my girlfriend?" his hands were already itching to strangle this woman in front of him, He would not let this woman do anything to her lover.

"I only taught him a little lesson, for he has dared to approach you. I'm your lover Xavier did you forget. You even brought another woman to this party." said the woman angrily.

Xavier smiled displaying his smirk

"And have you forgotten, if you betrayed me in the past, I have no relationship with you. And who I'm here with, it's none of your business."

Xavier drew closer to the woman and whispered "If you hurt my girlfriend again, you'll know the consequences."

After Xavier said that, he rushed to the car park, he had to get to Ara's apartment immediately and make sure that Ara was okay.
