Before you go

Alexa was silent, glancing at Melvin who continued to reassure her. She leaned her back against the sofa, bent her face, and fiddled with her fingers again. "What time are you leaving?" she asked.

"Probably around eleven o'clock," said Melvin, then glanced at his watch, which said it was nine o'clock. "There's still time for us alone here," he said with a smile.

Alexa just nodded. Melvin glanced around as if he was trying to find something but he glanced back at Alexa.

"Is there no TV here?" he asked.

"Yes, but I don't like watching TV," Alexa answered flatly.

"How about we watch a movie on a laptop? You must have a laptop, right?" Melvin asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I have," Alexa replied then got up from the sofa. "I'll take a moment," she continued then walked towards the room.

While waiting for Alexa, who took a laptop, Marvin tried to contact someone, while Alexa, who had arrived at the room, got a call from Gea.

"Gea, why didn't you wake me up when Melvin came?" asked Alexa when she was connected to Gea.

"I almost woke you up but he told me not to," Gea explained over the phone. Her voice sounded less clear because the atmosphere there sounded very noisy. "What did he do to make you so angry?"

"He sleeps with me!" Alexa answered curtly as she took her laptop which was in her briefcase. "I feel guilty to myself, to God, to my parents ... because I have slept with a man who is not my husband ... and I am also very ashamed that I hugged him ..."

"Hahaha...you guys slept together and you hugged him, hahaha!" Gea even laughed sounded loud.

"Gea, this isn't a joke!"

"Yeah I know you're still too innocent, and this must have been very shocking. But I'm amused at what happened to you guys. Where is he now?"

Alexa took a deep breath and then sat on the edge of the bed holding her laptop. "He's still in the living room waiting for me. He wants us to watch a movie together before he comes home and is going away," she said wearily.

"Ouch, that must be so sad!!"

"I'm worried If he leaves and will never come here again... Because I'm not sure of his love yet... it's all so sudden, too fast... even feels weird."

"Nothing strange, Alexa. you are a beautiful and kind girl even you are very compatible when you are beside her, even though you look very short, hahaha...!" Gea laughed again.

"You laugh at me while I'm so afraid of experiencing a heartbreak," Alexa mumbled sadly.

"Sorry, Alexa, I can't say much because I have to work soon, but I will remind you now that you just need to have fun. Forget your fears, your doubts, and feel the beauty of being in love with him and make him truly love you, comfortable around you. I'm sure he will never leave you after tonight or ever. you attract you have to be sure of it."

"I'll try," Alexa said sadly.

"Okay then, I'll turn off the phone. And remember that you have to take advantage of the situation and not be too scared. as long as he is being good, then think positively because maybe his intentions are good." Gea exclaimed looking very wise but she is very stubborn. This means that bad is not always bad.

"Yes, Gea, thanks for the advice," said Alexa, then the phone line was cut off. She immediately got out of bed, took her laptop into the living room, and saw Melvin who seemed to have just finished calling someone.

"What took so long?" Melvin asked welcoming Alexa who immediately sat on the sofa.

"Eh, Gea just called me," Alexa replied with a warm smile, trying to dispel the restlessness in her heart. She immediately turned on her laptop while Melvin sat on her right.

"Actually, what is Gea's job? why is she leaving at this time of night?" asked Melvin looking at Alexa who was browsing looking for a movie on a platform.

"She's a DJ," Alexa replied.

"No wonder," Melvin mumbled remembering that Gea had said that her boyfriend had a wife.

"You mean?" Alexa doesn't understand.

"I've heard her say her boyfriend has a wife. That means she's naughty and has been someone's husband's mistress all along," explained Melvin.

Alexa put a smile on her lips. "Yeah ... that's true," she said.

"So she's naughty?"

Alexa turned to look at Melvin then put her pinky finger towards Melvin's face. "This will be our secret?"

"Yes of course." Melvin smiled linking his little finger with Alexa's.

Alexa smiled and looked back at her laptop which was still loading to play the movie of her choice. "The man who became Gea's lover is Mrs. Siska's husband."

"Really?" Melvin looked surprised. "How can it be?"

"I don't know, I didn't think so at first..but I chose to be silent and let it all happen because it's none of my business.."

"I hope you're not like her and don't let there be a third person between us," said Melvin who was even wary.

"I won't be like her," Alexa said calmly.

Melvin sighed, feeling bored then hug Alexa from the side, leaning his chin on the girl's head. "Why does it take so long to load?" he asked.

"I don't know, maybe it's because it's an old laptop," Alexa replied until a few moments later loading passed.

"Hmm, how old is this laptop?".Melvin asked.

"This laptop was a gift from my uncle. When I was in college, he gave it to me because my grades were good and I got a scholarship...At that time I only had books and a phone, but sometimes I got a computer loan from my friend," explained Alexa, starting to relax without feeling awkward anymore even though she was currently being hugged by Melvin.

Melvin was silent, starting to watch the Thai film that was already airing entitled "Game Sanaeha". the man started to watch but his mind was on Alexa who turned out to be living in all material limitations.

"Honey," Melvin called.

"Yes," said Alexa who finally rested her head on Melvin's chest.

"What makes you the happiest?" Melvin asked.

"When I make the people around me happy...happy because of me," Alexa replies quietly.

"That's so good. You are not selfish and I can see your kindness just by looking at your face and your sincere smile," said Melvin, playing with Alexa's hair and her eyes focused on watching the movie.

"What about you? What makes you the happiest?" Alexa asked back.

"Just like you, but ... it's very rare," said Melvin then smiled when he saw a scene of a drunk girl being carried to the room by a handsome man, and the handsome man was not allowed to leave. "Honey, it's almost like you when you're drunk and I walk you to your room."

"Is that true?" Alexa smiled shyly.

"Yes .... at that time I just smiled because you look cute," said Melvin then kissed Alexa's head.

Alexa smiled shyly and bit her lower lip. she felt hot and cold after holding back nervousness for a long time instead Melvin talked about things that were very embarrassing for her.

"That's so embarrassing!"

"Why?" Melvin asked.

"Because I'm embarrassed," Alexa replied, daring to look up at Melvin for a moment. 'Gosh, he's so handsome and close to me?'

Melvin sighed, released his arms, and made his face to face Alexa. He touched her chin and gently brushed her lips with his thumb. "What are you ashamed of, dear? Don't you understand that you are very beautiful?" he asked.

"I don't know," Alexa whispered, bending her face slightly.

"You are very beautiful and I like these lips," Melvin whispered then lowered his head to kiss Alexa's lips gently until his hands turned to hold her neck, sometimes holding her jaw.

Alexa can only surrender because she can't refuse. slowly she returned the kiss gently though still a bit shy. Her heart seemed to be beating so fast, her body was shaking slightly and she was starting to feel hot, closing her eyes enjoying the soft kiss. Finally, she doesn't want to watch movies anymore.
