8 The Boys

Shady morning. Arielle feel somewhat he's about to get sick but still will go to his work today. He was very dizzy when he woke up earlier.

He just send Adrian to his school and will go to the coffeeshop now, they don't have any classes today. It is a great opportunity for him for he almost ran out of the money. He still need to pay the rent of the house. Plus Adrian's hospitalization and meds, and the activity off school. And until now he's kinda not sure if he's joining the activity or not, about planning to tell their teacher about their situation and maybe give him consideration.

He instantly stop thinking about all those things when a motorcycle beep behind him. He instantly remembered his first day of school where the same thing happened, where he got filmed knocking on Alain's car. Arielle just shook his head.

He was still a little shocked, and shivering at the same time, when he instantly saw who it was. It was Bernard.

"Hop on." he said with a smile. Arielle blushed pretentiously. He's got a little crush on him.

"Where are you going? And why are you walking? It's about to rain" Bernard ask Arielle.

"Umm I'm going to the coffee shop. And the reason why I'm walking, there are no taxi passes by for me to get there" Arielle said, but the real reason is he's saving their money.

"Oh! I'm heading to the shop too! Let's go, I'll give you a ride. Don't be shy. And looks like it'll gonna rain at any time" Bernard said. Arielle is too shy and resist to accept his offer. And after a few more words, Arielle was finally convinced. But as he rides Bernard's motorcycle, the heavy rain suddenly fell. And they're getting wet.

" Is it okay if we go now while its raining? Its been a while since I play or bathe under the rain. Besides, we're already wet hahaha" Bernard ask.

"It's okay. We can get colds if we'll not change right away after we go there. I'll just change in the shop"

"Okay let's go." he suddenly start his motorcycle. So the ending? Arielle clung so tight on him! And he blushed as he touches Bernard's abs.

"Hey what are you doing hahaha. And why are your body temperature hot? Are you okay?" Bernard ask. Arielle immediately released his hands from Bernard's body. He's embarrassed.

"Hehe I'm sorry. I just got amazed. You got abs hahaha. Don't worry, I'm okay. I just feel not that well since this morning" Arielle said.

"Hey, just slow down! Watch out and it's still raining! We might get into an accident!"

"I'm sorry"

A couple of minutes have passed and they talked about different things until they got to the coffee shop. Arielle felt more dizzy as he feels cold because of the rain.

"Thank you for the ride. I'll go inside first, Sir KC might scold at me."

"Wait for me. I'll escort you in, and don't worry. I'll punch him if he scolded you." Bernard said sarcastically. Arielle blushed again. He feels something uncomfortable.

They use the backdoor and head to the locker's. They're wet. Arielle decided yo take a bath even though he's not feeling well.

"So maybe I'll see you later?" Bernard smiled again.

"Y-yes. I'll go ahead" and he went up to KC's office, it was on the second floor, while Arielle went straight to the shower room. He even think about taking a bath for he's not feeling well, but decided to do so.

"Arielle, please bring these to Sir KC's office, his friends have just arrived and ordered these." Lance said as Arielle went to the counter.

"Hahaha. Take that upstairs and you'll be in heaven. Sir KC's best friends are good looking" Jansen winked to tease Arielle. Arielle got confused for he only knew Bernard to be their boss's best friend.

"All right. Bring those orders, they're waiting upstairs ." Arielle intentionally took the order of a cappuccino, orange juice without ice but cold, and a slice of dark chocolate cake. He already know that it's Bernard's. What he just don't know is who owns the order of white espresso and a slice of triple chocolate cake.

Arielle slowly go upstairs. His hands are shaking a bit and he can already feel the weight of his body. He feels like he's about to fall.

"Geez! Looks like I'm going to get sick" Arielle told himself.

He knocked three times before entering.

"Sir, here are the - -" Arielle froze from where he is standing as he saw who KC's best friends are.

"Arielle ..." Christian, Diether, and Adriane stood up at the same time as they saw Arielle. The shiver, frowning over Arielle's body again.

"Woooooh! Why is it too cold?" Bernard just came out of the restroom where he changed his clothes. He came into the room shirtless. Arielle got shy of looking at him.

Arielle almost lost his breath when Bernard suddenly looked at him and smiled.

"Hi Arielle, is that for me?." He smiled and walk towards Arielle. He took what he ordered from Arielle "Wow! Thanks! You're the best!"

"Wait, you knew each other?" KC asked Diether, Edrien, Alain and Arielle.

"Yes" Edrien, Diether and Arielle responded, while Alain said no.

Arielle is holding one more tray but he doesn't know who ordered that. So he walk towards his boss to give it to him.

"Sir, here's your order"

"Thank you. But I did not order that."

"Oww. I'm sorry." . Arielle faced Alain who is sitting beside his boss.

"So this is yours. How lucky you are, I didn't put any drops of poison." Arielle said.

"Shouldn't you also call me Sir? I am a close friend of the owner of this coffee shop, and actually, we're co-owners of KC. You should call us Sir, too." Arielle got pissed off because of Alain's answer.

"Is this the extent to which you practice the rudeness of your behavior? You even argue to our staff, how childish you are Alain" Bernard joined the discussion.

"The better thing you can do rather than sticking your nose to a situation that has not to fo with you, na just wear any top. Look at him? He's already salivating and drooling because you're shirtless." Alain insulted Arielle while pointing at him.

"I'm sorry SIR, if you think I am drooling over your friend. I'm sorry if you think I'm a flirt, whore, bitch, as what the fvck in this world you want to call me. I'm sorry." Arielle tried not to cry even though he wanted to. But he can't stop his tears from flowing down. He's crying, because of Alain.

"I'm sorry Sir KC. I'll get back to work downstairs." Arielle did not wait for him to answer and he left the office. They're all speachless after he left the room.
