Your Boyfriend Is Mine

"When we grow up. I'll propose to you. We'll travel the world and spend all the time together–"  Alex's warm voice sounded so close to Bella's ears.  Just like 17 years ago when she was 5 years old.  It was a very beautiful promise in Bella's head memory.  She is now a 22-year-old but all of Alex's words are still etched in her heart.   One thing she had always believed was that Alex was the same man she had known just like before.  Alex is still the only male friend who carefully listened to her complaints.  Bella believes that, even though Alex is studying outside the city, She still receives a lot of messages and attention from Alex.  "I brought someone I'm going to introduce to you." He said on a warm day, in front of Bella's excited expression.  Bella's world seemed to be falling, a girl was standing next to Alex, holding Alex's arm intimately.  The girl has long blonde hair, and her warm shining eyes are filled with love. She is very fashionable and beautiful.  "Bella, She is my girlfriend, Gracia!" Ps. Artwork doesn't mine

You, annoying couple!

Seeing the blush on Bella's face made one of her close friends at work curious and wanted to tease her. Bela is a hard worker and diligent one but this time she was caught daydreaming and a smile could not be separated from her small and thin lips.  Hanzo, her co-worker is a gentleman and has a feminine appearance, he likes to tease Bela but knows the boundaries and their relationship becomes good at work.

 "Is it because of a tall handsome man with an expensive Rolex watch on his wrist that you're being perky all the time at work tonight!"  Slightly pushing Bela's back leaning towards the bar counter with the corner of his elbow, he winked when Bela turned to him, then he put the tray in his hands, finishing the rest of their work.

 Bela looked at Hanzo as if she didn't understand where their conversation was going.  "What do you mean?"  Asked her with knitted brows but didn't reduce the light on her face tonight that radiated happiness.

 "Ouch!"  Hanzo didn't like Bela's amateur lies.  "You rarely feel happy so don't lie, once you feel happy it's all clearly shown on your ugly face!"  He said while pointing at Bella's face with a mocking expression on his face.

 Bella would not accept the accusations easily.  "What are you talking about, I don't understand!"  She avoided the conversation and got ready to clear up what was left of their work so they could get home soon. Being impatient to finish tonight's work, there had to be a reason, of course, it had something to do with Alex and their little kiss before.

 Seeing Bela avoided, Hanzo was getting more and more interested in teasing his friend, he got up from the chair and grab for something from his pants pocket then he walked quickly towards Bella who headed towards the changing room, his hands deftly put something in Bella's pants pocket, Bella who was surprised immediately asked what Hanzo just put in her pants pocket.  "What are you?"

 She became very surprised by what was inside her palm, the thin object that Hanzo had just given her.  Leaving Bella's surprised face, Hanzo gracefully waved his hand, he left Bella a kiss bye because their work time was over.

 "What is it!"  Bela shook her head in disbelief at the condom gift from Hanzo.  What does this have to do with this little thing?  Bela was about to throw it in the trash but she didn't want to and put it back in her pocket.  She thinks that her brain is very dirty and perverted. What she expects about her relationship with Alex, isn't that kissing is popular among young people nowadays, she is too old-fashioned to think that kissing is important and determines a special relationship.

 Bella Jang still has eastern blood and culture while Alex's parents have mixed eastern and western blood, in here, everyone adheres to a free lifestyle but there are still some people who keep the old culture and still adhere to old-fashioned cultural ethics.  Even though she didn't dare to have hope because she knew that Alex was a modern man and adopted free sex, she had to take yesterday's kiss as a greeting, nothing more, although in her heart she couldn't lie about hoping for a better relationship with Alex.

 The thought came back and made her want to throw the condom in the trash but she didn't have time to throw it yet. The tiredness made the mouth yawn. She had to cover her mouth with the hand still holding the condom. She didn't realize that someone had been waiting for her faithfully from a corner.  walked over to her who had finished taking her bag from the locker in the employee changing room.

 The man is Alex who was stubborn because he didn't want to go home and was waiting for Bela to come home but Alex is surprised by what is in the palm of Bela's hand, which she uses to cover her yawning mouth.

 No words came out of Alex's mouth but the look in his eyes confused Bela.  She should have asked why Alex was here but she forgot and asked about something else.  "What's with your face?"  asked her with an innocent look.

 Alex was embarrassed that he had to ask about the thing in Bela's hand so he averted his gaze and turned around, giving his back to Bela. He was still wearing his coat and clothes from this afternoon with two hands lodged in his coat pockets on the left and right.  "Nothing."  He said briefly.

 Seeing Alex's behavior made Bella pretend to be indifferent.  "I'm going home! My workday is over and it's time to change shifts!"  She said as if giving insight to Alex.

 "Then. Come on!"

 "Come on?"  Bela did not understand the word come on that slipped smoothly from Alex's lips, she thought that Alex intended to relax in the pub.  Seeing Bela's astonished look on him, Alex clarified his sentence.  "Why did I drive you to work this afternoon, and now I want to send you home."

 "No, no!"  Bela quickly refuses Alex's offer.  "You don't have to worry about taking me home. I can go home alone like I usually do."  She immediately stepped away from Alex and greeted her friends at the change of shift.

 Alex followed Bela from behind and he ran towards his car which was parked at the side of the building. Bela saw Alex driving the car towards her and she wiped her forehead. She was about to refuse a ride from Alex but she wasn't so sure either.

 "What's wrong with him? Is this part of the plan Gracia talked about yesterday?"  Bela began to guess.

 "Come on in!"  Alex stopped the car right beside Bela who took a deep breath because she had no reason to refuse Alex's ride.  Shaking her shoulders a little, she finally got in and sat back down in Alex's soft car seat.

 At midnight, on a quiet city street to one of the simple flats where Bella lives.

 No one said much except Taylor Swift's melodious voice over the car tape.  Several times, the sound of Alex's cell phone rang, but the man had no intention of picking up the incoming call on his cell phone and that made Bella a little uncomfortable.

 The phone rang again.

 "Just pick up the phone, it might be important!"  While looking away, Bella pointed from the corner of her eye at the cellphone located on the car dashboard in an upside-down position.

 "Forget it!"  Alex said lazily.

 Bela is getting annoyed and irritated.  "What if it's an incoming call from Gracia! Aren't you guys dating!"

 Alex turned to Bela and smiled wryly, his face looking lethargic maybe because he was tired of waiting for Bela to work half the night.  "Bela, don't get me wrong, okay. I want to get close to you not because of Gracia's request but because I want us to get back close like we used to be."

 "No way!"  said Bela quickly.

 "Why not?"  Alex's gaze became clearer and seemed to plead with her.

 "Yes, because- because!"  Bela couldn't continue her sentence because Alex's gaze was so deep and looked sad.  "What the hell are you doing? If you and Gracia have a problem, why don't you guys solve it properly and don't bring me into your fire!"

 She wiped her forehead roughly, why so she melted into other people's love affairs and she failed to move on.

 "Sorry I bothered you this time but I'm really tired and want to find a place to escape. When Gracia told me to come back to you, it was like an oasis in the desert to me. I don't have any friends, I've only lived with Gracia for the last few years and my life has become very difficult.  heavy and arid, very different when I know you and close to my family."  Alex's voice sounded heavy.

 "Tsk! Funny!"  Bela hissed roughly.  "If you're not comfortable why do you have to keep dating Gracia, why don't you guys break up!"

 Alex returned his focus to the street, the sentence just now made his face tense.  "You don't know what I've done to her. I have to take responsibility!"

 Hah!  Is it a joke?  Bela really can't understand Alex anymore.
