Temptation

"What?"

"So far you have not been honest with me? I feel cheated ..." said Alexa coldly.

"What do you mean, Lex?"

"You've been hiding a secret from me all this time."

"Confidential?" asked Angga confused.

"What are you talking about, Lex? I don't understand," continued Angga.

"You said that you lived in a boarding house. You said that you lived alone in this city. Then, what is all this?"

"Haish... I thought you suspected me of something strange." He breathed a sigh of relief.

Angga slowly sat next to Alexa.

"I ... didn't mean to lie to you. I'm just lazy to tell my family background," he said.

Since the first time I met Angga in the 3rd grade of high school. Alexa was told that Angga's relationship with his family was not harmonious. What Alexa knows is that Angga lives with his father. Angga never told about his mother. Alexa is reluctant to ask this personal thing.

"You really want to know about my family?" Angga turned. His netra immediately collided with Alexa's innocent netra.

Alexa nodded. "Honestly, I'd like to know. But, that's if you don't mind."

Although Alexa's curiosity was higher than her shyness, she knew enough to respect her best friend's privacy.

"Back then… my family was perfect, until…"

"Haish ... she actually fell asleep here," muttered Angga.

After hearing the stories of Angga's family -- most of which are not told to Alexa -- Angga invites Alexa to watch a movie. Alexa agrees. She also felt bad because she had to hear a sad story from Angga's mouth.

Angga is a child from a family belonging to the upper middle class. Because of one thing - which Angga did not tell in detail - Angga decided to leave the house. Even so, Angga's father provides all the facilities that support Angga's needs while away from home. For this reason, Angga always mentions the luxurious house he currently lives in as a boarding house. He considers all the gifts from his father as a loan that he will have to repay when he is able to stand on his own. That was his greatest promise in his heart.

Angga once again turned to Alexa. His eyes scanned every inch of Alexa's face. A beautiful girl with smooth facial skin without a single pimple perched there. There is only one mole under her lips. Adding sweetness to the composition of the plump lips.

"Gosh! What are you thinking, Ga?! She's sleeping, you can't take a chance when she's helpless," he cursed.

Staring closely at Alexa's luscious lips, Angga's brain started to have strange fantasies. Plus the night atmosphere was supportive because it was raining outside. The cold air that leaked from the window made his male soul shrivel up, wanting to pour it out.

"Alexa ... wake up. Come on, move to the room. Don't sleep here," Angga hissed, patting Alexa's arm gently. He tried to wake Alexa up, at least so that her mental torment would end soon.

"Mmm..." Alexa squirmed a little.

Alexa seems to be sleeping very soundly. Feeling tired all day from dealing with this and that regarding her mother's health makes Alexa really immerse herself in a dream.

Angga scratched the back of his head that didn't itch. He was confused. How could he leave Alexa asleep on the sofa alone.

"I have to carry it like this," he hissed.

"Alexa, I'm sorry..." he whispered.

Deftly, Angga's hand slowly pulled Alexa's hand then raised her head and positioned himself to carry Alexa.

Instead of not feeling anything for Alexa when Angga lifted her body. But, drowsiness and tiredness had taken over her, until finally she decided to give up and continue her sleep. She even put her arm around Angga's shoulder -- positioning herself to be as comfortable as possible in Angga's arms.

Unlike Alexa. It's just torture for Angga if that's the case. Angga's body is too close, even the front of his body feels the thing that is a favorite of men. Friction after friction due to the movement of him carrying Alexa made something of him "awaken". His mind was gone. There was a whisper trying to break through his defenses of sanity. Angga on the verge of sanity!

'Come on Angga! Do not try anything with me!' he growled in his heart.

Only a meter away, he carried Alexa's body to the front of the bed, but it felt like the distance was too far for his male soul. It's really torturous!

Slowly Angga lowered Alexa's body onto the bed. If only the readers could hear it, Angga's heart rejoiced as if he had won because he had succeeded in moving the body of the girl he loved without ignoring the wild thoughts that kept attacking and destroying his sanity.

"Goodnight, Alex," he whispered as he closed the bedroom door.

Just now, Angga released Alexa's door lever and was about to go to her room, suddenly a booming voice sounded from outside the house, followed by a flash of light from behind the living room window. Then after that it was pitch black. All the lights in the house went out.

"Anggaaa!!!!"

The sound of screaming from inside the room stomped Angga's ears.

Angga rushed to open the door to Alexa's room. His body almost fell backwards if only his feet weren't so firm. Alexa burst into Angga's arms.

Angga hastily reached into his pants pocket and pulled out his cell phone. He turned on the flashlight from his cell phone. He needed lighting to see Alexa's condition.

"Angga... I'm scared." Sure enough, Alexa's body shook.

Angga really knows Alexa's fear from the first. Angga found out when he first asked Alexa to watch a movie at the cinema. At that moment the lights went out and Alexa screamed spontaneously, just like she was doing now.

"Ssshh... I'm here. Don't be afraid."

Angga tries to calm Alexa down. He then led Alexa back to her bed.

"I'm going out to get a candle first. You just sleep, okay."

"You don't go ... stay here. Next to me," Alexa pleaded.

Alexa's hand gripped Angga's hand tightly. As if afraid of being abandoned by Angga.

"Okay ... I'm not going anywhere. I think my cellphone battery is enough to accompany us tonight," said Angga while looking at the battery icon on his cellphone.

Angga put his phone on the nightstand. Even though the light from his cellphone flashlight couldn't illuminate the entire room, at least Alexa felt calm because Angga was beside her.

"Angga ... thank you, yes. You are always by my side when my world is about to collapse," Alexa whispered.

"You don't have to thank me. Even without you asking, I will always be there for you," said Angga.

"Angga..."

"Hmm... why Lex?" said Angga with his eyes still closed.

"You said that you always grant my wish even though I haven't said it yet."

Inner Angga immediately worried. About in his heart he wondered 'Alexa asked me for what? Let's hope it's not unreasonable.

"What do you want? Don't tell me, you want to ask for rain or go home right now. I can't grant that," said Angga.

"No ... "

"Then?"

"Can you, accompany me to sleep. I mean ... you sleep next to me. I can not sleep alone," said Alexa half whispered.

Angga's eyes widened for a moment. Luckily it was dark at the time, so Alexa couldn't see Angga's surprised reaction.

"Are you... are you okay? I'm afraid you're uncomfortable," said Angga.

"It's okay... get on up."

Even if you're scared and nervous. Angga continues to follow Alexa's request. He slowly sat on the edge of the bed. Calculating the distance was the toughest task at that time.

An impulsive move that made Angga gasp. Alexa flinched and pulled his hand into hers. Making the bare skin of his hands touch Alexa's supple object.

'Oh my God... what kind of temptation is this, God...' sighed Angga in his heart, furious.
