You Decided
Interlocked

Afternoon..

After Alice's part-time job was done, as usual, the girl never wasted any time. Immediately, he rushed to get ready to go home. Not coming home, rather meeting Mom in the hospital.

"Why are you still here? your girlfriend has been waiting in the parking lot since." said Aurora, Alice's friend.

"Daughter? who mean?" Alice frowned slightly in wonder. She had no boyfriend, then who Aurora meant.

"Come on. Don't pretend. Why won't you admit to such a handsome man? You're great Alice! after Sam, now you've got more."

"Ssttt! Stop gossiping! What are you talking about, Aurora!" His friend always overreacts.

Butbut wait.. What Aurora means is. It must be Alvino! ish, he picked up without telling me anymore.

Alice immediately sped up her movements after realizing that Aurora meant Alvino. Some days Alvino indeed often pick him up without telling first. Alice said she was willing to be treated that way. Moreover, in fact he intends to directly visit his mother in the hospital.

The girl who quickened her pace suddenly stopped, thinking for a moment, at the same time she remembered mother, but one side she wanted to be together with Alvino.

”Call the nurse." The girl took the initiative. She made sure of how her mother, who she left early in the morning, did not want to spend time with Alvino. Her thought.

I don't know, with Alvino, Alice felt like she had a friend. Alice enjoys their togetherness lately.since Alvino's existence is quite intense, it feels like Alice is back alive. His life is more colorful, not just about work and hospital bills.

"Hi" said the man who had been leaning on the hood of his car. After a while of waiting, finally the one he was waiting for appeared as well.

"Hi." Stiff and awkward too. To be honest Alice was a little uncomfortable if Alvino picked her up there. Especially if the man is carrying a luxury car. Behind there must be a lot of gossip more than Aurora. "You don't have to bother picking me up, Al. Since yesterday.."

"I'm late for lunch and I'd like to take you to a meal together. Do you mind?" Sassy. I don't know what kind of courage Alvino has, but everything seems to flow just like that.

His body could not resist as the soul that had died again warmed up. Alvino can't prevent, Alvino can't be a hypocrite that the closeness between them these days brings him back to life.

"But I have to visit my mother."

"We can visit him together after we eat."

Without arguing again, then they darted away from there. Splitting the city crowd and taking them both to a place that Alvino had determined.

And they arrived at a restaurant that carries the theme of a picnic. Alvino already knew that Alice would refuse if she took him to places that seemed luxurious, for that she took Alice there. After all, Alvino also preferred such a place, it felt like the time they spent was not in vain. More intimate and valued.

Finish eating~

"Are you feeling uncomfortable or forced to spend time together like this?" Alvino is leaning on a small pad provided there. The man sat on a carpet that covered cool leaves. The atmosphere of the lakeside with the breeze of the wind supports them to get a new atmosphere.

"No, at all. It's just.. Sometimes I have to know the limits, I can't forget who you are and who I am." Alice was not bothered by Alvino's presence as well as their closeness. The girl wanted to thank him. How Alice with Alvino may not be explained by the sentence, it's just that the word that Alvino is her brother Sam is indeed a big wall.

"What am I really?" Alvino chuckled small. The girl often gave distance, as if between them were the rich and the poor. Don't let Alice be like everyone else. Who only judged and considered himself the king of Lucatu, then forgot that Alvino was also a human.

"You know, I've had a relationship with your sister.. I mean.."

"I'm sorry for my sister's treatment of you, and my mother educated us so well that we would always respect women."

Alvino also tells how the relationship between himself and Bianca began. Even the man also revealed the honesty that he had become a Pierce, Alvino admitted that his heart had wanted Alice even though Bianca was beside him.

"Pierce.so you're Pierce, I deserve I never see him again."

"Don't get me wrong or think anything wrong, I'm doing it just because I appreciate you being with Sam and me being with Bianca. I hope you understand that logic and conscience sometimes don't go hand in hand, whatever it is, my intentions towards you are good intentions."

Alice only gave a small nod, she tried to digest and understand what Alvino said well, Alice appreciated Alvino's bravery about her honesty.

"And maybe it's too soon, but I don't want to keep this to myself, I want you to know that I don't think we're just ordinary friends. I can't prevent my heart from throbbing again.." Holy hooch! what Alvino said! why can he say it's so good. Alvino is convinced that after this Alice will stay away from her.

"Al. as you said, this may be too soon, and I can't even describe how I feel right now. I'm still scared."

Alvino changed his position, making them now face to face. "You and I have both been hurt, I'm not forcing you to recover from that wound immediately." The hand clasped and the net met. Staring at each other and convincing what they feel is real.

"But trust me, you won't be able to treat that wound alone."

The distance between their faces slowly eroded, getting closer and closer again. Each breath they could feel for each other.

A little more Alvino would touch Alice's lips with hers, but suddenly Alice's face was turned away.

"Sorry.."

"Revelation!!" Eve pulls Sam to hide in one of the hospital's pillars. They haven't found Alice yet, but Eve's eyes catch the presence of James and Rose there. Worry if they find out.

"Why?"

"That!" Eve pointed towards James and Rose who seemed to be in a panic. They were both pushing a gurney with some nurses. I don't know who they're carrying, but it looks like it's a pregnant woman.

"We have to go!" Eve pulls Sam's hand again. He must save himself immediately. Do not let his existence there be known.

"No! we can't leave until I meet Alice!"

"Don't be stubborn, baby! you didn't see that creepy monster?" though Eve only saw James from a distance, but it felt like her entire body was shaking violently.

"But we're not even yet, Eve."

"Yes, we'll be back if the situation is safe."
