You're In My Grips

You're In My Grips
Chapter 12


The distance so close again makes the pounding of the day, the heart racing very quickly makes the intimate position was immediately ended. He was about to get out of the uncomfortable and awkward atmosphere, but he had not had time to do it the man first held him by hugging him very tightly. The gentle breath of the man made the atmosphere even more awkward and uneasy, trying to let go of the hug with all his might. 


"Let it be like this." Lirih Erick drowned the girl in his arms, a sense of being left deep in the deepest of hearts that had been stored and considered it a dream world. 


"We have to go home, it's late." Slowly Dara released the hands of men who had been affected by alcohol, a distinctive smell that lived. 


"I don't want to go anywhere." Erick spoke more and more and his embrace loosened. 


Dara sighed and immediately stood up, straightening her waist which was painful due to the close embrace. Closing the car door and walking to the other side, followed and drove the car to the Adelmo mansion. 


Dara's thoughts filled the man next to her who continued to fumble were unclear, one thing she caught that the man felt a deep trauma after his actions in the past. "You can't make peace because of what I did before, I understand why your attitude is bad and always makes things difficult for me." Inwardly, he wanted to tell the truth but now was not the right time. 


Arriving at Adelmo's residence, Dara supported Erick's body and slowly entered the mansion. Supporting a body whose burden exceeds the weight in his body is very difficult, by being forced to ask one of the guards.


"Thank you." Dara said sincerely to the guard who helped her. 


"Together, I'm back." 


"Hem." Dara nodded and turned her attention, feeling very guilty and not knowing that it was getting worse. A handsome face lying on the bed, he opened a pair of shoes attached to Erick's feet. After that, he sat down and watched the handsome face carefully, the less tidy hair made him uneasy and exposed him. He accidentally touched his boss' forehead and felt the heat, so he quickly pulled his hand back. "Gosh, he's got a fever." 


Dara is very worried about Erick's condition and runs to take the compress, hoping the temperature drops. 


The night was getting late, the cold pierced the skin until it felt pierced into the bone. Several times Dara yawned, an unbearable drowsiness made him sleep in a sitting position awake.


Erick was about to go to the bathroom, his gaze catching a girl who was asleep. "Eh, why is he sleeping in this kind of position? It must be very uncomfortable." Immediately shuffled and carried that slender body and placed it on the bed, smiling smallly as he looked at the plain face as well as the smooth snoring like the birds' whistles. 


Her hand touched Dara's cheek, looking at the girl's hand holding a small towel as well as a small basin filled with water. "So he didn't sleep last night just to take care of me?" in disbelief, that little attention slightly melted his frozen heart. 


Erick passed away going to the bathroom, holding his head feeling an excruciating pain like in the hammer. Not forgetting she washed her face in the sink and looked at herself in the mirror. "Geez, I drank too much." Hope he doesn't talk that no-no, especially now Dara is with him. 


The typical smile saw the girl still snoring softly and continued to pay attention to her. 


Both of them were in one bed, Erick did not want to mess up the girl's dream and let her sleep next to him. But both of her eyes were wide open, Dara's hands hugging her body very tightly in search of warmth. "He must be cold." He muttered as he grabbed the AC remote control and turned it off, then returned the hug. 


Alan felt that there was something stuck not seeing the existence of his cousin's brother and Dara all night, he was desperate to open the door of the cousin's room to make sure that everything was safe under control. 


"God, this sight stained my holy eyes. My mornings were somber seeing them so close, what about me getting interested in Dara?" he grimaced, his heart ached but immediately dismissed the feeling of thinking the two never came home and thought his cousin had been hit. 


Dara woke up after the door closed, the first thing she saw was the handsome face of her ex-lover. A handsome face that dazzles even more attractive when sleeping, lashes and sharp nose wash away a few seconds and then re-conscious of reality.


"Geez, how am I supposed to sleep in her bed? Didn't I sleep in a sitting position while looking after her?" batin Dara was very surprised and immediately moved from there. But he had not had time to leave, his hands were immediately embraced by the man who was getting more comfortable sleeping. 


Slowly Dara let go and ran out of Erick's room, she was unwilling to cause any new problems. 


"Oh my God, what am I doing? It must have been unconsciously that I got into his bed, fortunately he hadn't woken up yet." Dara let out a breath of air and did not realize that it was all because of Erick who moved her.


"Where were you last night?" ask someone behind her. 


Soutak Dara turned around and saw that Alan was looking at him full of investigation. "I work late." Honest answer. 


Alan grinned, thinking that the girl was lying. Obviously he found her in one bed with her cousin and very, very friendly. "really? But I saw you guys hugging in bed." Suddenly she asked that question blatantly like a jealous lover. 


"That, he and I did nothing. We came home late at night, Erick drank too much and got drunk." 


"How's the chronology?" 


Dara was uncomfortable with the question, as if she was a cheap girl sleeping with her own boss. "Here you go, I don't want to explain anything. You better ask your cousin directly." He let go of Alan, went into his own room. 


"Is that a natural thing?" Alan was very upset thinking about the incident. 


While Erick woke up from his sleep, looking for the whereabouts of Dara who suddenly disappeared. "Eh, where'd he go?" his monologue, then his charming smile was again visible. "Maybe he's embarrassed." 


Dara sat at the door of the room while rubbing her face rough. "God...Why am I so careless?" of course he blames himself, not thinking far if it was Erick. 


"Ok Dara, think enough about it and now focus on giving a welcome to Diana's grandmother's return." His words cheered himself up, then a shameful shadow re-exposed in his mind, quickly running up to the bed covering his face with a pillow.
