-The Best Valentine-
There are times when a fussy attitude turns into a fish in a crate. Silent and rigid. What's more, if you are the type who has completely lost, like Maura, one direct attack k.o.
----------------------------------
Maura has been listening to thousands of rumors about Erlangga Orion Lorenzo for the past few days. Her brain is nearly full of all the personality and unasked-for knowledge about Erlangga the Phoenix Prince.
Luna said Erlangga is the type of guy as cold as the North Pole who only mumbles short sentences every day.
At that time, Maura thought that Erlangga was a coward, aka a drag if he didn't remember that the wealth of the only son of the head of the ministry would not run out for seven generations.
After all, wealth cannot be equated with the number of words that come out of one's mouth.
"It's your fate. If you run out of money for one generation, just stay quiet," Luna grumbled at that time.
Shucks!
Mira joined in glorifying the prince. For her, Erlangga is a super young man, even though Maura doesn't care how good it is.
'No comment on this one, the business will be complicated if you lengthen it.'
Different opinions from other girls, Gio's opinion. The young man who was a palak said that Erlangga was one type in front of another in the back.
"Erlangga is the most wanted person in our school. According to the data that I have researched and observed, two things are closely attached to the most wanted figure. First, he must be Casanova, and second, if not, he must be gay. "
"So just be careful, I still don't know your date with him. Besides, I won't let go, even though I complained to my aunt about your impromptu date, "Gio continued at that time.
Maura just rolled her eyes, bored. In her eyes, Gio is just envious, period.
Back to civilization. Maura took a deep breath. Her gaze never left the youth beside her.
Erlangga opened several large books, but Maura did not understand what the titles were. After all, he had brought it himself.
His stout body leaned against the cupboard with bent legs as he placed the book in his lap.
His hair was disheveled and half wet with sweat like he had just woken up. They woke him up with splashes of water, and for some reason, that impression made him even sexier. Her charming gray irises were very focused. His lips twitched from time to time.
'Did anything catch his eye in that book?'
"Err.. Erlangga." Maura spoke up.
The young man turned his head with a raised eyebrow, "What?"
"Do you come here often? Do you mean the library? "
Maura wasn't the geeky type, by the way. The purpose of the library is just to memorize all the titles of the books to trick his mother.
That's also why the past year has often been spent staring at bookshelves, memorizing titles while occasionally taking notes if needed.
Without reading the contents!
I think he's a cheater, but during this year he's also known anyone who diligently goes to the library, including the Bintang who always sleeps at every opportunity.
But not with Erlang, Maura never found the man anywhere, as if Erlangga had never set foot in this place full of books.
Then why is he so smart?
Erlang frowned. "No, this is the first time." He chuckled a little. "Maybe that's what made the guard at the front stiffen," he continued casually.
Maura nodded in understanding, all her predictions were correct.
"You, why carry a lot of books without reading them?"
"I told you earlier, I just jotted down the title. My mom just asked me for the title of the book I've been reading all week. She didn't even ask about the contents. "
"Creative." Say Erlang.
Whether it's praise or ridicule, Erlang always uses the word to indicate something strange.
"I know... well, then what about the Lo family, I mean your Mama and Papa? "
Erlang was silent. He closed the book in his lap and took a deep breath.
"There is nothing special or special. During the weekends, I spend more time with my friends than with them, " he whispered coldly.
Maura understands that Erlang doesn't want to talk about his family.
"Then about Lo's love story?"
"There isn't."
"First girlfriend?"
"There is no."
"What?? Seriously? "
Maura shouted. Luckily, there was no one else in the library, nor was he sure the front guard had heard his screams considering the place was so vast and, err... a little quiet.
"Why so shocked?"
Maura's mind was filled with flashes and absurd images from Erlang's soft chuckle.
This guy doesn't have a girlfriend. Sorry. Erlangga the phoenix prince, most wanted three years irreplaceable, actually never had a girlfriend.
Is the world joking or is he being too paranoid, considering that this world is still kind to lowly people like him about mate?
'If she's not Casanova then there's another possibility she's gay.'
Gerr...
Why did Gio's terrible sacred sentence even cross his mind?
"You're not gay, are you?" Maura probed alertly.
"Why do I even think that way?"
Erlang looked at him with a look that was difficult to interpret. He no longer holds the ledger. His body leaned closer to Maura.
"Err.. the-meaning it's just a theory. You've never been out with any girl in our school. Aside from that, Gilang and Bintang seem to have dominated the situation so far. "
Erlang nodded, understanding the sentence Maura explained without changing his position.
"Gilang is too talkative, and Bintang is a weird guy. Even if I like the same sex, I'm sure I'll be picky. " He mumbled, half laughing.
I don't know why Maura agrees with this one. Bintang the weirdo and the overly friendly Gilang.
They were both terrible for a man.
Damn it!!
Maura pursed her lips, her hands rubbed the nape of the neck that felt wet with sweat, did the AC turn off? Why does he feel hot?
"Erlaang, do you feel ho--"
Degh,
Maura hung up on her words when her eyes met with bluish-gray irises that were staring back at her.
Erlangga's handsome face was only a few inches from his face, he could feel the hot breath of his mercy.
Maura did not know when the man was this close to her. Her brain couldn't think straight anymore, it was blocked by the beating of his heart that sounded like a speeding war wheel.
His blood flow warmed, perhaps burning as Erlangga eroded the distance between them.
Maura choked, within seconds that felt like a dream, her heart stopped suddenly as Erlang pulled the back of her head tightly. The distance between her face and Erlang was completely eroded until their noses almost touched.
Maura reflexively closed her eyes tightly, waiting for something to happen next.
Barely.
"What are you guys doing?"
Degh.
A familiar voice dominated with hatred and annoyance stopped the magic they were just about to enjoy.
Maura opened her eyes, glaring perfectly at the person who stopped their activity.
Erlang had moved to his usual position, slightly away from her.
