Chapter 8: Chapter 8

Edward also took the package held by Precious. Although they feel very awkward, both Edward and Precious try to be as normal as possible. After taking the package Edward went into the house to put the package in his room. So there are only Alice and Precious both in front of the house. Alice began to stare at Precious cynically as if she hated the woman standing in front of her.

"Where should I sign?" Alice asked sarcastically

Precious also shows a receipt that must be signed by Alice. Right after signing the receipt Alice immediately went into the house and closed the door rudely in front of Precious. Precious was a little surprised until she reflexively took a step back when the door closed very hard in front of her face. With heavy steps and a gloomy face Precious walked out of the alley where she parked her car on the highway. Just when Precious was about to open the car door someone pushed the car door back so that it closed. That person was Edward who somehow chased after Precious.

"Can we talk for a minute?" asked Edward

"I don't think there's anything we need to talk about anymore. Move, I have to go now. " Said Precious

"Precious, come on. We have to talk, I want to know why you left that day. Don't you like that too? You like me right? " said Edward, holding Precious's shoulders and trying to get closer to Precious.

"Ed, stop it! We are over and I have never had any feelings for you. What happened that day was just a mistake. So please let me go. " Precious said as she pushed Edward

"I know you like me too, you can't lie to me." Said Edward tried to approach Precious again but Precious pushed him back

"Don't, don't ever touch me again." Said Precious then immediately got into the car and hit the gas leaving Edward behind.

Precious was driving at full speed then when she was on a quiet street Precious stopped her car. While holding the steering wheel tightly Precious began to cry with a sob. She buried her head in the wheel and cried loudly. Precious could not hold back her tears as old memories one after another appeared in her mind like a puzzle piece.

Precious remembers when she was in her first year on campus. At that time she was just a new student who really likes to have fun and do naughty things like teenagers in general. Go to the bar every night and get to know the handsome man she met at the bar. Precious really enjoyed her youth filled with freedom.

Unlike now, when Precious was good friends with Alice because they were in the same department. They often travel together and go to bars together. They are like inseparable friends.

Alice and Precious are like Soulmates who have a lot in common. They have the same taste in clothes, the same favorite foods and the same hobbies. They like to go to bars and also like to follow street rock bands. That's when they met Edward, a vocalist in a street rock band who performed from one bar to another.

Because they have the same tastes, Precious and Alice are equally attracted to Edward who looks handsome and masculine. However, because Edward was more interested in Alice who approached him openly, Precious chose to step back and change her direction to Ben, a drummer in the same band as Edward.

Ben is a kind and caring person. He was very concerned about Precious and did the best for her. Ben is the type of person who is warm even though he doesn't talk much. Ben is always careful with his words and if he talks will get to the point.

Although Ben is a good person and never disappoints her, Precious still cannot be satisfied with their relationship. Maybe because of Precious's adventurous and challenging nature. A comfortable relationship that is stable feels unsuitable for her. Yes, their relationship did go well, but an overly good relationship felt flat and empty for Precious. She really wanted spark like fireworks in her relationship, but she didn't get it when she was with Ben.

Finally Precious decides Ben unilaterally without giving a clear reason to him. In addition, Precious also could not stop her obsession with Edward. Precious always stole a glance to see Edward even though Edward was with Alice.

Until one day, when Edward and his band held a concert tour. Precious and Alice come together to see the appearance of Edward and his band.

The tour lasted for 2 days so they had to spend the night.

After the appearance on the first day, everyone rested because they were very tired. The journey that took hours and then continued to appear in front of so many people has absorbed everyone's energy. Precious also felt tired and began to feel sleepy. But when she tried to sleep in the lodging room they rented, from the window of her room Precious saw Edward out of the house and smoking weed while sitting leaning under a tree. Precious did not miss the opportunity and approached Edward.

"What are you doing alone here?" asked Precious

"Just releasing stress and enjoying Marijuana. How about you? Can not sleep?" said Edward

"Yes, I just want to get some fresh air before going to sleep." Said Precious

"Do you want to try it?" said Edward, offering marijuana to Precious.

They also sat under a tree while inhaling marijuana. They feel dizzy and begin to drift. Their bodies felt light and the burden seemed to disappear from their shoulders. Marijuana does have a very extraordinary effect in making someone feel calm and happy despite all of that is artificial.

They begin to feel free to the point that they are excited when they see each other.

They began to lose control and start kissing. Short kisses become longer and deeper until both breaths become coarser as well as heavy. Starting from the kiss on the lips and then slowly down to a more sensitive place. Edward and Precious increasingly lose control and take off their clothes.

In the middle of the night they spend a warm night outside the inn, under a tree with the moon as a torch. Precious and Edward enjoyed their intimate nights so much that they didn't notice Ben accidentally watched them.

When the sun shines brightly. Edward and his entourage were loading their belongings in the Van to continue their tour to the next place. While Precious and Alice are waiting sitting on the terrace while talking lightly. Then Ben approached Precious and Alice.

"Can we talk for a minute?" said Ben, gesturing to Precious to stay away from the group.

Precious and Ben also stood quite far from the group. Ben looks hesitant to talk. He glanced at the group and Precious, took turns then lowered his head while kicking the ground with the tips of his toes. Maybe Ben is setting his mind in turmoil or he's thinking about how he should say it.

"Did you break up on me because you liked Ed?" Ben asked after thinking for a while

"What are you saying all of a sudden? After all we broke up, why ask the reason now? " said Precious, refusing to answer Ben

"I saw you and Ed. I saw what you guys did last night. " Said Ben

Although shocked by Ben's words, Precious tries to hide her feelings. Not afraid and ask Ben not to tell what he saw to anyone. Precious is being brave because she knows Ben will never tell anyone without asking.
