Once again, Aurora had to swallow the bitter pill of not receiving a single reply from Dave. She found herself staring at her phone screen with anxiety, waiting for the gray checkmarks to turn blue. Aurora sighed deeply when she realized that it had been a month since the two-door fridge guy had given her any news; the man with copper-brown eyes seemed to have vanished off the face of the Earth. Unfortunately, Aurora was feeling lost in her life.
Longing? It was a feeling that always cut Aurora's heart slowly every moment. Heartbreak because of her unrequited love with Andra wasn't as painful as her separation from Dave. This man had successfully captured all of Aurora's thoughts and heart, disrupting her peaceful life. In a short time, he had written a sweet story that Aurora had never experienced before. And now, should she just forget about him? Meanwhile, the love in her heart continued to grow stronger.
*Tin...tin.* The honking of a car
Now, their two pairs of eyes locked, silently conveying their deep longing. They channeled their profound emotions through silence. The girl scrutinized Dave's face, which looked disheveled, with dark under-eye circles accentuating his strong jaw. Her gaze shifted to Dave's body, which appeared thinner than the last time they had met.Once again, the girl stared intensely at the man in front of her, her eyes welling up with tears. "Dave," Aurora murmured softly, her trembling lips. There was no response from the man who remained frozen in place. **Thud...** Aurora's body suddenly collided with Dave's, and he pulled her roughly into his arms, embracing her tightly. Without a word, Dave tightened his grip, showering her with kisses on the top of her head."Sorry," Dave whispered, the only word he could utter.Slowly, Aurora's hands rose, reciprocating Dave's embrace. She inhaled deeply, taking in the scent of
It didn't take long for Aurora to drift into a peaceful slumber, but Dave, on the other hand, remained restless. His mind was solely focused on the girl he adored, who was now sound asleep in his bedroom. Dave shifted to sit up, his hands cupping his face. He let out a deep, audible sigh before rising from his seat and making his way towards the bedroom.The door creaked open softly. In the dim light, Dave could still clearly see Aurora's beautiful face, now peacefully asleep. He slowly approached the bed and slipped under the covers. Now, he could gaze at her lovely face without interruption. His hand gently brushed away a strand of hair that partially obscured Aurora's face. Dave couldn't believe that the girl he loved so deeply was lying beside him.Suddenly, a surge of irritation washed over him as he thought about how reckless Aurora had been, driving all the way to his apartment by herself. Her stubborn and headstrong nature was what o
Aurora closed her eyes as Dave's lips gently brushed against hers, her hands clutching Dave's shirt tightly. Despite her logical thoughts telling her to resist, her body had a different idea. She found herself enjoying Dave's tender affection. Dave's right hand held the back of Aurora's head, deepening the kiss. As time passed, the kiss grew more passionate, and small moans escaped Aurora's lips. Slowly, Aurora began responding to Dave's kiss, guided by her instincts. Both of them were lost in the kiss, completely absorbed in the moment, until Dave's hands began to unbutton Aurora's shirt, leaving only her black bra clinging to her body. Dave held back a groan, his gaze darkened with desire. Aurora couldn't resist; she was also relishing every touch from Dave. Aurora felt like she was floating, experiencing pleasure she had never felt before. Dave's lips explored every inch of Aurora's neck, leaving behind marks of possession."Dave," a soft, breat
Dave finally decided to go swimming in the morning to cool off the turmoil that had been awakened every time he was near Aurora. It seemed that maintaining a long-distance relationship (LDR) was the best decision rather than continuing to make mistakes. Dave knew what he had done to Aurora was sinful, but for a man who had recently turned to a more Daveout path, it was incredibly challenging to resist. Moreover, he used to be accustomed to one-night stands (ONS) with many women.That girl had come into his life quite unexpectedly, like a nuclear bomb, demolishing the sturdy defenses he had built over three years. And what was worse, she was so innocent that she never realized her revealing outfits often stirred the curiosity of men who wanted to explore her smooth, enticing body. Dave was one of them, constantly craving for her to become his."Dave, why didn't you invite me to swim?" Aurora asked, standing by the poolside without Dave notici
While Dave was picking up his car, Aurora waited in the apartment lobby, playing with her phone and checking her social media accounts. Many comments filled her post from three days ago when she endorsed a local brand called Stargirl, known for producing high-quality products equivalent to famous foreign brands. Stargirl has already introduced three flagship products: sneakers, high heels, and handbags. Affordable prices with guaranteed quality have made Stargirl popular among teenagers. Aurora's smile widened as the positive response to the product she endorsed had captured the interest of her followers on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.Tin... The sound of a motorcycle horn immediately diverted Aurora's attention from the flat object she was holding. Her lips parted in amazement as she saw Dave on a sportbike she knew must have cost a fortune. The man smiled behind his full-face helmet, instantly making Aurora's heart race again.
Dave's intuition finally became a reality when a car with a license plate number bearing the letter "B" was neatly parked in front of his girlfriend's house. He felt a mixture of exhaustion after a 7-hour drive and apprehension about how Aurora's parents would react when they found out their daughter had spent the night with a man. Negative thoughts were likely to cross their minds.Dave took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, gazing at Aurora's peaceful face as she sat in the passenger seat beside him. Slowly, Dave's hand reached out to move a strand of hair that covered her face. He traced every inch of Aurora's beautiful face, committing it all to memory, as this might be his last chance to see his beloved until he was satisfied. The feeling of not wanting to let go filled his heart, and even a brief separation drove him nearly insane. If what was currently tormenting his mind were to become a reality, Dave wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Perhaps the
After hearing her mother's statement, Aurora immediately reached for the plate on the nightstand and Daveoured the food until it was finished. Maria chuckled and handed her a glass of orange juice, which Aurora drank quickly. Maria couldn't believe how deep her daughter's love for the man named Dave was.Later that evening, Arabella and her husband, along with Baby Azka, came for dinner. The dinner went smoothly with a warm atmosphere, although Maria felt something was missing due to the absence of Hendrik, her husband. She had never been separated from her husband like this before, and suddenly, a feeling of anxiety overwhelmed her. Had Hendrik eaten yet or not? But Maria tried to distract herself by looking at Aurora's smile, which had returned after a few gloomy days. She was relieved to see her little girl now laughing happily with the adorable Baby Azka.Now they were relaxing on the floor mattress in the living room, joki
Maria didn't want to waste the remaining time in Yogyakarta. She planned to host a family dinner and invited her only sibling who lived in Yogyakarta, Alan, her brother-in-law and Hendrik's close friend. Before Hendrik arrived the next day, Maria had already planned the dinner with Erika, her sister-in-law.This morning, the women, consisting of Maria, Erika, Arabella, and Laura, had gathered at Aurora's house. Due to Aurora's minimalist kitchen, they transformed the backyard into a makeshift kitchen and dining area. Since it was a Saturday, the men were still busy with work at their respective offices until midday. So, it was Aurora who had the task of looking after Baby Azka, who was in her active and exploratory phase. It was quite overwhelming for Aurora, but at the same time, it served as a distraction from her constant thoughts about Dave."Aurora still seems a bit down, Ma?" Arabella asked while observing Aurora playing with Baby Azka
