Could You Fall For A Woman Like Me?

Part 1

Overcast enveloped her hometown , a little worried but a lot of questions in her head
. Dry leaves were flying in the cold wind at the end of November, the gust slapped his face slowly which was covered in long jet black hair. He is Nathanael Warrington; her freaking bestfriend. El standing alone in airport parking area, he looked up and parted his hair so that she could see his face clearly, there was a sharp nose with dark blue eyes and a little freckles around his nose bone; he smiled at her. She is Laura Laurenzky that waved half-heartedly at him then walked quickly towards El. He fastened Laura's scarft , the dark yellow scarf that Nann (Laura's friend in Indonesia) had just given before she came here, London.

" Welcome back, Laura. " El smiled warmly while carrying Laura's bags.

"I can carry all these things. " said Laura while pulling her bags from El's hand.

El shook his head confused, but he still smiling at her.

He walk first into his car . "Alright. Wanna go to Kennington Lane Cafe? It's a long time we are not chillin' there like usually, Lau!" he asked cheerfully.

" Sixteen Road , there is an apartment named Niory across from the Kiyo Coffee Shop so leave me there, we will meet up later."

"This wasn't a good idea..... I waiting for you since this morning....no since you go."

"I have booked that apartment." She whispered forlornly.

"Noooooo! Why you do that! Instead book that freaking apartment , you can live with me."

" That is a worse. Shall we go?" she asked with a small smile .

"Okay , but after you look at your apart , we will go together. Okkkkay ?"

"hmmmm" she looked down and squeezed the hem of her shirt, she felt nervousness.

On the way, El notice that something happen with Laura at the time. Laura squeezed the hem of her shirt again and again. However El afraid to ask her. Imagine that, El never knew why Laura went to Indonesia. He also never knew what happened to Laura. How could it not be, El's calls were always rejected by Laura, everyday. Just two short messages the day he arrived in Indonesia and before he returned to London. "arrived in Indonesia and the end of November will be back there" and "my flight schedule will arrived this afternoon". He so kind also patient facing Laura day by day.

Then , they sit in the same car but there is no sound , they do not talk to each other. It is ironic, but El is still patient to wait for her to talk about something wrong. He now if Laura in this situation, she hate everyone that disturb her. El knows that Laura not in a good mood, so El try to not disturb her.

 Laura looked at El and whisper "Would you like to forget me?"

Suddenly, "What's wrong Laura?!"

"I know you know about our relationship....El stop pretending like we are fine"

"I don't want to ruin this friendship, but there are things you should know ..."

Laura hugged El and said something softly in El's ear. His voice was low and hoarse, something that El had never imagined before.

El's heart was beating fast, his breath caught and his hands squeezed hard on the steering wheel, he swerved to the left and stopped. Laura cried uncontrollably and covered her face with her tiny hands.

"El sooner or later you must leave me" Laura sobbed beside El.

El felt hurt , how dare Laura says this. After all the things that had happened between them.

"How should I convince you, just hearing your voice I can't bear to go... ..aahhhh! Give me a chance . Just one . Please Laura! "

"You deserve better than me, Elllll!"

"No, you don't have to think about it, trust me. Just give me 21 days to hate you and then I can let you go and forget you."
