Love Shot
The Return of the Companion of the Carib

Everything was a mess, not only Liam's work room was a mess but his heart was also scattered. Liam straightened his legs, calming his thumping heart. The incident that Liam passed today was very draining his heart as well, making him feel a strange thing.

Liam sighed as he pulled out the glass shards in his palm. The wound wasn't deep, it was just that his blood was still dripping from there. Liam has not been able to stand, just sitting with a work desk as a backup. Liam pulled the tie open it forcefully, pressed the wound on the palm then wrapped around the black tie to reduce the drops of blood to the floor. Liam is still reluctant to move even just to take a tissue alone it feels reluctant let alone to clean up the messy work space like an earthquake.

Liam looked up while closing his eyes. Lately he has become a melancholy man, his eyes are easy to heat up and then water droplets flow from there. There is no one who can be used as a pedestal when he is injured and feels sad. Liam needs attention, he feels lonely like no one cares about his situation. When misfortune strikes him, he misses someone. Someone who has always been watching him is watching himself. Who else if not Freya. Liam's tears trickled as he recalled the bitter memories that Freya and himself had managed to pass through.

"L crybaby," said Flora crouched down before Liam.

Liam jerked open his eyes then hastily wiped his tears violently until a red stain stuck to Liam's cheek. Flora held Liam's hand as Liam was about to wipe his tears again.

"Crying .. I'm used to seeing you cry and even seeing you cry until your nose is wet with snot" said Flora. Flora did not know how to calm a crying man. Flora could only rebuke making the man even sadder. Although they had been friends since childhood, Flora never calmed Liam down when Liam was sad, because most of Floralah was the cause of Liam crying. It would be easier if in front of Freya, Flora just took her shopping or eating a lot when her best friend was crying. The way it is very powerful, Freya's cries usually immediately stop.

"Let me see your hand" Flora unrolled the tie wrapped around Liam's wound. "It's a minor wound, stop crying." Flora wiped the blood on Liam's palm and then attached a plaster with dinosaur images to cover the wound. "It's healing soon. Don't tell my mom I hurt you."

Flora threatens Liam. Flora is often scolded by her mother just for making Liam cry. Before Freya, Liam was Flora's only friend. Flora is very happy to oppress Liam until Liam cries although eventually Flora will get scolding from her parents.

Understandably his mother really wants to have a son but they are only given a daughter then his mother made Liam his favorite son. Moreover, Flora's father always compare and boast Liam makes Flora even more hate and very jealous of Liam.

Flora's parents always kept Flora from sticking with Liam. Especially after Liam's father died, Flora's parents worried about Liam more than their daughter. Liam's late father was a close friend of Flora's father so after Liam's father died Flora's father became the figure of the deceased's successor father.

Flora is still grateful that her father is only a substitute for Liam's father figure instead of being Liam's stepfather. Liam looked at the plaster that Flora had placed. "Nothing plain. It's like a snot kid" Liam protested.

"It's a good thing I stick it. If I don't want to, I've pulled it back. Get your hands, "flora's asking for Liam's hand.

Liam raised his hand. "Just say that no one else does not need to take back the goods that have been given." Liam stood his feet stepping up to take the package of food he dropped earlier. "You eat together .. I buy sea food."

"It's already fallen !" Flora looked at the disdain of Liam who opened his food package.

"Only the plane has fallen. The box hasn't been opened yet" Liam said, opening the food box.

Flora's eyes sparkled looking at the bag of sea food Liam released. Flora approached sitting sweetly on the chair opposite Liam. Liam took out his lunch menu. "Why come back here ?" asked Liam to give Flora plastic gloves.

"I'm afraid you're reporting to my mom" Flora argued, hiding her true intentions as to why she's returning to Liam's study. Actually, he intends to apologize and help Liam clean up broken glass so that the room can again look neat as ever.

"I used to complain to mom and dad ?! I don't think I've ever done anything like the one you're accusing me of," Liam said, stuffing scallop meat into his mouth.

There was relief in his heart, it felt like Liam had not had lunch while chatting insignificant things with Flora. It is undeniable that since he was in love with Freya, and Flora was in love with Jonathan their friendship became tenuous. they keep a safe distance so that there is no jealousy arising in the heart of their respective partners because of their closeness.

"How's Jonathan ?" liam asked to find out how far their relationship had gone.

"Thank God he's not like me" said Liam admitted that he is a man who does not have a heart.

"Liam opened the shell for me, it's very difficult" Flora's pint thrusting the mussel at Liam. Flora switched the conversation that made Liam melt back. Flora did not expect Liam to easily agree that the trick made Flora feel like a bad person here.

"Just eat lobster, shrimp, carrots and jangung if you can't open them" ledek Liam sneered.

"Should I call my Jonathan just to help me open the clams," murmured Flora, upset that he asked Liam not to be granted.

Liam clucked in disbelief that Flora had to carry Jonathan around just because she couldn't do anything easy. Finally Liam opened the shells and then thrust on his little friend. Flora opened her mouth receiving a bribe from Liam then chuckled.

"Again ... again !" pinta Flora's.

This time Liam granted Flora's request, he continued to open the shell and put it into Flora's mouth until Flora's chubby cheeks became more and more bubbly filled with shells.

"Khamuuu massshhh sedich ?" flora asked in the diving chewed her food.

"Slow down your food first if you talk !" Liam wiped the sauce that stuck to Flora's cheeks. "That's a rhetorical question, you already know the answer."

Flora just nodded in understanding. For a moment she forgot her stress. "It's delicious, I like it. Next time buy me some more food like this."

"There are foods you don't like ?! just finish the food in front of you first" said Liam opened his plastic gloves.

"Why stop, are you full ?" flora asked felt bad that only she was still eating.

"Eat it quietly no matter what. Just looking at you, I'm full. Finish the shells, I'm not all. I want to wash my hands first" Liam said, stepping into the bathroom.

"Don't just wash your hands, wash your face. Your cheeks are filled with blood" cried Flora reminding Liam. He still enjoys the shells Liam has opened.

Liam snorted, seeing his reflection reflected. There was a blood stain drying up on his cheek. "Flo you still like to bully me. Why are you always present when my appearance is chaotic and never justify it. You haven't changed a bit." Liam smiled washing his handsome face. There was a bit of warmth that spread slowly to his heart thanks to the return of a sidekick that Liam could always invite to chat casually no longer an enemy that always ignited his emotions.
