The Passion Of My Enemy
** doubt **
"Basic man!" A slow stabbing was triggered unintentionally from Reggie's lips. His eyes looked at Derek's partner and the red-haired woman on the dance floor. The closeness and affectionate movements they made made Reggie feel annoyed. Repeatedly he glanced at Nonanya who was sitting with Alex. Reggie catches Amy's pale face just before she takes control of him and pretends to be happy.
"He Evangeline ... Eve. He's one of Derek's best men. They were only close as friends, like brothers, nothing more." Mike explains who Eve is after hearing Reggie's impersonation.
Reggie grunting.
"Well .. friends who look very lustful. You see that woman's chest? Why would she choose such a very revealing dress if not for the purpose of flirting? His chest is like it's gonna spill!" Reggie grumbling.
Mike chuckles. "Sure that if he intends to flirt, then the target is not Derek, Regina."
Reggie looked up to hear Mike.
"I think the target is all male-sex beings with eyes that are still functioning!" Reggie murmur.
"So you admit he does look tempting, right? Even by you who are female."
Reggie glared furiously at Mike. "I never said that. You said he was tempting!"
Mike pulled Reggie's arm. Wrapped around the girl's waist. "Holden your emotions Regina, there are a lot of people here. Wait for us to come home and you can come back and get me into a fight."
A red clove running down Reggie's cheeks. Recall his quarrel with Mike when he came home and found the door of his room locked. Reggie wakes up because Mike broke down and broke the door. Mike is furious that Reggie has not heeded his orders to stop locking the door. They had a fight, Reggie couldn't accept Mike invading his bedroom. The arrogant Mike said It was his room, his apartment. And Reggie hitchhiked, so whatever order he had to obey.
The nightmare that had graced her night was still continuing. But as long as Mike began to accompany him, the dream no longer lasted long, and the frequency had already been much reduced. Mike would wake her up right away if Reggie started whimpering or yelling.
"Get your hand off, Mike. I won't fight with you."
Mike flicked his finger at Reggie's nose.
"Well .. so. Good girl."

The melody that accompanied the dance ended. Derek leads Eve to the couch where Alex is still waiting with Amy. Leave Eve's hand to Alex who has been standing waiting.
"Where else are you going around?" ask Alex to Eve
"Don't get upset Alex. In order to pay for your defeat in the firing zone the other day, you must obey all my will. Let's get some fresh air outside."
Derek raised his eyebrows. "You're losing again?" ask Alex.
"He was just lucky a few cents."
Alex's reply made Eve snort. "You always lose, Alex!"
Eve turned her attention to Amy, smiling and winking her eyes teasingly.
"Be careful little girl ..your husband-to-be is a hungry lion. Don't believe in his good attitude."
"Go Eve." Derek hissing.
"He will eat you and tear you apart." Eve's finger mimicked the claw gripping.
Alex drags Eve out of the place, ignoring Eve's outcry and mockery. Stop Eve's provocation that deliberately wants to upset Derek.
"Don't listen to that woman."
Derek looked at Amy who saw the departure of the couple who moved away towards the balcony exit.
Amy looked at herself.
Little girl, she called him a little girl.
"Sweety ... What's wrong?"
Questions that made Amy stammer. Trying to display a normal attitude back and self-confidence.
"Ti .. no, no," he said short.
"Don't tell me you were nervous before the wedding."
"What makes you nervous? Things will go according to plan."
"I know, it's just. .. It might feel different if my parents were still around"
Derek took a deep breath, approached and pulled Amy in his arms.
"Come here, Sweety."
"It would be nice to talk about everything with them."
"Sweety, I'll do anything for you, I'll look after and protect you. Arthur and Margaretha can rest in nature there, for I will keep my promise."
Can you tell me you love me? Can you do it now? Amy snared her question inwardly.
"We will marry and make promises before God, only a few people will attend. Then after that, then we entertain all the wedding party guests . You don't have to be nervous, isn't the one going through the whole process not just yourself? You'll live it all with me."
Smiling seductively Derek pulled Amy's chin, kissing her girl without caring about the many eyes that looked at them and even giggling brightly.
Amy who took a voracious breath after the kiss ended up frowning. " Can you stop the sudden act of hugging or kissing me in front of this other person!? You made everyone watch us."
"Don't scold me, Sweety. So have mercy on me and let me just hug or kiss you."
"I look forward to the moment you turn yourself in. Without coercion, share my passion, enjoy every touch on your skin that is not covered by a thread."
"Derek!" Amy spread her gaze around them, making sure no one who heard Derek's chuckling speech saw his girl who met red.
"You know ... Eve's right .. I can't wait to eat you."
Amy looked up at Derek who was still laughing. Back feeling uneasy hearing Eve's name called.
What is your relationship actually close? Why can she hug and even lean on your shoulder is so natural as breathing. You laugh, dance and even hug her . I'm restless Derek .. The woman is sexy and sensual. What's the reason you want to marry me Derek? You never said you loved me. Don't say this because you want me to get married, so that all my father's assets and business empire can be inherited and then you'll rule ....
So many questions jumped through Amy's mind and there was no answer. Until the choice is to wait, live it every day and hope that everything has the best answer as he wants.

Amy breathed fresh air on the balcony, the beautiful melody of the music that accompanies the dancing people all the way to where she now stands. Taking a deep breath he looked towards the sky full of stars. Brazing Derek's face will soon be her husband but unable to dispel the doubts entrenched in the heart about Derek's true feelings .
"Beautiful right?"
The melodious voice reprimanding her made Amy turn her head. Found the red-haired woman who had teased her heart since their meeting had stood up with a glass of drink in hand.
Amy tried to smile, then nodded.
"You look worried."
Amy shook her head, still looking at the sky without heeding Eve's words.
"Love clapping one hand is painful isn't it."
Amy turned her head quickly, looking at Eve who was staring at the sky with a bitter smile.
"Can't be with the man you love with all your heart. Let him choose what he wants."
Amy gulped, feeling connected to Eve's every utterance.
Is Derek the guy he meant?
"But believe me. I will never give up, even if he chooses to be with someone."
Eve smiled brightly at Amy, sipping her drink slowly again.
The two stared at the flickering stars in the sky with their respective wandering minds. Letting the silence spread along with the cold wind that began to feel piercing even to the hearts of the two.
