" Augh bitter, YOU DEVIL PIECE OF GARBAGE. "

Benjamin laughed happily putting his fingers under his chin watching the barista washing her tongue by the sink losing her tember.

He took the tray and went back to Mia in silence leaving Layla who is cursing his butt behind the counter.

He sat, activating his anti-social mode again as Mia is fixing her makeup.

" What took you so long? "

He ignored Mia taking a sip from his cup and placing Mia's cup in front of her at the same time.

" Hmm, sweet. "

He said out loud as if he means to anger Layla more, and he succeeded as that let Layla rolls her eyes greeting newcomers.

He tastes the same place that Layla drank from which is delicious.

Benjamin blocked his ears from Mia's talk as he remembers that night with Bonnie again he decided to forget but everything just makes him remember.

...................

He continued to kiss Bonnie as he tried to untie her mask but she grabbed his hand.

" Please no, I want to forget who I'm, what I've done, I'm tired. "

Bonnie begged him looking at him as the tears are rolling, he wiped her cheeks without asking again kissing her neck as she kept rocking her body.

" Just for tonight Let me forget who I'm, please. "

Bonnie kissed his devil mask As he grinned and hugged her, whispering.

" I can make you forget anything Bonnie, your name, your misery, just give in completely, let me own you. "

The Devil breathes hard as he already forgets himself to the system he own.

[ Hey let's kill her. ]

The system was ready to take her soul away but Benjamin lost his mind to the pleasure.

To her sadness.

He doesn't want to kill her yet.

Not yet, let me enjoy more.

He continues to ruin her body under his soft and rough touch, it's been hours since they entered this room.

He wants to take revenge upon who makes her sad.

" Thank you, Mr Devil, I didn't expect you to, let me cry freely. "

Bonnie whispered kissing him harder as they were looking into each other eyes, afraid of this moment to end.

" How about another night tomorrow? With your real name this time? "

He asked her as a whisper a flame escape his eyes when he continued to hear her faint cries.

That is so exciting.

The question came out of his lips without knowing it, is he really inviting her for one more night?

He won't kill her now?

His sweet little rabbit.

" Meeting the real me won't impress you, Mr Devil, but, I promise you. "

Bonnie whispered kissing his nose as the Devil smirks continues to make love to her.

....................

" Benjamin! Are you alright? "

Mia succeeds to take him out of his memory with a slap on his face.

" You are crying!! "

Mia is shocked as Benjamin chuckles and wipes his tears away.

" Yeah I'm, I guess. "

As a man with devil system he can move freely into his past memories as if it was happening in front of him.

His eyes watering from excitement.

Benjamin took two steps out the café as Mia is grabbing his arm.

" You're not thinking about her again right? "

Mia asked him as he nods in silence, then Mia looked at his crouch.

" Emm, I don't know what you just imagined but... "

Benjamin followed her sight as he closed his coat.

" I'm sorry, I must have been tired these days, the weather is hot today. "

Benjamin went to his car, Mia grabbed his arm before he does.

" Hey wait! You know! I'm always available, right? Do you know? If you want to do it I can help you! "

Mia spoke as she hides her face in embarrassment when Benjamin is raising an eyebrow.

" Aah, I have work to do, I don't have time to sleep around. "

Benjamin rejected her, entering his car.

" Maybe the rumors are true after all. "

Benjamin heard Mia mumbling in anger he opened his window to look at her.

" Take a taxi, and yes, it might be true, I'm a big womanizer who sleeps with actresses and singers, strippers too, I might be the serial killer too! if you want to leave me, just do it. "

Benjamin said it casually while driving to his company.

Layla is taking the same road on the bus without the both of them even noticing each other.

They're so close yet so far.

" I hope the janitor has it! He was cleaning, maybe he saw it, I'll search for him. "

Layla hopes and ran as soon as the bus stops.

" If I'm late to Salas' class he will ask me where I was, god, please let me find it quickly. "

" Finally I'm here, COMING THROUGH. "

The elevator with ' workers only ' was about to shut its doors before Layla slides to the ground to make her foot stop the elevator.

Everyone is looking at her strangely, especially the man inside the elevator which Layla recognized immediately.

" Ah, it's you, don't worry, I'm not here to take revenge on you yet, I'm here for something important. "

Layla explained quickly as Benjamin is still surprised before he ignores her looking back at the scenario in his hand.

" He is an actor after all. "

Layla mumbled, as her curiosity made her look at the papers in his hand, there are indeed two characters that look like a love-making scene.

Benjamin looked at her from the corner of his eyes before turning his head towards her completely.

He wanted to ask her if she is here to watch the play but then he swallowed the words when she pressed the number three on the elevator all of a sudden.

which made the elevator stop completely.

" What did you do? It works by fingerprints only! "

Benjamin asked annoyed and he proceeded to wipe her fingerprint with a handkerchief.

" Why it's by fingerprints? I got in an elevator last night but it was more crowded. "

Layla explained as Benjamin inhales looking at her, frustrated.

" How late should I be more than that already, they're expecting me! The play is about to start. "

He complained trying to calm himself taking off his coat in anger as Layla felt like she did something wrong but at the same time why did they have a different elevator, to begin with, not to mention working with fingerprints?

Layla tried to focus on how this man is angry instead of the feeling that she is under many blanks while her house is about to blow up.

" Breathe, breathe. "

Layla shut her eyes as the tears were about to fall remembering what happened 6 years ago

" Concentrate. "

Layla hugged herself as Benjamin looked at her, he notices immediately, there was something wrong, she hates being locked up.

He wanted to smile so badly at her misery but then he will have to wipe that scene from the camera on this elevator which there is no time for this.

He begins to call someone to open the elevator for them as he took many glances at the scared barista who is still holding her tears in.

" Okay, we will be waiting. "

Benjamin ended the call, he took small steps just to touch the barista's hair.

" Are you alright? Layla? That's your name right? "
