Babel Novel
Sorry, are you okay?
The Italian looked at the young man smiling, waiting for some reaction from him. And he blinked.
_Nice to meet you, I love your country. The beaches are beautiful.
_Oh wow, I’m a big fan of yours, I love your songs.
_Thank you very much.
_Let’s sit there Benjamin.
_We’re going to play in a little while, and I’m going to dedicate a song to you. – Damiano said, winking at Benjamin.
_Thanks .Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Damiano greeted his friend Oliver and left them to go to the stage with the other members.
Benjamin looked at the people there dancing excitedly, while the band Maneskin wasn’t playing, there the DJ took the lead.
The house was full and Oliver sat drinking peach tea, he didn’t want to drink alcohol. And he ordered Benjamin a drink. He insisted on paying for his drink.
Benjamin was already on his third glass of orange juice. And he looked stupidly at his boss.
Oliver now remembered the plan between him and his two faithful squires. He looked at Benjamin, watching him enjoy the sound of Maneskin. Delighted with the band’s performance.
Until Damiano announces the song Begging and everyone starts singing and dancing.
Oliver looks at the people dancing and looks at Benjamin who was moving his head to the beat of the music.
He enjoyed seeing how much fun Benjamin had. He wasn’t shy about dancing. Some of Oliver’s friends asked him to dance on the dance floor and pulled Benjamin along too. They almost both fell onto the table. But Oliver managed to grab Benjamin by the waist.
_Sorry, are you okay? _Yes, boss. I am fine. Thanks.
Damiano went down to the dance floor where Oliver and Benjamin were and danced and sang with them. Benjamin let loose with his weird dance and some people started laughing at him. But Benjamin didn’t care, he had fun. Even Damiano danced with him. Doing the steps. The people at the club saw that Damiano imitated Benjamin and helped him with some steps, everyone started dancing just like Benjamin.
Benjamin was loving it, he knew how to sing all of Maneskin’s songs until Damiano hugged him and performed with Benjamin as if he wanted to kiss him, and threw himself close to him, kneeling in front of Benjamin. And Benjamin got a little shy and looked towards Oliver who was just watching.
Damiano looked at Oliver and insinuated himself towards Benjamin, which made Oliver serious.
“I don’t like this” thought Oliver.
Damiano and guitarist Thomas danced close to Benjamin with some people on the dance floor. Benjamin couldn’t believe what was happening. He had never had so much fun as he did now and he smiled at Oliver who was looking at him seriously.
Damiano, anticipating understanding the mood between his friend and the secretary, changed the song. Now he sang the song The Loneliest. The music was slower and he approached Oliver and pulled him into the middle of the dance floor with Benjamin. And he left the two there and went up on stage with the members.
Benjamin looked at Oliver, swallowing hard. Around them other people were dancing together in pairs. Couples, male and female lovers dancing together.
Oliver didn’t know what to do if he danced like that with his secretary. At all times he remembered the plan he had agreed with Martin Zhan and Armand.
“My God, I can’t fool this man, play with him like that”
Benjamin looked shyly at Oliver and watched the people dancing together. He didn’t know what to do and thought.
“My God and now, everyone here dancing as a couple, I love this song, but why did it have to be like this even more so with him, my boss, so beautiful”
The music was slow and Oliver walked closer to Benjamin and smiled at him. Looking deep into his eyes. And Benjamin did the same.
Oliver took Benjamin’s hand and wrapped it around him, holding it gently, placing his hand on his waist and pulling him closer to him.
At the touch of his hand on Benjamin’s body he shivered. At the moment Benjamin couldn’t look Oliver in the eye. His heart was beating fast, his breathing was a little weak.
“Calm down Benjamin, my God I can’t believe this is happening”
Benjamin leaned his head on Oliver’s shoulder and the two danced to the music.
Benjamin closed his eyes enjoying the moment until .
Oliver lightly pushed Benjamin away. Looking into his eyes. Benjamin was so embarrassed that he couldn’t look at him then.
-Look at me Benjamin. I wanted to tell you something.
_Yes, boss. Whatever you want.
_Don’t call me boss. Call me Oliver. Your Oliver.
_Oliver. Whatever you want.
_I wanted to tell you something, but I don’t know how to say it.
“Ahhh I can’t believe it”
_Just say, whatever you want, I’m here.
_ Since the first day I saw you, I felt things I never felt. I can’t stop thinking about you
_Swear?
_Yes Benjamin, I think…
_Yes, speak .
_Me me
_Say Oliver.
_I love you Benjamin. And I want .
_What?
Oliver didn’t finish and pulled Benjamin’s Paolailar in for a kiss.
-Oh? Benjamin? Hey Benjamin? Benjamin!
_Ah. Ahh hi boss, what happened?
_The band is already over. Let’s go ?
“Damn it was a dream. A dream so beautiful that I didn’t want to wake up”
_Benjamin! By God man wake up. We need to leave.
_Yes, boss, of course. Let’s go .
It was just a dream. The band Maneskin had finished the show, I couldn’t even say goodbye to them. Oliver took the things and paid for the drinks and left and I followed him.
He took the car key. And I entered.
It was silent in the car. I was shaking. And sometimes I looked at him and he was serious. He looked a little sleepy.
Until his cell phone rings.
_Damn, what a scare.
_It’s your cell phone, boss.
_I know Benjamin. Hello!
” Hi Oliver, where are you? ”
-Ah, what do you want, Martin Zhan?
“How was the lovebirds’ night?”
_Man, I’m dying of sleep, I need to drop Benjamin off at his house, we’ll talk tomorrow.
“Ahhh how cute, go leave him at the house, don’t forget to kiss the ugly thing ok”
_Shut up Martin Zhan.
And he hung up furious.
– Oh, are you ok, boss?
_It’s okay Benjamin, you must be tired, I’ll leave you at your house.
_Thank you boss. It’s been a wonderful night.
_All good.
When they arrived. Benjamin picked up his things and then looked into Oliver’s eyes as he stared at him. The two exchanged glances for a minute.
“I can’t do this to him. Damn the time I accepted this plan”
“My God. He’s staring at me. Is he going to kiss me? What do I do?”
– Damn it ! Something fell in my eye.
-Our boss. What happened?
-I don’t know. Maybe some dirt.
-Let me help you!
Oliver wasn’t seeing anything. An insect got into his left eye and he started having an allergic reaction.
-The drug is burning. Benjamin was an insect that entered. I have allergy .
