Love, Maybe
Chapter 11's

Jane swung Aiden's body slowly in her arms. He was unceasingly staring at the tiny face that was sleeping in his arms. After finishing one bottle of milk, Aiden's lips evaporated several times, then his eyelids began to close slowly. A typical baby, after drinking milk and then sleeping. Though Jane wants to play even longer with her little son, considering all day he was busy taking care of the house. But Jane was not entirely disappointed, because staring at Aiden's face with closed eyelids, which seemed peaceful with a mind that might have been wandering in the dream world, was enough to produce its own energy for Jane.

Yeah, Aiden's a source of energy for Jane. He recalled the first time he saw Aiden, seconds after Jane's eyes caught the presence of the tiny baby, his heart had vowed that Aiden was the reason to live now.

Jane's steps knitted toward the edge of the bed, where Felix sat and watched her from earlier. Tonight they will share a room. Because Jane forgot to hang Aiden's dirty mattress. Besides, there's no way Jane would let Felix sleep on the couch. Moreover, that young man was sick right now. And that's why it is.

Jane handed him the little baby and was immediately greeted by Felix. Even though the man's face was down now, Jane's eyes could still catch a knotty smile on Felix's face. How Felix couldn't bear to not smile when his eyes were pampered with the sight of Aiden's sleeping face. Because the sight really soothed his heart. It was like spending time with the music created by his finger dance on the keys. It was like the smell of coffee greeted his sense of smell as he concocted his favorite latte. Such was the effect of the scene before him against a Felix Setiawan.

However, there are those that make it even more opium. That is when Felix lowered his head and kissed Aiden's gray hair slowly. Then the distinctive aroma of a baby that emanates from Aiden's body, becomes a sedative for him.

It turns out that Jane gave Aiden to Felix not without reason. After a small smile at Felix and Aiden, Jane approached her dresser and picked up a small bottle. Then his legs re-knit a step towards Felix. Huddled beside Felix, Jane rubbed into Felix's hand wrapped around the bandage. Felix was not bothered because he could carry Aiden with his hand. Jane then reopened Felix's bandage. For a moment the girl grimaced to see Felix's wound. The wound was clearer than before, and it looked rather horrifying. Jane could imagine how painful the wound was.

Not lingering, Jane opened a small bottle that was none other than the ointment she had taken at the dressing table. Then painstakingly, Jane began to rub it over Felix's wound. Jane does not deny that the hands of a Felix Setiawan quite beautiful and Jane will feel guilty if it causes a scar lodged there. After she finished applying the ointment, Jane blew on it for a moment, then re-wrapped it with a new bandage. Then the same thing Jane did to Felix's other hand. All of this was done carefully and carefully.

After everything was done, Jane returned to Aiden from Felix's company, and he was about to move Aiden to the middle of the bed. The action was of course reaped a dislike gaze from Felix. But the man did not protest anything. Jane went straight to bed after putting Aiden down. He pulled out a partial blanket and said to Felix. “Tomorrow I have a meeting, so I will leave for the office early in the morning.”

Felix nodded in understanding. However, Jane returned with doubt. “Uhm... does it matter if I leave you two alone?”

Again Felix nodded. Even so, the look of worry does not also subside from the face of Jane. The girl should be worried considering she left Aiden with Felix whose incident could not use both of her injured hands. Taking care of Aiden alone when healthy is already troublesome, especially if you are injured?

“I promise I will definitely go home sooner.”

Felix looked over and smiled at Jane. “It's okay, Jane. You do not need to rush home if there is a lot of work in the office. Me and Aiden will be fine.”

Jane cursed in her heart. He was upset at Papa who still forced himself to attend the meeting even though he knew about Felix's condition.

Pulling the blanket over her chin, Jane turned to Felix. Although this was not the first time, there was still a sense of awkwardness when Jane was about to say it. Plus tonight they're back sharing rooms, even the same bed. Although separated by Aiden who was in the middle. Jane is not used to this situation. Finally, softly and a little nervous, Jane said. “S-good night..”

“Goodnight, Jane.” says no less slowly than Felix ended the conversation that night. The next split second of silence that took over. The sound of breathing changing regularly was heard, a sign that one of them had fallen asleep.

Supplying a lot of oxygen into the lungs, Felix pampered the smell of peach that seemed to fill the room. Shortly thereafter, his eyes opened. Yes, Jane was the one who fell asleep. Exhausted, the girl fell asleep in less than ten minutes. And Felix? Not that he could not sleep, but the man was intent on waiting for Jane to sleep first. Because Felix's next activity is to rise from his sleeping position and move Aiden's tiny body to his right side.

His injured hand made Felix need more effort despite Aiden's body weight that did not even reach four kilograms. Not to forget Felix surrounded Aiden's body with bolsters. Then the man's body inched into the middle of the bed. Felix almost jumped when Jane's body wriggled small. Jane's body moved to the center. The timing is right because Felix has already moved Aiden. But Felix did not consider when he returned to relax, if the distance and Jane became closer than before. Even now the smell of peach is clearly smelled from Jane's chocolate mane that decomposes.

Instead of distancing himself, Felix turned his head toward Jane. Of course it makes his eyes can trace the smooth face of Jane freely. The girl looked peaceful as well as beautiful while sleeping. Surprisingly, it makes Felix not want to turn away a single inch. As if this opportunity is a shame to waste. Because on a daily basis, Felix couldn't possibly be this close to Jane. Suddenly Felix's eyes catch the lashes that fall under Jane's eyes. Initially reluctant, Felix finally carefully reached out his hand and took the eyelashes. Felix can clearly feel the soft texture that touches the tip of his index finger. The man returned to cross. Turning his body away a little, Felix hugged Aiden by his side even tighter. He could only hope that he would be able to sleep tonight.

...***...

The sun has positioned itself in the eastern horizon. Hit an apartment building with its yellowish light. Enter into the cracks of the main room window from one of the apartments on the seventh floor. Make room temperature warm. A girl squirms under her thick blanket. Jane, the girl's name, clenched her arms at the figure next to her, trying to find the most comfortable position to sleep even longer even though her phone had been vibrating on the nightstand. His head twitched over the chest of the field of a person who was his pillow all night. Jane can clearly feel the chin of a person touching the tip of her nose. There was also a large palm that was on display in the crown of the girl. Inhaling a deep masculine scent, Jane opened her eyelids slowly, about to end her sleeping activities this morning. Welcome a new day with a new activity, or more specifically start the day with a annoying meeting that his papa thinks is important.

A meeting?

Jane's eyelids are perfectly open. God, how could that girl forget that she was going to attend this morning's meeting. However, not yet complete Jane's shock, the girl needs a few pieces of consciousness to realize on whose chest her head is resting at this time. Swallowing her saliva, Jane raised her face slowly, accompanied by her abnormal heartbeat.

Oh God.

Jane gulped once more, as her eyes caught Felix's sleeping face, just above his head. Their distance was too close until Jane could feel the roar of Felix's breath now on her face. Jane doesn't know what color her face is right now. Because really, the feeling of shame is now more dominating than the feeling of panic because he will be late meeting.

Very slowly and hoping that the young man would not open his eyes and catch her wet, Jane distanced her body. Jane immediately put away the thick blanket wrapped around her body. Fortunately Jane's lips compromised more by not screaming. Because, he did not expect it to be like this. So before Felix actually opened his eyes, Jane got out of bed, picked up her phone on the nightstand, and darted straight into the bathroom.

After making sure Jane had actually entered the bathroom, Felix opened his eyes. For a moment Felix grimaced feeling his chest numb because he had to support Jane's head overnight. Yes, Felix was well aware when the girl slowly inched closer to him, then ended up hugging his waist and regained consciousness on his chest. Even Felix didn't forget Jane's breath on his nape.

...***...

As usual, after eating breakfast, with a little clumsy of course, Jane left for the office. Jane had felt heavy when Aiden chattered ‘ah’ when he said goodbye to the tiny baby. Which mother can stand to leave her cute baby? Aiden's recent development makes Jane regret her decision to work. It felt like he wanted to linger at home and watch Aiden's growth. He just found out Aiden can babble today. But maybe that's good news for her, because now Jane can call Felix to hear Aiden chattering if he's tired at the office.

Felix was sitting there watching the morning news with Aiden in the pram. Despite having to sacrifice her time, and her body to accept Papa's scolding if it's too late, Jane takes the time to bathe Aiden. So Felix just needs to keep Aiden in the pram until Jane gets home. Actually Felix really wanted to hold his little baby. Just look, Aiden's clear eyes look sparkling when watching what is on TV like his papa. Plus the moves play both of his tiny hands. How adorable.

Felix lowered his head and said, “Aiden..”.

For a moment those clear eyes blinked. Then his lips opened slightly and rang out, “Ah,” as if he was answering his papa call. A curve etched into Felix's handsome face. One more development Aiden, he can already respond.

Honey, that precious moment must be interrupted when the bell's voice is heard. Instead of rising up, Felix said back to Aiden.

“Aiden, someone's coming. About who, huh? Is that Mama?”

“Ah!”

“Smart child.” Felix smiled again at the sound that came from Aiden's mouth. His hand gently rubbed the baby's forehead before finally moving towards the front door. Just as Felix opened the door, there was already a cry.

“Sister Felix!”

But the young man's speech stopped immediately when his eyes caught the sight of Felix's hand wrapped in bandages.

“What's with your hand, Brother?”

...***...

Jane threw her body on a cream sofa in her study. Meeting for an hour is enough to drain his energy and mind. Yes, mind. How can Jane focus if her mind is always drifting home.

How's Aiden doing? How's Felix doing? Can Felix take care of Aiden alone? Did anything happen to Aiden and Felix?

Those questions never left his mind. It seems Jane has not calmed down if she has not seen it herself alias back home. The next second Jane's raging mind must be interrupted by the presence of a girl in her study. For a moment the girl bowed respectfully, then walked over to him.

“Seena, I don't have any more meetings until afternoon, right?” jane asked as the girl who was none other than her secretary approached.

The girl named Seena checked her phone briefly, then nodded. “Iya, no more meetings for today.”

“Alright then. If Papa comes looking for me, tell him I'm home.”

“Good,” replied Seena while nodding politely.

...***...

The thousand steps that Jane made since exiting the elevator, stopped in front of the door which was none other than the door of her apartment. For a moment the girl took a deep breath to stop her gasping breath. After that Jane pressed the passphrase button impatiently. The door opened and Jane's voice cried out.

“Felix!”

Strange indeed, considering that the girl usually calls Aiden's name every time she comes home from work. Jane took off her black heels hurriedly, then threw her origin. The goal is currently just the family room.

“Feli–”

Call ceased. Jane's worried expression turned into a shocked expression as her eyes found a young man playing with Aiden in the living room.

“Who are you?” it's the only question that can slide off Jane's lips. Both Jane and the young man threw questioning gazes. Until finally the figure of Felix emerged from behind the pantry.

“Oh, Jane, you're home.”

In line with Felix's words, the young man got up and immediately bowed respectfully.

“Greetings, Sister Jane.”

Jane still doesn't understand. Felix approached Jane and said again, “Jane, introduce, this is Steven. He's my coworker at the cafe.”

Finally Jane understood, at first he felt astonished because the young man named Steven looked much younger than Felix. Jane then bowed politely.

“Ah, yes, greetings, Steven.”

The young man bowed once more and smiled. Even Aiden who was in his carriage smiled as well.

“Oh yes, Jane, since you're home, you can keep Aiden for a while right? It looks like in the cafe there is a bit of a problem, so Steven and I have to go there for a while,”, Felix said, hinting Steven to give Aiden to Jane.

“But your hand still hurts..” said Jane in a worried voice.

“It's okay. There's not much I have to do there, and it won't be long either.” Felix answered with a smile.

“Alright then,” Jane finally nodded slowly.

Felix turns to Aiden who is in Jane's arms. “Aiden, Papa go first a minute, yes.”

Again heard ‘ah’ rant in response from Aiden. Felix smiled and gently touched Jane's shoulder before stepping towards the front door.

“See you later, Aiden,” Steven told Aiden, then he said goodbye to Jane and followed Felix out of the apartment.
