🚩 Jacob

The roar of the pull and gust of breath slowly, tickling my neck. The warm morning sun adds to the hot temperature in the air. Makes me fully open my eyes.

Why does my body feel so heavy to move?

I turned around, finding a strand of hair beside my face.

As consciousness entered slowly, I held back the moans. Instantly, the flashback of last night's events shaded in the head.

Winona was already asleep, with her head resting on the back of the sofa. Next to his hand supported his head, another side drooped beside his body.

Backsound tv became a very slow background sound, making me not feel lonely.

I admit, a little desire made me pull that body. And slowly, leaning his head against my shoulder. Slowly, I pulled the phone that was still in his grasp.

I entered my phone number and sent a message. I also sent Sepia contacts. Because today, I'm going to meet that woman!

If Winona wakes up, she must be mad at me.

Which girl isn't angry, waking up in a position like this? With both hands hugging her slender body.

Once again, I became a jerk to Winona. Do I regret it?

Well, not really.

Now, how do you get up without keeping the girl awake? This sofa is not so wide, only fits the size of the body. I can't shift Winona without making this girl fall.

Ah, crap!

How'this?

Is a slow blow to the chest, and an irritated shout going to be the beginning of my morning?

But better yet, Winona doesn't know this! Let me be a sinner, and she be a holy maiden. And if I keep waking up with Winona in my arms, it's possible that my mind will mislead me in a wild imaginary space.

I shifted my body, slowly moving my legs and hands to wiggle on the back of the sofa. I moved Winona's hand slowly. Then it pulled back my body to completely hang on the back of the sofa.

Phew!

Winona sleeps sweet like a kitten. I mean, she looks adorable.

With a quick step, I headed for the bathroom. The shower can always make the mind runny and dirty, being clean again. After this, I'll call my teammates, just ask about their work progress.

Thereafter...

I'll take care of Sepia. My hunch is not good. Ever since Kim said that Sepia hated Winona, I immediately prejudiced her husband.

Hearing the story from Winona, it seemed like the bastard was indeed obsessed with her. Well, why not!

If Winona was still a virgin, which crocodile wouldn't come close?!

I'm on that list. Although I will never ruin the girl's reputation! The echo clearly doesn't care! As long as he gets Winona, that bastard man will make every effort.

Out the shower, I clean my face with a towel. Swiping softly at the frosted bathroom glass, I exhaled a rough breath as I looked at the reflection of my face in the mirror.

If people say, to be narcissistic by admiring myself, I would fit that criterion. At the very least, there were many hearts pounding looking at this face.

I laughed softly. Praising myself makes me feel sorry. Because I've got confirmation here and there.

My steps back swung fast, towards the wardrobe. I took off my basic pants and a dark shirt, and I went to look for my belt. While combing my hair, I opened the message last night that I sent from Winona's phone.

There was another message, from Aleia.

Ah...

Is he going to be here? My eyes were wide, when I saw the successive notification from Aleia.

| I'm ahead, though,

| Bukain door yes.

Damnit damnit!

I immediately stood up, and ran towards the middle room.

Sofa's empty!

My eyes were wide when I saw Winona reaching for the doorknob.

“Wio!” cheers quick.

The girl reflexively turned her face away. Those eyes still looked at me with a slight wink.

My steps back swung wide. “You're awake?”

Winona rolled her eyeballs lazily, “not yet. Still half conscious,” he said slowly. The sound was a little bit racy. “But..”.

“Package!” cut me quick. “I bought breakfast,” just like me.

Winona nodded slowly. “A..”

“You wash your face first,” I pull his hand. Before Winona could say anything, I had to take her quickly away from the door. “Let me take care of it,” I push her body slowly, go inside the room.

“This bathroom where?”

“You used the one in my room only, the one outside there is no soap.”

Winona grunts, “you told me to use soap for that guy?”

Winona flinched, as if surprised by what I said. His hand immediately shut his mouth. Before long, the girl nodded briefly and closed the door quickly.

In times of urgency, my brain can be relied upon to find an alibi!

What did I say to Aleia?

He can't come in! But...

Ah, yes! I opened the shirt, then threw it carelessly onto the sofa. I ruffled my wet hair, making it look messy.

I have to be extra!

I took the tap water with a glass, wetting the head that directly flowed into my face. I ran back, then opened the door slightly, narrowing my face to return the surprised look from that sweet face.

I could feel, the gaze rounded wide, then traced all the way down to the bottom floor. The place where the water for a moment I flush, dripping.

“You've had a shower?” his great-grandson.

I nodded quickly, “again shower. But you chat me..”

“Huh?! You bring hp while... shower?” alia asked in surprise.

I'm choked, “not!” my voice sounded a little higher. “Voice bell, keep me looking at the phone.. just as I pass by, my screen is on. Trus I think there's a message coming in.”

“Ah...” murmured Aleia.

“Sorry, yes. Soa..”

“Iya, yes. No,” a nervous laugh was heard at the end of his sentence. Aleia thrust brown paper bag, “this is breakfast for you.”

“Oh,” wide smile interested on my face. Saying there's breakfast on Wio, makes sense now. “Still yes, hm... How are you? Wait for me? We have breakfast together?”

In my heart, I grimaced! How could my mouth quickly say that stupid question!

“Ya, the plan is so.” Aleia laughed again, “but how? You still..”

Ah, crap! Damnit damnit! Curse me!

Now what am I going to say, to tell Aleia to leave?

If Winona finds out, she might not accept my help! I won't calm down, let Winona live with the shadow of that model Echoes jerk!

“You wait in the lobby,” my forehead frowned, remembering something. “How can you come here?”

Aleia again smiled shyly, “Mama you gave me an access card to this apartment.”

“When?”

Aleia's eyes were round wide, “oh. When you say, you go to Indonesia. So...”

I snorted in annoyance. Not to Aleia. But to my family!

Not only did they match me with Aleia, but they had already agreed to this matchmaking! I'm the one who's such a fool, doesn't know anything about the Atmadja family agreement and my own family!

“Jac?”

The voice made me refocus, staring right at the anxious look of Aleia. “Later to call again yes. You go home first,” I said while pulling the door.

“You angry?” spray Aleia fast. “I'll return the card if you..”.

“Don't be with me,” I said slowly.

“I go back to Mama, then.”

The mama? Did Aleia call my mother Mama?! How familiar they are!

The pretty face immediately turned sad. I saw his hand shake a little.

Ah, the other girl felt a broken heart.

Before I changed my mind, I closed the door. If Aleia were to cry, I knew, I would open the door and try my best to make her calm down again.

Just as I turned around, Winona's pretty face became the first thing I saw.

The girl laughed softly, impressed with the scorn. “Food package? From girls?” Winona placed a hand on her chin, her forehead frowning deeply, as she muttered. “Who yes about?”

“Wio..”

Winona laughed, then her hands waved at me. “Where was your shirt? Oho! Let him not come in? Because I'm here?”

There was no angry tone, just an amused tone that he was trying to endure, so that no scornful laughter came out.

I grumbled slowly. Place the paper bag roughly on the table. “Lo know, I'm annoyed now!” I said restraining growling.

I sat down and opened the food box. It contained sandwiches, salads and. I took out a small flask. Opening the lid, I can smell the latte.

“Oh, coffee!” winona is hysterical. “Make me aja!” that tiny hand snatched the tumblr from my grasp.

I snorted softly, “gue thought, lo ogah eat..”.

“I'm finished!” winona sela. Next to his eyebrows raised, “ngapain sok jaim now? Huh!”

Winona sat down, her focus now on the glass and the coffee flask.

“Lo not jealous what?” pissed me.

I don't know why, I really wish Winona was jealous. He'll frown, and sulk. Instead, the girl smashed her lips. Then quickly, grab a piece of sandwich and devour it.
