Anne, who didn't expect to be hugged by Jack, was silent for a while. She really didn't know what was going on. Until finally she smelled the scent of masculine perfume from Jack's body, she realized and tried to escape from the embrace of the man who had become her first friend in her life.

"Wh-why are you hugging me like that?!" said Anne curtly.

​​

"That's a gift for you, it's very seldom there's someone I can hug, Anne," Jack replied confidently.

"You pervert, whoever gives a gift with a hug?" Anne said fiercely with a rising tone.

Jack laughed at Anne's words. Actually the reason for the gift he had said was just an excuse. He was only too happy when he heard Anne's last words.

"Okay, now tell me why did you ask me to wait here?" Anne asked suddenly.

"Who asked you to wait? Me?" Jack asked back, pretending to be stupid, pointing at his face with his index finger.

"What did you say on the, you said you wanted to ..."

"I will call you back, I didn't ask you to wait for me, Anne," Jack said, quickly cutting off Anne's words.

Thump!

Anne's face flushed red because she had misunderstood. She was silent and cursed herself who was stupid for thinking that Jack would make calculations with her because she had blocked Jack's cell phone number before.

Seeing Anne's silence made him smile. He then took out a chocolate bar and gave it to Anne.

"Eat up, you'll feel better," said Jack quietly.

"It's late, I don't want to be fat!!" replied Anne quickly.

"I care about your weight, Anne, quickly take it and eat the chocolate. This is your favorite chocolate, right?" Jack asked quietly, shaking the chocolate bar in front of Anne's eyes.

"If I'm fat, I'll be ugly, Jack. If I'm ugly, people would tease me, and if a lot of people tease me then I will ..."

Smack!

Anne couldn't finish her words because Jack unexpectedly kissed her lips.

"Jack!!!"

"I don't care if you get fat or ugly. I know you're prettier than them, so don't ever talk like that. As long as I'm alive, I won't let anyone bully you like before," Jack said quickly, while tightening his hug around Anne's waist.

Anne's heart beat rapidly when she heard Jack's words. Suddenly she felt so hot again, even though right now the night air was cold because the wind was blowing quite hard.

"Let me go, Jack, many people see us, Jack," said Anne stammered.

"So be it, we don't bother them anyway." Jack replied quickly, turning his head towards the other shopkeepers, who were closing their shops.

"But I'm uncomfortable like this, Jack. I can't breathe when you hug me like this," Anne said softly with a flushed face.

When he heard that Anne couldn't breathe, he immediately let go of his embrace. He then put his arm around Anne's shoulder so she didn't go away and took her to his super expensive car quickly. Jack knew that Anne was uncomfortable in that place. When he was about to open the door, Anne suddenly stopped her steps right beside the black car.

"Come on in," Jack asked softly.

"Where are you going? I'm going home, Jack," said Anne, confused.

"Yes, I know, that's why I'll take you home," Jack replied briefly.

"But that ..." Anne pointed to her Honda Civic, which was still beautifully parked in front of the shop.

Jack just smiled when he looked at Anne's car. Instead of letting Anne drive her own car, Jack opened his car door and guided Anne into his car. Even though with a little coercion, finally Anne could sit nicely in Jack's super car. Her heartbeat still couldn't be compromised when Jack put on her seat belt. Being that close with Jack really made her freeze. After properly putting on the seat belt on Anne, Jack then stepped on the gas pedal and left the shopping area where Anne's flower shop was located.

Since Anne's shop and apartment were not too far away, it only took Jack five minutes to arrive. When turning off the car, Jack smiled when he saw Anne was in a hurry to remove the seat belt that was attached to her body.

"Need help?" Jack asked quietly.

"No, I can do it myself," answered Anne quickly as she kept trying to open the seat belt.

After a while, when she still couldn't open the seat belt, Jack finally took over. In a short time, her seat belt was quickly released.

"Relax Anne, don't be in a hurry." said Jack softly with a smile.

Without saying thank you, Anne immediately got out of Jack's super car and ran towards her apartment building. She immediately got into the elevator which happened to just got down to the first floor. Jack's smile grew when he saw Anne's mischievous attitude.

"Slowly, Anne, I've been sowing the seeds for a long time in your heart. Maybe now the seeds have started to grow and flourish, you should know my true feelings, Anne. Apparently, the one and a half years time when I stayed by your side wasn't enough to make you aware of my feelings, Anne. It's okay, I'm fine. I'll wait for you to know how I feel," Jack said softly, staring at the lights in Anne's apartment room that was already on.

Shortly thereafter, Jack spurred his Bugatti Veyron on the highway, leaving Anne's apartment to his new residence. Along the way, Jack continued to smile as he remembered what he had done earlier to Anne. Jack was not a holy man who had never kissed before, but this time for some reason, his heart felt very happy after giving a kiss on Anne's lips. It felt very happy to be able to touch Anne's tiny lips which he had only seen so far.

"You will be mine as soon as possible, Anne. You must immediately quench the fire that is burning inside of me," Jack said softly, as he accelerated his favorite super car.

Meanwhile, Anne, who had arrived in her room, seemed to go crazy. She immediately went up to the second floor and rolled on the bed while touching her lips that Jack had kissed.

"Jack is annoying! How dare you kiss me without my permission ... I hate you!!!!" screamed Anne irritably, as she sank her face into the pillow.

Drrtt

Drrtt

Anne's cell phone, which was on the little nightstand beside the bed, vibrated and gave a sound that was quite disturbing as it thumped the surface of the nightstand. Anne lazily grabbed her cell phone and saw who sent the message to her.

"Jack!!!!! How annoying! I hate you!!!!" She screamed loudly again, as she slammed her cellphone on the bed.

Apparently Jack sent a message that said thank you for the kiss. Reading it made Anne even more embarrassed.

Ireland.

Steffi, who was already wearing her sexy lingerie, appeared to be sitting on the bed waiting for Leon, who hadn't enter the room. She had been calling her husband many times, but never got through.

"Where are you, Leon? It's almost two in the morning but you haven't returned," said Steffi many times. She was uneasy because she had not been able to contact Leon since eleven in the evening.

Without her knowing, Leon apparently was spending the night at a bar accompanied by beautiful girls. Remembering Anne made his mood to make love disappear. He really couldn't erase Anne's face from his memory. Anne's smile that he saw from the bus just kept spinning in his mind.

"What are you doing with your face, Anne? Why are you so beautiful?" said Leon unconsciously.

"Sir ... I'm Katie, why do you talk about another woman?" whined a comfort woman, who accompanied Leon to drink, in protest when Leon mentioned Anne's name.

"Yes sir, I'm Taylor here beside you. Are we both less beautiful, sir?" Asked another comfort woman named Taylor, sulking at Leon.

Instead of answering the questions of the two beautiful girls he had hired, Leon suddenly got up from his chair, making the two bar girls surprised.

"Go away! Take the money and leave me," said Leon full of emotion, as he threw several hundred dollar bills on the floor.

Seeing the money scattered on the floor made the two girls get up, leaving Leon, and fighting over the money on the floor. Seeing what the two girls were doing made Leon smile sarcastically.

"You cheap women. You just can't stand to see money lying around," Leon said softly with contempt, because he was already bored at the bar, he then chose to leave.

Because Leon went to the bar with the hotel car that had been provided beforehand, he had no trouble returning to the hotel. On the way back to the hotel, Leon stared at the deserted highway. After marrying Steffi, who had been his lust for the three years, he didn't feel anything anymore. It felt very different when they were still having a secret relationship behind Anne, who was still his legal wife at that time.

"Why does it feel this boring? There's something wrong with my marriage."

To be continued.
