Before going to bed, JC took the time to order a bouquet of pink roses for Anna tomorrow morning on a delivery app that he found on the internet. The florist turned out to be located on the main road next to the Northern Light Premiere Hotel where he was staying and was open 24 hours.
Not long after, JC fell asleep in a dreamland that brought him back to meet Annastacia. In his dream, he was chasing and laughing with Anna in a forest under the warm summer sun. His heart seemed so happy to see Anna's smile that was as bright as the blue sky at noon. Until his sweet dream was cut short by the sound of his cellphone's alarm ringing so loudly.
JC groaned in annoyance and sat on the edge of his bed rubbing his eyes which were still heavy from sleepiness. He dragged himself into the bathroom and splashed his body under the cold shower that morning. JC hummed carelessly in his sweet voice, "I want you, Anna ... my beautiful butterfly ... I want to kiss you again and again ... and again."
The memory of the spontaneous kiss in Anna's basement apartment made him crave that kiss and some more touches. Too bad the girl still adheres to the old tradition of not wanting to sleep with just any man, including his handsome self, complained JC in his heart.
After taking a cold shower, JC dried his body and then wore a black t-shirt that tightly wrapped his burly body and casual blue jeans. JC's hotel room doorbell rang. JC rushed to open the door.
"Good morning, Mr. JC, is it true that you ordered this bouquet of pink roses?" asked the flower shop courier he ordered last night.
"Morning too. That's right. Thank you. Here's a tip for you, Boy," answered JC as he handed a $1 to the flower courier because the bouquet was paid for via an online application.
JC looked at the bouquet of pink roses and thought they were very pretty for Anna. A handsome man and a beautiful flower bouquet must succeed in melting a girl's heart, JC thought confidently. He grabbed Anna's car keys from the nightstand and left for Anna's apartment before it was too late and too late.
In her apartment unit, Anna had finished taking a shower and drying her hair. She dressed naturally with loose powder and her favorite strawberry-scented pink lip tint. Anna let her hair down first because all day she would tie her hair while working. Anna stuffed the personal items she wanted to take to the hospital in her navy work backpack.
"Knock knock."
There was a knock on Anna's apartment unit door. Anna thought it might be JC who was supposed to pick her up this morning. She put the backpack on her back and rushed to the door.
"Morning, Beautiful Doctor," said JC hiding his face behind a large bouquet of pink roses, there were 25 blooming roses strung together with white baby breath flowers. Anna received a bouquet of beautiful pink roses with a sweet smile on her face. She thanks JC.
Then JC pursed his lips and furrowed his thick brows at Anna. "I expected something more than a thank you, sweet lady," he said.
"Hahaha ... ouch, what should I give in return for these pretty flowers?" Anna replied while laughing softly looking at JC with a flushed face.
"A kiss maybe ...," said JC, shrugging his shoulders slightly disappointed. While in his heart he said, 'And a hot touch also tempting my mind.'
"Again?" asked Anna, frowning a little scared because she had never been in a relationship before and JC wasn't her boyfriend either.
JC's hands immediately pulled Anna's body so that it pressed against hers and then crushed Anna's lips without any excuse. The strawberry scent and the sweet taste of Anna's lips made him both drunk and hungry.
The sensation of the touch of JC's possessive lips made Anna giddy as if her brain was foggy. Anna's hand gripped JC's shirt on the young man's chest.
They were both gasping for air as they breathed raggedly and their hearts racing in their chests.
"Anna, you're driving me crazy!" said JC as if he couldn't believe what just happened. He had never wanted a woman like this.
"JC...please, we're going too fast. I'm not used to having a relationship with a guy in such an intimate way before. You're confusing me," Anna replied, covering her face with her palms.
"Well, I'm similar to you ... ummm maybe a little different, usually I don't use feelings. Meanwhile, with you, I always feel bad. Let's go now, Anna, I don't want to make you late for work," said JC, putting Anna's hand in his hand.
Anna locked her apartment unit and then walked hand in hand with JC to the elevator to the basement parking of the apartment. They don't talk to each other and look the other way avoiding physical contact.
Before leaving for Wyndham International Hospital, JC invited Anna to have breakfast with him at Chandelier Restaurant. The menu served is delicious as JC said last night.
The smoked beef mozzarella sandwich in Croissant with crispy fries and the Huzzarean salad that Anna ordered were so tempting. JC ordered the same menu as Anna, for him the girl's taste in choosing food was commendable, always delicious.
"Anna, can I take you out to dinner tonight? Erm, I think I'll also play billiards for a while, do you like playing billiards?" asked JC trying to find a chance to see Anna again.
Anna hesitated because she didn't know what her schedule for today would be. The snowy weather makes many traffic accidents which of course keeps her busy and even has to work overtime.
"I'll tell you later Jason, I don't know my schedule for today. I'm sorry ...," answered Anna cupping her palms in front of her chest pleading for JC's understanding.
'Wow... there's a girl who refuses a date from me?! Millions of girls out there are lining up to ask me out! Is she from outside this planet?' JC thought a bit shocked.
Anna glanced at JC's face, which was like a cat choking after swallowing the ball. "Are you all right, Jason?" she asked.
"Listen, Anna, you'd better take your time tonight. Tomorrow I'm leaving North America and flying to California and I honestly don't know when we'll see each other again ...," said JC in confusion.
He hated this situation. When he falls for a girl and can't do anything to stay by her side because of their very different professions. His management would also forbid him from dating a surgeon, it would disturb his popularity. Their love story certainly is blocked by status. How annoying! JC cursed in his heart.
"Jason, I don't think our relationship is going to work out. You're an artist in Hollywood and I'm in a small country in North America. I'm living as a resident of Grenada, a country where even when you open the g****e app you can't read much. We'd better be friends, okay?" said Anna, explaining the gloomy prospects of their relationship smoothly.
Anna's words made JC speechless, is his love just one-sided this time?
After a delicious and filling breakfast, Anna said goodbye to JC to go to work. She drove her own maroon Mini Cooper to Wyndham International Hospital. JC let Anna goes into the lobby of the Northern Light Hotel with a wave. Today is the last day of JC's concert tour. He will be performing at a major mall in Grenada, the event is indoor, fortunately. The winter weather this time was so bad, that it snowed all day long. JC is not sure the concert audience will be as large as usual. Meanwhile, Anna drove her car through the snowy roads carefully. Along the way to the hospital, she saw many cranes operating to move the cars that were stuck due to this severe snow. Anna hopes that today's patients will not overflow due to traffic accidents. Finally, she arrived at the basement parking lot of Wyndham International Hospital, where she worked. Anna came down with a flower bouquet JC gave her and carried her navy backpack. She walked to the elevator to go up to the 3rd floor of her practice
The simple engagement ceremony lasted only a short time because the hospital was very busy. John took Anna to his room for a while, he still wanted to talk privately with his fiancee girl. The two of them took the elevator to the 12th floor, the top floor of the large hospital building. "Are you nervous, Anna?" asked John idly. Anna jumped in place for a moment's thought as the two of them fell silent. "Ehh ... oohh ... not nervous, just still feeling confused. Things are going out of my control," she answered honestly. The two of them went into John's spacious office because it was also the CEO's room of Wyndham International Hospital. John picked up a palm-sized box lined with dark blue velvet. He approached Annastacia saying, "Anna, I want to give you this." "What is it, John?" asked Anna curiously, examining the box in John's hand. John opened the box which turned out to contain a pair of gold chain necklaces with heart pendants. Then John's hands deftly opened the heart locke
Wyndham International Hospital cafeteria that afternoon was full of doctors who practice at the hospital. For Anna, who was often late for lunch, and even missed lunch, it was an unusual sight. John invited Anna to sit at one of the empty tables in the corner of the room. The two of them waited for the menu orders to be delivered to their table. "Hey, you guys ... congratulations on your engagement this morning," said Doctor Isaac Beneton, a neurosurgeon at the hospital. Anna and John stood up to accept their colleague's warm handshake and hug. "Thanks, Doc," said Anna. The doctors who were sitting at the table with Doctor Isaac also gave their congratulations to Anna and John. When their lunch menu came, they ended the pleasantries and returned to their seats. "Anna, are you comfortable with this sudden change in status?" asked John as he ate his food. Anna chewed on her beefsteak as she said, "To be honest ... no, I wish we could still work professionally. My job is still the t
Before starting the operation to open the thoracoabdominal cavity, Doctor Annastacia checked the patient's vital condition, an oxygen mask was attached to Ian's nose. After making sure that the general condition of the body is stable enough, she begins the opening of the thoracoabdominal cavity with a neat layer-by-layer incision because later she will sew it up again. The surgical resident who accompanied Anna in the late afternoon was the young doctor Joshua Kremlin, intelligent and agile. He helped Anna secure the layers that were opened by Anna with Allis forceps while continuing to follow every process executed by Doctor Annastacia, his senior. The tear in the diaphragm that separates the chest and abdominal cavities was discovered by Anna. It was about 3 cm in diameter, Anna immediately closed the hole with a neat stitch of micro thread. She checked with the light in her head for any other abnormal openings in the diaphragm. Turns out it wasn't there anymore, so Anna decided t
At 08.00 PM when Anna was about to leave JC's treatment room, the artist's manager, Max Brury came into the room. "Aahh Doctor Annastacia, how is JC's condition?" He greeted as he shook hands with Anna. "Well Jason's been awake for a while, but still can't eat until tomorrow at 8:00 AM. Please don't feed him Mr. Brury. Make sure he doesn't move much or walk around. I hope the wound won't leave a bad mark. Ointment for the suture scars is on the nightstand, they must be applied 3 times a day," answered Anna professionally. "Max, it seems like Anna likes to torture her patients," said JC, chuckling on the bed still on his stomach. "That's my hobby, Jason! It's getting late, Gentlemen. I'm going home now. See you tomorrow!" Anna said with a laugh and then left the JC treatment room. Anna took the elevator to the 3rd floor of her practice and took her bag and personal belongings. She left her room and locked it from the outside. The 3rd-floor corridor was deserted because practice ho
In the morning, Doctor Annastacia visited her postoperative patients one by one. She had surgery every day and rarely took a day off, so her morning visits were very long. JC was the last patient she had to visit out of a total of 12 old and new patients. The surgical co-assistant apprentice followed closely behind her to record the postoperative condition status. When they arrived at JC's treatment room, they were suddenly excited to see the handsome pop star. Meanwhile, JC just smiled as he faced his fans normally. He still had to lie face down in the patient bed as Anna ordered. It was quite torturous because it was very boring and made part of his body sore and stiff. "Good morning, Jason. You seem to have a lot of fans for aspiring doctors," Anna greeted cheerfully. JC chuckled in response to Anna's words. "Morning, Anna. That's right, that's why I was surprised to know you didn't recognize me. You're too serious about your job, Anna," JC replied. Without wasting time, Doctor
From day to day Anna seems to be avoiding JC even more. Since Jeanette Knightley's visit to JC's treatment room, the girl seemed to have built a thick wall between herself and JC. Doctor Annastacia visited that popstar in the morning in JC's treatment room. However, it only lasted a short time without a conversation outside of the patient's condition history with the doctor. JC's request for Anna to visit him every afternoon was never done either. By the seventh postoperative day, the stitches on JC's back were dry and closed. Now the young man can sit at the head of the patient's bed, he doesn't have to lie on his stomach anymore. That morning, Anna did her morning patient visit because the young doctor's apprentices were changing clerkship. The hospital was very busy so Anna didn't ask the nurse to accompany her to visit the post-surgery treatment rooms. "Good morning, Jason. How are you?" said Doctor Annastacia while holding the data file board on the patient's recovery progress
Max Brury, manager of JC felt the change in the temperament of his artist. Previously, JC was always cheerful and enthusiastic about all his activities. However, lately, he seems to be moody and tends to be introverted. Finally, Max Brury tried to get JC to talk heart to heart to lighten the burden on the young man's heart. "Boy, tell me the truth, what's bothering you?" Max said as he puffed his cigarette smoke. JC also smokes with Max, he recently really likes to smoke alone to relieve the pain in his heart due to the end of his love story with the beautiful surgeon from Grenada. "I like Annastacia, Max. The surgeon who treated me after the accident. Unfortunately, she's engaged, she turned me down," said JC glumly. Hearing JC's story, Max was silent. JC's position as a top idol in all of America is very difficult if you want to have a relationship with an ordinary girl. His career will be at stake, most of JC's fans who are women of course will have an antipathy to Annastacia an
Shane and Rayden's upcoming vacation is planned to be spent visiting the families of Aunt Jocelyn and Uncle Max in Los Angeles, California. They also have cousins there, namely Royce and Adeline who are almost the same age as them.This morning Max Brury picked up his little brother-in-law's little family at the Los Angeles international airport with his little family too. The two children were so excited to be reunited with their cousins. Usually, they are visiting Grenada, but now it's their turn to welcome Shane and Rayden to LA.When they met in front of the passenger arrival gate, the two pairs of young children ran and hugged each other excitedly."Shanes!""Royces!""Adel!""Rays!"They called each other and embraced intimately. Both their parents watched while laughing at the excitement of the small children chatting."Hey, Max, Jocy!" greeted John shaking hands and hugging warmly alternating with Max and Jocelyn."Hey, John, Anna!" replied Max."Let's continue on our way ho
After JC's met with Annastacia and John while they were working on the annulment of their wedding in Santorini, they never kept in touch again. JC and Annastacia both thought their love story was just a memory. In between the time passed so fast that JC and Anna Marie also had a little girl aged 6 years named Michaela Anne Channing, whom they called Michie. A pair of beautiful eyes blue-green her mother's genetic inheritance and her hair was reddish brown. Her drooping face was like her handsome father in the female version. JC's singing and musical talents were passed down to his daughter, they often did duets at live shows. Michaela's childish voice is so clear and melodious, giving a cute touch when singing a duet with her father, who is a pop star with a masculine tenor voice. "Daddy, I'm going to sing a solo at school on Valentine's Day. Can mom and dad come to school?" asked little Michie as she lay on her bed accompanied by her father before going to bed. JC, who had just f
Month after month passed until finally arriving at the ninth month, more than 8 days after Annastacia's pregnancy. Her stomach is already very big because the expected day of the hero's birth is only a matter of days. John has not allowed her to work since 2 weeks ago because the surgeon's work is very physically tiring.Mrs. Elaine Brighton accompanies her youngest daughter who is heavily pregnant at their luxury home in the city of Essentower. She cooked nutritious meals every afternoon and then returned to Dennery after John Baldere, Anna's husband, came home from work."Anna, let's have lunch first! Mom's cooking Fettuccine Alfredo and Fried Salmon with your favorite English sauce," called Mrs. Elaine while setting the dishes on the dining table.Annastacia walked from the living room to the dining table and watched her mother's cooking with her face shining with joy. She hugged her mother and kissed the 55-year-old woman on the cheek."I'm glad Mommy accompanies me here, it seems
The next day the newlyweds woke up late because of overtime all night in bed. The plan was for Anna Marie to take leave at the hospital to go on a honeymoon to Hawaii for a week with JC. Meanwhile, JC will have himself examined by a neurologist to find out the condition of his brain and nerves. There were several times when he lost consciousness every time a memory from his past invaded his brain. JC wanted to know if there was something wrong with his body. Arriving at St. Petersburg International Hospital, they split up to their respective destinations. JC had made an appointment with the doctor before leaving for the hospital, he walked to the elevator to go up to the 3rd floor of the neurology department. "Good afternoon, Nurse. I'm Jason Channing, I already registered for an examination with Doctor Louis Birmingham," said JC at the patient registration table. The registrar nurse checked Jason Channing's name on the register for the day. Then she said "Good afternoon, Sir. You
After JC and Anna Marie's wedding ceremony, they celebrated with family and close friends at a luxury restaurant in LA. A simple banquet with a capacity of 100 guests only. JC specially booked the restaurant for 4 hours to celebrate his marriage to Anna Marie. They toasted with Champagne which the bride and groom poured into a vertically arranged glass tower shaped like a pyramid. JC and Anna Marie's faces lit up happily when they toasted with the guests. They clink glasses and say, "Cheers!" Max Brury and Jocelyn Brighton sat at the table with the bride and groom and Anna Marie's parents. Manager JC and his wife represent JC's parents who have passed away. They were moved because they knew JC's previous love story was so complicated before finding true love. "Are you guys going on a honeymoon trip?" she asked. Anna Marie just laughed softly, while JC answered, "Of course, Jocy. We're going on a honeymoon to Hawaii because we want to enjoy the beach atmosphere." "Wow, that looks c
Two weeks after JC proposed to Anna Marie at the Karapova family's residence, they were both getting married today.In his luxurious home in the elite Hollywood complex, this handsome young man is reflected in front of his bedroom mirror while wearing a black tuxedo to his body which is worth millions of dollars for one advertising contract. JC smiled faintly at his reflection.Suddenly the memory of his wedding day with Annastacia flooded into his brain. His body swayed and fell to the floor of his room. JC is unconsciously drawn into the vortex of his dark past.Meanwhile, the bride had finished her make-up that morning at a well-known bridal salon of JC's choice. The wedding car picked up Anna Marie to be taken to St. Basil's Catholic Church on Wilshire Boulevard, where JC and Anna Marie will have their wedding blessing.Relatives and close friends of the bride and groom sat in the pews at the church. They were waiting for the bride and groom to come. However, an hour has passed an
When morning came, JC had finished getting ready in his room. Since last night it was difficult for him to sleep, even closing his eyes he felt tormented. The love that had existed in his past with Annastacia seemed to suffocate him and made his chest tight. A man shouldn't cry too much, but the wound that was inscribed in his heart was too painful. He needed Anna Marie to heal all his wounds. He wanted to immediately complete the annulment of his marriage to Annastacia this very morning. The couple next door to JC's room was already up and getting ready. They also thought the same as JC, the sooner everything was resolved the better. The three of them met at the restaurant of the Astro Palace Hotel where they were staying overnight for breakfast before leaving for Chappel Saint Nicholas. Brad Lennin, JC's bodyguard watches John Baldere vigilantly. He still remembered the man who shot his boss in the head a few months ago causing him to fall into a coma. At 09.00 am Greek time, th
John never would have thought that this day would come. The man he hated so much for taking his wife away months ago reappeared in Annastacia's office and was cuddling on the couch with his wife.With great emotion, John grabbed JC's shoulder and threw his fist into the handsome face of the famous pop star. Fresh blood trickled through the torn edges of JC's lips.The young man rose to his feet to face John, Anna's legal husband. "I'm not afraid of you!" he cried aloud.It was Annastacia who suddenly panicked when she saw the two burly men fighting in front of her. She shouted out of the room, "Nurse Miranda, call security to come here ASAP!"Immediately Nurse Miranda called the extension number of the hospital's security office and asked the security officer to come to the 3rd floor, the general surgery department.The two burly men rolled on the floor and beat each other fiercely."Stop what you're doing! Please stop now!" shouted Anna keeping her distance from the two of them for f
Currently, JC is on a private jet flying to Grenada. He went alone to a small country where his ex-girlfriend still had the status of his wife religiously and was registered at the Vatican.In JC's heart, he felt anger bubbling up. He remembered how Annastacia Brighton had met him when he woke up from a coma in the hospital. The woman spoke as if they had no special relationship.Now that some of his memories have recovered, he feels like he wants to embrace the beautiful woman who keeps appearing in his memory and flashback dreams into his arms. What was even more surprising was that the man Max had talked about as Annastacia's legal husband, how could he marry her if JC was also registered as her husband at the Vatican?There is something not right with the marriage of the three of them. JC wants to wrap it all up and also check again if his feelings for Annastacia are not there anymore. He was going to marry Anna Marie and had even met her family to propose yesterday. This situatio
