Chapter 4

    Rosa had been working in the café for a week now. She had busy herself working for not wanting to remember her ex-husband and her son. She had to throw away her old sim card, making sure her husband can't contact her anymore. She was holding her tears as she was looking at her son's picture in the photo gallery. 

   Her tears race down to the pillow, there a picture of a baby newborn was laying on her son's lap, her son had a gentle smile and loving look. His hand holds the baby's finger carefully afraid that it will hurt the little baby.

"Mommy, will sister love me when she grows up?" Her son asks her when she snaps the picture.

"Of course, she will love you. You are her big brother. You need to make sure you take care of your sister and protect her well. She will love you more." Rosa said.

"Ok. I will protect my sister and mommy too!" Her son smiles brightly at her mother.

"Aaaaa... mmm!" Damia makes a noise and pushes her mother's hand, asking for attention. It took her back from her memory.

"Yes, baby, what you want?" They have been laying side by side on the big bed, her daughter was playing with her new toys on the bed before, now she is tired.

"Ummm..." Her baby head snuggling on her chest.

"Hungry? Do you want milk? You had teeth now! You can't drink anymore. It hurts when you bite!" Rosa squeezes her baby round cheek.

"Aaaaaaah!" The baby angry, shaking her head wanted to loose her mother's squeezing hand.

"Promise me you will not bite first!"

"Mmmmm!" Her baby makes a pleading eye.

"Good. Come here." She pulls her baby to her arms, lays side to her right shoulder, and lets her daughter drink her milk.

   Greedily she pushes her mother's clothes away so the clothes will not disturb her while she drinks her milk, and she bites her nipple wanted a lot of milk.

"Ouch! Baby! You promise!" Rosa smacks her baby bottom annoyingly.

    Her baby doesn't care and drinks it until both of them fall asleep.

    That night, someone had entered the house without switch on the light. A tall and slender shadow man throws his bag on the sofa. He just arrived in this country and he is now suffering from jet lag. He unbuttons his shirt, loses his belt, and throws his shirt and belt on the floor. Then, lazily walk into his room. The room air conditioner was on, he thought he had forgotten to switch off before and he lands on his bed. The comfort of his bed quickly drowns him to sleep.

    The next morning, Rosa wakeup with the sound of her babbling baby. Her baby is not on her side anymore. Afraid that her baby will fall from the bed, she turns her left side, to pull her baby closer to her. However, she saw a top naked man beside her and her baby is on top of the man. Her baby was pulling the man's messy beard, the baby thought it was a new toy her mother buys for her.

    Rosa screams out loud and quickly picks her baby away from the man. Her legs reflexively kick the man out from the bed.

"Ouch! What the heck!" A deep voice comes from the floor. "Argh. What is this water on my beard? It's smelly!" He touches his wet beard and smells it. 

   It must be from the baby drool.

    Her baby was shocked by her mother's reaction and it makes her cry loudly. Rosa quickly jumps out from the bed, holds her baby tightly to protect her baby, and pats her gently. Rosa saw a cloth hanger near her, she picks it up and points it at the man.

"Who are you!? What are doing in my house?"

    The man was still sitting on the floor, rub his bottom, pain from the fall. His face was messy with a thick mustache and beard, his eyes were still blurred with sleepiness.

"What do you mean? This is my house." He said with a sluggish, he wipes the baby droll with his hand while his eyes look around to make sure this is his room. Yep. His room.

"No! This is my house!" Her baby had turned quiet after heard the man's voice. Her toy can talk! How interesting!

    The man look at Rosa and the baby with sleepy eyes, then he stands up lazily and walks out of the room. Rosa follows him with a careful distance and never let go of her hanger. The man smells his hand with a disgusted face, he washes his beard face and his hand on the kitchen sink. Then he opens his fridge and takes out mineral water. He drinks it until the bottle is empty.

He let out a sigh of relief and sit on the counter nearby. "Ma'am, this is my house." His voice was very deep even though he already drank a bottle of water.

"Impossible! I have been living here for a week now!"

"Yep. I have been away for a month, but I had been living here for six years now." He said with a yawn. "You can check on that drawer, there are my names and this address."

"Wait! You are my housemate? You are a man!" Olivia had told her that this house needs one more person to rent.

    The house is very near to the café and the price is very cheap! Olivia also said, her future housemate didn't care that she had a baby. It was very rare to have a housemate that accepts a mother single like her. Then, Olivia gave her a list of rules that she claimed it was from the housemate.

    At first, she thinks it was a fraud but when she visits the house, the house was surprisingly big and comfortable for her and her baby. So, she accepts the rules and moves into the house without clearly investigating her housemate!

   Rosa glare at him and walk towards the drawer. The man takes a sit on the sofa and takes out his wallet to show his identity card. Rosa saw a lot of envelopes with the name 'Louis' written on them. Rosa blinks her eyes, she knows this name. then she walks towards the man to look at his identity card. He also named Louis however, the picture is not matched with the messy beard man.

    Rosa's eyes glare many times to compare the picture and the still naked top man on the sofa.

"Oh. Yeah, my beard." The man touches his beard. "That is really me."

"Wait! You really Louis? Are you the owner of the 'Guilty Pleasure Café'?" She doesn't like the name of the café, but somehow it suits the café well.

Louis lifts his left eyebrows and nod. "Are you the new manager and my new housemate?"

    Rosa put the hanger down and nod. She feels like she had been tricked by her half-sister! Now she feels awkward, her bis boss is her housemate? This is absurd! Feeling a little bit cold, she realized that she only wore a shabby panty and a tight white sleeveless shirt! She didn't wear a bra!

"CLOSE YOUR EYES!" Rosa hides her body with her chubby baby in front of her.

    Louis had already seen her exposed skin from his bedroom before. He also had scanned her white sleeveless and the granny big panty on her. Never had he thought wearing like that can make a woman look sexy. He closes his eyes and leans lazily on the sofa. Pretending he didn't see anything.
