"Lala, Jordan must be waiting for a hot drink. Let me deliver it to Jordan," Susan lifted the cup and prepared to bring it to the front. After a few steps, Susan turned and came back."Why? He's better left alone. Right?" said Clarabelle.Susan looked at Clarabelle. "He's your husband. You take the drink to him. Come on," said Susan. She handed Clarabelle the cup."Susan...""Just give him the drink. Then hurry up, come back here. I have something to tell you." Susan pressed Clarabelle."Huuffhh...." Annoyed appeared in Clarabelle's heart. However, she left also taking the cup to the vestibule.Jordan was standing by the door."Do you wanna go home?" asked Clarabelle.Jordan quickly turned his head. He saw Clarabelle with a cup in hand."Ah, yeah... but it's snowing a bit, so I guess...." Jordan didn't finish his words. "Hot drink? Thank you." Immediately Jordan approached Clarabelle and grabbed the cup that was in Clarabelle's hands.Jordan took a few sips. "Aaahhh ... delicious. Tha
Susan felt strange. It was unusual for James not to turn on his cell phone. Even though sometimes it took a while to respond, the man's cell phone was always active."Is something wrong?" Susan looked at Clarabelle."Don't worry, I think James needs to do something. Maybe he has an important meeting. So what? Do you want to stay here or...""I'll just go by taxi. It's okay. Tomorrow I'll come back," said Susan. She stood, straightened her clothes, then stepped into the hall.Clarabelle was behind her. "How long have you and James been here?""I'll be back in two days at most. I have already missed Lorenz." Susan smiled. She imagined her sweet love with a nice long nose."Are you guys getting serious?" asked Clarabelle."He doesn't want to stay long, he wishes to get married soon. But I..." Susan looked at Clarabelle. "... I won't get married if I haven't found you, Lala.""Ah, Susan...." Clarabelle's heart throbbed. Guilt appears there. If she didn't go, maybe Susan and Lorenz would a
The doctor and nurse in the room smiled at James and Nerry's behavior. They thought the two people were lovers.“Can we go home? I'm afraid it will snow again." Nerry immediately changed the subject. She didn't want to get any more awkward."Well, okay." James stepped closer beside the bed. He prepared to hold Nerry again."I can do it myself, sir. I'll just walk, I can do it." Nerry refused. She just held on to James' arm, then tried to walk. She was limping and looked in pain.James quickly approached, hugging from the right side. Left with no choice, Nerry accepted James' help."Doctor, Nurse, thank you." James looked back, smiling. Then focus again on helping Nerry get to the car.Nerry glanced at the watch he was wearing. Almost half past nine in the evening. And she felt hungry. Her hand reflexively held her rumbling stomach. James glanced at Nerry and smiled. The girl's expression was so cute. Her face scrunched up as she bit her lip."Hm, I think I've made somebody’s daughter
It wasn't just Nerry's face that was red. Her ears and chest felt on fire. Accompanied by the pounding of the heart that hit stronger like a beach wave. Nerry felt her hands tremble slightly."Sir...." A low voice came from Nerry's beautiful lips."I know you will be surprised by my words." James continued. "Maybe you will think I'm playing games, I want to play tricks on you, or you feel like you're just a tool because I want to fulfill my promise."Nerry didn't move. She stared straight at James, not knowing how to react."I'm not just a big boy, nor a man who likes to play with someone’s heart. I'm not going to randomly invite a woman to have a special relationship. I've been married before, then....""Carol...." Somehow the name just slipped on Nerry's lips.James looked at Nerry. Surprisingly enough, Nerry mentioned the name of James' late wife."Sorry, sir. I, I read an article about you. Sorry...." Nerry felt stupid for saying Carol's name."Well, you knew me before we met, rig
The night changed. Morning greeting. After a snowy night, the sun was about to appear.Clarabelle gets ready. The last week before then will be winter break. Clad in a heavy coat, scarf, gloves, and hood, Clarabelle left the house. Jordan's car was waiting at the front gate of the house. The handsome man was standing near the car with a dazzling smile."Good morning, Babe ...," said Jordan.Clarabelle stepped closer."How are you? And our baby?" Jordan looked with his good eyes,"Just fine," Clarabelle answered flatly. Always."Come in, it's getting cold." Jordan opened the door for Clarabelle.Clarabelle got into the car. Jordan closed the door and immediately walked around, entered through the next door, and sat behind the steering wheel. The vehicle slowly drove towards the school where Clarabelle taught.Nobody was talking. Occasionally Clarabelle glanced at Jordan. How long would he be able to stand living in a small town? It was what Clarabelle thought. Jordan left his job, didn
James sharpened his gaze. Nerry's two beautiful and tapering eyes were watery. What was she worried about? Why was the girl so sad?"Nerry, what's wrong? I am serious. I'm not playing with you. I promise....""That's not it. I'm sorry," said Nerry.James covered his mouth. He had better hear what Nerry would tell him. Maybe he was too quick to ask Nerry to be his girlfriend let alone enter into marriage. It felt the same as the story of Jordan and Clarabelle."Knowing you in person, having moments together, for me... is like a dream. It doesn't make sense. You suddenly appeared in front of me. All my days have changed in an instant." Nerry began to express what was raging in her heart.James waited. He knew Nerry wasn't done yet."To be honest, if I'm really with you, I'll be like Cinderella. From a simple life, I will enter a palace. Can I do that, sir? Am I worthy enough to stay by you? To know you are already extraordinary for me."James smiled at Nerry's words. The young woman who
Jordan's car shook. Clarabelle clutched her chest with fear rising so fast. The car nearly collided. Jordan swiftly returned to position and controlled the steering wheel. Fortunately, he was able to dodge so that the collision did not occur."Oh, my god...." Clarabelle still felt her chest beating fast because of the shock.Jordan was back in control of his vehicle. But he was also just as surprised. He took several deep breaths, calming himself down."Sorry, I am sorry," Jordan said without looking at Clarabelle. He focused on driving.Clarabelle didn't answer. In his heart he was grateful, there was no accident. He couldn't imagine if a collision had actually occurred. It wasn't just her and Jordan who were wretched, but the tiny baby in her womb as well.The rest of the way to Jordan's shop, no one spoke. Jordan parked his vehicle and went straight into the garage. Clarabelle went back to holding Jordan's cheek, then to his neck."Hurry up, go inside. You have to take medicine." C
Clarabelle was surprised by Jordan's reaction. She tried to break free, but Jordan would not budge. He was even bolder in action. He kissed Clarabelle. He let go of longing by hugging his wife tightly. Clarabelle initially wanted to rebel. Unfortunately, her heart and longing were not in line. The heart refused, but the longing that Clarabelle felt forced her to accept the intimacy that Jordan threw at her. A strong pounding overtook Clarabelle. A pleasant beat, which raised her desire unstoppable. Clarabelle gave up. She began to enjoy Jordan's touch. "I miss you. So much...." Jordan whispered, softly. Clarabelle was getting excited. There was no refusal, Jordan went further. The game continued. He pulled Clarabelle onto the bed. They continued the journey of longing and love that had been held back for too long because of anger, disappointment, and fear of getting hurt even more. Outside the snow was pouring again. Even the sound of the wind howling could be heard. The longing th
