Arabella's Pov "Ah, it's so crowded. Damn it!" Mel cursed when she was already at the back while I went forward to take her place.A sea of people seemed to be invading our cafe. I took a breath near the cashier while looking for the table number to which I was going to deliver the order, then sneaked in between the customers and my colleagues who were also delivering or moving dirty dishes."Hey, you over there, one extra lemonade and fries please!" One of the customers yelled at me. I hurriedly took notes, answered back and handed them to the kitchen.Ty was sweating, staring blankly at the order paper I'd added. "Shit." The male colleague just laughed sadly while arranging the order, while I gave Ty support by patting his back. I quickly accepted the finished order and went back to delivering the food.Today was the busiest day I'd ever had. Mel said that this had become a habit on weekends. There were a lot of people who came to this cafe to find entertainment that was worth it.
Arabella's Pov"Sean?" I exclaimed in surprise when I saw that the man was already beside me. His hand was the one that had grabbed my cell phone before the man with the twig could hold it. I thought he had gone home first because I didn't see him at the cafe, but maybe he was waiting for me outside. Still, I asked. "Why are you still here?"Sean looked like he was smiling somewhat menacingly at the man in drag, grabbing my hand protectively even though he didn't answer my question. "Sorry, I can't let Bella give her number to anyone else.""Anyone else?" The twig man wiped away his smile. His forehead creased with a look that watched Sean intently. "Who the hell are you? I was just asking for the phone number of... Bella?" He turned to me for confirmation, then returned his gaze to Sean, pocketing his hands in his pants pockets. "We've been fine since earlier. Some of the cafe staff are still nearby, so there's no way I'm messing around. People who don't have an interest shouldn't in
Arabella's PovIt had been a few days since Sean's statement on the beach. Now I woke up next to Sean, his arms wrapped around my shoulders so I could press against him. I looked up at his face, which looked handsome despite still being asleep. I smiled as I rubbed his cheek, remembering our hot night.After that day, we decided to regularly sleep together, either in Sean's room or mine. Sean never ran out of ways to satisfy me, bringing me to all sorts of climaxes that I didn't even know I was capable of. "I shouldn't be surprised..." I mumbled under my breath so as not to wake him.I couldn't stop smiling because my adult life was so pleasant. I already had a job, good colleagues, and a lover. Sean always treated me well and didn't hesitate to show me how much he loved me."Where are you going after this?" asked Sean as we spent a rare day off. He straightened the bunny headband I was wearing and wiped the ice cream trail from the edge of my mouth, making me smile, embarrassed but h
Arabella's PovI looked up at the people walking around the café we were visiting, then frowned again when I looked at the cheerful Sean. We were now outside the cafe. I savored the ice cream that Sean had bought me as payment for my fatigue while he ordered a strong black coffee."Smile, Bella. You'd be prettier if you didn't keep pouting like that." Sean tried to persuade me, but I preferred to keep my expression. "Don't you like the ice cream I bought you?"I sighed. "Not because of that.""Then?" He seemed to be waiting for me to speak, propping up his chin while looking at me intently. "What made you look like this on our date?""I just can't stand it when you do that in the morning, too, Sean. Last night... we already did it more than once, but you added more." I expressed my annoyance. My body had been tired since earlier, but it never lasted this long. All I wanted to do was rest in my room, but Sean insisted on taking me on a date like we usually did on weekends."The ice cre
Arabella's PovSean ordered dessert and a drink to ease my tears. I still felt overwhelmed when I realized that many women knew Sean and liked him, even though the man showed no interest in any women who came up to him."What's wrong, Bella? Did you think of something again?" asked Sean when he saw my gaze, which seemed to be directed at him for too long. I couldn't help myself, knowing why women were trying to get close to him.I shook my head, trying to smile even though I didn't want to. "I think you're getting better with your relaxed look, Sean.""Really?" Sean looked pleased, then noticed his clothes from his perception, opening both arms so I could see how the long sleeves of the man's turtleneck lined his well-built and muscular body.I liked how his hair was left unkempt, so it looked messy and sexy. He looked back at me with a crooked smile, raising one eyebrow. "I just found out you like the way I look, Bella. Isn't my plain body much better?""Sean..." I hurriedly retracte
Arabella's Pov"Oh, you're still uncomfortable being touched by me, Sean?" asked Ellie with a chuckle. She touched her lips with one hand while her arm held the other. "Hm... you're looking increasingly handsome after we haven't seen each other for a while."I noticed how the woman spoke, smooth but precise. She also seemed to fulfill every criterion of a woman who spent the night with Sean. Plus, she looked elegant and not cheap with her glamorous way of dressing. I swallowed, confident that Ellie had slept with Sean and liked him too.Contrary to my judgment, Sean ignored her. The man was about to lead me to walk past the woman without speaking, but unfortunately, Ellie held my hand when we passed.I shuddered at her touch, but the woman's gaze was only directed at Sean, who was still staring intently at her. The woman wasn't bothered at all and returned with a smile."How have you been busy, Sean?" The woman asked, walking towards Sean so that she could face him, showing blatant in
Arabella's PovWe sat on one of the park benches not far from the shopping center. Some food bought through the drive-thru service was placed between us for lunch. Sean had already opened one of the eateries before asking me. "You're not eating? You must be starving since we wandered the mall for a while."I shook my head, still thinking about Sean's answer regarding his relationship with Ellie, which might be more than an acquaintance. My gaze shifted to the park, which was crowded with other visitors. The afternoon atmosphere made the air in the park not as scary as earlier in the day, as well as the wind blowing. Even with this peaceful atmosphere, I couldn't believe the man's words easily."Try, open your mouth, Bella," Sean called me, making me turn my head and immediately open my mouth, eating the meatball with a delicious bolognese sauce from his mouthful. He smiled. "How was it? Do you want to eat now?"I chewed slowly but finally nodded. Sean handed me my lunchbox that he had
Arabella's Pov"Come here, Bella." Sean patted his thigh at me while I was still hesitant to move to the back seat. I was so shocked that Sean went in the back door after we hurriedly left the park instead of beside me to quickly drive home.I tried to rationalize my thoughts when I saw him looking seductive with his legs folded and hands now stretched out towards me. His gaze seemed to be asking me to come to him immediately. "Sean... I don't think this is a good idea.""It's okay. We'll be here for a while, I promise." Sean said so earnestly that I finally followed his will.He kept my head from accidentally hitting the ceiling of the car, then switched to holding my thighs together so that I was closer to him. My face flushed when I felt something protruding between us, but Sean smiled when we locked eyes. When I opened my mouth, Sean immediately kissed me."Hmph... Sean, hah...." Sean didn't hold back at all. I moaned softly when he kissed me back more deeply, making me barely bre
