"Anna," Chelsy called her name when Anna had just come out of the toilet cubicle. "What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Chels," Anna replied as she walked over to her. Then they hugged each other. "I'm here for work."

"Work?" Chelsy parroted.

"It's for the audition."

A surprise appeared on her face. "You're auditioning for Murderer?"

"No." Anna shook her head and chuckled. She? Auditioning? Impossible. She never wanted to be a celebrity. "You remember I work as a celebrity assistant, don't you? Well, the actress I worked with auditioned for a role on Murderer."

Chelsy nodded in understanding. "Who's the artist?"

"Kate Burton."

And the second surprise was shown on her face. "You work for her?" she asked in disbelief.

An awkward laugh escaped Anna's lips. Seeing her reaction, it seemed that Chelsy had heard the rumors about Kate. It must be so because this world was so tiny. "I had no choice. They assigned me as her assistant." She grinned awkwardly. "What about you? You work here?" Sh

    Anna stopped her car at the arrivals section of the airport. She was there to pick up her husband.Yes, David Byrne. He just got back from New York.No. It should have gone because his home also his major company were in New York. He went to Los Angeles to meet her."Hi, sorry I keep you waiting," she said after stopping the car and rolling down the window. Dave had been standing outside after she had made him wait for half an hour. It was her job. She had to deal with an advertising offer for Kate, which lasted longer than she thought.Dave slightly nodded and gave a smile. "It's okay, Ann. I shouldn't have asked you to pick me up when you were busy."Anna opened her mouth, about to spit out her rebuttal when he said again."Can you open the trunk?"She then remembered the 18-inch suitcase beside him. She had intended to open the truck before lowering the window. But she forgot.After Dave put down his luggage and sat next to her, she drove the car out of the airport. It was pretty c

    "Are you sleeping?"Anna changed her position to the left side to look at her interlocutor well. It was eleven, bedtime.Dave glanced at her and replied, "Not yet. Why haven't you slept yet?" he asked back. Half an hour had passed since they decided to sleep and filled it in silence. But apparently, that was just a plan, as they had not yet reached the dream world."I don't know. It's hard to close my eyes," Anna admitted. She had a theory. It was probably related to his existence. She rarely brought a man to sleep in her apartment. Only Matt. And even then to take care of her when she was sick."Because of me?" He guessed right. Or not? But that was just a guess. Anna didn't even know the exact reason."If so, what are you going to do?"Dave mumbled, then replied, "What else? I'll leave your apartment.""In this hour?""Yes. I don't want to be a gadfly to you."Anna smiled, amused at his last sentence. A gadfly? She rarely heard such a word. "How about the other way around? You're n

    Her eyes moved restlessly as the sound entered her ears and disturbed her sleep. Before long, those eyelids opened and revealed gray beads behind them. They hurried to find the source and found it was none other than Dave.Anna forced her body to move to eliminate sleepiness and laziness, which still hung onto her. Then she got up and walked over to him.Dave heard a voice, so he turned his head and said, "I must have woken you up." He worked in the kitchen with the stove, a pan, sausages, and eggs. Yes, he made a simple breakfast for them.Anna mumbled as she shook her head. "No. It's already morning, anyway." She pulled up a chair and intended to sit down. But she remembered something. "You need help?"He immediately gave a quick shake. "No. It's just toast and eggs. I can do these myself."Anna nodded in understanding and then resumed her activities. She threw her body pretty hard. And because laziness still held her, she laid her head on the table."If you're still sleepy, you can

    "So they also want me to promote these on my social media?" Kate asked lazily, staring at the lipstick in her hand. Then a disdainful smile appeared on her face, and without words, she threw it onto the table. "When are you going to get a luxury brand ad for me?" she asked again.Anna clenched her fists, trying to control her emotions. Her weekend was terrible, having to deal with her annoying talent.She took the lipstick and put it back in a suitable position, along with the rest of the makeup. "You'll get it soon. For now, this is what they have to offer you," she said with a smile. That was definitely fake hospitality."You always say that. But where is my precious offer?" Kate glared at Anne, meant to intimidate her.But Anna wouldn't come this far if she was easily intimidated. She was used to getting that look when she offered her talent for a job and had problematic talent like Kate. She was invulnerable but still didn't like getting that. Who wanted to be treated like that?"

    Anna stomped her feet, annoyed at her carelessness. She shouldn't have let Dave hold the keys. While Anna might not come back to see him. What excuse would she give Kate?So she decided to go wherever her feet took her. She walked west, past a row of shops, cafes, and restaurants, and then turned south. It was quieter than the previous road. However, it was still downtown, so it was pretty crowded.Suddenly, her phone rang. That was Dave."Hello," she said a little loudly. It seemed that frustration still held her. That was weird. Why was she so upset about this?"Where are you?" he asked without returning the greeting.So Anna stopped and looked around. "In front of the Blue Sky Gallery." She mentioned the place in front of her. It was a painting school."Where's that?" he asked again.Oh, she forgot Dave wasn't from Los Angeles. She probably didn't know the place in town. Anna herself also found out when one of her talents wanted to join the school. Otherwise, she didn't even know i

    "Who was that?" Dave asked while driving the car out of the downtown area.Anna bit her lip nervously. A sudden nervousness overtook her though it was a fair question. Dave asked about him, which was only natural because he barely knew the people around her. She, too, would react the same way. It was like an automatic reaction.Oh, she felt like she was caught off guard."I'll admit something." Finally, she said something that surprised him, too. How came? A simple question ended in a confession. That was weird, wasn't it?"Bec seems to want to set me up with him," she continued after taking a deep breath. And after saying that, the burden seemed to disappear."You and that guy?" That was his first response.Anna nodded doubtfully. But realizing he couldn't see it, she replied, "I think so. Bec introduced him to me at her wedding." Her sentence sounded the same. Doubt and... afraid? But, what was she afraid of?Silence. Dave was silent, still with his eyes focused on the street and ma

    "You're crazy," Anna said as she sat in the seat.Yes, you read right. Anna dan Dave did their impromptu idea after just stopping by to buy lunch and dinner as stocks. Also, snacks and, most importantly, sweets. This time, she bought brownies.Dave laughed next to her after placing their luggage above, except for the lunch they were about to eat. But what else did they bring besides food?"But you agreed. So who's crazier?" Dave said casually."We're crazy," she concluded. She and Dave were no different. They were crazy to agree to such an impromptu idea."See? We're crazy," he confirmed. Then he opened the package and took out the contents. It was burgers and fries and also colas. "Here. Have your lunch." He gave hers."Don't blame me if you're tired when you get to New York," she said as she took food from him. Dave had to go back to New York on Sunday night. Meaning that he only had a little rest time before his flight. Sure, after they got back to Los Angeles."Don't worry about m

    "What did I say? You must be tired," Anna snapped when she saw him yawn. She also saw the sleepiness in his eyes. It must be the effect of a long journey. "I'm not.""Liar," she sneered. Anyone could see it was a lie.Dave couldn't help but chuckle at her accusation. She was right about being tired. His body was crushed. And his eyes felt heavy even though he had slept on the train.Apparently, he wasn't fit for this kind of trip. It was exhausting his entire body."No next time about this," she said, sounding more like an order. Or rather, a ban. This journey was not for everyone."Why? That was fun," he said. Although he was tired, he could feel the peace written on her face. It helped him clear his mind. It also brought them closer because they were together throughout the journey. "But maybe we need to find a hotel to get proper sleep," he suggested. At least one night to get rid of a little tired of traveling.Anna gave a firm shake. No was no. "No, Dave. You've been traveling a

    Anna peered through the common bathroom door on the first floor before stepping out casually as if nothing had happened. She walked past Dave, who was sitting on the couch in their living room and reading a report on his tablet, with Zach crawling on the floor."Zach, baby, come here." She called for Zach's attention, which was never hard to get. "Let's play outside."And his reaction was predictable. He was running toward his mother excitedly. His smile was so big that it was going to explode.Being a child seemed fun, didn't it?She followed him, running out of the house to their yard barefoot. She couldn't help her own smile from forming on her face at seeing him and another happiness she had just found out about today.She was pregnant with their second child.But be quiet. Anna wanted to make a surprise for her husband.Oh, she couldn't wait to see his reaction!"Zach, come here. Mommy wants to say something to you."Zach halted his running to look at his mother with an indescrib

    Three years later.She watched everything. Their every move, laugh, giggle, scream, and more. She couldn't help but grace a wide smile over that. It was too good to be true. But it was what that was as it was the reality.Baby Zach was now three years old and in his active days. He had run on every corner of the house and was always excited to run outside.Although it tired their body from following him around, she didn't complain, especially Dave. He always had the energy to play with him and never ran out of ideas. He raised their child with all his heart.She shook her head to force herself back to her place. She couldn't only observe them all the time, as she needed to finish the cookie dough.Zach had the exact liking as hers for sweets. So she tried to be the best mom by baking them instead of buying them outside or ordering chefs to make them. It was cheaper and could adjust to her family preferences, which she wanted, not too much sugar.As Dave said, sugar was a killer.She

    "Hi, baby boy. I'm happy you're awake, and I can hold you. Your mother must feel the same way. But she's resting now, so let's not disturb her and play with me instead." His voice was laced with happiness as his eyes flitted the same feeling. There was nothing happier than this moment when he finally held baby Zach. And the fact that he was born healthy was wonderful. It could be perfect if his wife's recovery went well.Baby Zach wriggled his tiny hands and managed to capture Dave's finger. He gripped it though his eyes were still closed. Baby Zach might sense familiar and safe, so baby Zach didn't cry, which made Dave's heart swell with pride and warmth. Only his touch could do that, and he couldn't be more proud of that."What do you think about this world? It's amazing, isn't it? You have me, your mother, and your entire family by your side. And in the future, you will find your own friends."Baby Zach was just quiet, and if his grip was not still on his finger, Dave might have th

    A few months later.Anna was closing drawers after checking what was inside was still inside.It might be confusing. The point was Anna had just finished looking at their baby’s needs, such as clothes, diapers, socks, blanket, and more. She wanted to make sure everything was ready when the time came, which was soon. Her due date should be this week, and she couldn’t be more excited to finally welcome their baby.She moved to the only bed in the room. It was big and had four wooden walls on four sides to protect the baby from falling. And it was the one Dave said could accommodate her body while breastfeeding their baby. She even could sleep on it too.Her hand touched the doll on the nearby side and placed it neatly between another doll and the pillow. She had some, mainly cute animal characters, to accompany him while he was sleeping.Yes, him. Their baby was a boy.“Do you like it, honey? It’s nice, right? Your father prepared them for you.” She spoke as her hand caressed her so big

    "I saw everything, Anna. I know what you hide behind your back." His eyebrows raised as if waiting for her to reveal it by herself. There was no point in hiding it anyway since it was why he approached her. He already saw her enjoying the ice cream!"What do you mean?"So she was going to play with him. Unfortunately, he didn't want to pretend that he did not see that. "The bowl. Ice cream."And she could only force a grin."Come here." His hand reached out to invite her to come near him."No. You will scold me.""That means you know you were doing wrong. How many bowls have you had?""Hmm. Five?""Count it correctly, honey.""Okay. Okay. Nine." She raised both her hands in the air and surrendered herself."No, honey. The bowl in your back is the eleventh."He actually didn't have a problem with her enjoying the ice cream. But Anna liked overeating, and she might have more if he didn't watch her."Good job Dave. She needs to be more careful with her health." Rebecca, standing beside h

    Finally, the day they had been waiting for came. It was hectic but also fun. Their friends and families gathered together to celebrate the happy day. What was more pleasing than that?The vow went well. Although Anna felt more nervous, everything was perfect this time compared to the real one. Her father led her to the altar and handed her to Dave, which generally did at a wedding ceremony. And she and his husband stated their vow again and became husband and wife one more time.And to make it perfect, he sealed their vow with a kiss on her lips. Then cheers and applauses filled the hall.It was indeed a favorable moment. And it lasted until night."It's a pleasure to finally meet the newest Mrs. Byrne." Alexander greeted Anna and took her hand to land a quick kiss, like how a gentleman met a lady for the first time. "My name is Alexander Green.""Oh!" Anna couldn't help but show her surprise. She heard a lot about him from Dave, but this was the first time they met in person."Based

    She felt warm on her skin. Also, a soft and warm breeze brushed over her neck, bringing a shiver to her body. A second later, she sensed warmth moving on her swollen belly, rubbing it so gently as if fearing to wake her up."Hmm." She stirred from her sleep, the result of those doings. Only then did she realize hands wrapped around her, and she knew whose those were. "Dave." Her voice came throatily from sleep."I'm sorry I woke you up." He mumbled against the nook of her neck.She heard it but didn't want to answer him as her voice was stuck in her throat. But she couldn't do it anymore when her eyes fluttered open and dark welcomed her through a glass wall which gave a view of the dark sky. "It's still dark.""Yes.""What time is it?""It's past midnight.""Why aren't you sleeping?"Instead of replying, he tightened his arms and dug his face deeper into her neck. His hand slipped inside her nightdress and caressed her tummy. "I can't sleep.""Why?" She wriggled her body to turn arou

    "The preparation is doing good, right?" Dave asked Eddie, General Manager of The Byrne Hotel in Los Angeles, as they took a look at the hall designated for his event to take place. It was still filled with other decorations, as it would be occupied for someone's event for tonight."Yes. We have everything that we need ready. Gifts also have arrived, and we're working to put them into goodie bags."Dave nodded his head in understanding. "Pack them nicely and make sure those are right for each occasion. Don't get confused." He gave further orders.As planned, they would split the event into two, the vow and the party. And because of that, they would use a separate hall, decorations, gifts for guests, food, and more. They had different preparation for each occasion."Sure. We have a lot of experience with these things. I assure you everything will be in expert hands. You can enjoy your time with your bride.""Okay. I trust you with this.""Yes."Then they walked together for a few minute

    "I'm like a dolphin already!" Her voice echoed throughout the room. She was standing in front of the mirror, checking her appearance from the reflection. She wore an A-line midi dress in black, which fell nicely on her body. But it also made her baby bump visible."Says who?" Dave was walking toward her while buttoning his shirt."Me." She still focused on her own reflection, as if looking for something to satisfy her."Then you're wrong. You don't look like one at all." He slipped his arms around her waist. "Instead, you look sexier." He landed a kiss on her neck and began to stroke her stomach gently. It was almost six months, and the bump was pretty big."Don't lie to me, Dave. Look at me. Everything in my body is swollen now. Even my cheeks are full.""That's what makes you sexy, honey. I like how your body changes."She narrowed her eyes at his reflection. "Liar.""I'm not. I'm being honest with you.""I don't believe you."There was a sound of a sigh before he planted the last k
