Being a Seductive Woman

Picked

Joshua PoV

"Ah, that's right!"

Frustrated I pressed the car horn.

After I left the house, I immediately met this very long line of cars. It's Monday and it sucks to be in a traffic jam. Especially when in a hurry.

That woman is really a problem-bearer. Ever since he came to our house, he immediately brought trouble to me.

First, Mama wants her to be my fiance that I really don't want because I only want one woman to be my wife, Leony, my lover.

Second, Mama let me choose between her or my precious car and my gadget that I don't want and won't be able to let happen because I'm about to lose touch with Leony.

Then after I kicked her out of our house, Mama wanted me to pick her up and bring her back to our house. It made me hate him even more.

'Who knows he might as well be the reason Leony broke up with me.'

But I think Leony would understand.

I'll ask Leony to give me a few months until the old man of the cunning woman returns. Only then will I completely break off my relationship or whatever it is with that woman.

If someone asks me why I still want to pick him up if I hate him. The answer was simply because it was the only way not to lose my communication with Leony.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, the car finally started moving. I drove faster to the woman's house after avoiding the traffic jam.

Drr... Drrt ...

The sound of my phone vibrating. There was a message coming in and it was from Mama.

(Joshua be sure to pick her up today. If not, you know for yourself what the consequences are.)

"Ah is that right? Is Mama threatening me? I really hate that woman."

"Who do you hate?"

The feminine voice beside me suddenly sounded. Surprised, I accidentally dropped my phone.

"You're crazy!" I said and picked up my phone.

I looked at the woman beside me and realized that I had pressed the doorbell of her house.

'This is it, the woman my mother wanted me to marry.'

"You're crazy for talking to yourself." Her speech.

"What did you say?" My toot.

I didn't understand what he said after he said that I was crazy.

"There's nothing. What are you doing here?" Ask the woman.

"I'm here to pick you up and bring you home. My mom told me to do it." My speech.

"Why should I trust you?" He said it as if he didn't believe me.

I waved my phone and I showed her a short message Mama sent me saying, 'Pick her up today Joshua. Drive with care!'

"My name is not in it. It just says he. How can I be sure that the word she said refers to me." Her speech.

'Is he serious?'

I can't believe that I can stand this woman. I even talked to him that long. I don't usually have patience with women like this.

My phone rang and Mama's number appeared on my phone screen. I then pressed the answer button.

'The right time, Mama.'

"Joshua, did you pick her up?" Ask Mama.

"Ma, she can't believe Mama told me to pick her up. Mama talk to him." I said and gave him a cell phone.

He looked at me with a questionable look.

"Speak to my Mama." I said frankly.

'This woman is really slow-minded. That's stupid, man,

After finishing our coffee, the doorbell rang.

"Let me open it for you." Leo offered me.

"It's okay. Let me just." I said and smiled at him.

"Well, I'll wash this cup when you open the door." Said Leo.

When I opened the door, I was shocked to see Joshua in front of the house.

"Ah is that right? Is Mama threatening me? I really hate that woman." Shouted Joshua.

'How dare he scream in front of our house.'

"Who do you hate?" I asked him where it was that he surprised him because he dropped his phone.

"You're crazy!" He screamed again.

'She's really annoying and what is she doing here?'

I argued with him until his phone rang.

"Ma, she can't believe that Mama told me to pick her up. Talk to him." Speak in a low voice.

He gave me his phone and I gave him a questioning look.

"Talk to my mom." Said me.

"Hello Mrs Fa..."

'Mama?'

"Curl..."

"Come with Joshua to the house. This is a good opportunity for you two to get to know each other. Allow me to apologize to you for what Joshua did the first day you met him. He was probably surprised at the time." The woman said at length.

"It's okay, madam. Uh, I mean Mama. I get it." I doubt.

'Should I call her Mama?'

I saw Joshua looking at me and he looked annoyed because I called his mama 'Mama' too.

"Jessica please come back to our house. I promise Joshua will take care of you." Say Mama Joshua again.

'Will I go back there again if I know his son hates me?'

Mama Joshua finally convinced me and I decided to go with him. After closing the call, I returned the phone to Joshua.

"Is there a problem here?"

I heard Leo's voice behind me.

"There's nothing." My speech.

"Ah you're back." Leo smiled at Joshua.

Joshua just nodded.

'Shit! He really has an unpleasant personality.'

"Do you know him?" I asked Leo.

"He's the one I told you about yesterday." Said Leo.

I looked towards Joshua and his eyebrows curved upwards.

"Baahhh..." I said while glorifying my head.

'But how do I explain it to Leo.?'

"Joshua, we're going inside to get my clothes." I said to Joshua.

"aaa... Whatdoes thatmean? What clothes?" Ask Leo.

"Let's go in." I said, pushing him into the house.

When we got home...

"Leo, actually Joshua is my fiancee." I told Leo honestly.

"What's? When's? Wh why? How did you guys meet? It's so sudden." Said Leo.

I could see the confusion in his eyes. At the same time he was also surprised. I understand him.

He was surprised by what I said.

"No. no... That's story. You know that my parents do business with them and they want me to marry Joshua for company." I said to Leo.

"Is that why you packed your clothes? But why do you have to stay with him?" Ask Leo.

"I have to do it. Mama's worried I'm not safe here alone." My speech

"I can accompany you if you want." Said Leo.

"No Leo. I don't want to be a burden to you." My speech.

"You've never been a burden to me." He said in a soft voice and bowed head.

"Leo, we're still good friends okay. I just have to go there and I promise that after my parents come back, I will break my relationship with him. I don't want to marry him." I said frankly.

"Until when?" Ask Leo again.

"I don't know until when. But it'll happen in just a few months." I said and patted him on the shoulder. "I'll go to my room and pack my things." Continue me.

After Jessica climbed into her room, Leo was still shocked.

'Why did Jessica agree to stay with him? It's a danger because she's a woman Leo said in his heart.

Leo knows very well how Jessica is capable. He can protect himself. But Leo thought that Jessica might just give up and be tricked by an even unknown man.

Leo was worried, but he decided to shut up.

Jessica came down the stairs with two suitcases. Leo immediately picked up the suitcase and let Jessica out first.

When they get to Joshua's car, Leo gives the suitcase to Jessica.

"Jess, be careful there. I'll always check your house here to make sure it's safe." Said Leo.

"I will take care of myself and you will take care of yourself." Jessica smiled.

Unbeknownst to them that Joshua seemed to roll his eyes. In his mind, he saw that Jessica and Lei were as if they were going to be apart for a long time.

Joshua begins to think that Jessica wants to marry him for money. The fact that she thinks that Jessica has a boyfriend who is a cop. Joshua had no idea that the two had only been friends since they were kids.

After Jessica and Leo spoke, Jessica got into the car. Joshua stepped on the accelerator and they left Leo standing at the entrance of the house. Jessica waved at Leo.

"You knew you were going to pick me up, but you brought a race car instead. Did you know that I had to bring my stuff?" Jessica said to Joshua in annoyance.

Joshua remained calm and drove until they reached his home. He got out of the car as soon as he stopped the car inside the garage. Jessica rolled her eyes and took her suitcase. Bi Lia immediately met Jessica and brought her suitcase.

"Welcome back Young Miss." Bi Lia said with a smile to Jessica.
