Best Defense

Sean Danial Warner's!

"Boss, your future husband came and forced his way in!" Denise suddenly opened my door, followed by someone behind her.

This guy, really! He came lightning-fast, just 15 minutes after I replied to one of his hundreds of emails and said I wanted to meet him. I don't know what made him so excited, his face was too happy. Is that the influence of the email I sent him?

"Yes, let him in!" Interestingly enough, he came in casual clothes, long blue jeans, plain white t-shirt, and white sneakers. Her hair was not neatly arranged at all, different from before. I mean, who's that relaxed on Wednesday, doesn't he work? Oh, whatever!

One thing I didn't like, the woody scent that burst out instantly the moment he entered my room, was too stinging, he must have sprayed it many times.

The man approached, he sat down and folded his legs in front of me, his fingers intertwined, spreading his charm everywhere through his sweet smile. Hah, why should I pay attention to her smile?!

"So you accept me now?" Crazy one! He confidently blinked his eyes at me. Ewhs!

"Is that happy you received my email?" No hurry! I need to relax with this guy.

He smiled again, "Of course, I've been looking forward to it for a year! This is the best day of my life!" A classic! Maybe he's honest, but it sounds too much to me.

"Sean, do you know me well?" Am I in a hurry now? Ah, the bodo time! I want to clarify everything at this time.

"It's not as good as the people closest to you, but, yes I know you pretty well" he said.

"What's better?" the answer is not enough, it should be clearer. Go, explain!

I saw him thinking, his face was hesitant to reply, "You're a fool when you love someone."

What the fuck! I just wanted to open my heart to her, but she made fun of me. How could I end up with a guy like him? Not polite!

"What do you mean?" I asked with a huff, his words were outrageous.

Sean laughed, Yes, God! It's not funny at all! I don't know what my face looks like right now, which obviously he must have noticed my dislike and immediately stopped his laughter.

"I'm sorry if you're offended, I don't want to lie to please you. I'm not much different, we're just as dumb at it." Sean said it so casually, as if he had prepared his words long ago. I still held on with my annoyed face, waiting for him to continue his words.

His blue eyes looked around my office, "Your office is quite comfortable, you designed it yourself?" he said divert the conversation.

I nodded, I followed the direction of his gaze while turning the chair, for a moment I was proud of what I had achieved. It wasn't easy for me to get to this point, a lot of things that I went through until my boutique got a pretty good place in the hearts of my customers. I smiled proudly at myself.

"Hey, I don't know your full name yet." I said breaking the silence. Yeah, all I know is Sean's name, Dhea always dodged when I asked her more about her cousin's brother.

"Sean Danial Warner."

"Oh, so Warner's a surname?" manya curious. Worth the name of his company Warner Enterprise, it turns out Warner is his last name.

"Yes!"

Okay, enough bases. Now I have to discuss my purpose in inviting him here.

"Sean, I'm not sure about anything right now. My goal is to invite you here to clarify everything, I don't want you to waste your time waiting for me. I'm not someone you'd expect, there are plenty of other women who deserve you." I said fishing.

"I know what I deserve" she said with a smile.

"I'm a widow." Sean looked ordinary, his face did not change in the slightest.

"I know."

"I love kids."

I looked down, thinking about my next words. There was a bit of concern to say it, I wish he didn't back down even though I said it. Wait, do I like it now? Oh, crazy! What should I do if he doesn't back off?

A year ago I never looked at him like this, even though he always came and bothered me, but not once did I consider him a decent man to approach me. It's not that I'm arrogant, it's just that I haven't thought of anything related to men. My divorce with Nino made me lose faith in men.

"I don't love you." I looked into his eyes, but again his face did not change, still relaxed and smiling, there was no look of sadness or surprise there.

"I love you." she replied quickly. I know that, countless times he's told me, but it's still not easy for me to accept it, however Nino hasn't come out of my heart completely. Am I stupid? Ah, no!

I took a breath, folded my hands together on the table to relieve the nervousness that struck me as he looked at me. Ah, why am I not able to fight with him now, where was my hard attitude that persisted until yesterday?

"Alright, I'll try with you" I said in the end, I think what Mia and Denise said was true. I can't keep fixating on the past, life goes on, no matter how hard it gets, I have to get through it.

Sean moved his body and stood around the table and knelt down beside me. He took something out of his jeans pocket and thrust it at me. Huh, ring?! Is that a ring? Yeah, it's a ring!

"Let's get married!" Did I not hear wrong? Be married? Ooh, God!

I round my eyes, this is too fast! It's not my goal to ask him to come, I'm not ready for this. My mind started to drift, I didn't know what to do now, this was beyond my plan. I just wanted to get to know her more closely, see if I could take it or not. Why did he give me a ring? Sean, you're really crazy!

"I can't! I'm not asking you to marry me, I don't know you anyway. I have a lot to consider. You can't.." He stopped me again! Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit!

Yeah, God! He put the ring on my ring finger, I haven't even finished my words yet. How'this? Why is he so confident I'll accept it? Didn't I say I didn't love her?

"I waited for you for 16 years to marry you, not to date for a year or three years and end up breaking up. I can't promise you a happy and joyful marriage, it's impossible, but I'll always be with you at all times, be by your side, and love you in my own way. Trust me, I won't leave you for a second."

Sean was so sure to say it, there was no doubt there, I could see his sincerity. Whether I realized it or not, I cried, Oh, my God! I cried? Why am I moved to hear his words, do I not love him? Does he really love me that much? Ah, why does she have to be this sweet?

"But, I.." I was cut off when Sean shook his head and touched my lips with his index finger, then cupped my cheeks together.

"No more rejection! From today on I will not let you walk in fear, I will accompany you and we can get through it together. Share with me, don't bear it all by yourself, I'm willing to be a good listener for you. Can you trust me?"

Should I trust him? But I'm not sure about my own feelings, what about Ben? What about Nino? I'm not ready to deal with it, Nino will definitely be very disappointed later. I felt Sean's finger wipe my tears, so soft and warm. I even enjoyed it, it was so soothing.

I opened my eyes when I realized something was stuck in my lips. Wait, did Sean kiss me? Yeah, he kissed me. Goddammit!!! I wanted to refuse, really, but the gentleness she gave was very soothing. I didn't respond for a while, then somehow due to the encouragement from where, I wrapped my hands around her neck, I accepted her treatment. Damnit damnit! You're a fool, Franda!

Sean stopped his action when we both almost died out of breath, then his finger rubbed my lips, he smiled, so sweet! I'm sure my face is like a boiled crab now. I'm ashamed! What a shame! Why can't I hold back and follow the game? You idiot!!! Fuck the shame, I enjoyed it too.

"We're getting married next week!"

"What's? You crazy?! Can't be that fast, I have to tell my family, and Nino."

Yes, I do have to tell Nino, otherwise she will definitely go crazy and mess up, I don't want that to happen. At least he has to understand and accept my decision, anyway he's still Daddy to Ben. Our relationship has to go well for Ben.

Sean looked at me with a smile, like understanding my concern, "Just calm down, we tell him together, I'll accompany you." his voice was so soft, as if hypnotizing me. I nodded, this is better than me meeting Nino alone.

"Replace your perfume, I don't like it!"
