Between Love and Mission

Chapter 46

The clock shows at eleven o'clock the night when Vane and Rey are already in the car to return home.

"How do you know my birthday?"vane asked, looking towards Rey.

"I accidentally saw her in our marriage book" Rey replied casually.

Vane is stunned to hear Rey's answer, which means Rey is so attentive to the sacred document.

"Thank you for the surprise" said Vane smiling so sweetly.

Rey returned the smile, because she was happy to see the sincere smile of the Polar woman.

"Oh no. I should have said thanks. Thanks to you slowly my career began to improve" Rey replied.

"Don't thank me, it's all thanks to your hard work" Vane said.

"But none of this will work without your help." Rey insists.

"We're only halfway to improving your career. You can thank me after your eighteen-city tour is over, okay?" Vane immediately closed the topic.

"The man you call the sexiest secret agent.What sex is he?"

Vane giggled at Rey's question. He did not expect Rey was still stuck with the comment given a few hours ago.

"Your umm as a man probably won't understand why he's sexy because basically his character is a real secret agent, of course, but he's smart" Vane explained.

Rey gave a look of disbelief and Vane continued, "Okay, you'll probably be more able to see if you've seen the movie."

Vane laughs at Rey's reaction which looks like she would rather hang herself than accept her offer.

"What's your attractive offer for me to watch that movie?"ask Rey.

"Humph.there are female characters that match the type of woman you like" explains Vane.

"You mean?"tanya Rey almost shouted.

Unknowingly they reached home. Both of them got out of the car and walked into the house.

"You know.women are sexy, beautiful, and scantily dressed" Vane said adding a grin to her face.

"I like all kinds of girls. It doesn't have to have the characteristics you mentioned" Rey replied offended.

Vane laughed for a moment before saying, "Oh come on.The whole Indonesia also knows who your ex-boyfriend is and honestly all like coming from the same factory, almost like the Indonesian version of barbie. Tall, white, smooth, sexy, long hair, legs up, with above-average chest size" Vane explained lightly.

"You think I'm a man who looks at women only from the physical? Not all just from the physical there are some who are also smart"tukas Rey does not accept.

"Oh yeah? Which one is smart?"ask Vane scoffing.

"Anindya Kusuma Princess. After all, she is the winner of Putri Indonesia" Rey said triumphantly.

"Aahh Indonesia's representative at Miss Universe. Who can not answer when Borobudir Temple was built. Blind people only know that the temple was built in the 8th century" said Vane glanced Rey gave the gaze of a genius.

"You're saying this out of jealousy, aren't you?"said Rey.

"WHATT??"vane shouted as he stopped his steps up the stairs.

"You're jealous of my ex, that's why you're acting this way." Rey did not stop her steps when she said so.

"That's the most preposterous accusation I've ever heard" Vane said trying to hold back a laugh.

Rey continued walking towards the third floor without waiting for Vane to take away her surprise, "Believe me, I'm not jealous of them."

"You should" Rey strenuously stopped her steps and quickly turned around.

"No...Shouldn't. Humans are created differently. Why should I be jealous of others. I am not the kind of woman who easily envies the physical appearance of other women. I've been thankful enough for what God gave me"tandas Vane.

"Don't tell me that you never asked God for a bigger chest, maybe."

Rey intentionally offended Vane, "No. But I once wanted to have a higher body."

"Looks like God was busy at the time" Rey replied in a cynical voice.

"Actually. God fulfilled my other request, which was more important in my life."

"Which is?"

"Get through college with the best graduate title."

Rey looked at Vane with an astonished look before saying, "You're the strangest person I've ever met."

"Hmmm.." Vane replied with only a dullness.

"Okay, I'm gonna go see that movie and prove that I'm sexier than Taron Egerton. I wait another hour in the TV room" Rey said defiantly.

"OK"return Vane.

They both went to their rooms. And after an hour they meet again in the TV room. Vane shows Rey the King's Man movie DVD while explaining the synopsis. And then they watched that movie. Vane's been dead on the couch thirty minutes since the movie started.

Rey is getting used to Vane's presence by his side. A smart, independent, and assertive woman who always makes her have to think that she is her type woman. Rey is just like men in general she wants to feel needed by women even though it is just a cushion to sleep.

Rey heard a moaning from Vane who had buried her head in her chest, as if Vane was having a nightmare.

"Ssshh.." said Rey as gently as possible while stroking Vane's hair, "Just sleep, I'm here,"he whispered then kissed Vane's head.

Rey tries to close her eyes so as not to remember that she is already jealous when Vane says Taron Egerton is a sexy man. How can he be jealous of a man who is not real and can only be seen on a TV screen.

Rey again heard Vane's voice sigh and once again she glanced at the woman who had made her life ravaged and said softly, "What have you done to me?"

And finally Rey came to sleep as well. They both fall asleep on the sofa where Rey becomes a pillow for Vane and even Rey sleeps while hugging Vane.

*****

Vane doesn't know what woke him up probably because his hands felt numb. When Vane opened his eyes how surprised he was to find Rey sleeping beside him on the long sofa while hugging him. Ah, well Rey is a lot sexier than Taron Egerton, Vane must admit that.

Vane got off the couch and put Rey's hand away slowly. And she had to stop for a while as Rey moved her body and exhaled. Once Rey calms down, Vane can finally leave.

A few minutes later, Rey awakens, feeling the side of the sofa and not finding Vane by her side.

"Where is Vane?"lirih Rey while collecting lives that are still stray in nature there.

After believing all his life is together, Rey goes in search of Vane. And he overheard the sound of water in the pool. Rey immediately ran and saw the figure of Vane swimming in the rain of lightning.

"Crazy woman!"his hiss while glaring.

Although the glass roof of his house uses a lightning rod but the name of the danger will not be known. He could not figure out why the woman did not wait until the rain had subsided. Without thinking Rey took off her slippers, pants and pajamas, then she threw her body into the pool.

Rey swam as fast as she could and pulled Vane by the waist and dragged her to the pool.

"What are you doing?"vane and Rey shouted at the same time.

"I was swimming. There were people hoeing in the pool" said Vane.

"I'm helping you not to be struck by lightning. Which crazy person swam in Vane's thunderstorm. You want to die?"rey shouted on the sidelines of his cough.

"Oh Man! Don't try to arrange me or I'll ask for a divorce. No matter what the media and family say."

"You have no basis for asking for a divorce from me before the date of the agreement expires."

"Of course you can. I'll tell the judge that you've been rude to me. Wherever possible the court would let a wife tormented her husband"sark Vane.

Rey gasped for a few seconds. He didn't play rough at all. Okay he does like to play rough but in other contexts. Especially if the woman who asked him to play rough obviously they would thank him afterwards. And Rey had to gulp her saliva to death when she saw how proportional Vane's body was to use a one piece swimsuit.

"I've never played rough" Rey.

"YES IT'S YOU!"vane shouted about to go up to the pool.

Feeling insulted, Rey suddenly pulls Vane's body and locks him with her left hand. His right hand held up Vane's neck. Rey immediately attacked Vane's lips with a passionate kiss giving a touch to his wife's body.

Vane couldn't resist when he had been carried away on that feeling. Now she wrapped her legs around Rey's waist and even her hands had started touching Rey's chest.

"Ki.kita.kita.had to stop..now" said Vane stammering.

"Just one more" whispered Rey who continues to explore Vane's body.

Although Vane was hesitant at first, but he could not resist. Dear Gods! Rey can no longer resist the urge not to touch Vane for the next six months. He's going crazy! Rey has to ask Vane to sleep with her. She wants to be Vane's husband with real meaning. Unfortunately Vane is a woman who strongly upholds the code of ethics and self-esteem, so Rey has to think how to not only think about intimate relationships but also think about her feelings.

"Vane, I need to ask you something" whispered Rey who was kissing Vane's earlobe.

"What?"

"I want to sleep with you" he whispered and kissed Vane's lips.

Vane pursed his lips to stop Rey kissing him. He opened his eyes and looked at Rey with a cold look.

"Why?"

"Because I want you" Rey explained.

He is indeed a good songwriter, as well as a great actor when acting especially in romantic movies. But right now he did not have good words to express his wish. Unexpectedly Vane wrapped her hands around her neck, and placed her head beside Rey's head. At least Rey can breathe a sigh of relief because Vane didn't slap her over her words.

"Do you always offer your bed to every business partner?"ask Vane.

"All of my business associates are people over fifty years old with the smell of massage oil everywhere" Rey said.

Vane laughed at Rey's reply. And he was happy because Vane laughed when he heard the joke. Even his heart rippled when he heard the sound of laughter.

"You told me I'm not the kind of woman you like so you chose me to be your wife."

"I said so?"

"Yep."

"Well, maybe I should pull my words. There's no denying you're the kind of girl I like."

"But I'm nothing like your ex-boyfriend."

"So from that, I married you instead of them."

Vane considered Rey's words, "If I sleep with you then our professionalism will change, even disappear."

"Do you think we can still be professional after you let me kiss your lips even your chest" Rey said as calmly as possible.

Vane laughed until the vibe felt in Rey's body, "I won't be one more woman you can wear once and throw away once you're bored. My self-worth won't accept that."

"Trust me, you are different from other women. You're my wife."

Vane snorted and removed her body from Rey's body, "I don't believe in your cheap tricks to make me agree to your request." Vane shook his head, "For you maybe intercourse is something commonplace and easy to do, but not for me. I'll just do it with my husband..."

"I'm your husband" Rey growled.

"For just six months. Once the contract is up we will return with each other's lives and part peacefully."

"Van, I want to live with you like a husband and wife without any kind of agreement or contract. We will live together with love and compassion. I promise to be faithful with you. How's it?"abugn.

Vane frowned and stepped up from the pool followed by Rey.

"I need time to consider that" Vane said slowly.

Rey refrained from snorting, "OK, until when?"

"I don't know." Vane and Rey pick up a towel placed on a chair by the pool.

They both walk to the fourth floor to go to the room, and Rey takes Vane to the front of her room.

"Try thinking about my request, but don't take too long." Rey was about to walk away but abandoned her intention, "Quickly get ready we'll go to your parents' house. We haven't been there in a long time."

Vane only silently listened to Rey's words after she passed away going to her own room.
