Bound of Lies

I'm Not That Good

Previously on episode one.

For a while Fabian enjoyed his struggle over Renata's lips but then slowly Fabian separated the links of their lips.

Now Fabian's forehead and nose are in contact with Renata's. His eyes looked at each other and Fabian's two hands held Renata's head back from moving away.

Right above Renata's lips,

Fabian whispered softly :

"I'm in love with you, Renata."

Renata was stunned for a while. Staring in both eyes Fabian. Fabian's gaze was so longing and waiting for an answer.

His common sense is trying to digest what happened. His heart warmed with Fabian's confession.

Renata stepped on his foot, grabbing Fabian's lips with his ripe lips. This kiss in the rain is the answer to Fabian's love statement.

Fabian returned the kiss with joy and hugged Renata tightly.

"Thank you" whispered Fabian in Renata's ear.

***

"You must be cold" Fabian said.

"Sorry to get you wet like this." Fabian looks a little sorry for making Renata rain.

If with rain Renata get this sweet thing then he is willing to be under the rain.

Just imagine Renata's first kiss in the rain. It was as romantic as the scenes in the movie that Renata had seen. Things that had been just a fantasy have now become reality

"It's okay" said Renata to appease Fabian.

Now they were in a car that was splitting the streets of the capital. Fortunately, the road began to stretch so it did not take long to reach Renata's apartment.

Fabian linked his cold finger between Renata's fingers. Take the woman to the door of her apartment.

"Come in and get some sleep" Fabian said, tidying up the hair around Renata's forehead.

"Tomorrow I'll pick up lunch."

Fabian lowered his head then kissed Renata in the forehead and turned to anchor his lips above Renata's.

"Good night, nice dream," he said goodbye but seemed reluctant to leave.

"You too," Renata replied with a thumping chest. And eventually they split up

Renata cleaned herself, changed her clothes in sleeping pajamas and immediately coiled under the covers.

His hand kept touching the lips that Fabian had kissed. I don't believe what has happened.

Her chest was filled with the euphoria of the first kiss.

Before long Renata fell asleep in her sleep with a happy feeling.

***

His eyes opened as his phone vibrated and an incoming message notification rang.

Renata knows who sent the message because he often received a similar message every morning in the last few weeks.

Fabian: Good morning, baby. I'll pick up lunch later. Cant hardly wait yo see you love. (Can't wait to see you soon love).

Renata smiled happily reading the short message. There was something different from the message he was receiving at the moment. Fabian called him darling. "It turns out as beautiful as this to be in love," inner Renata.

Renata: Morning is also dear, do not forget breakfast. Cant hardly wait to see you too.

And a message was sent.

Renata got up from her sleep, stretched her stiffened body and walked towards the bathroom to clean herself up.

Renata felt a slight dizzy in his head definitely due to the rain effect last night.

***

The three friends screamed loudly when Renata told him about the bond of love that had been established between him and Fabian.

How not to shout, the three friends were so surprised by this news because Renata had never had a special relationship with any man.

They are happy and pray that Renata will continue to be happy with Fabian.

A romantic lunch with Fabian also failed because the three friends asked for a birthday treat. "Oh my goodness, rich schoolchildren, ask to be treated all," Inner Renata laughed at his three friends.

Even so Renata and Fabian are happy to spend this lunch time with Renata's friends, even Chandra was at lunch with them.

***

This afternoon Renata went home alone to his apartment without Fabian. Fabian had to attend a briefing at his company.

Renata felt his head getting dizzy, his nose now began to feel clogged and his body had a fever. It seems like the flu is starting to infect her.

Renata changed her clothes with a training suit and wrapped the blanket on her body. Renata soon fell asleep.

Renata's phone that was beeping continuously and vibrating woke him up. Renata's hand reached for the phone and answered the call.

Fabian: "Darling how long to pick up the phone?".

"Where are you ?"

Renata: "I'm sorry I overslept." Answering Fabian's question with a raucous voice.

Before long Fabian switched his calls to video call mode.

Renata's reddened face and coiled under the covers filled the screen of his phone.

Fabian: "You sick?"

Renata: "Ah just a cold, I'm fine."

Fabian: "Would you eat ?" "Would you take medicine?"

Renata: "Udah."

Fabian: "Mmm yes already then. Rest, hopefully get well soon."

"Tomorrow morning I'll see how you are."

Renata: "Thank you, don't worry Fabian I'm really okay."

Fabian: "Alright, love you."

Renata: "Love you too."

And they ended the video call.

***

The doorbell rang and Renata was still struggling under the blanket in her room.

The doorbell rings again. "Wait," Renata said as she walked towards the door.

A glance at the clock turned out to have shown at 21:20 "Who came?" Ask Renata in my heart. There's no way Fabian, right ? The man promised to come in the morning.

Renata opened the door and was surprised to see Fabian standing in front of him carrying a pepper bag and a food cup. Fabian has also changed his work clothes.

"I'm sure you haven't eaten yet" Fabian said as he barged into Renata's apartment.

Fabian put his luggage down and took them out one by one at the dining table in Renata's apartment kitchen.

Chicken porridge, honey, milk, eucalyptus oil (eucalyptus oil) and a pair of socks. The stuff Fabian brought

"You sit down" cried Fabian from the kitchen.

Renata just according, it feels like there is no excess energy to reply to Fabian's screams.

Fabian carried the chicken porridge, a cup of warm honey water on the tray. His socks and eucalyptus oil he put in his pants pocket.

"Fabian, you're not busy" asked Renata.

"Hmm, little,"

"But I'm sure you haven't eaten."

"Go back to my apartment for a while and then I'll find a porridge."

"Do you want a bribe?" Fabian thrust out a bowl of warm porridge.

"I can't eat by myself." Renata took over the porridge bowl. I would be ashamed if he was fed. Think Renata.

Fabian kept watching Renata eat. Want to make sure that Renata really ate his porridge.

Feeling satisfied when Renata really spent the porridge.

"Good girl" she said to Renata.

"After this drink of his honey water yes, tomorrow we are doctors."

"I'm just Fabian flu don't overdo it."

Fabian applied eucalyptus oil on the sole of Renata's feet that felt cold and then put on the socks that he brought.

Renata was stunned to see what Fabian was doing. No protest nor resist.

Fabian brought himself closer to Renata, grabbing the woman's head to lean against her chest.

Renata complies, and Fabian's deck is as comfortable as that.

"Sleep, I'll accompany you."

Renata looked up at Fabian.

Fabian chuckled "Let's not gonna do anything." Then kissed Renata with affection. Before long Renata fell asleep entering her dreamland.

***

Renata awakens when a touch as light as a feather runs down her cheek.

"Dear, wake up."

"I go home first yeah, gotta be ready to go to the office."

"I make oatmil porridge and warm honey water for breakfast, I'll pick up in the afternoon. We go to the doctor" said Fabian gently as he rubbed Renata's head.

"Did we sleep on the couch all night?"

"Yes of course, do you expect me to take you to bed ?" Fabian Temptation.

Suddenly Renata's face flushed. Fabian laughs.

For a moment Renata looked into Fabian's eyes and asked about something that had been stuck in his mind.

"Fabian, why are you this good ?"

"Are you like this to all women?"

Fabian took a deep breath, feeling slapped with what Renata asked.

He remained silent for a moment and then brought himself closer to Renata.

"I'm not that good as Renata, believe me."

"But I will try to be the best just for you."

Fabian answered while inserting Renata's hair into the arch of his earlobe and with a deep gaze that is very difficult for Renata to articulate.

TBC....
