My Beloved Cowboy's

Chapter 4. Miss pretentious

Rani refrained from tidying her hair or the clothes she was wearing, the man before her had sharp eyes and seemed to be able to read what she was thinking. His gaze seemed to be able to pierce through the deepest part of him.

“Let me help you carry your suitcase,” King said later, then took the suitcase from Rani's hands.

Without waiting for his answer, the man picked him up and put him in the back of his car. After that King walks around and opens the car door for Rani.

“Come in, I'll take you to Madame Maggie's farm.”

“Oke.”

Rani smiled, impressed by King's polite demeanor. He rushed into the car. He accidentally touched the hand of King who was still holding the car door, and the man immediately pulled his hand quickly.

Rani was stunned for a moment. Just a slight touch, and he never expected to see King's obvious rejection response.

Rani will never forget the way the man looked at her. King looks riled up and doesn't like him touching him. But Rani did it by accident, and from then on she knew she couldn't do it again to King.

“Sorry,” said Rani as her feet with the face of the man in front of her.

The man only glanced at her at a glance, then closed the door of his car after making sure Rani was sitting neatly in her chair.

Rani sighed, this won't be easy. Rani realized that when King was in the car and started to restart the engine. They began the journey in a silent atmosphere, King only focused on the streets in front of him.

Passing a long tiring journey with an open tub car without air conditioning in it, makes Rani rage. Although the car window glass was left open, but the air in the area was very hot.

Repeatedly Rani asks King to stop her car while she goes down to buy a drink or stops by to pee.

“Hot! Just a few hours in this place, it feels like my skin is burning.” Rani complains while holding her reddened cheeks. He got into the car and they continued on their way again.

Not to mention the clothes he wore were wet on his chest and back. Without thinking Rani took off her jacket, leaving a plain white shirt with no sleeves and leaving her smooth white sleeves exposed for granted and Rani made no attempt to cover it up.

Rani muttered softly while wiping the sweat on her neck, “What is the weather in this place always hot like this?”

And King's cold attitude that more silence and just focus on staring at the street in front of him, increasingly makes the heat of the mood especially Rani. He could not imagine working with the man under one roof.

“What do you see?” asked King saw Rani who was staring at him.

“You.”

“Why? You can see the scenery around you, and it's much more interesting!” sahut King with a tone of dislike.

“Because I love to see you, and the view outside is not interesting at all. As long as you know, this is my first time getting a car with a guy like you.” Rani said bluntly.

“Do not like that.” King tightened his hand on the steering wheel of his car. “I don't like you to look at it that way.”

“You look nervous,” guess Rani, the woman seemed to get wind seeing the cold man next to her was affected by her way of staring. “It seems, many things in this world that you don't like.”

Their views meet. Rani has to struggle with all her might to end their eye contact despite her painstaking effort and she finally succeeds.

This time replacing the nervous Rani, Rani turned herself staring in the other direction. He pretended to look around for something around his seat and found a thick piece of calendar paper on top of the car dashboard, and immediately fanned his sweaty neck.

Next to his free hand stretched out and rolled up the origin of his long hair. A mischievous wind was waving its hair strands, partially covering its eyes and hitting its mouth.

Rani licked her lips, and the strand of hair went into her mouth. Rani wiped her lips, and all that did not escape King's sight.

Kuruukk!

Rani frowned, turning to King while holding her stomach. A second later the voice sounded again, either whose stomach was sounding but clearly it was not the sound of his stomach.

“Are you starving? You even ate your own hair!” reprimand King.

“What did you say?” sahut Rani quickly and looked at the annoyed King. “I still have my mother's bread, you can say I ate my own hair!”

Rani takes out a loaf of bread the size of an adult's fist from inside her bag, and shows it to King.

King smiled, “You're so easy to get on blood.”

“You started it first!” rani replied, and immediately ate the bread in her hand in a big bite. “Because of You saying I'm starving, I won't hesitate to spend this bread in front of you.”

King chuckles, feeling funny looking at Rani's behavior. He stared at the woman sitting beside him for a moment, and he shook his head while holding his smile. In addition to the heat, Rani also looks greedy to finish her food.

“In the meantime we will pass through the outskirts of the hilly area, the weather will not be as hot as in the place earlier.” King said without looking at Rani.

“Thank God, it feels like I want to get to grandma's house immediately and instantly refresh myself by soaking in the bathtub.” Sahut Rani imagines herself soaking in a bathtub filled with soapy foam and soothing fragrances.

“I heard your father was born and raised in this area. When he grew up he went to town and married your mother and had a party at Maggie's ranch,”.

“Excellent!” Rani cupped her cheeks together and put on a surprised face. “How do you know that story, were you present at my parents' wedding?”

“I can still remember, I was seven years old. The party is very festive, they invite all the farm owners in this area.”

Rani did not waste the opportunity when King started talking to her a lot, she wanted to know a lot about the man.

“Then I guess your current age must be around thirty-two years. Wow, I can imagine your son must be very cute and handsome.”

“You are a woman who likes to second-guess the life stories of others. I'm telling you something, Miss Sok knows, I don't have a son.” Sahut King firmly. “And I've never been married, unless you're interested and want to try it with me. I might be able to consider it for you.”

The deg! Rani suddenly felt her heart thump. The man beside her only gave her a glance, but Rani was unable to breathe.
