Cristin was back, he looked not excited at all. Orland drove her home, even though the man had told her not to worry but she kept thinking about what would happen to her later with Johan.
Though he did not want to remember the drama played by the man but still, it was hard for him to forget. A feeling of disgust and anger filled the heart again. Next time he will bring rocks or bird droppings that he has dried. He really wanted to throw it.
"Cristin," Orland held onto her hand, he did not like to see Cristin's moody expression.
"What's wrong?" Cristin tried to smile.
"I told you not to worry" Orland said
"I know, Orland. I don't want to think about it either but me?"
"Alright," Orland interrupted her speech and rubbed his arm.
"I don't feel what you're feeling right now but I don't like you like this. Trust me even for a moment, don't you want to?"
"Me?"
"Hey," Orland interrupted again because he knew what Cristin was about to say.
"What if I stay at my house tomorrow? I'll take you to the side of the pool. You want to, don't you?"
"I don't trust you, Orland. My feelings are chaotic right now, I can't forget the problems that are happening even though I want to. So don't misunderstand me. I trust you, I believe you can help."
"So?"
"Well, tomorrow I'll stay but remember, there's no fishing!" threaten Cristin because he was traumatized because of fishing on the side of the lake at that time.
Orland chuckled and peeked at the back of his hand, "Look down, there are no fish in my pond" he said.
"Then tomorrow I'll buy the ingredients before you go to your house."
"What if you come to the office, we'll go buy the materials together."
Cristin nodded in agreement, rather than dizzy thinking about her divorce with Johan who could have been guessed as to where she was going she would rather spend more time with Orland so that she could get to know the man further. However the fear is still there, lest Orland is not much different from Johan and he will not be fooled a second time again.
Orland had also promised to help her so she had to trust the man. Hopefully this time he did not choose wrong, hopefully the man is really sincere.
"If so, go inside. Tomorrow don't forget to come to the office, maybe tomorrow we get something from Gail."
"Alright, thank you for accompanying me today," Cristin approached him and landed a kiss on Orland's cheek, "I-that's my thanks" he said blushing.
"I told you, I'd rather you kiss my lips!" Orland held Cristin's chin and kissed her lips.
Cristin did not refuse, his eyes were closed and his hands were already coiled around Orland's neck. They were in the car at the time so both Cristin's parents wouldn't notice.
Their kisses deepened, something they already wanted so badly suddenly churned in their hearts. Orland's hand was on Cristin's thigh and rubbed it slowly. Damn, I don't want to stop.
Cristin's heart beat, his breathing became heavy. He felt they had to stop it otherwise, he felt they would spiral out of control later.
Orland still kissed her lips, sucked her lower lip and stuck her tongue inside and explored each of Cristin's oral cavities. His hand moved more freely, of course it made Cristin immediately hold his hand. If she let him she felt Orland's hand would go inside her skirt and do even more.
"Why are you holding my hand, Cristin?" orland asked, kissing his face.
"I don't want us to do anything that crosses the line, Orland. Just kiss, no more than that! If we are a match, then we will definitely do it someday." replied Cristin. Although he really wants it, he does not deny but he has to take care of himself. Indeed s**x free is not taboo but he does not want to do it.
Orland smiled and rubbed Cristin's face slowly, he could understand why Cristin refused but he did not feel disappointed at all.
"All right, I'm sorry. I will try to hold myself and my hands" Orland said.
"Sorry," Cristin looked down.
"Why are you sorry, honey? That's your wish and I really appreciate it. There's no need to apologize for this, because I love you sincerely so I don't mind. After all it is just about s**x only so there is no need to apologize because the most important thing is our relationship. Rather than being hated by you I better refrain from it but when the time has come, I won't hold myself back at all!" orland.
Cristin smiled, she was happy that Orland would understand even though he did not do it with Johan but now he knows why Johan did not refuse his request. It turns out she already has a lover. It seems like he should be grateful for this.
"Well, I'm going inside" Cristin took the bag.
"Tomorrow don't forget to come to the office, okay? We're gonna have a nice night together" Orland said.
"Sure, thanks again," Cristin opened the door and got out.
Orland's eyes did not escape him, his eyes continued to follow Cristin until Cristin entered the house.
Orland looked at the watch in the hand, the time had already shown it at nine o'clock in the night. He better find out what Gail found tomorrow at the office, hopefully Gail gets a little clue so they know what they're going to do next.
Orland took his car away, while Cristin was awaited by his parents who were already very curious about how the consultation was carried out by their daughter today.
"How, Cristin?" ask mother.
"You should have guessed it, Mom," Cristin approached her father and mother.
"Does he still not want to divorce you?" ask mother.
"Yes, that is," Cristin replied with a sigh.
"If he insists on not being willing to cheer you up then ask him, what does he really want?!" said father.
"Daddy should have known what he wanted" Cristin replied.
"Ask him how much he wants, I'll give him!" his father said again. He's been patient about this for so long and if Johan does want the money he wants then he'll give it as long as he's willing to let go of his daughter.
"No, Dad!" reject Cristin.
"Why, Cristin? If it is money he wants then give it. That way you can be free from it and not have to bother like this."
"Until any time I won't give him a dollar. I've spent a lot of money on him and I don't want to give him any more money!" reject Cristin.
"What's your million dollar bill you gave him, Cristin?" ask mother. To be honest until now they were very curious as to why his daughter took a million dollars and this is a good opportunity to ask that.
"What did your Mommy say was true, Cristin? Is that really the money you gave Johan?" asked his father because Cristin was silent and did not answer.
Cristin could not answer because of the money he used to pay Orland. What if both parents knew about this? If until they knew if Orland was the man he had paid for, would they still agree to their relationship?
"Cristin, why are you quiet? Is what we're saying true?" ask mother.
"Ti-No, Mom," Cristin got nervous.
"If so where's the money?" both her parents were curious.
"My old friends borrowed it" Cristin lied. He hopes his parents believe the lies he tells.
"Old friend, why hasn't it been replaced? Did he run away?"
"I'm looking for him, Mom. I was tired, I was going to take a shower" Cristin moved up and walked away in a hurry, "Good night Mom, Dad," he said, after which Cristin ran to his room.
Both her parents looked at each other. Why is Cristin hiding something from them? It seemed like they had to find out about it because they were afraid that their daughter would be deceived.
Inside the room, Cristin held his chest. For so long, why did his parents ask him about the money? Damn, he should go back to work to collect the money so that his parents do not know if the money he had used to pay Orland so that the man would sleep with him. If both of her parents knew that she was paying a man to sleep with her to avenge Johan, what would they do? I don't know why he had such a bad feeling.
