Paper Dove

FEEL CLOSER

The office door slammed open without knocking. I looked up and found a woman in fairly tight clothes dragging a large suitcase towards me.

“ Juaaannn…. Baby.... I miss you”, the woman shouted as soon as she saw me. 

I smiled “ Hi Anna. You have come?”, ask me while standing and walk up to him. I patted her shoulder slowly while tsrsmiling.

He who was ready to stretch his hands straight to his lips. “ I want to cuddle”, he said in a spoiled voice.

“ No. I won't hug you”, I said then sat back in my chair to continue the work I was doing.

“ You never change huh. I heard you're married? With who? That dew?”, he asked as he took off his high heels and took up a sitting position on the sofa.

“ No. I married my lover”, I answered briefly while returning to check the documents on the table. 

“ You are getting handsome after I left you so many years”, Anna said again. 

I looked at him “ You too, changed too much until I didn't know you ANNA”, I pressed his name with a certain intent. 

He laughed as if I was praising him. “ Well how are our dinner plans?”, he asked again. 

“ Is being arranged, my secretary will inform you tonight. When were you meeting with the directors?”, I asked.

“ 10 minutes more. I'm here to relax”, he said.

“ With that outfit?”, my question is a little glance at him. 

“ Hmm.. Do you like the curves of my body?”, asked Anna again without shame. 

“ Get rid of your dirty thoughts as far as Anna can. I will never like you as a woman”, I said firmly and definitely. 

“ Alright. Since we're old friends I'll understand your rude rejection. I go first”, he says stand up then walk out the door.

I shook my head “ This world is crazy”, I said again.

I rushed to the flower shop when I got home from the office to see Jeni. The shop was so busy today, I walked up to him and watched him from the sofa. None of them knew I was coming. 

“ Please stem the rose in pieces do not be too short Mira, later it will be less good”, nagelnya. Then he was busy with the others. 

A few minutes later he saw me sitting on the sofa. “ baby since when did you come?”, he asked. 

“ Just now. Finish your business. I'll wait”, I said gently with a smile.  

“ Alright. You just wait for me in my room”, he said as he pulled my hand towards his room. 

I sat for quite a while in the room, looking out through the glass wall that was confining with the outdoor room. On the table I found a picture of Jeni with her grandfather and also a picture of her with her parents. I smiled at the photo. 

Long enough Jeni returned to her room and sat on the sofa. “ I'm sorry, you waited too long huh? you're bored?”, he asked. 

“ Emm. . Pretty long. I was bored, but after seeing you my boredom went somewhere”, I looked at her face. 

“ Ck, your mouth is sweet once”, Jeni said with a red face in shame. 

“ You guys are busy once today”, I said watching out the door. 

“ Yes, there is booking for a wedding anniversary party event”, he said. “ His wife wants this and that's what makes us have to work extra. That's client”, his story. 

I'm patting. “ What if we eat ice cream after this?”, bargainku. 

“ Alright we eat at home while watching TV”, he continued my offer. 

“ Okay alright”, I said I approve. 

After Jeni left me alone, I laid myself on Jeni's couch. Think about what I talked about with Adam. I'll set my heart, I'll be with this girl. This is not an escape, this is love. Yes I love her. I closed my eyes, took a little break. 

“ Juan..ayo we go home”, Jeni stroked my face slowly.

I woke up and found her looking at me softly. I looked into her amber-colored eyes.

“ Jeni, do you like me?”, I asked about what came to my head. 

Jeni smiled then looked at me in “ Yes I like you. I'm in love with you “, Jeni caresses my hair full of love. “ If people say you are like this and so, I don't care. My eyes are blind, my ears are deaf. Because I just looked at you and heard you Juan. I'm in love with you, you're my first love”, Jeni confesses her love without a doubt in her every word. 

My heart is happy and sad to hear his words. I don't know what makes me sad, maybe because I regret making him fall in love with this jerk.  I fondly fondly stroked her face back, tracing her chin bone with my finger. 

“ Your eyes fascinate me”, I said quietly. 

She smiled and then kissed my cheek slowly. “ Let's go home, it has started malam”, he said excitedly. 

I woke up from my sleep and we joined hands out of the store.

I rolled Jeni's hair on my finger, I got tired of staring at the TV in front of me. Movie after movie scenes went by without attracting my interest. I took him to spend time watching TV but I was bored as well. I want to talk to him. 

“ So next week what are your plans? where should we date?”, I'm looking for a topic. 

Jeni turned her face to me and put popcorn in my mouth. “ I... have run out of dating material. You do sweet things every weekend so I'm confused what I want” to do, she said laughing softly. 

I smile and still play with her hair. “ This weekend how about going to my friend”'s birthday party, take me to her. 

“ Can you?”, he asked.

“ Who said no to?”, I looked at him in wonder.

“ No I just thought we shouldn't show up to the public blatantly”, he said again. 

“ Can now. I'll burn the contract paper”, I said seriously.

“ Are you sure you'll burn it? You have no intention of separating from me?”, he asked looking at me. 

“ No. I want to be with you. Without a contract, just as a husband and wife of SAH”, I put my face to her. 

She smiled and quickly kissed my lips and fed me popcorn. I laughed and hugged him. Tonight I kept staring at her from my bed, I wanted to look after her with my heart. 

“ Juan”, call him. 

“ Yes?”, I answered it. 

“ May I ask about your family?”, Jeni asked carefully. 

“ Yes can “, I smile. “ What do you want to know from me besides the ones on the internet?”.

Jeni asked me a lot about my life, about my family. And I answered everything casually. Until Jeni asked doubtfully.

“ Will your family like me?”, he asked. 

“ Of course. If they don't like me I won't care. You are mine, not my family. Don't worry ”, I said cold. She's speechless. 

“ Here”, I called him. 

He got out of his bed and into my arms. I sipped the fragrance of her hair deeply, the smell of her strawberry-like hair made me calm. 

“ If this continues from tomorrow I will install a new bed “, I said while closing my eyes. 

Jeni laughed and drowned herself in my chest.
