THE FORTUNATES

MARK

    That morning Kendrick and Beatrice were still swept away in their sleep, although they were asleep not for a second the man let go of his embrace from Beatrice. She tightly hugged the tiny body of the woman beside her.

    Tock.tok..

    Someone knocked on the door of Kendrick and Beatrice's room, keeping them both awake from their comfortable slumber. Beatrice pulled her body from Kendrick's arms, but the man buried her face back into her chest.

    “Log in! Not locked! “ Shouted Kendrick still while closing his eyes.

   CLICK IT!

    Hearing the door handle being pulled and someone sneaking into the room, he smiled at Kendrick who was still closing his eyes while tightly hugging Beatrice's body. While the woman in Kendrick's arms seemed to be wriggling her body trying to escape from the strong arms of the sturdy man.

    “ Ken, twelve o'clock in the afternoon we have a schedule to K-TV studio for your latest movie promo. After that at three in the afternoon there was a video shot for a Doolshot Noodle ad clip, then continued filling out the show on KBC Radio at seven in the evening Ken. “ Clovis's voice is heard reading out some of Kendrick's work schedule.

    “ Is there Regina? “ Beatrice says after making it out of Kendrick's trap.

    “ Hahaha, come with me if you want to know. “ Tempt Kendrick while opening the thick blanket that had wrapped it.

    “ Ck! “ Decak Beatrice with a whiff while hitting Kendrick's body.

    The woman then grabbed a hairband on the nightstand and rolled her thick hair into a bun on the head. Beatrice then grabbed the glass at the table near Clovis, poured water and sipped slowly.

    Clovis did not cast his eyes off Beatrice who looked beautiful despite waking up. At once he found some dark red kiss marks on the side of Beatrice's neck.

    Bugs!

    Kendrick threw a pillow and right hit Clovis's face which was still staring at Beatrice until entering the bathroom.

    “ Are you not afraid of neck pain? He looked at her until she disappeared in the bathroom. That's my wife Clo! “ Shouted Kendrick while reaching for the glass used Beatrice.

    “ Hmmm, I'm just shocked. “ Clovis.

    “ Why? Beatrice's beautiful? “ Kendrick kicking Clovis's leg slowly.

    “ There's something on Beatrice's neck. Did you do Ken? “ Clovis pointed at his own neck to explain.

    “ What? “ Kendrick was a little taken aback by Clovis's words.

    “ Hickey mark! “ Clovis answered plainly, making Kendrick cough because he choked on water that had just reached the end of his throat.

    “ Already there out! “ Kendrick then expels Clovis without giving him an answer. The handsome man pushed Clovis in front of the door so that he immediately came out leaving him who looked pias holding in shame.

    After Clovis left her, Kendrick went straight to the bathroom following Beatrice who was still there. Without knocking on the door, the man barged into the bathroom.

    “ Kendrick! You're shocking! “ Beatrice flinched as Kendrick pushed the bathroom door, the woman was about to get out of there.

    “ You're done? “ Ask Kendrick disappointed.

    “ Already, why? “ Beatrice looks at Kendrick's face standing right in front of her.

    “ None. “ Kendrick replied weakly as he looked at the side of his wife's white neck. He smiled a little, he saw some deep red marks there, marks he left last night but Beatrice did not notice.

    Upon arrival at the coffee shop, Beatrice is assaulted by all of her first-shift employees about her and Kendrick's news. They are excited because the news Beatrice and Kendrick are trending topic since last night.

    “ Brother! Why didn't Brother tell us? “ Urge Erick when Beatrice is already sitting in the cashier seat.

    “ Hmm? Saying what? Kendrick's? What if I told her what would you do, Rick? Hm? “ Beatrice raised her chin looking at Erick standing in front of the coffee maker.

    “ We at least know who Brother is. “ Cut off Monica while flicking her lips.

    “ Already, nothing will change. Let's continue working! “ Beatrice's orders on her employees.

    “ Hmm, yes Brother. “ Answer Monica and Erick together.

    Nothing changed in the store, Beatrice's attitude, employee treatment, the number of visitors and the hustle and bustle in the store continued to run like – days usually. Although sometimes seen some visitors realize, that the woman sitting in the cashier chair is Beatrice Leandro.

    “ Brother, preaparation is done. “ Call Daniel to Beatrice.

    The beautiful woman immediately sauntered towards the pantry, then Monica replaced her position in the cashier seat. Beatrice washed her hands, then put on the plastic gloves she took from the storage bag.

    Beatrice had seen sifting through a large bowl of wheat flour in a glass bowl on the table. Then mixing it with chocolate flour as well as milk and eggs, he stirred the dough with a large wishk and looked very agile using his cookware.

“ Dan, please get whipping cream. “ Said Beatrice when her hand did not reach the large measuring cup that was there.

    Daniel held out the glass to Beatrice, and for a moment he glanced at Beatrice's neck, which was flat because her hair was tied above her head. He found the red mark on Beatrice's neck, but he just pursed his lips so as not to say something that might make Beatrice blush.

    “ Brother, I prepared the tray huh? “ Arrived – arrived Tessa's voice was heard as she entered the kitchen.

    “ Oh please, thank you Tessa.  “ Reply Beatrice briefly and stay focused on her work.

    As Tessa took the tray and arranged it on an empty table near Beatrice, her eyes were on her face and neck.

    “ Brother? Is Brother good – okay? “ Say Tessa liver – liver.

    “ Of course Test, what is it?” Beatrice did not take her focus off the cake batter.

    “ Husband Sister does not commit violence in the household right Sister? “ Tessa murmured again, seen Daniel gave a code to Tessa not to continue his words but Tessa did not understand the movement – absurd movement Daniel.

    “ Neck Brother bruised. “ Connect Tessa with her innocence.

    “ Hah? “ Beatrice flinched then threw the whisky she was holding and ran to the bathroom.

    Beatrcie checked his neck in front of the mirror, finding some hickey marks left there. He recalled what he did with Kendrick last night, Beatrice's face turned red, he was embarrassed because surely Daniel also realized the red marks were clearly visible there.

    “ Kendricck!!!! “ Pekiknya stuck in the bathroom.

    “ Shhh! Why are you asking Tess? Look Brother Beatrice must be embarrassed, it's not a sign of the test violence! “ Murmured Daniel snickered.

    “ I don't know Kak.” Tessa bowed lethargic feeling bad for Beatrice.
