The Married With The Devil

Cinnamon Roll

Jimmy stepped into one of the small bars located in the corner of the city. His eyes stared at the room dominated by the men sharply. Looking for a person who has caught his attention.

“Jimmy!” A fat man greeted Jimmy kindly. His face was flushed from drunkenness.

Jimmy nodded slowly. Then walk towards the bar counter.

“As usual?” The bartender asked as he looked at the familiar Jimmy. Although Jimmy had only come a few times, but he was happy because the blue-eyed man always paid more.

“No. Give me a glass of dry martini.” Jimmy answered briefly. Every now and then, he stared at the dark brown door not far from him. The barmaid place is often in and out at the same time connected with the kitchen.

The bartander nodded in understanding. Soon, he makes Jimmy's order not to keep the man waiting long.

“Please.” Said the bartender while offering a small glass of white drinks to Jimmy. Which the man greeted with pleasure.

Faintly, Jimmy heard the voice of someone he had been looking for. Even the glass that Jimmy had just held, he put it back on the table. Slowly, he turned to look at a long-haired woman and had the color in tune with the cinnamon roll, turning his back on her. Today, her hair is tied with a ponytail model.

“You've been drinking too much.” The woman spoke with a contrite tone of annoyance. One of the customers of the bar was drunk.

“A little more.” The fat man who had greeted Jimmy, spoke indistinctly with his head that had fallen helplessly on the table. His consciousness was almost completely gone.

The woman clucked in annoyance as she ruffled her waist. He has been familiar with some of his regular customers despite only working for a month.

“I won't call your wife again.” The woman spoke in a threatening tone while ruffled waist. Her horse-punched hair moves funny. And just as he turned around, his hazel iris met Jimmy's blue eyes. They stared for a moment and before long, the woman immediately threw away her face and walked quickly to the special door of the employee.

“Fiona, you can go home.” Shouted the bartender when he saw the clock that had shown at one in the morning.

“Thank you, Mr. Scott. “ Excited Fiona from behind the door. Before long, Jimmy immediately pressed his drink down and placed a piece of a ten-dollar bill on the table. Then move out.

“Gracias.” Said Mr. Scott happy. In addition to acting as a bartender, the forty-year-old man was also the owner of the bar.

Fiona, who was walking towards her slum apartment, not far from the bar where she worked, stopped her steps when she sensed someone was following her.

“Can you stop following me?” Fiona said annoyed without turning around. He knows very well who did it.

Jimmy, who was hiding near the wall, immediately stepped out while staring at the woman's back. His lips are still tightly closed. Slowly, he turned around and walked away from Fiona. At least, he had already made sure that the woman was okay.

Bianca stared uninterestedly at a piece of paper given by one of her teachers while at school. He was given several recommended universities directly from school because he had good credit. His gaze was bright, confused whether he immediately went to university or work. He was sure, if Alan would not mind to finance all his needs during college later. Only, Bianca felt bad if she had to nurture the man even longer. At least, by working, he can meet his personal needs.

“What's up?” Alan asked when he had just come out of the bathroom. He looked at Bianca sitting by the window, holding a white paper.

“Alan.” Call Bianca. He looked at Alan fixedly as he sighed deeply.

Alan smiled knot. Then he moved to approach his wife.

“Kurasa, after graduating later, I will directly work.” Bianca. He dared not look at Alan and preferred to bow.

“You think about the cost?” Alan asked coldly. He really doesn't like it if Bianca always touches him about money. Though the woman knew, if she could afford to pay all her tuition fees.

Bianca fell silent while biting her lower lip. Really, he didn't mean to upset Alan.

“For what? I've been more than enough. Your job is to enjoy everything.” Alan said with great emphasis. He didn't want Bianca to worry about money.

Bianca let out a rough sigh as she looked up at Alan. And found the man staring at her with a wounded face. Quickly, Bianca immediately got up from her seat. She hugged Alan tightly while apologizing.

“Bianca, don't you already know everything? Right now, the only thing I want is to make you happy with everything I have. I will still support whatever your decision.” Alan spoke softly while dipping his wife's hair. Both of his hands hugged Bianca tightly.

Bianca smiled as she nodded slowly. He'll think about it again. There are still a few months left before her graduation day arrives.

“I also won't mind if you want to go straight to work.” Said Alan while grinning meaningfully. So that makes Bianca look at him with squeaking eyes.

“Being my exclusive secretary isn't bad either.” Alan exclaimed as he kissed Bianca's lips.

“You sure?” Ask Bianca. Right now, they had been sitting on the edge of the bed. Bianca was on Alan's lap in a sideways position

“I have a private room in my office. So, we can both make love at any time.” Alan said happy while staring at Bianca sticky. Imagining that woman as her secretary has nothing to lose. The two of them can always be together and for sure, whenever he misses and wants Bianca, Alan can have it right away.

Bianca stared at Alan lazily. He knew the man's way of thinking. Unexpectedly, Bianca took a small bite on her shoulder that had been covered in a white shirt.

Alan doesn't take it. Quickly, he did something. And then it ended with laughing together.

Bianca stared at Lily intensely without a sound. Suddenly, he remembered Rico and Stacy. In fact, when he set foot in school again, he did not think or care about them both.

“What?” Ask Lily. He was worried because Bianca kept watching him.

“Lily, do you know where Rico and Stacy are?”

“I don't know,” Lily replied after a few moments of silence.

“The school side only makes an announcement if they are both dishonorably expelled.” Connect again. Bianca nodded at a glance. Sure that Alan has an important role behind everything. Whatever Alan did, Bianca remained grateful that the man did all for her. More importantly, Bianca hopes that if she ever does, she will never see Rico and Stacy again.

Jimmy stepped slowly into Jane's room, carrying a small tray containing a small bowl of mushed potato that had been mixed with minced meat. And a glass of mineral water.

“Jane.” Jimmy called out softly to his brother. Slowly, he sat himself on the woman's green bed while holding the food he was carrying.

“Time to eat.” Jimmy said with a smile. Jane has no voice. But he looked at Jimmy as he opened his small mouth. As if I was used to it.

Patiently, Jimmy fed his brother. The woman chewed softly with a look that never escaped from Jimmy's face. His hand was raised to hold the man's cheek.

All of a sudden, Jane looked at Jimmy intently and spewed out the food in her mouth. Her lips were rummaging indistinctly with her hands firmly gripping Jimmy's cheeks.

Jimmy didn't do anything. He remained silent while looking softly at the only family he had. Slowly, Jimmy clasped Jane's hand as he laid the woman's body. He had mixed a little sleeping pills in the food he made for his brother.

“Goodnight.” Lirih Jimmy as he kissed Jane's forehead.

Slowly, Jimmy stepped out. Both of his lips smiled sadly.
