The Married With The Devil

James's Request

This morning, there was a different scene at Alan's residence. More precisely in the kitchen. After finishing breakfast, Bianca immediately invited Alan to make chocolate cookies together. The woman also asked Sofie to rest and not go to work. Because it's Sunday, so Bianca wants to spend her time with Alan by doing something fun.

In Bianca's eyes, Alan looked increasingly handsome in a brown apron he wore. The man did not even refuse at all when Bianca asked him to take some necessary ingredients in the refrigerator.

“Sayang.” Call Alan while pairing the same apron he used on Bianca. His black iris looked at the woman fixedly.

“Hm.”

“Are you sure you'll be okay?” Alan asked worriedly. He did not want his wife to be exhausted.

“I'm sure.” Bianca replied while giving a glimpse of Alan's lips. Trying to convince the man not to worry too much. Bianca only felt that her mood today was really good. That's why he decided to make a chocolate pastry that he would give Jane and Fiona later.

“Then what should I do?” Alan's puzzled question suddenly made Bianca laugh. I knew this was a first for the man. Inwardly, Bianca returned grateful that almost everything they did was a first for Alan. Himself too. Except for one thing. Well. One thing.

“Combine eggs, sugar and margarine that I've scratched into one.” Bianca said while pointing to three white bowls, each of which contains several ingredients to make a cake that has been rooted first.

“Mixed? Do I have to use my hands?” Alan asked confusedly. The reason, Bianca did not explain in detail. Let alone to make cakes, cook rice he did not know.

“Alan, you have to use mixer.” Bianca cried amusedly while pointing at the mixer that was not far from the two of them.

Alan nodded in understanding. Without asking any further, the man took the mixer that Bianca had first connected to the electric current.

“Honey!” Alan suddenly exclaimed in shock when his hand accidentally pressed the on button on the mixer. The man even lifted up the mixer that was still spinning and successfully made the apron he was wearing a little dirty.

“Let me do it.” Bianca couldn't help but laugh when she heard her man's panic. Especially when looking at the surprised face of the man.

Alan who saw the laughter of his wife, also smiled happily. I am thankful that this woman looks so happy. Usually, every morning greeting, the first thing he saw was the pale face and fatigue of his wife because he continued to feel nauseous and vomit food that entered his stomach. But today, Bianca was enjoying her morning breakfast voraciously.

“Much better if I just look at you.” With great care, Alan wrapped his hands around Bianca's waist. Hugged her from behind while putting her chin on Bianca's left shoulder.

Bianca smile. The woman turned quickly to kiss her husband on the cheek.

“Do you deliberately want to tease me?” Alan's whisper was right in front of Bianca's ear. Intentionally trying to tease her.

“Alan!” Bianca exclaimed in shock as she felt both of Alan's lips clinging to her neck.

Alan doesn't care. The man was still focused on peeling all over his wife's neck. And while his lips were at the nape of Bianca, Alan deliberately bit her slowly.

“Alan!” Bianca quickly turned around. He looked at Alan exasperatedly as the man was deliberately teasing and bothering him.

“I just want to spend time together with you.” Alan Whisper. One brief kiss of the man rested on his wife's seductive lips.

“You can do it later after I'm done.” Bianca.

However, just as Bianca was about to turn around, Alan quickly held both of her hips while holding the woman's body to remain facing her.

“What ka—” Bianca can only round the eyes of disbelief when Alan again pokes his lips. ********** alternately accompanied by an intimidating sound.

Initially, Bianca thought that her invitation to make a cake together could go smoothly without any obstacles at all. But in fact, Alan became his biggest bully. The man didn't even let her move at all.

“Bianca.” Said Alan. Her hand had been raised up to hold the woman's cheek while still holding the lips together.

“We continue after I finish.” Bianca said after unilaterally severing the link of their lips. In front of him, Alan looked at him sadly. But he won't be consumed by the man's deception.

Once he gives Alan a gap, it is certain that the man will continue to lock himself in the room.

***

Jane who had just opened the door of her house, stared in shock at Bianca and Alan who were also looking at her with no less shock. I saw clearly the look on Bianca's disbelieving face.

“Jane!” Bianca cried when she just woke up. The woman immediately hugged Jane while muttering indistinctly. Compared to the upside of Alan who actually looked at him sharply.

“Jane, who is dat—Bianca!” Fiona who caught up with Jane, suddenly shouted happily when she saw the pregnant woman coming. After letting Alan in, Fiona immediately invited the two of them in to meet Jimmy who was in the living room.

“Master! Miss Bianca!” Jimmy said in shock. Because, neither Alan nor Bianca told him at all if they would both come to visit.

Alan and Bianca's attention was immediately drawn to a man sitting not far from Jimmy. That feels so familiar to them. But as Jane stands near the man, Alan and Bianca are both aware that the figure is the man who continued to be by Jane's side during Jimmy and Fiona's wedding.

“Mr. Drax.” Sapa James is friendly. This afternoon, he was back at Jimmy's house because that man asked him to come.

Alan nodded small in return. Without waiting for Jimmy's approval, Alan immediately invites Bianca to sit on the sofa while putting the small paper bag she holds on the table.

“Tuan.”

“I only brought cookies that Bianca made this morning.” Alan replied casually as he looked at Jimmy's face. The man must have thought he and Bianca were back with expensive things. For Alan, his wife's cake was much more meaningful and valuable than anything else.

Jimmy who felt the atmosphere around him felt so quiet, suddenly cleared his throat slowly while glancing at Jane who looked at him anxiously. She knew that she wanted to introduce James as a man close to her to Bianca. But on the other hand, Jane is also afraid to see the reaction of Bianca which she already considers family.

“Include, she's doctor James, Jane's lover.” Jimmy's words just made Bianca look at him in disbelief. Plus Alan who was also looking at him with squeaking eyes.

“Love?” Bianca's question was convincing. He looked at Jimmy and Jane in turn. Then he turned to look at James. Full inquiring.

“Yes. Do you know how you like it, Bianca?” Bianca and Alan are again shocked by Jane's remarks. The last time they met, Jane was still quieter. And right now, the woman was talking very smoothly.

“What? No. gabe. Not at all.” Answer Bianca quickly. He was busy digesting Jimmy and Jane's words.

“Do you really love Jane?” Bianca was well aware that she had no right at all to ask such questions. Only, he still could not hold himself back. He loved and looked at Jane like his own brother.

“Yes. I love her.” James replied without any hesitation. He also stared back at the clingy Bianca.

“You sure?” This time Alan asked. The black iris of the man stared intently at James. It made the man feel a little scared.

“I'm very sure, Mr. Drax.” As much as anyone else asked him, James' answer would remain the same. It will never change. Even if it changes, it can be ascertained if the affection and love for Jane is growing.

“I won't forgive you if you hurt Jane.” James nodded steadily after hearing Bianca's words. Getting an intimidating look from a married couple was successful in making his body sweat cold.

Hurt Jane? If James did, he would be the dumbest man in the world.

***

By late afternoon, Bianca decided to take Alan home because she suddenly felt tired. Also his head is a little dizzy. Even Jimmy also immediately invited Fiona to come out for a while. It deliberately left James and Jane both. Because Jimmy knew there were still so many things they both wanted to say.

“Jane.” James clasped the hand of Jane sitting next to him. Do not forget the kiss dear he landed on the back of the woman's hand.

Jane smiled. Slowly, he turned around to look fixedly at James.

Gently, James stroked the woman's cheek. Then land a brief kiss there.

“Jane, are you sure you won't regret choosing me?” Jane stared in shock at James. Didn't expect at all if the man would ask something like that.

Jane is silent. Not answering at all. Only the look on his face and the radiance of his eyes showed sadness

“I should have asked like that. Aren't you ashamed of having a relationship with a woman not nor—”

“I love you!” Cut James fast. He never liked to hear Jane humbling herself. In her eyes, she always looked beautiful. And Jane's the only woman she ever wanted. No matter how many beautiful women out there approach her.

“What if one day you don't love me anymore? Are you going to just dump me?”

“Jane, I'm not that kind of guy.” There was a sad tone tucked into James' speech just now. Quickly, the man distracted her. Stare silently at the empty sofa in front of him.

“I'm sorry.”

“Jane, will you promise me?” James looked back at Jane. The woman's blue eyes always managed to get her trapped.

“If someday you love another man, please, let me stay by your side. At least, until I make sure that the man you choose will really be able to make you happy.”

After hearing James' words, Jane felt a huge throb of pain in her heart. Another guy? He wouldn't be able to. For Jane, having James by her side still feels like a dream. And he wouldn't be so stupid as to let go of a man as good and sincere as James just because another man doesn't necessarily love him so much.

“Jane.”

“I can't promise. For me, having you is more than enough. I don't want anything else. Even if you turn on another woman, I'll still be well-b—”

Jane suddenly rounded her eyes in disbelief as she felt something soft touch her lips. With both eyes still round in disbelief, he could clearly see James uniting their lips. Just just sticking. Without the slightest movement but successfully made his body fall silent.

“I love you. And that's more than enough to be proof of how valuable you are to me.” Jane involuntarily shed tears. All this time, he thought that no one would accept and love him more than Jimmy. Sometimes, Jane thinks Jimmy's so stupid for wanting to take care of a woman like her. But today, hearing James' sincere words instantly made him realize. No matter what he is. Her past. There will still be people who will accept and love him sincerely. Never seen it with one eye.

“I–I love you too, James.” Jane said, embarrassed. Dare not look at that man.

“Jane, can you look back at me?” Pinta James gently placed one hand on the woman's right cheek.

Jane nodded slowly. Slowly, he looked up again and was immediately faced with the man's intense gaze.

“I–I don't know if this is too sudden for you or not. But for me, this is something I've been wanting to tell you for a long time.”

“James...”.

“Jane, I don't just want to be your lover. Being the man who is by your side at certain times only. Who can only meet you once in a while. Who cannot hold your hand freely. But I want to be the only man to hold you, hold your hand tightly and kiss your forehead all the time. Without pause. No restrictions. And for no reason. I want to be the only man by your side, both happy and hard. I want to be the only man you can lean on. Nictitate. Shed tears. And listen to every heart of your heart. For me, everything you have is precious to me. To make me so selfish for not wanting to share it with another man. Jimmy though.”

James never turned a single glance at Jane. No matter what the woman's response and answer to her was, she was relieved to say it all. He just did not want to hide a single thing from the woman he loved. According to him, Jane has the right to know what her thoughts and heart are like. So that the woman can choose to stay with him or not.

Jane did not answer. The woman hugged James tightly. Drown his face in the warm embrace of the man while enjoying the soothing aroma emanating from his body. Undeniably, his heart inside was jumping around happily after hearing the man's words. To her, hugging James was the only best way she could do to hide the red hue on her face.

With a deep smile, James placed his hands on her shoulders and pulled Jane gently from her arms.

“Until the time comes and you're absolutely sure, will you tell me right away if you're willing to spend the rest of your life with me?”

James made Jane shed tears. Really, he never thought if the man would “apply” indirectly. Even after knowing what he used to be different from other normal people.

“Ya.” Jane replied, nodding quickly. With a big smile that adorns her beautiful face.

James smiled softly.

With hands clasped together, James landed a loving warm kiss on Jane's forehead. He loves that woman. Enormously.

James would do anything to prove how much he loved Jane. How precious and meaningful that woman was to him.

James will wait.

As long as whatever it is.
