THE WAY YOU LOVE ME

42

Crick... Clamps... (The door is open).

I stood up and headed for the door. Jimmy is coming.

I feel good to see him coming.

"Waiting me?" Ask Jimmy.

"No.... " I turned around and sat down on the sofa again.

I changed the existing channel. Every now and then I observe, what Jimmy is doing, I don't want Jimmy to know I'm watching him.

He went to the bathroom, and he came out soon. I'm still watching Jimmy, but I don't want him to grow a big head.

I pretend to watch tv. But jimmy seemed to know there was a pair of eyes watching him.

He sat down next to me, and he grabbed my shoulder.

"It's been.. I'm here, don't look at me from far away. I can make you tired like last night... " Jimmy teased me.

"What hell! Basic mes*m!" I don't admit that I've been waiting for him.

"Don't sell expensive... I know, you must miss me... " Jimmy looked at me with a naughty look.

"Jimmys... Never mind, why did you come home sooner? Don't you want to join Casting?! there's a beautiful and sexy artist..." My tone has turned bad.

"You jealous? why not be honest? if you don't want me there, I won't go...." Jimmy answered.

"No... What if I am jealous? it's normal..." I asked Jimmy.

"Hm... You can't be jealous.. Because we... "

"We have a relationship that needs each other. Not a love relationship, you always say it. So just go, I'm not holding back...

You ask me if I am jealous? No. So I do what you say.Just go there, I'm fine..." I answered .

".......... " Jimmy was silent, but his hands were clenched.

I can feel it from behind my shoulder.

"I should, you can be the same as me. What's that with Yofie, or another guy... Adit.... " I'm insisting.

Jimmy was upset, he pulled me closer to him. He seemed to be holding back emotions, I could feel from his breath.

"Cathrine.... You're just mine, the more you don't admit you're jealous. The more I'm sure you're jealous of me, the more honest you are with your own heart...." Jimmy said, then he kissed my lips.

I was like a bewitch, I was silent and blushed in shame as she let go of my lips.

it's true that he said, there was anger and not wanting Jimmy to see Jessy, but I was too embarrassed to admit it.

"sorry..... " Jimmy said, then he stroked my hair, the touch was smooth and made me feel hooked.

"sorry ....Make? " I said while looking the other way.

"I don't want to share with anyone else. I'll do the same..... I'm not leaving. I'm here with you .. "then Jimmy hugged me.

I smiled at her, it felt good in my heart. I don't think he's going to meet Jessy and just choose to be with me.

"What if we go to the cell phone store and buy some nightgowns for you?" Jimmy stood up and pulled my hand.

"Sleeping shirt? I've got a lot of loose-fitting t-shirts..." I looked at Jimmy.

"Yes, but I want you to wear a satin shirt. No need to be thin or bright, which I definitely feel you will be more beautiful with a model nightgown like that... "

"Okay Jimmy, I'll change my clothes first... Wait yeah .. "I left Jimmy.

I rushed to find pants and peach-colored tanktop model clothes. I covered my rather stuffed arm with a black cardigan.

Jimmy patted and gave me a thumb sign when I was ready. He was happy with the clothes I was wearing.

Obviously, he's the one who bought it.

We also walked out of the apartment. Now I'm getting used to walking next to Jimmy.

He took my hand, is this a date?

I never even did it with Michael.

*******

We went to a shopping mall near Jimmy's apartment. He bought me a smart phone.

"This phone you use for communication with me. The network I've set with the best provider. There is also a special chat app. You can use it to send me messages.

Not reducing your pulse, but with an interner network. Every month the bills will come with me...."

"Jimmy, is this not excessive? This phone is expensive, if I take it home tomorrow. My parents will ask for sure. I can't take it...." I put the phone down again.

Mobile phone with qwerty keybord, as well as in complete touch screen. The latest phone in its class that was launched on that day.

I actually did pick up that phone. In modern design and black color with gold list.

I looked at her and asked, I deserve this?

"Take Cahtrine... I want to easily contact you. And I want you not to feel inferior when I meet my friend2.... " Say Jimmy said as he picked up the phone and put it in a white paper bag.

"Minders? Definitely Jim, I don't even think I need to know a lot of your friends... " I answered.

"Ooo... Can't do... As long as you're with me, it means you're coming with me wherever I go... And you need to be self-assured too.... " Jimmy then took me.

We also left the mobile phone store. We were walking to see another shop, I'm here but my mind is somewhere else.

How I was with Jimmy. Answering the invitation to live together alone I can not do.

"Jimmy!!! " A person with a male voice called out.

I reflexively looked at Jimmy. He was the guy I met in the lounge. If I don't get her name wrong, Louise.

His face is like a westerner. Tall, pale-skinned, pointed nose and short curly hair.

She was with the woman beside her. I asked if it was the girlfriend or the life partner of this man.

"Lou..... Hallo-o... Tumben you're here.yanna.... Where you guys from?" Jimmy greets.

"We're from home, just walking. It just so happens that there are you.. Stupid we met again huh.." Yana answered while looking at me.

"Hey Cahtrine.. Remember us?" Louise greeted me.

"Remember.. We met in the lounge the other day... " I answered with a smile.

"Yes, you want to eat together? It's lunchtime... " Louise looked at the watch in her hand.

Jimmy didn't take my hand off. He just kept holding my hand.

Honestly, I feel confident. I feel like I'm being acknowledged by Jimmy.

"Can.. I concur.. How dear?" Jimmy saw.

I was surprised to hear him call my dear. I didn't answer, looking at Jimmy.

"It looks like you guys just made it up, huh.? Cathrine is still embarrassed. Come on, relax a little bit.. He's a good guy, we don't force you to eat either... " Say Yana.

"Not so, I'd like to join. We eat sushi? I haven't tried it in Jakarta... " I answered.

"Hufffs... Okay.. I'll just order bento. Lets go's.. Go... Go.. " Answer Louise.

We walked behind them. I occasionally look at Jimmy and smile.

And vice versa, he never let me out of his sight.

We stopped at the tei shop. The shop that provides sushi, there's a revolving table running. In the seating area.

We chose one of the spots that are not too crowded. I sat opposite Yana.

"Why see me there?" Yana asked me.

"No. I just love to see my two eyes. The highlight is sharp and firm .. " I try to answer as I can.

"Don't be afraid, my face is fierce, but you will see me from the other side... " Yana smiled.

I think I should stop judging people by appearance.

"Alright, let's just eat, order what you want.. We should be full... " Said Jimmy.

*******

Jessy starts to fidget, she sees a watch on her hand. It's 2pm, Casting's gonna be starting soon.

He was still trapped in Budiawan's apartment. How Jessy got out of there..

Jessy was afraid that if Budiawan knew where he was going there would be a war.

"Darling, why are you so rich.... " Budiawan approached Jessy.

She hugged Jessy from behind. He kissed Jessy's shoulder.

"No, baby, I just touched. I'd be honest, but I don't want you to be mad.." Jessy replied as she leaned against the middle-aged man's chest.

"Hm... You just say it, let me judge it later.... " Said Budiawan.

"Ehm.... But promise not to be angry with me.... " Jessy showed me her little finger.

Budiawan also promised by hooking their little finger.

"So, yesterday I was offered my old assistant director. Create a new Pickle Casting at J&J. Talk show said... " Jessy told me.

"You're on offer but ask for a casting?"

"Yeah... " Answer Jessy.

"Stupid you.... If offered for what Casting again? Sillier.. Uh wait a minute.... There is no harm in you leaving..

If you are selected and can enter there, you can find information... Yep.. Is correct... " Buddy is planning something.

"Content... You must have given me a heavy duty... " Jessy replied as she moved her lips.

"Roof... Don't sulk baby.. I'm just curious about the way Jimmy runs his business right now.."

More than that, Budiawan planned something evil. Can be seen from how he had thought of taking full stock owned by Jimmy.

That immediately crossed his mind.

"so? can I?" Jessy tried to seduce.

"sure. I will take you and wait." replied Budiawan.

in Jessy's heart he was upset.why this old man had to interfere.The initial purpose he came to was none other than, wanting to tease Jimmy.

"Okay, baby, I'll get ready. Wait yeah... " Jessy left the man.

He changed his clothes and rearranged the make up on his face. In fact, he uses softlens to add beauty to both eyes.

"why dance with total? you say it's just casting, or you want to tease the director like you used to. " Budiawan said.

Jessy glared at her, actually Jessy was always denigrated by her lover, especially Jessy tempted the director so she quickly got a job.

"let me just dress up as usual.Let's not be ashamed to be with me." replied Jessy.

**********

"So have you guys been living together?" Louise opened the conversation.

"Not yet, the sweet lady beside me has not decided. I don't want to force him either... " Jimmy answered.

Louise took the shrimp tempura in front of me. He gave it to Yana, he also took it for himself.

"Do you live together? And are you two lovers?" i asked.

The two of them looked at each other and threw a smile. Both of them were suitable to be seen.

"We live together. But, we don't want to be tied down to marriage until we're properly ready. We have a lot of things to prepare... " Answer Louise.

"I was once in your position. Being a woman with demands about status and marriage. The end is also about the material, right? The more we know and are together... We will be careful in deciding to get married...

Can you say than marriage keeps divorce in a matter of months? because what? every marriage is a woman who loses...

so before we're ready, it's good to be like this..." Answer Yana.

"Hehe... So complex, huh? I haven't thought about it yet. Just dated me never...." I answered.

"Clear... Especially with those who are not ordinary people. Their demands are also great to us, the women... Education, work and life style...

let us not make them ashamed.." Answer Yana.

I feel far away from them. Far below them, I am an ordinary person who is not highly educated.

Embarrassed? I like to feel low when I'm with Jimmy.

Jimmy seemed to know I was uncomfortable. Then he held my hand. I looked at him too.

"I didn't force him to be with me now... " Jimmy's over this conversation.

After eating we walked - the road. I prefer to be quiet. I felt my mood instantly become bad..

What Yana said was true. I've heard the saying, we are the mirror of our soul mate later.

If I want to get a good, established man. Yeah I should be established too.

we parted ways, and Jimmy and I decided to go back to the apartment.

in the car I was still feeling sad, like something was hurting my heart deeply.

"are you still angry?" ask Jimmy.

"I don't know Jimmy... I felt sad and felt something hurt my heart... But what he said was true.... "

"Cathrine, you don't have to think like that.... " Answer Jimmy.

"Low gw Jimmy... So we can't be together.... " I held back my tears. My voice became raucous too.

"Yes, that's why.. I offer lectures and other courses. Not without reason... I want you to move forward and be around me.... "

"....... " I'm a fool, why never think like that.

"But back again, it's all in your hands. You want how it was your decision Cathrine... " Said Jimmy.

kring. (my phone rings).

I took and saw from Papa it turned out.

"hallo pa...?"

"sister... how are you? papa misses sister.... "

"......" I shut up, it's a tough question.

"papa wants to cook long-lived noodles for sister. brother will be glad again birthday.. "

"yes pa.. maybe next week pa. "my answer.

"yasudah brother, papa rest yes.you take care of yourself there.do not easily believe in men... "

"iya pa.. happy rest yes pa... "

the call ended..
