THE WAY YOU LOVE ME

48

Jimmy opened the apartment door. Then he went inside, the atmosphere was still bright.

All the lights are on, but usually only the bathroom lights.

Jimmy goes deeper, the tv voice is still there. Apparently, someone is still watching tv.

Jimmy sat down next to Cathrine. Apparently the woman was asleep. He can fall asleep while holding his cell phone.

Jimmy took the phone. He then saw, apparently Cathrine wrote a message and sent a photo to him.

"Damn, I didn't read it.... But, you're beautiful Cathrine... Being you now has attracted me.... " Say Jimmy himself.

He took his cell phone out of his shirt pocket. He opened Cathrine's message, then replied.

Jimmy: you and the flower are just as beautiful.

Then Jimmy kept the photo. It was the second photo of Cathrine that Jimmy kept.

Jimmy then tried to lift Cathrine's body. It seems pretty heavy. He tried to take her to their bed.

Then Jimmy slowly put Cathrine down. Lay them on their bed.

Jimmy covered Cathrine's body with a blanket. She stroked Cathrine's hair and face, then kissed her forehead.

"Good sleep, my wife......"

Jimmy then left Cathrine. He cleansed his body of dust and was tired.

Jimmy catches up with Cathrine sleeping next to him.

In his heart he was happy. Even Jimmy looked at Cathrine while smiling to himself.

He never thought he could marry the woman in front of him. I hope his parents don't realize it.

*********

I feel comfortable, but I don't feel like my legs are hanging on the couch. The fragrance is also Jimmy's parfume scent.

I opened my eyes immediately. I looked directly to the side.

That guy's....

Jimmy's on fire, I feel like I want to get close to him. I ventured closer to him.

I then stroked her face, there were some acne-like scars on her face. But it feels comfortable being with him.

Jimmy opened both his eyes.

"Wake up early... Is your sleep good?"

I just nodded, Jimmy hugged me. We were equally closed in the arms that night.

.

.

The sunlight penetrated into the window slit. A man was busy in the kitchen.

He seemed to be busy with a pile of fresh bread and tea beside him. He would occasionally steal a glance towards the bed.

A woman who is now his wife, is still asleep. Smile, that's something Jimmy rarely does. But, that smile began to reappear in Jimmy's life.

"Am I crazy? I started doing things I didn't normally do. Including this.." Jimmy cursed while looking at the Bread he was burning.

Cathrine opened both her eyes, the fragrant aroma of butter piercing her nose. When he got out of bed, Jimmy looked at him.

"Away awake?" Jimmy greets.

"Yes, fresh taste. What time did you come home? I woke up at dawn, you're here... " I answered.

Jimmy turned his body, he smiled at me.

"At 11 p.m. You fall asleep here, I take you and lay you down where you belong... "

"Oh so, I'm sorry. I must be very heavy.. " I answered.

Actually I was hoping he would seduce me or say something beautiful to me.

"Of course, you're heavy and my waist is almost broken... " Jimmy said flatly.

I heard it like a insult to me. I felt something hurt in my chest.

Then I stood up and made my bed. I pressed my heart so that there would be no drama or sadness. Let him do what he wants to say.

I went to the bathroom, but I was standing right behind Jimmy.

I said, "the next time, you don't have to do that. Just wake me up... If you're sick because of me, I don't have enough money to take you for treatment....

Last night, thank you... "

I left Jimmy, I went to the bathroom. I locked it from the inside.

I turned on the shower, it hurt to say something like that.

But I also held back my tears. I can't cry one bit. Don't make!

I'm done cleaning myself up. I dried the tip near the base of my hair that was hit by the water splatter.

I can't wash my hair for the next 3 days.

This straightening cream is like a good one. There is no rigid effect, instead like a natural straight. The smell, I can take it.

Usually I have to endure the pungent chemical smell.

I picked up the nightgowns and clean underwear in the bathroom. I do often die of clean underwear in the bathroom cupboard.

Then I came out after I finished dressing properly.

I saw Jimmy was ready with work clothes. He sat at the pantry table, either waiting for the breakfast to cool.

I walked past him, then I looked for my phone. I am not at all concerned about its existence.

"Can you please have breakfast?" Jimmy.

I stopped holding my phone, then I walked towards the pantry. I sat next to him, as he said.

"I made you some toast for breakfast. It's money for you to buy food or you want to shop and cook..... " Jimmy gave 2 pieces of 50k money.

"Thank you... " I accept it.

I then drank the warm tea that was in front of me. Jimmy was busy with toast and tablet next to him.

Toast or toast I don't understand the difference. All I understand is that they are the same - just like fresh bread with stuffing and then baked with butter or butter spread.

"You don't eat?" Ask Jimmy. He saw me just watching a news show from tv.

Then I took the bread from my plate. I started eating it, it was good. There were eggs and meat slices inside.

"Are you angry because of what I said?" Jimmy asked.

I was struck by Jimmy's question. I continued to chew the bread in my mouth.

"No.. What you say facts. I am fat and heavy. Don't force me to diet. I've been aware of this, I'm going to reduce my portion of the meal... "

Jimmy's face changed, he was shocked to hear my answer. But he kept looking at me.

I was uncomfortable to understand that he was looking at me.

"No... " The answer is short.

"Oh yes, I forgot. Mr. Teddy came last night. He gave me this bouquet of roses. What show is it? Or is this yours that you missed?" My tone turned flat.

But I still don't want to look at Jimmy when I talk.

"I want to give it to you... "

"Yesterday is not my birthday. Not also valentine, usually this is given when there is a certain event.. It looks more like a flower to the bride..." I took the flowers.

"Beautiful.... I just want to give it to you.... " Jimmy answered briefly.

"Does this mean we're dating? Because I never got flowers from any man... Maybe Mr. Teddy wrongly ordered, usually the flowers do not knock like this.. But I could put it there... " I pointed at the table under the quiet tv without a single thing.

"Something wrong, if you accept me? Maybe the florist made a mistake. Let's just put where the flower is." Answer Jimmy who is cold.

"Thank you for the flowers... "

I wasn't done talking, jimmy came over and kissed my lips.

I also welcomed and inhaled Jimmy's body scent.

"Don't be mad about it, I'm just trying to be honest.. No intention of hurting you, about flowers... That's welcome to you, if you want us to date or interpret like that... Alright, from now on you are mine... " Jimmy said to me.

His look in looking at my face. Her warm hands caressed my face. I'm Jimmy's girlfriend?

"The flower is beautiful, the same as the woman in the photo last night. I'd rather see the woman smile than frown..." Jimmy.

I can't answer anything. I hugged Jimmy right away, I was too childish. How this mature and nice guy can accept me. But, now our status as lovers? Didn't it?

"Jimmy, right? Now we're dating?" I said while hugging Jimmy.

He just nodded, this means yes.

"But you didn't shoot me. Usually there are statements of love and others... " I brought out again my Childish nature.

"Be aware, you live with a man like me. It's hard for me to do that, I'm not a romantic guy like your fairy tale..... We just learn, because we're dating but we don't love each other...really?"

".... Is correct...... " I answered softly.

"We live together, and we learn from each other Cathrine.... I want you to focus on your future.... " Said Jimmy as he let go of my embrace.

"Yes Jimmy...."

"I realized Cath, the 19-year-old woman still has a childish nature. Even though I haven't looked at you like that. But, let's learn to understand each other so that our relationship is, not just the present... Okay?"

I snuggled, and that's what Jimmy said. If I'm going to stick to this relationship. I have to understand him too.

Jimmy stroked my cheek, he smiled at me. When we lived together, at least I was only with 1 man.

He took care of me like family. Not just asking me to serve him like a slave.

"I'm leaving Cathrine first, until tonight... " Jimmy kissed my forehead.

I then drove to the front door. I waved my hand as Jimmy left.

When I closed the door, I couldn't help but feel happy. I smiled to myself as I looked at the flowers.

I opened the laptop under the TV desk. I opened it and started surfing the internet.

I started looking for information on courses and lectures. Because I'm with an established man. I need to keep myself strong too.

But Jimmy still gave me financial access. I can't waste free money. At least when we split up later, I can be established.

Why did I learn to love ? I thought for a moment about what Jimmy said. Study each other..?

I don't really love Jimmy. Why do we have dating status....

Just because we're going to live together?

**********

The clock shows at 4pm. Jimmy just finished an online meeting with relatives outside.

Jimmy's new business needs relations from abroad.he also has to prepare a new file, even a passport for Cathrine.

He leaned his head, tired that day. But when she closed her eyes, Cathrine's face always appeared.

"It looks like I'm crazy, from getting married to her. To change her status to my girlfriend.... " Jimmy swore to himself.

Geck... Geck... (Jean knocked on the door).

.

"Now..." Jimmy answered the door knock.

"Good afternoon sir, this is Mr. Louise coming. Deal with you as on schedule... "

"All right, tomorrow I'm gone for 10 days. Please if it's not urgent don't call me..... " Jimmy said as he tidied up the signature file and returned it to Jean.

"Good Sir... Thanksmeme it... Excuse me first... " Jean left Jimmy's room.

Louise went inside, and she sat on Jimmy's living room couch.

"Excuse me to sit down... " Said Jimmy.

"Hey, we from kindergarten are friends... Don't be like that... " Said louise.

Jimmy stood up and took a cold drink from the chiller next to Louise. It's put on the table.

"Thank You bro's.. It's really hot outside.. " Louise took it and drank the cold tea.

"Where's Yana? Is there good news?" Ask Jimmy.

"Not yet, like him we are not believed to get offspring quickly.. Oh I forgot! How is your residence permit? what do you want to marry that nice girl..?" Louise scrunched her forehead.

"Can you guess?" Ask Jimmy back.

"If I were you would never... I will not marry that woman. She's an innocent woman and will only add to the problem if your parents find out..." Answer Louise.

"What's this woman with Yana? Isn't that equally innocent?"

"Yes I just don't want to, you're having trouble from your relationship.. You know, how I nw ngeyakinin bokap... " Answer Louise.

"Sante is Bro... I married on paper .. But, he knows. Don't let him know either..." Jimmy shook his head.

"Why doesn't he know? Lo brati calls her freedom directly. Deceiving.. Yeah you're honest with him.. "

"Hm.... I'm tired of relationships using feelings and romance.... Let him live with me, go to college and work properly.... Then when my parents have to retire..

I'm gonna go back and leave him.Anybody's gonna hurt Lou... " Say Jimmy, looking up at the sky that afternoon.

"believe the same words today.the two different types of people who live together. In a certain period of time. definitely will love each other later. Because what?

because you are used to being together, you will hang each other..

you know, right? in the friendship of the opposite sex there is nothing sincere. surely one involves feelings.." Louise said in a heavy tone of voice.

"that's you, I'm sure.we can control emotions and feelings. After all, I've emphasized the same women from the beginning... "

"sure lo? the covenant can and has power in the eyes of the law.if you feel..."

Jimmy was silent and thought, there should be no feeling between him and Cathrine, but, it is difficult to be honest and admit his heart began to enjoy the existence of Cathrine.

"whether Bro.. the important purpose is to make Cathrine sincere. Pure to nolong him. The rest, we dont know.... " Jimmy still denies his feelings.
