At six o"clock in the morning, Wirata woke up as her body clock was set to wake this time. The tall figure was lying closely, snuggling at her back. His face was at the crook of her shoulder. Wirata sighed, looked at the time she only had a few hours of sleep.
"Where are you going, hmm? Don"t get up yet. You aren"t working at the company anymore."
The drowsy voice murmured at her neck. Restrained her waist from getting up. Stefan sighed with his eyes closed. He was so tired, felt as if he just fell asleep not long ago and now it already morning. Her waking up making him wake up too.
Stefan pulled her closer to him and put his nose on her soft skin. She smelled like morning roses in his mother"s garden. What would his mother think if she saw her?... Stefan sighed again, his brain must have been hit quite badly to think of the thing he shouldn"t think like this.
"Summer." She replied. She hoped he did not forget that there weren"t just two of them in this place. There still was another life here. The puppy would want to go outside at the balcony garden to his private toilet.
"You go back to sleep. I will go see him myself. "
Stefan murmured lazily. He knew that last night he was stubborn and overworked her. She looked tired and weary. He was, too. But this time he would let her lie down a little longer.
Wirata nodded to agree with him. She was too tired to say no to his offer. looking at the tall figure grabbed his pants and put his blue soft robe on, tied it loosely at his waist. Then he walked out with his eyes half-closed to the puppy"s room. Wirata couldn"t help smiling. Stefan might not like humans that much but he definitely fell in love with Summer.
"Arf!" The voice of the puppy cried out as soon as he saw his father"s tall body. Summer gave his daddy a glimpse as if he was asking why he was so slow. Stefan grabbed him up and touched his nose on the puppy"s nose as he normally did and carried him to the wide balcony garden. Stefan didn"t let Summer walk, his short legs would make it too slow. Stefan wanted to go back to sleep for a little bit more after taking care of the puppy.
"Arf!" Summer made a noise when his personal business was done. Saw his father standing asleep! Summer looked at his tired face, thought that father must have overdone it last night. Stefan opened his eyes and used the paper to wipe the little dog until clean. Walked to pick up the bone and put it to Summer"s mouth then carried him back to his room.
"Daddy will go back to sleep for a little longer. You nibble this bone and wait for me. Okay? I only need another hour. "
He said to the puppy. Stefan saw the little face looking up at him and tilted his head a little in puzzled gesture, saying that they had not yet played ball. He walked to a ball at the corner and nudged it to Stefan"s feet and sat back staring up and wait.
"Daddy is so tired. Just one hour and then we will play. I promise." Stefan said to him and yawned.
Summer continued to tilt his neck. His eyes were complaining that he needed his father too. He didn"t see him much last night. He nudged the ball to hit his daddy"s feet. His eyes completely plead. Stefan sighed.
"Alright, boy."
He spoke in surrender tone. Rolling the ball out the door towards the floating garden. Summer waggling his tail happily and ran after the ball. Stefan shook his head and smiled.
The tall body stretched a few times and then followed the puppy out. He didn"t think he could go back to sleep now. Stefan took off his robe and pants, dropped them on the bed by the pool and jumped into the swimming pool.
Wirata tried to go back to sleep but she couldn"t so she decided to get off the bed, walked to her room, washed her face, brushed her teeth and walked to the puppy"s room. But she didn"t see him and Summer so she went to the kitchen to make coffee and then walked out onto the garden.
"Come swim with me"
The das.h.i.+ng voice shouted immediately when he saw her. Wirata shook her head. She put the coffee on the table by the swimming pool. Saw little Summer gnawing on the bone.
"No. I can"t. I have no energy."
The soft voice replied. He smiled mischievously and swam to where she was standing. His sharp blue eyes also were speaking to her, reminding her what he had done with her last night. Wirata tried not to blush and ignore his teasing gaze.
"Give me my coffee."
Stefan ordered. He looked at the slim figure, she was wearing shorts and a blue T-s.h.i.+rt. Her face looked weary, indicating that she did not have enough sleep. She handed him a cup of coffee. He lifted it up, drank it then put it down on the edge of the swimming pool.
"Something"s on your hair."
The husky voice said, with his dark blue eyes looking at her head, his eyebrows frowned. Wirata immediately lifted her hand and touch her hair.
"Where? What is it?" She asked with a worried voice.
"I don"t know. Looks like a stain, not sure. On the left side"
He answered. Wirata tried to find what it was but touching her head all over.
"No, not there, a little backward. "
He pointed out. Wirata made a frowned face when she couldn"t find it.
"Come here, I"ll remove it for you."
The well-wis.h.i.+ng voice said. So Wirata sat down on the edge of the pool and bent her head down for him to take a look.
Right that minutes she had to shout with a shock when the big hand grabbed her arm and pulled her into the water. She sank and swallowed water and coughed. Heard the cunning man laughing. Wirata held his neck tightly to balance herself and coughing more.
"You idiot!" She yelled at him when she could speak. Stefan grinned, satisfied to see she was soaking. Wirata lifted her fist to smash him hard on his shoulders. Stefan tried to avoided.
"Ouch! Hey. You just said you had no energy but you can beat me up now. Ouch! That hurts!"
He shouted but Wirata didn"t stop.
"You deserve it! I will never trust you again!"
Wirata gave him a daggered glare. The crazy man was laughing pleasantly with no care.
"Since when did you trust me?" He asked with curiosity.
"Never again as I just said."
Wirata muttered with a sullen face.
"Don"t pull your face, not beautiful and not nice." He said in teasing tone. His strong arms wrapped around her waist to support her in the water.
"I am not nice to a bad crazy man." She shot him back.
"Who is that? I don"t see any here. "
The voice sounded too cool as if it wasn"t Stefan Mackenzie. Wirata shook her head to make her hair move and hit his face. He jerked back and that put a satisfying smile on her face.
He lifted her body up, then buried his face between her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. Her T-s.h.i.+rt was wet and looked thin now. Stefan could see the line of her nipples. He opened his mouth and sucked it. Wirata gashed and smashed his shoulders.
"Don"t do this. Stefan! Behave yourself."
She yelled at him and trying to push his face away.
"What"s wrong with me kissing my girl, huh? Or do you want me to do it to other women?" He said and planted a kiss on her cheek.
Wirata stopped beating him and looked at his face. He obviously was in a very good mood at this moment so she better not stir him up as she knew his mood was easily changed. And now it was too early to be p.i.s.sed off. It has gone only one week since she had moved in here. Other 51 weeks to go yet. So she should save some for later.
Stefan squeezed her bottom in the water and that sent her up with shock. Wirata then squeezed his neck to pay him back. He just liked to please himself too much and didn"t care for the surroundings. Then the two were wrestling in the water. One was trying to kiss and touch as much as he could, the other was smas.h.i.+ng his chest and trying to push his head under the water.
"Good morning, boss. Oh, good morning, Miss." James" voice came.
"Good morning, boss and Miss." Ben also followed.
The smart figures in the suit walked in. That made the fighting in the swimming pool stopped immediately.
James and Ben stopped right on their tracks when seeing the scene in the swimming pool. The boss and his lady were wrestling and the boss was laughing. But now the boss was embracing Miss Wirata in his arms and sending them a daggered glare.
d.a.m.n! Wrong time! ... Ben thought.
"My morning would be GOOD if you two go away. Go have your coffee!"
The boss sent another glare.
"I already had one, boss."
James answered right away but Ben gave him a jab on his stomach that made James realize it was the wrong answer.
"Um, but I usually have two a day. Let"s go, Ben."
James nodded to Ben and they hurried to walked back inside the penthouse by having Summer running after them with a ball in his mouth.
"The boss is definitely falling in the deep s.h.i.+t hole called love."
James said to Ben when they were in the living room.
"Yep, the very deep one." Ben agreed.
"They both got panda eyes, must have been in action very late last night."
James whispered and they laugh together.
"Looks like it. The boss can"t take his hands off her. But I think it is a good sign. I hope she can change him. Last night was too crazy. I couldn"t believe he would have done something like that, and that was Bernardo, his number one enemy."
Ben shared his thoughts with his close friend. People under Stefan"s wings knew that their boss was brave and he would fight along with his men, he would help if his men were in such the situation. But they would not think the boss would also jump to help the man who he had announced as his number one rival all these years.
"It"s kind of weird. As we know the boss and Bernardo were the opposite. But I was thinking Bernardo could have done the same for our boss. So weird between them two."
James joined his friend.
"But it isn"t going to be so weird if I would kick your bada.s.s right now. I presume you idiots wouldn"t have a good day if you don"t talk about me for once."
The harsh voice shouted behind, making the two bodyguards jumped. They turned and give their boss the sheepish smile.
The boss was putting his arm on his lady"s waist and they both were wet. Wirata had a towel cover herself and Stefan had his gown on.
"We are going shopping. Get ready. Just one car, only you two with us."
Stefan said to his men. He wanted to take Wirata to do some shopping. He had noticed that she didn"t have many clothes as a woman should have. Especially, her nightdresses. He wanted to see her in something as s.e.xy as herself, not cotton cute dresses like a girl. But something yummier than that.
"Yes, boss." The bodyguards bow to the order.
