The sun's rays infiltrated the ventilation of the apartment's glass window, waking Gea who was sleeping in the prone position and still wearing a sexy maroon dress.
"Alexa... please close the window. I still want to sleep," exclaimed Gea who was dazed, covering her face with a pillow.
Alexa sighed, then closed the window blinds again. she already looks neat wearing a black knee-length dress and a white top with closed sleeves with accessories around her neck, and has polished her face with natural make-up but made it a bit thick.
"What time did you come home last night?" Alexa asked as she approached Gea, then sat on the edge of the bed.
"Four is," Gea replied languidly then pushed the pillow off her face. she glanced at Alexa who looked already beautiful and tidy. "What time did you come home last night?"
"Around half-past nine," Alexa replied, imagining the sweet and tense moments between her and Melvin in the car.
"What happened between you two?" asked Gea, glancing at Alexa suspiciously. "Why is your face blushing like that?"
"Em, nothing happened," Alexa replied with a smile biting her lower lip.
"Really? Don't lie to me, Alexa!" Gea was so curious that she sat up.
"Really nothing happened. We just had dinner, chatted, and he took me ice skating in a special hall. His house is very magnificent and his family is very humble, accepting me well," explained Alexa, still smiling, turning to play with her smartphone. She opened her Instagram account and tried to find Melvin's account. Gosh, she hasn't even followed her boyfriend's account.
Gea glanced at Alexa who looked flowery, then peeked at her smartphone. "Yesterday you said you didn't believe in yourself and hesitated to date him but now you're stalking his social media account. What happened last night?" she asked in a small whisper, leaning her chin on Alexa's shoulder.
"Nothing happened, Gea. We're just getting closer," Alexa replied then turned off her smartphone and was about to get out of bed but Gea pulled her to lie on her thigh. They lay down together.
"Gea.. now I have to go to the office! Mrs. Siska will be very angry if I come late!" Alexa tried to release Gea's grip and was about to sit down but Gea was too strong to hold it.
"Tell me something else happened between you two I'm sure something happened because I felt a spark of love between you two!" Gea insisted, saying like a fortune teller. The girl even put her arm around her best friend not to leave before telling her about last night.
"Okay...maybe this is ordinary for you but very extraordinary for me. and I feel this is good, but it will not be good either," said Alexa somewhat embarrassed.
"What... what do you mean by that?" asked Gea, looking up at the ceiling.
"He kissed me," Alexa whispered then covered her face with her own hands, to cover the blush on her face that couldn't hide her happiness.
Instantly Gea sat up and looked at Alexa excitedly. "Aren't you kidding? he kisses you, kisses where... cheek, lips, forehead or ..." Gea said while touching Alexa's face, checking which parts Melvin had touched.
"Ugh!!" Alexa removed Gea's hand from her face then sat down immediately. "You make me look a mess!"
Gea chuckled in amusement and heaved a sigh of relief. then said, "Then tell me where he kissed you. How did that first kiss happen? Gosh, Alexa. You're so lucky!"
"He kissed me when I fell, then kissed me again in the car. I never wanted that to happen but... I can't refuse," Alexa explained while fixing her hair which was tangled by Gea.
Gea smiled amusedly glanced at Alexa, especially seeing the area of her lips that was no longer holy. She put her face to her best friend's ear and asked, "How does it feel to be kissed by the prince? It must be very intoxicating and you will be addicted!"
Alexa glanced at the one who asked the question as well as answered her question. "I was worried that I would be addicted."
"Why?" she asked.
Alexa sighed, remembering the beginning of her relationship with Melvin was very strange and seemed rushed, and forced like someone who was in a hurry. "This relationship is very unnatural, Gea. we are still learning to love each other and I'm afraid if I already love him, he can't even love me and for sure he will choose another girl who is classier than me ... this first love might be very hurtful."
"Don't curse yourself, Alexa. remember that every word is a prayer and I hope that what you're about to say never happens. I'm sure, even though he's a rich man, he doesn't look at anyone in terms of material things..the proof is he immediately wants you to be his girlfriend and his family also accepts you. I'm sure love will grow between you and you must be optimistic, passionate to make him love you!" Gea said at length, trying to convince Alexa who is now starting to be pessimistic.
"Hopefully what you say is true. I have stepped into the area of the world of romance, although I know in every relationship there must be pros and cons, there are sad and happy, I never imagined I would be hurt and change boyfriend," said Alexa then get out of bed. she walked over to the dressing table and took the briefcase she had placed on the chair in front of the dressing table and draped it over her shoulder.
"Now I'm going to work... Maybe I'll be home around 5 and... I already prepared breakfast for you," she said.
"Do you still have money to pay for a taxi?" asked Gea who was not sleepy anymore.
"The money from Mr. Bastian that he gave yesterday as a bribe so I don't tell you your relationship with Mrs. Siska is still intact. I can use it to treat some friends at the office," Alexa replied, slightly sarcastic about Gea's behavior, who is someone's husband's lover.
"Don't call him 'Mr', he still looks very young, he doesn't even have children yet," said Gea with pursed lips.
Alexa sighed, then immediately left the room instead of continuing to respond to Gea's words and would make them chat again and again, then would be late for the office.
"Will Melvin go to the office later? surely Mrs. Siska will be surprised because Melvin will admit me as his girlfriend," Alexa muttered with a smile as she walked down the corridor to the elevator.
Drett... drett...
Her smartphone in her bag rang. Alexa immediately took from the black bag while continuing to walk until she entered the elevator and immediately pressed the button for the ground floor, then saw an incoming call from Siska.
"I just thought about you, now you're calling me," Alexa muttered then immediately answered the call.
"Hello, Miss Siska."
"Hurry and come to the office. Before I have a meeting with a client, we have to talk privately," said Siska from the phone, sounding very curt.
Alexa sighed, remembering what happened yesterday at the mall when she accidentally met Siska. she was sure, what the chatty boss would talk about was about her tens of millions in debt.
"Alexa!" Siska called again.
Alexa returned her focus to her phone and immediately got out of the elevator because the door was already open. "Uh, yes, Mrs. I'll be right over."
"Yes. The sooner the better."
The phone line was suddenly cut off. Alexa sighed, put back her smartphone, and continued walking down the corridor towards the main door of the apartment building.
"If I could, I'd like to quit working at that company. I'd rather be a shopkeeper or something than continue to be her secretary," Alexa muttered, imagining Siska's sour face that she almost saw every day because she rarely got a day off except weekends.
