Chapter 1
A couple of slaps landed on both sides of his cheek. This is what he got as he assailed the owner of the flower garden located adjacent to their land.
"Try to touch even just the leaves of my plants, that's not all you can have. You can have more slaps in your face again."
Charlene was furious with the arrogant Gregor. She was still not satisfied. She handed the knife she saw laid on the table. She quickly went closer to Gregor's car and stabbed both front wheels. Then she goes back to the hut that stands at the center of her flower farm. As fast as counting ten, the wheels got deflated, and both flattened. She used the knife she often used to remove the thorns from the roses that always be picked up early in the morning. Most roses displayed in all the flower shops in their town are from her flower garden.
"You are not doing right, lady."
"What do you think is right? To rush me here and tell me to leave this land. No! Gregor over my dead body. What is right? And who among us is right? There is a law that will hear what we are fighting for. Wait for the court's decision. You are not the law, so do not assume that you can do anything if I do not leave this place."
"Okay, fine! So how about my tires? What will you do now with my car tires? That you've been flattened by stabbing."
"Don't you have a lot of money? Well, I am sure, you have."
Charlene's angry expression was already blushing. She even thought of going back to the car to break the window glass in her extreme annoyance. She was just approaching and Gregor grabbed the rock she was holding. Gregor grabbed Charlene's shoulder and turned its face in front of him. He suppressed it with a kiss. Gregor held Charlene's face tightly so they may not be able to pull her face away.
"Then the damage is fair," Gregor stared with a smile.
Charlene was very soft and could not speak. She bowed like a wet chick after she was seized and kissed. The stolen kiss was done to her surprise.
After a while the sound of a car parked in front of the gate. Gregor's girlfriend came. Screaming furiously to get out of her car. Gregor's car tire was found flat. The reason is obvious there was a knife stab. He wondered how his girlfriend found out he was there. He knew that his girlfriend would also do a scandal outside.
"Let's go," Gregor said to Queenie.
"Who hit the tire of your car?" Queenie angry asked.
Charlene could hear Queenie's very loud voice from her seat. Next sound was
starting the car engine. Charlene stood up and peeked. She made sure that the two had already left. She gasped at what had happened. She had never been kissed by a man at the age of twenty-five. Even holding her hand was not yet experienced so how could she forget her first kiss? That there was no other than Gregor whom she hated. She admitted there was electricity in his heart when Gregor's lips touched hers. There's the sweetness of the first kiss she experienced even though it came from the person she hated so much. Gregor rushed to her flower farm to announce that he was going to build a gas station. The land where Charlene's flower farm is located is next to the highway. She knew the matter of that land was still in the court. It is clear who will own and it is clear in the law that the poor who have been cultivating the land for a long time have a part of it. Charlene's parents had cultivated this land before so they deserved a share of it. Tax declaration only they have of the land and has no title yet. Due to the death of Charlene's parents, the title can no longer be processed. Gregor was the grandson of Don Gregorio who owned the whole land. But the front yard next to the highway has been distributed to Charlene's parents in exchange for their efforts the day before. Charlene and her older brother Dexter have a large right to the same land, according to the lawyer when gave legal advice. Don Gregorio also died so there is no proof. Charlene's only possession is the tax declaration stating that they are paying taxes. Gregor was arrogant and greedy to chase after his mother and inherited the rudeness of manners.
Charlene arranges the roses for ready to pick. Then she noticed again that there was a motorcycle had stopped. She glanced at it, thinking that it was the one who would pick the rose.
"It's him again," she whispered to herself.
Gregor was at the gate again to instruct the towing of his car. She ignored it just to avoid trouble. She didn't want them to exchanging of words again. But it entered her hut. She did not know what else the purpose was.
"What else are you up to? Do you like to be slapped again, you're looking it for," she asked.
Gregor was angrily staring but smiling at her. That seemed to tease her with a blushing smile.
"You, didn't you like my sweet kiss? I felt like you would have reciprocated the kiss. Then you didn't push me away, am I right? So it does mean you liked my sweet kiss."
Charlene blushed at the embarrassment she felt. She could not answer, at some point, she was still thinking about what to say.
"Oh! See. You can't react
What can you say?" he continues provoking Charlene.
There has been something on her mind. To throw the small plastic pot with soil at Gregor.
"Oops! Oops! Just wait, when this polo shirt of mine will be filled with soil? Wow! I will promise you I won't just kiss you," Gregor threatened her.
"And who do you think you are to scare me?
"Unless you want something to happen to us."Gregor didn't finish annoying her.
"Stop me, you're so arrogant. Feeling like you can get all the women you want," she said frankly.
Gregor was laughing out loud. And still annoying her. She getting nervous. Even if he could bite her earlobe, his annoyance with Gregor would not go away.
"The question is, am I wrong? Because if I'm wrong you can kiss me free. And that way you can get revenge.
Teasing is already being mentioned along with Gregor's raw laugh. Charlene was forced to lower the burn holder. She thought there was no point in their exchange of words.
"Why did you come in here? You should have just been out there. You've already towed your car, haven't you? Do you want me to flatten the tires of your motorcycle again," Charlene shouted angrily.
No matter how hard she tried to calm down, the man in front of her was making a fuss to make her blood boil.
"I just want to let you know that I hope you don't have any more plants here in this lot next month. Because if you're still here, heavy equipment like bulldozers was ready. I hope that's clear to you," he threatened. Gregor.
"Who are you to threaten me like that? I'll wait for the court to decide, If you win," she replied firmly.
Charlene stood up for the right they had with her older brother.
That place is not just a land but also has a sentimental value. Memories of their deceased parents. So how can she just give up their rights?
'Fight Charlene you know you are right she is talking to herself.
"Goodbye!" Gregor said that she looks like teasing
They even gave her a flying kiss and waved a hand before turning on his motorcycle.
