"What do you like most about the relationship between a man and a woman?" Jacob glared at the woman standing in front of him. The beautiful woman's back touched the wall.

The look in her naughty eyes made Jacob want to hug her tightly and carry her to the bed. Spent the night together, like the previous nights.

"Sex!" Said the woman. Her sexy lips, looks very seductive when she says that 'word'.

"So, you ended up wearing the lingerie I bought?" Jacob touched the thin, transparent black cloth the woman was wearing. His eyes looked from her head to toe.

"Actually, I prefer your shirt. Moreover, the shirt you just wore. The lingering smell of your perfume. I can't help it, Baby!" She said with a soft sigh on her lips. Her slender fingers landed on Jacob's face.

Slowly and gently, touching the chin to the man's neck. Their faces drew closer, their breaths catching each other, like fire burning their bodies.

"You're mine tonight!" Jacob started biting her lips, while his hands, tightly embracing her body, touched her soft skin passionately.

"Only tonight? I'm only yours for tonight?"

"I'll say it every night, My queen!"

One night, will not be enough. Why we have to spend a short time? While we can stay together and care for each other's wounds. What are we really avoiding?

"You came home early today?" The annoying voice came again. Karen who was still feeling dizzy from drinking too much alcohol, had to stop her steps.

"Going home in the morning is wrong! Going home at night is wrong! Not going home is also wrong. So, what is right, Dad?" Karen cursed in annoyance. For her, home is the most annoying place in the world.

"Never mind, Honey! Let Karen rest! She's just got home!"

"Tch, damn witch!" Karen cursed angrily when she saw her stepmother who always pretended to be a late-night hero.

"What did you just say?" Mr Anderson immediately scolded his daughter who was getting more and more wild and difficult to control.

"Uh... dizzy! I'm not in the mood for a fight, Dad!" She said as she staggered up the stairs.

"Always getting drunk! What kind of woman is that? I've never felt like raising a child like that!" Mr Anderson continued to curse in annoyance. He almost lost his temper.

"Calm down, Honey!" Mrs Miranda tried to calm her husband down and led him back to the dining room.

Meanwhile, Karen went straight into her room and threw her bag and body on the bed. Her head ached so badly from being too drunk last night and worst of all, she nearly lost 50,000 dollars on the gambling table. If Jacob didn't come to her rescue soon, then she would lose the rest of the money she had.

"Damn it! I can't ask some money to grumpy old man anymore! Dizzy! Tsk, how is this? I've been shopping too much this month!'"

Ringing...

"Agh... who's calling?" Karen screamed in annoyance. She wasn't in a good mood to talk to anyone right now.

"Jacob? Hello, Honey? What's wrong?" Asked Karen who suddenly changed her mood when she found out that it was her lover who was calling.

"Why did you come home? I told you not to leave before I wake up!" Jacob's voice showed that he was annoyed.

"Don't be mad, Baby! I'm sorry! I have a headache, I drank too much last night. So-"

"Really? Not to avoid that, right?"

"Avoid what?"

"Morning sex!" He answer. Jacob smiled.

"Uhm... you didn't tell me you wanted morning sex!" Karen smiled mischievously. She really likes sex and she really love Jacob more than anything.

"Should I say it? I thought you should know that!"

"Okay, next time I won't go. Besides, I regret coming home. I'd better stay in your apartment!"

"Why? Another fight with your Dad?"

"Yes! And the Witch came to my defense, pretending to be a late hero for me. She's bitch, just like her children!"

"Want to give up now?"

"Give up? What for?"

"Yeah, I said before that I wasn't ready to get married. But, seeing your condition, maybe it's better if we just get married!" Karen thought for a moment, hearing the word marriage made her think, what is the real purpose of marriage? She always felt that she was not suitable for marriage and the like.

"I don't think you're the kind of man with a family!"

"Not really, but I don't want to see my woman suffer any more. So, we'd better live together! Or we don't need to get married. You can stay with me forever!"

"I want that too, but I can't leave my dad alone in the midst of those wolves in sheep's clothing. I don't want them to think that they can control all of my dad's possessions! They have absolutely no right!"

"I see, I'm only offering the best way. But if you have any doubts, I won't force you!"

"I just can't leave this house before kicking them out!"

"All right, Honey! It's up to you, okay? Do you want to go now?"

"Probably in two hours!"

"Want me to pick you up?"

"Sure, but I'm not going to drink tonight, okay?"

"Okay. Bye, Honey? I love you!"

"I love you too, Baby!" Suddenly, the dizziness disappeared. It turns out, hearing the voice of a loved one, is really effective for improving mood.

"Married? Can a woman like me do it? Agh... must be so troublesome!" She muttered. After a year in a relationship with Jacob. Karen never thought of actually getting into a serious relationship with him.

She loved Jacob so much, he was the perfect man. Handsome, tall, sexy, has an athletic body, rich and knows how to conquer women. His angelic face with his burly body is a stunning attraction. All women want it. Even though they love each other, is love alone enough?

Roseline tied her hair, today there are many orders for a bouquet of white roses. There are 100 bouquets to be delivered this afternoon. Nobody know what that much bouquet is for. However, it doesn't look like it's for a wedding party.

"Rose, take a break, you've worked hard!" Melisa rebuked her little sister, telling her to get some rest. If not warned, she will definitely continue to work until the shop closes.

"I'm not tired! I can continue to the end!"

"No! You can't do that! Get some rest!"

"You can rest first! Then, I can!" Given that this younger sister is a stubborn girl, Melisa is forced to give in.

"Okay my dear, I will rest for half an hour. After that you, understand?"

"Yes, I understand!" Roseline smiled and nodded slowly, she had no other choice but to obey her sister's words.

"Excuse me!" Said a man who had just entered the flower shop.

"Welcome? Can I help you, Mister?" Roseline immediately approached the man with a friendly smile.

A handsome young man with a tall stature stood before her, a man with a shining smile, Roseline who had rarely looked at a man's face in a long time, this time lost on her own principles. Too nervous, she almost answered with a stutter.

"I want to buy flowers!" Said the man. Without further ado, he immediately expressed his desire to buy flowers. Roseline was still rooted to her spot and hadn't shown the reaction she should have.

"F-flowers? What flowers do you want, Sir?" She's nervous. For some reason her heart was pounding so hard she couldn't control it. Strange, this is not the first time she has seen such a handsome man in her life, it's just that this man standing in front of her is truly extraordinary. He was too perfect to be human.

"I don't really know what flowers are suitable. I want to buy flowers for my Mom's birthday!" He said. He looks very calm and charismatic. The reactions of some woman visitors at the flower shop were not much different from the reactions of Roseline. Amazed and fascinated, considering this man was really handsome and very striking. He was very tall, maybe 190 cm and above, with glowing skin with dark brown hair and dazzling amber eyes.

"No, Rose! You can't be like this! God won't like your attitude like this!" She thought. She tries to control her feelings and behave properly in serving customers.

"The flowers in this shop are very pretty. Can you help me choose?" Asked the man.

"Of course! May I know. What flower did your mom like?"

"My mom loves almost all kinds of flowers. I wanted to give her a birthday surprise, because she doesn't know that I just got back to New York this morning!" He said. He is a polite and friendly man.

"Then, how about this white rose?" Roseline shows a white rose that has long been the icon of her mother's flower shop.

"So pretty!" He said. Roseline's face turned red, she felt ashamed of herself because what was praised for being very beautiful was the flower she was holding, not her.

"Okay, I'll just buy this one!"

"Then, I will give you a ribbon. If you want, you can write a love words for your mom on this paper. I will decorate it later!"

"Is that true?"

"Yes, please write. Here's a pen!" Roseline asked him to write a few sentences that could make the people who received the flowers happier, because there were feelings that were also conveyed.

"I'm not very good at putting words, any suggestions?" He asked her opinion. Feeling being stared at, Roseline became embarrassed.

"How about, happy birthday Mom, thank you for giving me a beautiful life, I love you." This time, it was the man's turn to be amazed at her simple, yet very beautiful and meaningful words.

"Thank you." He smiled gently. Then, write down the sentence as Roseline said.

Roseline looked at the face of the man who was busy with the paper and pen in front of her. She had never seen such an attractive man in person.

"Okay, thanks a lot for the help! Uhm... Miss Rose, excuse me! See you?" He said as he walked away with a bouquet of white roses he brought. He left with a smile.

"He said my name? Yes, of course he knew!" Roseline laughed shyly at her strange behavior today. She held the name tag attached to her shirt, smiling happily.

"I wish I can see him again!"
