BOYS' PLANS

Felix's mind was in turmoil after he received a call. Arthur, his best friend, just called him.

"What's wrong, dude?" Felix asked first.

"I want to tell you something. Where are you?"

"Easy, Bro. I'm having dinner with Roxanne. Just tell me, what's up?"

"So, you're with Roxanne,"

Felix who heard it frowned. "Why?" Asked Felix.

"Can we meet?" Arthur asked. Before Felix wanted to refuse him, Arthur continued his sentence which immediately made Felix frown dislike.

"Take Roxanne with you too, I want the three of us to meet." Arthur continued.

Jealous? Of course. He doesn't want his best friend to also love Roxanne, his Aurore. He hasn't even gotten any explanation from Arthur, because Arthur has already closed his call. When he returned to the dinner table, his mind became even more intense.

Really, he didn't want to be like this to Roxanne. Because, maybe Roxanne would think if Felix was playing with her. How not, Felix realized he had said sweet things to Roxanne and he had taken the first step. Because of that, he didn't want Roxanne to think of it as just a game.

Felix opened the front passenger door for Roxanne and Felix also immediately entered the seat behind the steering wheel. When he drove his car, no one started the conversation. Felix is still at war with his mind to keep him away from bad thoughts about Roxanne and her best friend, Arthur.

Roxanne felt something was wrong with Felix's attitude. The man looks so suspicious. However, she did not want to ask further about Felix because he was busy driving and she did not want to cause any trouble. Roxanne stares at the street which is a little quiet. However, it struck her that Felix had just passed the beaten path they were supposed to take. Of course Roxanne is increasingly wondering what actually happened.

"Felix? You just passed the road..."

"We're going somewhere first." interrupted Felix before Roxanne continued. Roxanne only nodded and looked back at the road.

"Hm, are you all right? Is there something wrong? Office business maybe?" Roxanne asked. Felix just shook his head while glancing at Roxanne for a few seconds. Roxanne fell silent again.

Finally, the car stopped at the edge of a bridge. Roxanne saw a man standing leaning on the hood. Roxanne recognizes the man's face.

What is Felix's friend doing here? Roxanne thought.

She saw Felix getting out of the car and approaching his friend. She did not know whether she should go down or not. But, it seems like she should just stay in the car. Felix didn't even ask her.

Felix knew he should explain something to Roxanne. But, he himself did not even understand what Arthur would say. Considering he was also calming himself. Really, Felix didn't want to make Roxanne think negatively, in fact, scared her. Not at all. Only, this situation really made Felix feel so annoyed.

"To the point." said Felix quickly.

"Well, if you say so." Arthur answered upright and put his hands in his trousers pocket.

"I have an arranged marriage, Jullian." Arthur continued.

Felix didn't understand and frowned. "Then? What does that have to do with me?" Asked Felix.

"At first, this problem has nothing to do with you. But, now it's your problem." Arthur answered.

For God sake! Felix was increasingly confused by Arthur's words. He was annoyed because Arthur did not say quickly and clearly. He was also annoyed because Arthur interrupted his date with Roxanne only because he wanted to tell her about his arranged marriage. And what ?! Is this related to him? How can? Before he even asked, Arthur continued.

"The woman is her." he continued while staring at Roxanne. Suddenly, it of course made Felix turn around and see Roxanne who was staring at him with a questioning look.

"DAMN YOU, ARTHUR!" said Felix.

"Hey, I haven't even accepted the match yet. I also didn't want this match before I knew this woman." Arthur explained.

"Her name is Roxanne." Felix warns Arthur.

"Yeah, whatever." said Arthur. "Now, what will you do, Jullian?" Arthur asked then.

"Why me? Your parents set you up, you should say if you don't want it." answered Felix.

"I DID! But, dad told me to tell Roxanne's father himself. That made me difficult. So, here's the plan, we went to Roxanne's parents' mansion together. How about that?" Arthur asked.

Felix seemed to think about this plan for a moment. It didn't take long for him to undertake the plan and breathe in relief.

"It looks like your girl has waited too long, Jullian." Arthur teased with his mischievous smile. Felix chuckled before responding.

"Not yet, Dude." said Felix, punching Arthur's small arm. They laughed and returned to their cars.

Roxanne was confused about why they both looked at her with a serious look. However, shortly after that, Felix looked back with his humorous face.

"Going home now, Princess?" Felix asked suddenly with his trademark smile.

Roxanne isn't stupid when she truly feels the change in Felix's expression. Before he met his friend, he didn't even start the conversation as usual. Now, look at this man. He even called her the 'Princess'.

Roxanne just smiled and nodded. She was silent not knowing what to talk about. Felix also seemed to focus on driving with one hand. Nobody started the conversation like before, but this time the difference was that Felix looked more cheerful than before. Well, Roxanne won't think about it. Honestly, she also likes Felix with his bright face like this. He looks cute and handsome at the same time.

Roxanne woke up from her reverie when the car had stopped in front of her mansion. She was about to get out of the car, before she realized what Felix was doing. Felix turns off the engine and opens the car door.

"What are you doing?" Roxanne asked.

"At least, I have to say goodbye to dad and mom, right?" answered Felix, winking.

"What? MOM? DAD? Since when -" his protest sentence was interrupted when Felix had descended before her and opened Roxanne's passenger door.

"Hey, since when -" his sentence was interrupted again when Felix put his index finger on Roxanne's lips.

"Shut up or I'll kiss your sweet lips, Roxy." whispered Felix right in front of Roxanne's lips.

Roxanne froze in place. What had Felix done to her?

Roxanne is too cute when she always behaves like that. For some reason, it actually made Felix really want to kiss her lips. But, he will hold it. He must hold it. He was getting close to Roxanne, so he didn't want to make a barrier between them.

Felix smiles as Roxanne is silent. "Come in." asked Felix while holding Roxanne's hand. Before going up the stairs, she saw Arthur's car had entered the gate and stopped near the felix car.

Roxanne turned her head. "Your friend? Why -" the sentence again had to be interrupted when suddenly suddenly Felix turned his head to Roxanne and kissed Roxanne's forehead.

"HEY!" shouted Roxanne.

"I told you to stay quiet, baby. But, you just keep talking. Say, you certainly like that punishment, right?" teased Felix.

"NO! You jerk!" Roxanne snapped, releasing her hand from Felix's grasp. But of course it is impossible to succeed. Felix is too strong to hold Roxanne's hand.

Felix just smiled mischievously. "After all, it's only about your forehead, Roxy." said Felix.

"You should get yourself a room, Jullian." Arthur said suddenly.

Felix just fiddled with his eyebrows and went back up the steps of the mansion. The mansion's big door is opened by the mansion's head. Felix can see Roxanne's parents are in front of the TV with her three other children. Roxanne's sister also realizes the existence of Felix, Roxanne, and Arthur. Both Roxanne's parents and older siblings followed Jeanette's direction.

"We're back." said Felix with a smile and tightened his grip on Roxanne.

Felix remembers the purpose of he came here not only here to take Roxanne home. But, also to tell Roxanne's father to cancel Arthur and Roxanne's arranged marriage. Come on, even this is all too sudden. Of course Felix must immediately rack his brain. This time, he also had to work with Arthur. He released his grip with Roxanne and sat opposite Roxanne's father. To his left, Arthur sat relaxed.

"I didn't expect you to come with Arthur, Felix." said Adrien.

Felix smiled as he leaned in before answering. "Arthur and I have something to say, Dad." he explained with a smile.

Everyone except Arthur - of course - seemed confused by this situation. Felix already knew what he had to say. Ah, no, Arthur has to talk first, then he will immediately launch his plan.
