TAMING THE TIGER

Arriving at his office, Felix sat on the soft sofa. He was so tired after serving his spoiled cousin. His right hand reached into his pocket and found his cell phone. Then, without waiting any further, he immediately called Roxanne. The calls are connected but only the voice of the operator answers them. It's not usually Roxanne like this.

Felix frowned. Why isn't Roxanne answering it? Where is She going? What is she doing? Ah, gosh, Felix doesn't want to think this way.

Felix also turned off the call. He has called Roxanne many times, but the woman doesn't answer his calls. Felix chuckled irritably. It was late afternoon. If it's like this, he can't focus on his job anymore. Roxanne manages to worry him half to death. Even though this is so trivial.

Felix came out of his room and immediately went to the car park in the basement and drove his car. He immediately headed to the Collin family mansion.

"Felix? What do you need here?" asked Agathe upon seeing who the guests were at Collin's residence.

"Mom, it's really nothing. I just want to meet Roxanne. Is she home?" asked Felix.

"Yes. She's in her room. But, you know, earlier she entered the house annoyed. In fact, she locked hersself in the room from there. Mom did not dare to bother her until now. She really looks fierce. Just go to her," Agathe explained with her motherly style and made Felix laugh too low.

Apparently, the tigress is in need of taming, Felix thought amused.

"Roxanne's room is at the corner. The maid will escort you." said Agathe.

"All right, mom." Said Felix and the waiter led him to the tigress's room. The female tiger.

This man didn't get tired of bothering her. How many times has that man called? Roxanne doesn't even want to accept her summons. She is still upset. Very very very upset.

Roxanne, lying her stomach on the bed, thinks about what happened to her. She was very upset to see Felix with the woman earlier. Gosh, it feels like she wants to tear the man's body apart.

Suddenly, the door to her room was knocked and opened.

"What !? I told you not to bother me anymore! I'm in the mood to be alone!" she snapped without turning her head at the open door.

See? She had the courage to yell at her own servant. Oh, someone please remind her to bow down to her servant later. After her mood got better.

Feeling there was no answer, Roxanne was just silent and sank her head in a pile of pillows.

"Apparently there is a tigress that needs taming here."

Roxanne's body suddenly stiffens. Oh, no no, not now. Roxanne still hasn't turned to face Felix, the man who had already entered her room. The mattress moves. That means the man got into bed. Roxanne doesn't want to make a sound.

"C'mon, princess. How many hours have you locked yourself in a room like this, hm?" asked Felix.

Roxanne is still silent.

Felix, who had been silent, was annoyed. Finally, he lay down beside Roxanne and rested his head with the other hand, facing Roxanne.

"What's wrong with you, Roxy?" Felix asked softly. His hand moved to rub the top of Roxanne's head. along Roxanne's hair that is hanging on the pillow.

Roxanne's heart warms up slightly as Felix asks softly like that. Jeez, she almost faltered. His voice, the way he treats Roxanne. Everything. Roxanne is almost shaken by everything that is in the man right now.

"If you don't answer, I'll rape you here," Felix leaned closer to Roxanne. "right now." he added while Roxanne was still where she was. Felix chuckled with amusement.

Felix turned Roxanne around quickly and crushed her down. Roxanne forces her eyes shut tightly. It was very clear how Roxanne closed her eyes so that they displayed wrinkles on her eyelids. It just made Felix laugh low.

"See? Now who is the worst liar here, hm?" Felix removes Roxanne's hairs that cover Roxanne's face.

Roxanne knows this is all wrong. With a position that was so unfavorable to her, she knew she should shout and walk away from this man. But, Roxanne still doesn't want to open her eyes or make a sound. Silence occurs for several minutes.

"Come on, honey. Don't make me have to force you to open your mouth and rape you in your own room." said Felix.

No, no. What should I do? Roxanne thought.

"All right. You wanted this, honey. So don't blame me." Felix started to bring his face closer. Roxanne can feel the roar of Felix's breath brush her face. And before Roxanne had time to calculate the elapsed time...

CUP!

Felix opened his eyes. As it turned out, he kissed Roxanne's palm. Felix laughed at it. She saw Roxanne open her eyes and there was a flash of resentment there.

"Move," Roxanne snapped. Without more small talking, Felix sat beside Roxanne smiling. Roxanne straightens her body.

"So?" Felix raised his eyebrows while asking for an answer from Roxanne.

Roxanne glances at him and snorts. Felix who saw only amazed. Just yesterday she was able to be cute, now Roxanne has returned to her true nature.

"Is there any problem?" asked Felix. Roxanne is still silent without opening her voice. Then, she stood up and headed for the walk-in-closet to change her clothes. Before long, Roxanne came out in her comfortable home clothes. Felix has been watching Roxanne since earlier.

Roxanne sits at her dressing table and combs her hair. Not wanting to stay still, Felix approaches Roxanane and takes over the comb Roxanne is holding.

"You don't want to talk to me? Are you mad at me? Did I make a mistake on you?" asked Felix. Felix combs Roxanne's hair gently.

Roxanne sighs. "Stop it, Felix." she said later. Felix frowned incredulously. Stop it? Stop what?

"Stop all that bullshit."

Felix increasingly did not understand what was really with Roxanne.

"You've tried enough. I'm the one who doesn't want to. You've given enough attention to me. But, really," Roxanne paused to take a breath. "Really, I wouldn't want all that if you did all that to other women too. How, then, is the difference between me and these other women?" Roxanne managed to say it.

Roxanne looks up to see Felix's reaction as the man has stopped combing her hair. Okay, this is a little awkward. Roxanne didn't know what to do because she suddenly felt like she was speaking words that really didn't need to be said. Come on, Roxanne's just not interested in Felix. She just felt that it would be unfair if Felix did the same thing to other women.

Felix just looked at her through the mirror in front of her. Roxanne is unable to read the expression on Felix's face right now. In fact, she didn't even dare to guess what this man was thinking.

Roxanne takes the comb from Felix's hand quickly. Suddenly, Felix instead gripped Roxanne's arm tightly. Roxanne is surprised, because it really isn't a comfortable position when one arm is raised like that.

Felix releases Roxanne's hand. Still in his starting position, he quickly pulls Roxanne's chin up and kisses her. Of course Roxanne is surprised. Why did Felix even do this? Roxanne closes her eyes. However, then Felix stopped it. Roxanne opens her eyes slowly. She could see Felix's eyes.

Then, Felix turns Roxanne around to face her and squats down in front of her. He looked at Roxanne intensely. Roxanne doesn't understand. She had told Felix to stop doing this. But, Felix even kissed her like that. And the stupidest thing is, Roxanne is enjoying it.

Felix smiled. A second later, he chuckled. WHAT ?! Was there something he laughed at? Is there something funny? Does Felix think this is all a joke?

Roxanne frowns in understanding. "Why are you laughing instead?" she asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Felix stopped laughing. Then, he looked back at Roxanne.

"So, from what you told me, can I draw any conclusions if you are jealous?" asked Felix.

"NO, I'M NOT!" Roxanne looks away.

Wait. Do I look jealous? Oh, Roxanne doesn't like that thought.

"Look at me, Roxanne." Felix touches and pulls Roxanne's chin so that the woman's face is facing Felix again.

"You're jealous. You think i'm not serious with you. I can tell. The problem is, what made you this way?" asked Felix.

Roxanne is embarrassed to tell about it. Roxanne looked down at her fingers tightly held by Felix. Thinking deeply about whether to tell Felix everything.

"Tell me, Roxy." said Felix again.

Roxanne looked at Felix's face. She tried to think of the right sentence to tell a story.

Oh, how cute is this tigress. Apparently Roxanne was jealous of him. However, Felix still doesn't understand what made Roxanne think that way. 'Do all that' to other women? Who is Roxanne referring to?

Felix held Roxanne's fingers as if to give the strength to immediately tell how Roxanne felt.

"I… I… I saw you," Roxanne said.

See me?

"Saw me?"

Roxanne nods.

"You… were with a woman… this afternoon, and you both look very cute. Well, you match." Roxanne says it while biting her lips.

Oh, not the lips. He didn't want those sweet lips to be bitten like that. Felix pulls her chin so Roxanne doesn't bite her lip anymore.

"So, because of that?" asked Felix. Roxanne nods. Felix smiled for a moment and sighed softly.

"I don't want to say this, but that's how I feel when you look familiar with my brother, you know what that feels like, right? Is it hurt?" Roxanne only frowns, looking thoughtful. Felix smiled seeing her.

"Come on, don't think about it anymore. She's just my cousin, honey." said Felix.

Roxanne was a little surprised when Felix said the woman was his cousin. Oh, my God, how embarrassed Roxanne is right now. So, she was jealous of Felix's cousin? How stupid! Roxanne lowered her head and covered her face with her hands. After knowing the truth, she was embarrassed now. Supposedly, she shouldn't overdo it like this. Jealous. How stupid.

"Hey, hey, what's wrong?" asked Felix. Felix is ​​confused why Roxanne is acting like this, then he tries to keep her hand away from her face.

Roxanne almost cried with shame.

"I'm embarrassed, you idiot!" shouted Roxanne who hasn't opened her hands from her face yet. She heard Felix's mocking laugh.

"Why should you be ashamed?" asked Felix softly.

No, don't be gentle like that to me. Roxanne silently shouted.

"Go away!" she shouted.

"I don't want to. Oh, what am I going to do? I want to stay here. With Xyxy." said Felix. Cutely.

Slowly Roxanne took her hand away from her face and she could see Felix's smile. Roxanne grieved and averted her gaze.

"Have you eaten?" asked Felix then. Roxanne only nods.

Suddenly, Felix carried Roxanne in bridal style. A surprised Roxanne immediately draped her arm around Felix's neck spontaneously. Roxanne bulged her eyes.

"What would you do?!" Roxanne looked panicked as Felix walked towards her bed. Suddenly she remembered Felix's threat.

"Do what's on your mind." Felix grinned. Felix's words seemed to answer what she was thinking right now, making Roxanne even more panicked.

"Wh-what?"

Felix lies Roxanne on the bed. Then, Felix sat on the edge of the bed, smiling.

"Now, don't think anything weird. At least I don't want to do it with you today, maybe someday?" Felix smiled and raised his eyebrows mischievously.

Roxanne who heard it blushed. She threw her pillow at Felix. With alacrity, Felix immediately caught it. They laughed together instead.

Without Roxanne and Felix knowing it, Agathe who saw the two of them from outside the door only smiled and shook her head at the couple's behavior.

"Young people these days," she muttered. Agathe has been standing outside since Felix laid Roxanne on her bed. From a distance, as a mother, she saw a glare of love from Felix. She became even more sure if Felix was serious about Roxanne. Not wanting to linger there, finally, Agathe went downstairs to meet her husband.

"Get some rest. I remember you were always annoyed with me. If it's like that, you must be tired, right?" sneered Felix while pulling a blanket for Roxanne.

"Yes, you made me think too much and I'm tired because it drained me so much today," Roxanne said sarcastically. Felix just laughed at that.

"Then you have to be nice to me every day. That will be good for your health." said Felix and laughed. Roxanne rolls her eyes in embarrassment.

"Looks like I have no work tomorrow," said Felix later

"So?"

"I'm taking you somewhere." said Felix with a wink.

"Oh, Mr. Mysterious is back." Roxanne chuckled.

"But, you never refused. That means you're happy."

"As long as it doesn't endanger my life of course I will enjoy it."

"Hey, I've never done you any harm," argued Felix. Roxanne laughed. "Gosh, I'm just kidding.... but, who knows if one day you even invite me to do extreme activities, of course I will refuse it." Roxanne snapped.

"You're always thinking nonsense," chuckled Felix.

Roxanne just shrugged her shoulders.

"Well, looks like I've tamed my tiger. I'll go home then." Felix saying goodbye. Roxanne only nods even though she pouts a little because Felix calls her a 'tigress'.

"Night, sweetheart." said felix. He stood up from the edge of the bed and smiled.

"Be careful." Roxanne replied. Felix nodded. Then, Felix left her room and said goodbye to Roxanne's parents to go home.
