GOING ON A DATE

"Ella, honey. I want to take you to my salon tonight. Can you?" asked Joanna. Roxanne looked confused for a moment. Not sure how to refuse Joanna's invitation so subtly.

"I'm sorry, mom. But I have an appointment with Felix tonight." Roxanne answered with a regretful face.

"Really? Too bad. It's fine then. We can visit there together next time." Said Joanna while smiling at Roxanne.

Felix came from the dining room and walked over to the two women who were chatting in the kitchen. "Roxy," called Felix.

Feeling called, Roxanne stops talking and turns to the source of the voice.

"Well, your spoiled parasite is here." Joanna quipped.

"Geez. Is that what mom called me? Because I feel offended now." Felix pretended to have a hurt face.

"Who else is spoiled here? As far as I know, your brothers and sister are not spoiled like you." Roxanne explained.

"You are right." Joanna agreed with Roxanne's narrative and they laughed together.

"So you have allied with my woman now. And that's all you do just to attack me? Wow, I feel wasted."

"You're overreacting, Felix." Joanna rebuked her laughter.

"Also, who are you calling my woman, huh?

Roxanne says so without turning to Felix. So that she didn't realize that Felix was already behind her and grabbed Roxanne's body easily. Makes Roxanne almost drop the fruit in her hand.

"Tell me, how should I call you then, hm?" Felix asked right behind her ear which made Roxanne hold her breath without being asked.

Even though he spoke in a small voice, Joanna could still hear it until Joanna just shook her head at Felix, who didn't know place.

"Mom is wrong because you've been standing here too long, or you who never know where to act like that, Felix?" Joanna said sarcastically, stopping chopping the fruit and staring at Felix.

Felix chuckled. Instead of letting go of his hug, he shamelessly slashed Roxanne's neck while Roxane herself continued to struggle to be released because she was embarrassed. Come on, there's still Mom Joanna here.

"Oh god. I can't believe my son will act like this in front of his own mother." Joanna patted her forehead.

"Take it off or I won't fulfill your conditions, Felix." Roxanne hissed.

"You're so fierce. Even though I just smelled you." Felix took off his arms and laughed.

Roxanne rolled her eyes in embarrassment and continued chopping some of the fruit while Felix ate them casually.

"Oh, yeah. You'll just go to the office this afternoon. Let my driver take you there later." Said Felix while eating the fruit. "Ah, also bring casual clothes for me."

Roxanne immediately looked up at the Felix beside her with a large smile and replied, "Okay!" in a cheerful tone.

Joanna felt odd about Felix's request. "Did you just make Roxanne your servant? Because if you were, mom would fire you as a child now."

Felix choked on his mineral water — gaping. "Why do you even think like that?"

"Just now you ordered Roxanne. That's obvious, right? You gave her orders as if Roxanne was your servant." Joanna said she didn't like remembering what Felix had said earlier. Felix took a deep breath. Then, he instead hugged Roxanne's waist from the side.

"I never once gave her an order. Moreover, consider her my servant. Roxanne is my future wife."

With a relaxed face and a typical Felix grin, it is able to make Roxanne now choke on her strawberry juice. Roxanne became awkward in front of Joanna while Felix himself kissed the top of Roxanne's head then left to immediately go to the office.

"Mom doesn't understand why Felix is ​​acting like that. Oh, I'm sorry, dear Ella. Mom never saw that side of Felix that was too vulgar." Joanna shook her head again and continued her activities.

Roxanne then returns to the room to wash up. This morning, she didn't have time to shower because she argued with Felix. Arguing with Felix drained everything. It drains emotions, thoughts, and also time. But, why is Roxanne enjoying it instead. As if, her little arguments with Felix were half her life with Felix.

In front of the bathroom mirror, she looked at herself. Well, she would admit that she felt so beautiful that Felix said he loved her. But, love at first sight? Roxanne is a little doubtful about that. How could Felix be so quick to determine himself the right woman who could side with him. It's really annoying because her brain is always spinning around like this. Roxanne patted her cheek a few times. Trying to make herself aware if she has to try. Reply to Felix's feelings and love him like what Felix has been doing.

In a hurry, Roxanne immediately takes off her clothes and soaks in the Jacuzzi filled with warm water that she had prepared earlier. Very warm and cozy.

15 minutes passed. Roxanne rinsed herself in cold water under the shower. After taking a shower, she headed for Felix's walk-in-closet where there was also Roxanne's clothes that he had taken out of her suitcase when she was arguing with Felix this morning. She could have left her clothes in her suitcase, but the Big Master wouldn't let her and took all of Roxanne's clothes out of the trunk to hang them with Felix's clothes. He said, so that Roxanne got used to it. Yes, yes. Accustomed to being his future wife. Roxanne shakes her head amused thinking about what happened this morning.

After choosing the outfit she wanted to wear, she made her choice on her jeans skirt and a black sleeveless shirt that was completed with her black and white gingham scarf. Roxanne takes her black crossbody bag as well as the sunglasses she is going to wear this afternoon. She let her hair loose, but she will wear her black hat as a complement.

Roxanne went to get a change of clothes for Felix. Because they are going to a club together, Roxanne intends to take casual clothes but leaves no trace of coolness when Felix wears those clothes later. So, Roxanne chose Felix's plain black shirt with matching pants. She glanced at the black leather jacket that was still hanging, and took it. Roxanne also took black sneakers as a complement. Perfect!

*

Come to think of it, when was the last time Felix and Roxanne went out together? Looks like it's been a long time. Felix himself doesn't remember. Though Roxanne lives with him. He only realized it when he left Roxanne alone at home while he was working. Once he took a day off, he left Roxanne at home too. Felix feels stupid.

Without realizing, time was running fast enough. Roxanne should have arrived by now. Just right. Because the secretary had informed him by knocking on the door, which indicated that someone was about to meet him. Well, who else if not Roxanne, the woman?

Felix stands up when he sees Roxanne already in the doorway and walks towards the sofa.

"Here. Your clothes." Roxanne hands over a paper bag filled with Felix's clothes.

"Okay. Oh, do I have to change my clothes here?" teased Felix. Makes Roxanne hit Felix with a sofa cushion. Felix just laughs at Roxanne's reaction.

"Over there!"

Felix goes to the room at the end where there is a partition and Felix uses it to change his clothes. Felix came out of the bulkhead with his clothes perfectly attached. Roxanne who saw him felt proud of her choice. Look at that man. As expected, the outfit will make Felix look cool.

"Wow. I hope I don't have to leave the room. "

Roxanne frowns, confused. "Why? Is there something wrong with the clothes?" Roxanne looks worried if Felix doesn't like her choice.

"Of course something's wrong, honey. I've never worn my clothes like this in the office. What if all my female employees are crazy about me later? You're the one to blame." Roxanne couldn't believe Felix's answer, which sounded ridiculous.

"Are you praising yourself?" Roxanne narrows her eyes.

"Jeez. Which part of my words I say I'm praising myself? I'm praising you instead." Rebuttal Felix did not accept the accusations made by Roxanne.

Roxanne didn't answer. Come on, Roxanne knows if Felix was praising her earlier. However, Roxanne also knew that that man was also praising himself for his increased good looks. Yes, yes. Roxanne admits it.

"Okay, let's stop. I wanted to ask you out. Not arguing at the office."

Felix walks up to Roxanne and holds out a hand. "Let's go."
