SHE ONLY NEEDS HIM

Felix is ​​sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at Roxanne who is still asleep. He didn't have the heart to wake her up for dinner. In addition, there are things he wants to discuss privately with Roxanne.

Slowly, his fingers gently rub the top of Roxanne's head - smiling. "Roxanne," he called softly.

Felix kisses Roxanne's forehead - making Roxanne groan and move restlessly. Felix chuckled. "Honey, you must wake up, dear Roxy."

Roxanne moves and mutters "hmmm," but not yet opening her eyes makes Felix laugh in his low voice.

"Roxy, if you don't wake up now, I'm going to bully you until you're embarrassed to death, again. Ah, no. Anyway I'm going to bully you until you beg me — kneel at me to stop." Threatens Felix.

Roxanne seems to have heard it, because right now she is grumbling and blinking a few times.

"You suck." Roxanne groaned irritably. Felix laughed.

"Well, you won't be happy with the threat of 'I'll rape you' again, so since I already know your other weakness, I-" his mouth was already shut with Roxanne's hand that was closing it.

"You talk too much, Felix. That's a plus point to make you even more annoying." She grunted again, then took her hand away from Felix's mouth.

Roxanne stretches her body and opens the blanket, revealing her long legs. Felix who saw Roxanne's short skirt which is almost open to the top shook her head and lowered the short cloth to cover Roxanne's exposed white thighs.

Roxanne furrowed her brows at Felix. She didn't know what Felix meant, plus her consciousness was not yet fully assembled.

Felix grieved. "Geez, you. You should just take off all your clothes at once. If it's only half open like that, it's the same as you're trying to tease me." He said - standing up from the bed - trying to avoid Roxanne's tantrum. However, it was all too late.

As soon as Felix said the word 'open', Roxanne realized her clothes and already prepared a pillow in her hand-threw it on Felix's face when Felix was already up.

"YOU SUCK! GET OUT!" shouted Roxanne. felix is ​​felix. he laughed even though he had stepped out of his room and closed the door of his room.

Roxanne turns her gaze around the room and pats her forehead as she notices the messy room she did. Stupid. The shoes that lay just like that, the crossbody bag lying on the floor. Oh, and don't forget about some of the paper bags she laid on the floor.

Roxanne glanced at the clock that indicated dinner time. That means, she had slept for nearly 4 hours. She cursed her stupidity. Finally, she picked up her belongings which were scattered on the floor before taking a shower and went down to the dining room. Everyone must have been waiting for her downstairs.

"Is Roxanne awake?" Joanna asked when she saw Felix sitting in his dining chair.

"Yes, Mom, it looks like she's taking a shower right now. It took time to wake the tigress." He chuckled – remembering Roxanne.

Joanna shook her head. "Guess what, being annoying is your new hobby now." Said Joanna.

Felix laughed. His mother's words are the same as Roxanne's words that were just said. "Only for her." Felix replied, shrugging his shoulders.

Before long, Roxanne descends and enters the dining room. Seeing her, Felix pulls up the dining chair beside him and tells Roxanne to sit there. Roxanne's look is very fresh even though she is only wearing casual clothes.

"You must be very tired, huh? I'm sorry." said Joanna - sitting across from Felix.

"Ah, I'm fine, mom. I'm sorry that I didn't prepare for dinner tonight." Roxanne says regretfully.

"No, no. There was already a maid to help me earlier." Joanna answered.

"Sis, Felix said you're a hard-to-wake tigress." Chirp someone suddenly. Roxanne turns - it turns out to be Orson.

Roxanne tilted her head. She didn't know what to respond to Orson's sentence. Before he could say what he meant, Felix had already protested.

"Hey! When did I say it! And, what ?! Who said that?" Felix did not accept it when Oson turned out to be misinterpreting what he said earlier. Besides, he said it just for fun.

Roxanne turns to Felix and looks at him closely. Her eyes seemed to ask for an explanation of what Orson was saying. But later. She will ask for that explanation later. She didn't want to cause a fuss when they were about to eat dinner like this.

"Come on, let's have dinner first." Luckily Ferdinand made a voice and asked everyone to finish their dinner first.

Roxanne is grateful that this dinner could be passed without any feud between her and Felix. The man just finished his food without saying a word. Although sometimes Felix also had time to get some side dishes and asked Roxanne to eat them.

Just as Roxanne had set foot on the steps of the stairs, Felix called out to her.

"Roxanne." call felix. the man sticks his hands into his trouser pockets - staring at Roxanne closely.

Roxanne raised her eyebrows. "What is wrong?"

"I want to talk. Privately." Felix answered without taking his eyes off. Roxanne is nervous because of that look.

"Oh, okay." Then follow Felix who walked into the back garden.

Felix stopped right in front of a fish pond. Felix sighed softly. He will not mince words again. He turned around –to Roxanne who was standing there still, then sighed again. Roxanne who saw him was confused about what Felix was trying to tell her.

"Felix, what's wrong?" Roxanne asked.

Felix looks at Roxanne.

"Do you still remember what I told you?"

Roxanne raises her eyebrows - can't understand what Felix means. "Hmmm, what are you saying, Felix?" she asked doubtfully. Afraid to offend Felix, who seemed to want to talk about something serious.

"At that time -" Felix paused - took his hands out of their pockets. "I wish I could get your answer now, Roxanne."

Roxanne is still silent. She was trying to process what Felix meant. the answer? What answer did the man mean?

But, suddenly she remembered the incident at that time –ah, yes. Felix tells her he doesn't want to wait too long. Roxanne gasped. She didn't know that the time would come when she had to explain all about her feelings to Felix — this quickly.

"Roxanne?" Felix's summons seemed to interrupt Roxanne's reverie.

"Ah, yes, about that, yes." Roxanne is nervous. She bit her lower lip as she looked down - playing with her fingers.

Felix didn't expect this response he got. Immediately, he took a step closer to Roxanne and cupped her face – making Roxanne release her lower lip. Roxanne looks up at Felix.

"Hey, why are you so nervous?" asked Felix softly.

"I -"

Felix smiled. "Come on, let's sit down." Felix took Roxanne's hand and led her to a lounger in the garden.

Felix sat on his side with one leg raised to make it easier for him to see Roxanne's face when he spoke later. Roxanne is still silent with her head lowered. Felix smiled - understanding the nervousness of the woman. He also holds Roxanne's hand.

"Hey, Roxy. You don't have to be nervous like this. I won't force you. Yes, although I really hope you have the answer for me now." Said Felix.

Roxanne turns to Felix — staring at the man smiling at her. "Felix, I — I don't know how to tell you. I don't know how to tell you all this." Roxanne says with a curled face.

One hand Felix lifted and gently rubbed Roxanne's cheek. "Roxy, you don't need to think about how you're going to tell me. You just need to express it to me. You just need to pour out all your feelings on me. It's the only way. Please, try to believe me. And it starts from this — this time too, Roxy. Hm? " Felix is ​​still trying to smile gently at Roxanne who still looks confused.

"You know, maybe you are amazed and confused why I always speak vulgarly, too honestly - or whatever - to everyone. That's all I do is not without reason. From there, I want everyone to see me as a man with commitment and big responsibility. I want them to trust me. Maybe you look at me like someone who is too confident or too optimistic. Honestly, I am not that kind of man. But, like I said. I want everyone - you, to see what I am. I want you to see how I love you, I want you to know if I'm serious about having you completely." Felix paused - took his breath again before continuing.

Meanwhile Roxanne was still silent and looked at Felix with an unreadable gaze.

"I want you not to doubt me anymore and accept me in your heart, Roxy. I know — I know you're confused by your feelings right now," Felix paused to see Roxanne's expression suddenly change. "So, allow me to help you express all your feelings to me right now. Please, believe me, Roxy." Felix's face turned pitiful with a smile.

Roxanne stares at him then sighs. Felix is ​​enough to make her comfortable for now. From what Felix said, she felt that she herself was buying too much time while she herself still had not found the right sentence to say. Maybe, with Felix's help - just like the man said - she would find that sentence.

Roxanne closed her eyes for a moment. What Felix said was true. She didn't have to think much. She had been silent for too long and ignored everything. And now, Felix walked over to her - reached out and gave her love.

"You're right, felix." Roxanne said. Felix raises both his eyebrows - not understanding what Roxanne is trying to say to him.

"I know I should have given you a certainty that you have wanted for a long time. All this time.… Not the time that I needed." Roxanne paused her sentence and looked at Felix with her sad eyes.

"I need you, Felix. Apart from my family - all this time, I also need you to cover all my shortcomings. During this time, I also need you to be able to give me what I need in terms of a family. During this time too, I ignore my feelings for you. I love you. I can feel everything when I'm with you. Oh, I'm sorry Felix. I'm so sorry. " Roxanne starts to sob as she spills out all her feelings. She lowered her head and covered her face with her hands.

Felix smiled, then hugged Roxanne who was still sobbing. In fact, her cries sounded louder than before.

Felix strokes Roxanne's long loose hair and rests his chin on top of Roxanne's head. "Ssshh, it's okay. Cry. Spit all your feelings on me. You're okay, Roxy. Like I said, I'll help you. You just need to know that I'll always be there for you - help you, look after you, love you. Until whenever." Said Felix fondly.

Roxanne cries even more when she hears Felix's affectionate words. She also tightened her embrace. This convenience is what she needs. This warmth is what she needs. Roxanne needs Felix. She only needs him.
