Fierce Baby Boy

James woke up around 5 am as usual his body alarm woke him up. Laura was still sleeping soundly, facing him. James' mind suddenly went blank staring at the beautiful scene in front of him. The twin mountains popped out and looked so tempting.

James shook his head to clear his thoughts that were starting to cloud with passion. He got up and walked out of the bedroom. James started doing his morning exercise routine starting from sit ups 100 times.

Laura woke up not long after and saw the man who had slept in her arms last night had disappeared. Did he go back to his apartment? thought Laura.

She stretched her arms up and walked to the bathroom to pee. Then she came out of her bedroom to make breakfast. And there the baby boy was exercising in the morning, very diligent.

"Morning dear," Laura greeted with a sweet smile.

James stopped his exercise and walked over to Laura and kissed her forehead. "Morning too my honey. Did you sleep well?" said James, smiling back at Laura.

"Of course it's good because someone hugs me warmly." Laura teased while sticking out her tongue.

James hugged her tightly and Laura struggled to not be hugged. "Stop it, you're sweating. Don't hug me!"

James also released his arms and laughed then continued his exercise. He did skipping with his Adidas skipping rope.

Laura walked into the kitchen and started cooking. There was leftover rice from last night seemed to be enough for her and James. She also decided to make fried rice with sausage pieces wrapped in a thin omelette egg.

James had finished his exercise and sat at the pantry table accompanying Laura to cook while wiping the sweat off his body.

"What are you cooking, Dear?" James asked.

Laura got James a glass of water and answered. "Omelette fried rice. Wait a little longer. Or do you want to take a shower first, Beb?"

James thought for a moment then nodded his head. "I'll take a shower first, Dear." He went into Laura's room to take a shower.

After James finished bathing and dressed, he headed to the pantry. Laura was waiting for him to have breakfast together. James sat down next to her. James tasted Laura's still warm breakfast.

"Hmm, this is delicious honey. Thank you." said James while chewing his fried rice.

"Your welcome, Dear," replied Laura who was also enjoying her breakfast.

After finishing her breakfast, Laura rushed to take a shower. This morning she chose a long-sleeved shirt made of pinkish in rayon with ruffle accents on the chest and a silk span skirt with a leopard print.

She tied her hair in a ponytail and then applied powder and coral nude lipstick as usual. Don't forget to wear his favorite Elizabeth Arden deodorant and perfume and then wear the clothes of his choice.

Laura came out of the room carrying her briefcase and found James already in the living room.

"Okay, Prof Laura," he answered, carrying his backpack on one shoulder.

Today James is wearing a dark blue polo shirt and light blue jeans with white Nike sneakers.

He grabbed Laura's waist before Laura grabbed the doorknob then turned her body to face James. He pushed Laura's body against the door and kissed her on the lips. The kiss was brief but managed to make Laura blush. Laura bit her lip after James removed his lips from his grip.

"You are so beautiful My Honey," said James praising his lover.

Laura smiled and replied. "You are also very handsome Baby Boy. We have to go now."

They went down to the basement hand in hand and then parted ways in their own car to go to campus.

This morning Laura gave directions to the PA Lab administration staff to post the assignment announcements for the General Pathology and Systemic Pathology courses while she was going to Thailand.

Then Laura uploaded the lecture material for this week to the UGM FKH website. She will bring her Macbook to the symposium tomorrow. There were a lot of thesis and research files there, so Laura copied the important files to her office computer to prevent the files from being lost if she was stolen or robbed on the street.

Laura spent almost 10 years moving from country to country to study until she finally earned a professor of veterinary science with a master's degree in anatomical pathology.

Laura looked at the vase containing a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers on her office desk. She didn't know who sent it, but almost this month, every Monday and Wednesday someone sent her a bouquet of fresh flowers. She had to buy a vase to put the flowers because she couldn't bear to see the flowers wither away if they weren't given water.

She once asked James about the bouquets of flowers regularly sent to her office, but James didn't admit that he sent them. It is still a mystery who sent the beautiful flowers.

Laura also reads the thesis file of her student guidance while waiting until her working hours are up and then getting ready to go to the airport.

At 12:15 there was an incoming message on Laura's cell phone.

"Don't forget to have lunch, My Honey!"

"Or should I order a menu for lunch for you?"

Message from James enter her inbox.

Why did James always know that she forgot to eat lunch, Laura thought. Then Laura replied to James's WA message.

"Ready, Baby Boy."

"You don't have to order, it's just going to the campus canteen, Dear."

James replied, "Good girl!"

Laura took her wallet and walked out of the PA Lab building to the campus cafeteria which was located on the west side of campus. She passed through the lobby of the Anatomy Lab where students gathered who were waiting for the ACC's turn for practicum reports with lab assistants who were usually seniors.

Laura had gone through everything as well as the student's younger siblings when she was in college so she understood. Apparently it was James who was the lab assistant who was surrounded by students who asked ACC for the practicum report.

Laura saw him staring at her and she smiled sweetly at James as she continued walking straight through the crowd. James also returned a smile that suddenly made his junior classmates excited whispering.

"Waaahhhh, he is so handsome when he smile ...."

"He rarely smiles and usually really cool, he looks flat like a wall."

"Brother James's smile makes me cry!"

"Try every time ACC he wants to smile, it will make you feel at home. Sob sob ...."

James pretended not to hear the excited comments of his practitioners who lined up to ask for ACC.

"Which one is Mustika Melinda Prasetya, this is the result of the practice of planting Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, why does it fail? Deck? Do you know what the reason is?" said James a bit fierce.

The so-called name raised her right hand and stammered in reply. "Ehh sorry Brother ... the contaminant bacteria are more dominant in growth."

James said again. "Yes, don't say sorry about that, but it's been sterilized by fire."

Suddenly, the younger siblings fell silent for fear of being scolded by James.

"So it's like this ... when it comes to bacterial culture, you can't talk or joke around. You have to be quiet and bring the media closer to the fire so it's free of contamination. Also, don't hold the petri dish too wide. Do you understand?! Next time, it's more serious for practicum." said James explained firmly while rebuking his younger generation.

James also signed the cover of the microbiology practicum report and put a plus sign and a note: more serious about practicum!! James then submitted the practicum report file to Mustika.

"Okay, Bro James, next time, be more serious about practicum. Thank you very much, Brother," Mustika said seriously and she was relieved because she didn't have to repeat the practicum.

"This is Mustika's other friends who also failed all bacterial cultures! Tskckckckck... Which Fadli Himawan?" asked James again in a loud voice.

The male student raised his hand and said. "Sorry, Bro."

Laura had finished her lunch and was walking down the street where she had left and heard James's stern voice scolding his junior collegemates.

She bit her lower lip and decided to continue walking straight without greeting James. Her baby boy is scary when he's angry. James saw Laura walking briskly almost running as she passed where she was sitting and it made him chuckle.

He glanced at his watch. He still has one more hour to serve the ACC practicum report.

"So, who's practical results were successful? Raise your hand and bring the report here," said James calmly. It turns out that there are also those who have succeeded in growing bacteria Staph. aureus.

He read the practitioner's name. "Dyandra Putri Tobing. So what is the shape of the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria colony in PAD?"

"Colonies are round, smooth, prominent, shiny gray to golden yellow, Bro," answered Dyandra who looked like a nerd with thick glasses.

"Well, finally someone who has the correct practicum results and can answer correctly too. This is a practice report that has passed. Good!" said James handing his ACC to Dyandra.

After almost an hour had passed, the ACC practicum report review event ended and James said goodbye to his younger collegemates. He walked toward the parking lot where his white Fortuner was. James decided to go back to his apartment and take a shower before picking up Laura at the Royal Heritage.
