Chapter 65 - First Kiss
Anne opened her eyes widely when Aaron suddenly landed a kiss on her lips. Anne, who had never been kissed in her life, immediately tried to push Aaron away from her. But her efforts were futile, as her hands were now locked by Aaron on top of her head.
Let alone being kissed on the lips like this by Aaron, Anne never even got a little peck on the foreh ead from anyone except her parents when they were still alive. So it was natural that at this time Anne was very confused, her heart was beating very fast and she was out of breath. She could not breathe while being kissed by Aaron, when in fact the kiss Aaron gave her was just a soft kiss. He only sucked Anne's lips slowly alternating between her upper and lower lips without playing with her tongue, but still, she was out of breath. Aaron, who had not realized that Anne could not breathe, was still sucking on Anne's thin lips that were not smeared with lipstick. He just realized that Anne was in a bad condition after she struggled to escape with her legs moving up and down.
Aaron immediately pulled his lips from Anne's lips and stared at her without blinking. With a red face, Anne opened her mouth wide trying to get as much oxygen as possible into her lungs which felt parched after she had difficulty breathing for almost two minutes when Aaron kissed her.
"What's wrong with you, Anne?" asked Aaron, confused.
Bug! Anne landed a punch on Aaron's chest with a little force which caused Aaron to squeal in pain.
"Y-you're bad, you're trying to kill me," said Anne haltingly as she kept trying to get oxygen into herself.
Thump.
Aaron was silent upon hearing her words. He then watched Anne without blinking from head to toe.
"You've never kissed Anne?" Aaron asked softly.
Hearing Aaron's words made Anne close her mouth quickly. When she blushed like that, Anne looked even more beautiful. Her cheeks flushed red near her cheekbones and Anne's embarrassed attitude made her even more adorable.
"Anne, answer me, have you never kissed?" asked Aaron again.
"Of course I did, my mom and dad used to kiss me a lot when I was little," answered Anne quickly.
"Not from your parents but from the opposite sex, from a man. Are you ..."
"D-don't talk about it, I'm the one who should ask you. Why did you get an IV?" asked Anne, stammered, interrupting Aaron's words.
"Answer my question first, why did you get an IV?" said Anne, reaffirming her words.
Aaron narrowed his lips at Anne's words. He sat down in front of her, then told her what had really happened. He tried to keep the promise he made himself to Anne, to not keep any secret. Shortly after Aaron told her, she covered her mouth with both hands. She didn't believe that Aaron was also sick, in fact the illness was even more dangerous than hers, who only had a common cold.
"If you have a chronic gastritis like that, then why don't you eat on time?" asked Anne softly with tears in her eyes.
"I was too excited all day yesterday when I came to your apartment, so I forgot to eat since morning, until finally at night you get sick, right? How could I eat when you're sick like that, Anne," Aaron replied softly with a smile.
"Stupid ... stupid boy, why are you this careless, Aaron? Ulcer is not a disease that can be taken lightly, especially chronic gastritis like the one you suffer from. Don't tell me that your stomach has been injured, Aaron ... your stomach has no problem right …?"
" Hey, hey, hey, don't panic like that, I'm fine. It's just an ordinary ulcer, my stomach is fine too. So you don't have to worry," Aaron said softly trying to calm the panicked Anne.
Anne was immediately silent for a moment, then she stared at Aaron without blinking for nearly two minutes. After that, Anne got up from the sofa and walked to the pantry. Shortly thereafter, Anne was heard turning on the electric stove. Apparently, Anne was making porridge for Aaron, she mixed it with chicken. While she cooked, the aroma immediately spread to fill her apartment and made Aaron react immediately. He, whom Anne previously asked to be quiet and sit down, couldn't help himself anymore. On tiptoe, Aaron went to the pantry where Anne was stirring the porridge for Aaron.
When she realized that Aaron was standing near her, Anne only gave a sharp glare without speaking. With that silence, Anne seemed to be ordering Aaron to sit back on the sofa. Because he didn't receive a warm welcome from Anne, he decided to return and sit on the sofa and wait for Anne to finish cooking. Since he was bored, Aaron finally took out his cell phone. He then sent a message to Daniel, his personal assistant. He had forgotten to tell Daniel about his condition.
Tring ... tring ... tringg ...
A video call from Daniel came in as soon as Aaron sent a message to him.
"Yup," Aaron replied softly when he was connected to Daniel.
"How are you, sir?"
"Hasn't it been a long time since your illness recur? Where are you now, sir?"
"Looks like you are not at your house or at the hospital right now. Send me the address, so that I can? immediately follow you, sir!"
Aaron just smiled when he received a barrage of questions from Daniel. Aaron slowly began to answer Daniel's questions one by one. Because Aaron spoke quietly, Anne, who was in the pantry, couldn't hear what Aaron was saying. She immediately focused herself on cooking as soon as Aaron got a call from someone. Anne didn't want to interfere with Aaron's activities. She was still upset and felt guilty for what had happened to Aaron. Anne felt Aaron's pain because of her. If last night Aaron hadn't taken her to the hospital, maybe Aaron wouldn't have forgotten to eat which eventually triggered another stomach ulcer for him.
Not long after, the porridge she made was done. She had added a few asparagus sticks to it so that now the porridge was even more fragrant and appetizing. Slowly, Anne took a few ladle of porridge into the bowl that she had placed on a tray. After cleaning the rim of the bowl from the melted porridge Anne then took it to the sofa, where Aaron was still busy with his cell phone. Even though he had ended his conversation with Daniel, Aaron still had to send some important files to Daniel that had to be completed today, because Aaron had decided not to go to the office today. He was still not satisfied with spending time with Anne. Without Anne knowing, Aaron had also asked his men to send a change of clothes for him. Perhaps in fifteen minutes the clothes should arrive at Anne's apartment.
"Put down the cell phone and eat the porridge first. Your stomach will feel better," said Anne quietly.
"I still have to finish some reports, Anne. You know how it is, as workers, we shouldn't be negligent with our main duties. I don't want my boss to be angry," Aaron answered carelessly without taking his eyes off his cell phone screen.
"Yes I know, working with people isn't easy. But you have to eat first, Aaron. The best and easiest way to cure heartburn is to eat regularly. Not a lot at once, but little by little, so that the stomach is always filled. With that, your stomach won't work too hard to digest the food that's left in the stomach," said Anne again softly.
Hearing Anne's words made Aaron immediately stop his activities and turned towards Anne without speaking for a long time. Suddenly Aaron opened his mouth wide and made Anne confused.
"What?" Asked Anne quietly. She did not understand why Aaron suddenly opened his mouth.
"Feed me," Aaron replied curtly.
"What …? how can I do that, y-you can do it yourself, Aaron," said Anne in a raised voice.
"I still have to send some important files, Anne, I can't eat at the same time. I only have two hands," Aaron said wistfully with a look of hope.
Still feeling guilty to Aaron, Anne finally complied with his request. Anne slowly took a spoonful of her homemade porridge, then slowly directed it to Aaron's mouth. Aaron immediately devoured the porridge in front of him quickly. He then grabbed his cell phone again and resumed his work.
Finally, after feeding Aron for almost 10 minutes, the porridge was finished. Anne smiled seeing Aaron had leftovers on his lips. Without hesitation, Anne grabbed a piece of tissue and gently wiped the food traces off his lips. Aaron, who was still wrestling with his cell phone, immediately jumped when Anne touched his face. His heartbeat accelerated as Anne did that to him. Realizing that Aaron was staring at her without blinking, Anne then took her hand away from Aaron's face. She then got up from the sofa and went into the pantry to cool her body. Being near Aaron made her feel hot for no reason, even though the air conditioner in her apartment was on.
Not long after, there was a bell sound at the door. Anne quickly ran to the door to find out who had come. She was surprised when she saw a handsome man dressed all in black carrying a small bag and immediately gave it to her without saying anything except mentioning Aaron's name. Although confused, Anne finally accepted the bag and brought it in.
"Wow, apparently, he was faster than I thought," said Aaron loudly when he saw Anne carrying a bag containing clean clothes for him. Aaron was sure it was his clothes because he recognized the bag used to carry his clothes.
"Do you know that this is for you?" Asked Anne, confused.
"Of course, that's my bag. It's also my clothes, Anne. Today I decided to stay in your apartment. So I asked some people to send clean clothes to me. Oh right, do you have clean towels? I have to take a shower right now," Aaron replied quickly and grabbed the bag that was in Anne's hand.
"Y-you want to take a shower here and then use my towel too?" asked Anne, stuttered. .
"Yes Anne, hurry up and get me a clean towel or else I'll get out of the bathroom without using a towel and find it myself in your wardrobe ...."
"Don't be crazy, Aaron, I'll get it, wait a minute!!!" screamed Anne in panic as she ran to the second floor where her wardrobe was.
