Embrace Love's
CH 22'S. Breakfasted
Joanna frowned to see Vincent sitting down eating his breakfast alone.
"Where's Claude?" tanyakanya. Vincent sniffed his shoulders and continued to eat breakfast. Joanna sat across from Vincent so she could see the man's face clearly.
"Have you gone to the office?" ask Joanna again. Vincent shook his head.
"So he hasn't come down from his room yet?" Joanna stared unblinkingly. Makes Vincent start to feel uncomfortable.
"Why are you always so uncomfortable talking to me! You weren't with Claude!" suliku Yoana's. Vincent just kept quiet did not answer and went back to eating.
"Tell me one thing, Vince ...." Joanna is silent, accidentally calling Vincent by the nickname she used to use, she waits for Vincent to raise his head.
After one more mouthful into his mouth, Vincent finally raised his head looking straight into Joanna's eyes.
"Are you going to act like this to me if it hadn't happened before, Vince?" ask Joanna slowly.
Vincent stopped chewing, he looked at Joanna's sharp eyes. His hand holding the spoon stopped in the air, not so bribed and returned to the plate.
"We can't change the past, Miss." With that said Vincent got up and left just like that.
Joanna took a deep breath looking at the back of the man who had never left the throne of her heart.
"My heart never changes, Vince. Still love you without stopping. I've tried to quit, as you asked .. but it never works." Long Joanna just sat in solitude at the breakfast table.
**********
Claude told himself that if he delayed the time down because he needed extra sleep, he couldn't sleep all night. Refusing to say that he was deliberately, in order to see Catalina before leaving for the office.
The girl had managed to make him grin all night like a fool, when her old lover Tania was still with Claude, she never felt as happy as it was tempting a girl, Tania her lover used to tend to be spoiled, so she never felt so happy, always ask to be treated like a princess, her background and nature are very different from Catalina.
Claude couldn't sleep after Catalina's act of dousing his chest with a pitcher filled with drinking water, and now, this morning Claude wants to see the girl again. Don't let Joanna know about this ridiculous behavior or her sister won't stop teasing her.
slowly, Claude buttoned up his shirt and put on his pants. He put on a tie and then combed his hair and sprayed a little perfume on his body. Claude frowned, feeling like a teenage boy who was dating a girl. But he did not deny his heart was indeed happy to meet Catalina.
He pulled out a suit and immediately put it on before opening the door of the room and going down to the dining table. The guess is right, Catalina will be down for breakfast when they're all gone. The girl only interacted with Joanna, and that was just everything related to Leon. He avoids meeting or talking as little as possible to Claude or Vincent.
Catalina was just about to start smearing her bread when Claude entered the kitchen, the girl continued her work and ignored Claude. Claude snorted inwardly.
Other girls would gladly welcome me, but you're Cat.
After pouring out a glass of juice, Claude took a sitting position in front of Catalina to freely look at the girl's face.
"I want the bread too." Claude spoke and looked at the bread that had been smeared with jam in Catalina's hand.
The girl glanced and pushed the bottle of fruit jam and the bakery on the table in front of her towards Claude.
"No. Which has already been. That's." Claude pointed at the bread in Catalina's hand.
Catalina. "Your own bread, this is mine."
"No. I said that one," said Claude flatly. Catalina looked at Claude with her beautiful blue eyes, a look of disdain gazing disdainfully towards Claude as her hands raised a glass of juice and took a sip without turning the gaze over.
Catalina did not realize there was juice on the corner of her lips. Claude stared back unblinkingly, slightly glancing towards the rest of the juice that was stuck on the girl's red ripe lips.
Catalina then started biting the bread she made. Her eyes stared at Claude defiantly.
"You ate that one. You have to make it for me again!" Claude's orders.
Catalina stared pettyly at the command, again she bit her bread casually.
"It's delicious," he said insolently while chewing.
Claude laughed amusedly inwardly watching Catalina eat while talking. The girl still did not heed his orders.
"Cat .. make one for me." Claude drank his juice after returning to give orders.
"I say please do it yourself, sir." Reply Catalina sweetly. Back he bit the bread in his hand with no care in front of Claude. It made Claude very anxious and wanted to teach him a little lesson.
Claude stood up from his chair to Catalina. The girl slightly tilted and looked up at Claude who was already standing very close to her seat. Claude reached out and picked up the remaining bread held by Catalina. Then Claude leaned over, making his eyes parallel to the girl's clear blue eyes.
Claude could not help himself when he saw the remaining juice stuck to the corner of the girl's lips, he approached and licked Catalina's lips, tasting the sweet taste of the juice at the corner of the lips. The girl was wide-eyed .. the shock was incredible.
Claude got back up and began to step away from Catalina who was silent stiff, numb, until he forgot to breathe before realizing his beak felt like exploding and he inhaled the air greedily as much.
Claude took a bite and began to chew on the bread he had snatched while smiling widely. Gotchas!
Before he disappeared, Claude heard Catalina's tone of disbelief and speech.
"You ... kkkk .. kkau!" Catalina yells. Making a wide smile on Claude's lips turned into a stupefied laugh.

"We'll talk about it later. I'll leave you alone." Vincent said flat.
"What's? Whatchu mean?" Claude frowning.
"You didn't listen to me at all, Claude!" Vincent folded his hands in front of his chest.
"Oh!" Claude looked at Vincent for a moment. Then it cleared its throat and gulped several times, feeling a little guilty for not focusing.
"What are you thinking?" Vincent squinted his eyes scanning Claude's face.
"Nothing." But without a smile on Claude's lips, he could not help it. Vincent raised his eyebrows in wonder.
"Hmmmm .. You look weird! You got off breakfast late, you came to the office a little late, and then you've been smiling like crazy since you set foot in this building."
"I'm not crazy, Vincent!" Claude's murmur.
"I said like," said Vincent.
"Stop interrogating me like the defendant!"
"You're acting like a little kid caught off guard, Claude Bernard ...." Vincent squinting.
A red hue flashed across Claude's face before finally changing into an irritated and annoyed expression.
"Stop taking care of me! You better take care of yourself! My sister won't stop hunting you!" taunted Claude.
Vincent only answered him with a loud snort. "Did you meet Lina this morning? Is that what caused you to lose concentration?"
"You're getting chatty, Vincent! Just like Joanna!"
"I'm not chatty!" Vincent scowled in disgust hearing Claude saying it was chatty. For Vincent, chatty is only synonymous with a creature named woman.
"You're actually very compatible with Joanna." Claude only intended to quip, but his words turned out to make Vincent speechless. The man stopped questioning her about Catalina.
That's how your heart rejects my brother Vincent. You set your limits without compromise.
Claude took a deep breath, thinking of his brother who had absolutely no chance.
