FOREVER HATE YOU'S
33. Exceptions

Brianna could not think of the options Arthur gave her. Losing Chico he certainly won't be able to. Chico is his life. But even marrying Arthur could not be her choice.

Meanwhile, Brianna only had one day to think about it. How could? Arthur gave two hard choices to make in a short time.

They are still in Arthur's apartment. The man even let Brianna think there and said he would go home if Brianna had found the answer.

"Eat. You think too much, I'm afraid you're going crazy" said Arthur, who placed a plate of pasta on the table, in front of Brianna.

Brianna was not aware of when Arthur left and cooked the food for her. What makes Brianna inexhaustible is that the man can still make fun of him now, even though Brianna's head seemed to be hit by a big god when Arthur gave him a choice like this.

Brianna's efforts were in vain. Hiding Chico for so many years must finally be known to Arthur and it feels very annoying.

"Let's eat. Do you want to starve to death!" press Arthur who saw Brianna just glanced at the pasta without touching it.

"How can I be interested in food, even I have no appetite to bribe it," Brianna admitted in a weak voice.

Arthur approaches, then without Brianna guessing the man actually wants to feed the food to Brianna.

"Open your mouth, aaa ..."

Brianna was grieving, she didn't like Arthur's attention. Why didn't this man just let her die of hunger?

"Why should you bother, wouldn't if I died you could take custody of Chico without a hitch from me?"

Arthur commented on the faint smile, which Brianna had just seen this time. The smile seemed sincere, Brianna to throw away the face when she saw it.

"I just want to be nice to you. Things I've never done to a Brianna Walton. Think of this as my thanks because you're about to give birth to my son into the world" Arthur said, making Brianna gawk.

"You know, I hate your sweet attitude!" serobot Brianna's.

"I know you like my shitty attitude the most, don't you?" Arthur responded casually.

Brianna hissing. Furious at once strange with Arthur's unusual attitude.

"I can be this sweet every day if you want to marry me."

"Oh my ..." Brianna rolled her eyeballs, but she was also at a loss for words.

Arthur chuckles. "But of course I'll just do it in front of our son, the rest .. You know how annoying I am, '" she admitted.

Brianna could no longer bear to hear Arthur's words. He was leaving right then and there.

"I can't think, if I see your face continue I really want to curse," said Brianna frankly.

Instead of being angry, Arthur laughed softly. "I've always liked that spicy mouth of yours," he explained.

Brianna went to the corridor to get out of the apartment unit immediately.

"Where are you going?" arthur asked, Brianna did not answer, only a long sigh could be heard coming out of his nostrils.

"I told you, you can't leave before you give me an answer to the options I've given you" Arthur concluded.

"I told you, too, that I have to go or that I'll keep yelling at you!" angry Brianna stifled.

Arthur was laughing, but there was nothing funny, it seemed like he really liked Brianna's spicy mouth, it was a kind of entertainment for him.

"Hurry up and tell me how to get me out of this place!" Brianna kicks the door, which then makes her realize that the attempt will never succeed in getting her out of Arthur's confinement in the apartment.

"You can go out for a while to get wind ..." Arthur grinned, Brianna who saw it from her position - instantly feeling that there was something Arthur was planning.

"The terms are easy" continued the man.

Brianna breathed a rough breath, he expected that if he asked Arthur there would be no free term. Everything will have conditions. He knew Arthur would use him.

"What?" ask Brianna lazy.

"No way!" sergeant Brianna.

Arthur did not budge, instead continued his unfinished sentence. "Second, give me a kiss" he said lightly.

"You're really crazy!" as Brianna couldn't take it anymore.

"If you don't want to be okay, but the consequences are you can't get out."

Brianna finally sat down in the corridor at the front door, she would not go back to the sofa where Arthur was there.

Arthur sniffed his shoulders indifferently.

"Then, we'll lock ourselves in here until tomorrow morning, Brianna Walton."

Brianna snorted and finally curled up with thoughts that seemed to torment her.

...****...

Arthur finds Brianna asleep, still in the same place that is the corridor to the exit. The man sighed with all his chest, then approached Brianna's position.

"Basic bar-bar!" lamented Arthur. He lifts Brianna's body in one fell swoop and carries her on both hands.

Arthur looked at Brianna who had now moved into his arms. "You know, sometimes I just want to give up on you" he murmured softly.

Arthur took Brianna into the room in the apartment, then laid the woman's body carefully on the bed.

Arthur sets the temperature of the room to make Brianna comfortable. He knows that Brianna is in a dilemma of a difficult choice. Well, Arthur does understand that Brianna would be hard-pressed to pick. Arthur realized this all started from his own mistakes.

After setting the air conditioner of the room, Arthur placed his remote on the nightstand, along with which he glanced back at the sleeping Brianna, a tired face emanated clearly there. Arthur stroked a glimpse of Brianna's unraveling blonde hair.

"You're mine, Bri," the man's inner.

Arthur finally leaves Brianna there and closes the door.

Arthur picks up the phone and calls Jane in New York to say what her next plan is.

"What's up, Arthur? Brianna's in Canada, isn't she?" ask Jane from across the street.

"Yes, Mom. Brianna arrived yesterday."

"Then you can meet Serena."

"No, Mom. I won't see any more women or girls."

"But you promised that you'd try. You should get married, Arthur. The past between your Mommy and Daddy don't make a benchmark, every household is different. And you will also live something that is not the same as what Mom used to do. You're gonna be happy having a little family, huh?"

"Alright, Mom. I have decided to get married. But not with the women on Mommy's list" Arthur said calmly.

"So, with whom? Don't make Mommy have a heart attack before you get a granddaughter out of you."

Arthur chuckled, but a moment later he mentioned Brianna's name which surprised Jane, of course.

"Are you seriously? She's Brianna?" jane asked in shock.

Arthur could even guess how shocked his mother's current face was.

"Yes, Mom. Other than her, I'll never get married."

Arthur was aware of everything he said. He also knows that Brianna is the only woman to be included in the exception in his life. If all this time he did not want to get married, then with Brianna the principle will be willing to leave. Arthur knows that Brianna is always an exception and that at the same time makes Arthur have to violate a principle that he has made himself.
