FOREVER HATE YOU'S
59. Packs

The atmosphere of the Brianna Apartment that day felt different than usual just because Arthur was still there. The man seemed to want to investigate more in the daily life of Brianna and Chico in the afternoon like this, when the woman was not working.

After making sure Chico ate well, Brianna bathed the boy. Arthur wanted to contribute, but Brianna prevented him from doing so because she didn't want Arthur to get wet. Though, Arthur had no problem with it, but Brianna still refused help from the man. Until finally, Arthur can only see Brianna who is bathing Chico from the doorway of the small bathroom located in the place.

Chico plays water, looks very fun and occasionally watering Brianna with a splash of water he took from a burning faucet.

"Haha!" Chico laughed at Brianna who pretended to frown and looked wet from her actions.

Brianna goes to water the boy, replying to the attack Chico gave her. Arthur saw that interaction with a cramped face. He also wanted to play with them.

"Come on, Dad! We're attacking Momma!" invite Chico and Arthur to participate in the un-professional activities that call for it.

"Arthur, you'll get wet!" Brianna tried to remind but Arthur did not care, he did not want to lose the sweet moment where he could feel the togetherness with his son and wife like today.

"Okay, Chico, it's Daddy's turn!" Arthur watering Brianna with a splash of water also made the woman laugh while replying to Arthur's actions. Brianna no longer cares if Arthur is really wet because of this, because Arthur himself started.

Fifteen minutes of water play finally the three of them were completely wet.

"It should be Chico who takes a shower, then Momma should take a bath later!" brianna's now-serious protest rubs Chico's small body with a bath sponge.

"It's okay, Mom. It's afternoon anyway. You do have to take a shower" Chico replied with a giggle.

"Yes, he's right. After Chico takes a shower, we have to take a shower so as not to catch a cold."

Arthur blinked one eye, and Brianna snorted at him.

Brianna didn't shower right away. She'll put her son's clothes on first.

"I'll get Chico ready, you take a shower first. I'm gonna have Flo bring Zach a suit to change your wet clothes" Brianna said before leaving the bathroom.

"I'm just waiting for you."

Brianna clucking. "Hurry, Arthur. Don't joke around a lot."

"I'm serious, it'll save time if we shower together." Arthur smiled meaningfully.

"You're this." Brianna bobbing heads. "Don't do this in front of Chico. There's still plenty of time" he said later.

Hearing that, Arthur's face turned red. Even his ears are similar in color. He felt so blushed, for some reason. His intention to tease Brianna is precisely he who feels tempted because of the woman's statement.

Arthur took a shower there. As she finishes the activity, Brianna hands Zach a t-shirt and trousers to lend to him.

"If Zach finds out, he'll be pissed."

"She hates you, but that doesn't mean she'll have the heart to see you come home in a wet shirt."

Arthur thins the lips. "I don't think so, she would've preferred to lend me her clothes, rather than see me wearing nothing in front of you."

Brianna held back, Arthur said it was true. Zach would have been more willing to lend me that shirt than Arthur wandering around Brianna's apartment in a te-lan-jang.

"Daddy!"

Arthur sees that Chico is already handsome in his home clothes.

"Well, Boy?" respond Arthur.

"Let's play. I'm gonna show Daddy my toys."

"Okay, but Daddy's getting dressed first. Okay!" Arthur immediately closed the bathroom door again, because since then he only used a towel there.

Brianna lets Chico unload her toys in the corner of the room, while she heads out to the balcony.

On the balcony Brianna planted many plants. There are fruits, cacti and ornamental flowers. Not much, just a few to make the atmosphere of the balcony more beautiful.

Brianna began watering the plants, before she decided to take a bath.

"You here?"

Brianna turns and finds Arthur wearing Zach's shirt. It looked a good fit for him even though Brianna rarely saw Arthur wearing only a home shirt.

"Wand first, you're wet, I don't want you to catch a cold."

"Yes, a little bit more, Arthur." Brianna smiled gently but continued her activities.

Arthur was so happy to see Brianna smiling like that to him. He rubbed his own nape because he was suddenly groggy. Arthur realized this attitude of his like a teenage boy who was stricken with love. But she was not ashamed of it, she felt it was her delayed puberty.

"Why smile?" asked Brianna who accidentally saw a timid face in the man's countenance. Usually Arthur always put on a stiff face, or annoying, but lately Brianna realized that the man smiled more.

"I'm happy to see your activities. I want to see you every day as my life's vitamin, I'm sure it will affect my body's endurance every day."

"Basic woo!" erok Brianna while giving a smile, he was finished with the activity of watering plants, was about to enter the room but was blocked because Arthur's sturdy body was in the doorway.

"Keep away, I'll pass!" brianna said snobs, but she didn't seriously throw Arthur out like that.

"Your tough words make me miss you, '" Arthur said honestly.

Brianna chuckled, she gestured for Arthur to give him some space to get in, and the man complied until Brianna passed him by.

"Suddenly I was feeling hot" muttered Arthur who saw Brianna pass into the bathroom.

Arthur shook his head faintly, trying to shake off the dirty thoughts that were raging in his brain when he saw Brianna. He breezed leisurely towards Chico who was playing alone in the corner of the room.

"Come on! Let's play!" invite Arthur and Chico to greet him enthusiastically.

...****...

Brianna has not yet returned to work, either with Jane or continuing her duties as Arthur's assistant. He hopes that after this he can work but still be able to share his time with Chico. But given her increasingly improved relationship with Arthur, Brianna doubts that the man will still give her permission to work.

Permission? Ah, Brianna didn't expect that now she was thinking of permission from that man to do something. Has Arthur affected his way of thinking enough?

Last night Arthur didn't stay at his apartment. Brianna does not want to make Chico confused by the presence of Arthur who suddenly spent the night in their place. Although his son had already said that Arthur was his Daddy, but for Brianna he still had to explain carefully to the boy about the true circumstances.

In this case, Brianna doesn't want Chico to be confused. He wants Chico to know the truth slowly, including about his status and Arthur who is married. Brianna will give understanding slowly. Of course with reasons that Chico easily accepted later.

Currently, Brianna is taking advantage of her work holiday by trying to keep her company with Chico as good as possible. He also wanted to take care of the son who had just come out of the Hospital. After all, Arthur let it go, without ever discussing the work in front of him.

The sound of the Apartmen bell made Brianna who was busy watching Chico play lego. The woman came out and found a package deliveryman.

"Md. Walton, there's a package for you."

Brianna accepted it, she saw the name of the sender of the package which was apparently from Arthur. Brianna's forehead frowned, it wasn't usual for the man to send her a package like this. Wouldn't Arthur have been more pleased to come see him himself? Well, at least that's what Brianna knows lately.

Brianna saw the contents of the package. It turned out to be a white baby breath flower. The flower was planted in a small pot.

Brianna smiled at him. Especially when he reads the cards.

"Take care of this plant just like you take care of your other plants. Don't let him die because this is a gift from me."

Brianna immediately reached for her phone to call Arthur's number, but before she did, she called him first.

"You received the package?"

"I've thrown it away" replied Brianna indifferently. He smiled in his position.

"Ah, come on! Don't return my treatment in the past. I used to throw away all the packages you gave me because I knew it wasn't from you."

Now Brianna could no longer hold back her laughter. He laughed, but then he said Arthur again.

"I stepped on it, Arthur. Hear you? I stepped on it," he said again by emphasizing his words.

"Darling, don't punish me this way." Arthur really did not expect if Brianna would repay all his actions in the same way in the present.
