I couldn't speak anymore to hear the sentence Gloria had thrown at me. I'm selfish and I can't deny this woman's words.
"I'm sorry" I said, dropping the paperbag I was holding onto Gloria.
I rushed out of the room in a doldrums, as it was impossible to force Gloria again about something I wanted to get from her but could not give her.
I went up the stairs, towards the top floor of my apartment. On the rooftop there is a mini bar that gives a view of the pool. I'll calm myself down there instead of having to get out of the Apartment area.
I sat in a mini bar, the afternoon breeze began to look into the pores of the skin, but the summer was not over so the daylight was still poking towards the pool water.
If Gloria hadn't been mad at me, we should have been out for a walk this past summer before I flew to the UAE.
If Gloria wanted to, I would take her to the movies at the cinema, surf the beach and ride a yacht to the sea. Or if Gloria agrees, I will follow her wherever she wants despite having to circle the entire arena of the fantasy world that has not been on my travel list all along.
We will laugh with joy. Together with each other with a smile. Then I'll calmly leave her and she'll wait faithfully until I get back here.
However, my expectations will only remain a dream dancing in the head. Because, all of this was due to my own fault that somehow had no stance for my relationship with Gloria.
I poured the drink into a glass of sloop, gulped down the toilet, repeated it several times while looking at the state of the swimming pool that was silent without a splash of water.
I lit a cigarette and enjoyed the nicotine I had stirred while breaking my hair in frustration.
Why would Gloria have to demand that I give her feelings? Ah, but I want that from him, too. Damned!
"Owen..." Gloria's voice suddenly sounded behind me.
I turned to look at her, but she was wearing the dress I gave her. The paperbag I brought contained a floral dress with flowers that were suitable for summer use.
I bought it myself, because I accidentally saw the dress on display in a mannequin in a shopping center this morning holding a meeting at a cafe nearby.
"It suits you very well." I threw a smile at Gloria, I don't think she's angry at me anymore. I don't know, but I hope so.
"Where are you taking me with this dress?"
"Wherever you want."
"I'm ready, you're ready. Or do you want to go with a disheveled appearance like that?" Gloria looked to be smiling.
I immediately looked at myself, sure my appearance was no longer neat. Don't ask me where my tie and suit are, I don't remember dumping that thing either.
I'm grinning. "Wait for me, I won't be long." I stood up, walked over to Gloria and wanted to kiss her cheek at a glance but Gloria immediately dodged.
"Later I can smell cigarettes and drinks" Gloria protested as she clamped her own nose, indicating an unpleasant smell.
"I'm not drunk!" argue me fast.
"If I had been here a little while, you would have been drunk." Gloria pushed my shoulder as a gesture for me to move immediately. "Hurry to take a shower, I'll wait here" he continued.
"Ready, Mistress." I chuckled and walked down the stairs with a smile. Thankfully, Gloria's mood began to improve. I hope his warm attitude continues like this to me.

Gloria and I really enjoyed the summer together. We're going to the beach. I've forgotten the last time I took the time for this kind of thing. Usually my time will only be spent working and thinking about the latest building, tower or real estate-designing strategies for my business projects.
As for the past, all I thought about was getting revenge. It's only right if I forget what it's like to have a vacation. My first vacation with Gloria had to be fun.
Before getting off the car, I put on a beach hat Gloria, even I put sunblock all over her body.
Am I not a romantic guy who does this?
If I don't remember going to take Gloria to enjoy the atmosphere of late summer before my departure, I will definitely finish her in the car when my has rat actually rose when giving her a sunblock.
"Owen, remember we're not here for this!" Gloria was warning as my hands started trying to play around.
"Hmm, okay," I replied unwillingly.
We got out of the car too. The atmosphere of the beach is obviously quite crowded but not too because this is the weekdays.
"We're going to the middle of the sea" I said, embracing Gloria's shoulder.
"I'm scared, Owen." Gloria chuckled softly at the end of her sentence. "I dare not swim in the ocean."
"Go to my back, I'll carry you. After that, we'll ride the Yacht that's in the middle of there." I pointed to the middle of the ocean, there was already a Yacht waiting, because I had lobbied before.
"But..."
I immediately held Gloria ala bridal style, she screamed stifled because of my sudden action.
"The more the afternoon the water will rise, so we have to hurry" I said as I continued to carry Gloria's body into the open ocean.
Gloria slapped her face in my chest, while her hands she wrapped around my neck while holding her beach cap as well.
This moment made me feel something that was hard to describe. Suddenly I thought of Gloria's words when we had a fight in the Apartment earlier.
"Do you use your feelings like you love me, for example? Or... Do you love me?"
I looked at Gloria who was smiling brightly. I felt his sincerity for me. Should I return her feelings? I'm just his mistress, he shouldn't love me but I demand him to have that feeling.
I put my face closer to Gloria, smelling her glare from the sun.
"You tease me," I said slowly.
"I didn't do anything." Gloria looked astonished at the words I made.
"With you being quiet has seduced me," I replied with a mischievous smile.
Gloria rolled her eyes lazily and I laughed with her attitude. I think, not only him but I have also been consumed by the charm of this woman.
"Am I not heavy?" gloria asked as I stared straight ahead while still holding her.
"No. You alone, don't you feel that my body is heavy?" I asked the woman back.
"Where I know, I never carried you," Gloria replied innocently.
"But, I'll often befall your body at times-" I can't continue the word because Gloria immediately smothered my lips at that moment.
"Don't talk about it, it's still daytime!" gloria complained.
"When it's late, shall it?" I raise my eyebrows teasing her, Gloria hit me on the shoulder with a laugh.
We arrived at the Yacht in wet clothes.
"Owen, I didn't bring a change of clothes. Ah, I'm so careless." Gloria patted her own eel when we were on the Yacht.
I smiled smirk. "This yacht will be anchored on the island," I pointed to a nearby island. "There's a lot of selling clothes, don't worry."
Gloria nodded. I broke his hair and we enjoyed the facilities at the Yacht.
"I want to swim." I opened the shirt and put my waistbag in a special closet. "You wanna come?" I asked Gloria, the woman shook her head violently.
”Don't be afraid, I'll take care of you."
"No, I just sit on the side and watch you swim."
"okay." I kissed Gloria's cheek before finally splashing out on the ocean.
Gloria was really watching me from the lips of the Yacht, I could see her smiling gently at me.
"Gloria....." I screamed from the water. The woman looked at me with a gnaw-l-as if asking what I was doing by pinning her name like that.
"Belcome birthday!!! I'll miss you, later.." I cried out loud.
Gloria was amazed, some people who were riding the same yacht with us also looked at her with a smile spread, followed by a birthday greeting from them to Gloria.
After serving the men, Gloria walked closer and closer to Yacht's lips, then she squatted down to look at me closer - who was still in the water.
"When do we go home?" gloria Jokes.
"Why? You're not at home? We're still going to the island."
"No, I want to ask you for my birthday gift." Gloria laughed later.
I'm laughing too. "You can ask for anything when you're on the island."
"really? But my birthday cake is at home."
"I'll spend it when we get home."
"All right, I'm waiting for you to board."
After speaking at such a distance, I continued my devotional session for a moment until I finally got back up on the yacht.
I hugged Gloria, letting her clothes that had started to dry get wet again because of my body.
"We'll be home tomorrow" I said slowly to Gloria. "Tonight we're staying on the island."
Gloria nodded obediently. For the first time, he kissed my cheeks left and right in turn. I was stunned by her treatment, feeling wifewa.
"Thank you for your happy birthday."
"Hmm, I'm glad to see you happy. Sorry I haven't prepared a birthday present for you."
"It's okay, I have my own requests."
"Whatis that? I'll try to grant it."
