"I knew tonight would end you pulled me into your bed." I laughed softly and gasped for breath, staring at the ceiling of his bedroom.

"Hey," he protested with a grin, moving his arm behind me, turning my body and pulling me to his side. I spontaneously placed my hand on her hard chest, tracing her skin with the tip of my finger. "I didn't pull you, yeah. You kissed me first." he muttered reasoned, comforted.

I felt tired, a little sweaty, and like my heart seemed to want to get out of my chest. Besides, I also felt very satisfied, warm, and comfortable. "Stay you're wrong, because if you don't behave sweetly by preparing dinner, I can't kiss you." I said as I pulled your cells higher, closing our attached bodies.

For a moment I felt calm because I managed to get rid of all the doubts that filled my head.

"Omong empty. You'll kiss me anyway even if I order Mc Donald to welcome you, love."

I laughed, a part of me knew it was true. I wonder what time it is. "You're overconfident, Paul. I kissed everyone who gave me food."

He chuckled, tightening his embrace. "You know, don't be too happy, but I still have plenty of food in the fridge." He was playing around, wiggling his eyebrows at me.

"You're silly." I gave a small kiss on his jaw and then dropped my head on his upper arm. "I think I should get home soon."

Paul shakes. "No, you sleep here tonight. I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow."

I don't want to go. Not wanting to lose any chance of enjoying time with her at all, and this was a bit scary as my determination slowly began to soften. I know that I have a long day tomorrow, and I need a good rest tonight. Chatting all night with Paul, even though it sounds really interesting, it's not possible right now.

"Okay. Then let me sleep in peace." I gave in, to him and to my own will.

"Yes, yeah. I, uhm. There's something I want to show you." He cleared his throat, reached out to the nightstand to grab his phone. I was still curled up in his chest, feeling the fatigue slowly seeping into my body.

The whole night we spent together felt perfect. Dinner, chatting, making love made me barely able to get away from it.

"What's that?" I murmured slowly, feeling comfortable and relaxed. I haven't felt this for a while.

I watched Paul's movements as he searched for something on his phone, then all the calm and comfortable feeling I felt before instantly evaporated as soon as he showed me an article.

...'Paul Klug Is Back With Mysterious Woman, Bianka Becker.'...

One photo of us kissing in the woods this morning appears there. I hurriedly snatched the phone from her hand, then sat down and read the contents of the article while holding the blanket over my chest.

...'Bianka Becker, 22, an intern nurse, was caught kissing during a morning run...'...

I observed the article, all the things that anyone who wrote this knew were spinning in my head. They even know the hospital I work and study at... Of course, there are some lies to make the story more interesting, but otherwise there are also truths that scare me. I don't think there is anything that can be kept secret in this day and age.

"You okay?" Paul sat beside me, leaning on one hand while he looked at my face.

I was terrified and didn't even realize my tears were starting to pool. I told you, I heard something behind a tree back then. All I want is a quiet life, with or without Paul. I don't want my life written around spread like this, I don't want people to think they know me.

"Bianka?" Paul rubbed my thighs.

I turned my head to look at him. "How do they know everything about me?"

His brows furrowed, realizing how angry I was. Very very angry. "There is an internet..."

"I never put personal information on the internet!" I shook my head, rubbing her hand on my thigh trying to calm me down, but it only made me even more angry.

Now I'm in the media spotlight, just because I can't keep my pants on when Paul Klug is near me. Really sad.

"Maybe they ask your co-workers and pay a little. It could be anyone, really.." he muttered carefully, as if he did not want to wake the sleeping tiger. But this tiger had already woken up, giggled, and pushed it slowly.

"I know, love." He's massaging the base of his nose. "I'm sorry. My manager called when we had dinner last night and asked if..."

"Wait, what? Why didn't you say it when you received the call?" I was silent for a moment observing the change in his expression. "Is it because you won't have a chance to fuck me afterwards? Oh, my God, Paul..."

"Don't be silly..." Paul shakes in frustration. "You yourself know my purpose in approaching you is not to want to fuck you, I want something more in this relationship. I just don't want to mess up our dinner."

"Are you even considering telling me this before you fucked me?"

"I'm not fucking you, Bianka! We do it both, on the basis of liking. So, stop thinking I'm the one who messed things up." He gently rubbed my thighs, yet his eyes darkened and implied a threat.

"Okay, you're right, sorry..." I tried to smile at him. "But still, you should have told me..."

"It's really hard to think straight when a beautiful woman kisses me on the neck and..."

"OK, stop!" I patted his arm and held back a laugh.

He grinned in satisfaction, then shrugged as if he did not know what he had done to me. I could no longer hold back the laughter of watching her behavior. It was a completely new and strange experience for me.

When I blinked, the tears that had been shed just like that, became even more intense as I thought about all the events that had happened to my life lately. I rubbed my face with the back of my hand.

"I've never seen someone laugh and cry at the same time." she snored after letting me cry for a few minutes.

"Oh, please. Where have you been all this time?" I smiled, then lowered my gaze, staring at the screen of his phone that still displayed articles about us.

"Stop that..." He combed my hair back and then leaned in to kiss me.

For a moment, I cursed myself who was so weak to him. I replied to her for a moment, then pushed her chest while shaking her head. Paul understood, he nodded once and withdrew from me.

"This news..." Reality hits me again. "My co-workers must have seen it, my family, my friends..."

"It's not the first time, love. You're a 'Mysterious Woman' Paul Klug. Everyone is amazed by you" he said.

I shook weakly. "No. This photo is different from the previous one. We kiss here, everybody thinks our relationship is more than just a friend."

"My manager advised me to announce our relationship on twitter or other social media."

I cringe. "What kind of relationship are you going to announce, then?"

I saw him scratching the back of his neck while chuckling a stiff little. "You must have hit me if I said you were my lover and we were officially in a relationship. That's exactly what my manager wanted. It's very unfortunate that if I spend time with a woman who's nobody when we're busy preparing for the World Cup, people will think I'm not focused on training, and..."

"What exactly are you going to announce about our relationship, Paul?" I'm impatient.

Pau. "We dated. Nothing serious, just trying to get to know each other and asking people to give us a little space. Well, that kind of thing."

"That sounds..." I hesitated for a moment, but still appreciated his intentions even though I knew after he spoke about me in public, there would never be any more privacy for us outside. "Lumayan."

"Yes?" His mouth was curved high in a very admirable manner. "You sure you don't mind?"

"Yes." Yeah."
