The sound of a towering door from the open leaves made James wake up, he opened his eyes and turned his head towards the door. Finding my face pouting, James asked, "What's wrong? Why are you pouting?"
I just shook my head. With a cup of coffee in hand I sat on the sofa. I gulped down a couple of spoons of coffee before James shuffled up from the bed with a thick blanket over him. He walked up to me and stood with his eyes in front of me.
"What's wrong?" my many.
"Put your coffee, will you?"
"Emm? Why why?"
"Please, I beg you, Love?"
Hmm. base. Start acting sweet.
"Please...?"
"Yes, okay."
"Thank you."
He smiled happily as I put my coffee and he immediately threw himself on the sofa, put his head on my lap and snuggled comfortably in his blanket.
Geez, instead of seeing the sunrise, I saw this man's cheerful smile that rose too early. What's wrong with you, James? You weird guy.
"You want to see the sunrise?"
"Eh? How come...?"
"Want? Let me have company."
"I can handle it" he said, standing up and walking to the closet to get a jacket for me and for himself, even putting it on my body.
I was flabbergasted in astonishment. The question of "why did he do that" still bothered me even though I knew -- I felt - it was part of the trick and the play before me. Not only the jacket, he even covered me with a blanket, then, all of a sudden he carried me and took me out of the room, towards the upper deck.
On the one hand, what he did was a very romantic thing. I would be very flattered if I were to be another girl. But I-I was the lover of Jack Peterson, the man James crossed as he carried me to the top of the ship to watch the sunrise.
My God, accidentally, what I wanted this morning instead became a dagger that scratched the wound in my lover's heart.
Ii'm sorry....
"You just want to watch the sunrise, right?" James asked and he dropped me off his carrier and sat me in the recliner. "Now sit here." He pulled the blanket, and he wrapped it around my leg while it slipped in, snuggling comfortably in the blanket with my head on my lap. "I want to sleep again. Please elus-elus my head, yes. I love you." He smiled, then closed his eyes again.
Oh, that's so sweet. Like a kitten.
"Thank you for being my life partner, Rose. I don't feel alone thanks to you."
James. I actually feel sorry for you. If you could love another girl instead of choosing me as a wife, maybe your love would be reciprocated. With your sweet attitude like this, it may not be difficult for other women to love you. In fact, if I wanted to, maybe I could love you. But unfortunately I don't want to, because I'm not a traitor. I don't want to betray Bang Jack. Even if I end up loving you, even if I don't love Bang Jack anymore, I still won't be able to betray him. He was the first man to give me love and sincerity, I would never be able to leave him unless he himself asked for it.
"Rose?"
"Emm?"
"I will give you time, as well as myself, time to wait for you to love me, until my birthday. But after that, I won't care if you love me or not. The most important thing is that you are here. You'rewith me. And my love, that's enough to sustain our marriage. I want you to forever be my wife, and be the mother of my children. I want us to have a child soon, Rose. Please...."
Does that mean you will... snatch my virginity even though I do not love you...?
