The Struggle for Wife Love
Bag 145's

Arnold sat on a park bench and turned his head towards the sky. He laughs, laughs to himself for his stupidity.

"Ha ha ha, I know you still love her very much. Thank goodness you came to your senses quickly." said Arnold, laughing wryly.

He left the park and went back to his house. Once there, it turns out Paul was waiting for him and sitting in the family room.

"You just got home? Looks like you're enjoying your acting as a snatch for someone's wife." Paul said with a laugh.

"Yes, and finally the woman realized by herself and ran where she should be" Arnold said, pouring a drink.

"This fast? You haven't even started the show yet" said Paul.

"Yes, thank goodness he quickly regained consciousness. Otherwise I'd be hard pressed to let go of that woman and the desire to have her gets stronger" Arnold said.

"Alright, so when are you going to explain it to Zean?" ask Paul.

"Nothing to explain, just leave it like this. Maybe it'll be better than I said everything to Zean" Arnold said.

"I'm just afraid your misunderstanding will continue and put some distance between you" Paul said.

"I'm sure Zean's goal is only Tiara, if Tiara is already by his side how could he possibly ignore me. He's not that bad." Arnold defended.

"Well, I hope it is, so do you intend to open your heart and find a life partner?" ask Paul again.

"Maybe not yet, I'm too traumatized by their love affairs. Maybe someday." said Arnold.

"Basic fool.." taunted Paul.

They laughed and spent the night drinking together. Regardless of what will happen in the future. He was only sure that this would be much better, it was time for them to fix their home life.

"Aahhh I'm still a little upset about my treatment earlier. What would Tiara think of me wanting to kiss her?" inner Arnold.

Tonight Andre took a walk enjoying the atmosphere, suddenly he stopped in front of the cake shop. He went inside and bought some cake. After the shopkeeper packed it up he paid and went to Tiara's apartment.

"I'll apologize to Tiara and try to explain everything" Andre said excitedly.

Once there turned out to be Tiara's apartment empty, he had tried several times to knock but there was no answer from inside.

"Ahh maybe he went to see the Christmas celebration, I just remember tonight there was a celebration in Eiffel" thought Andre.

He leaves Tiara's apartment and drives again, occasionally seeing a box containing Tiara's favorite cake. He turns the wheel around and heads to Lucy's apartment. Once there he knocked on the door and was opened by Lucy who did not expect the arrival of Andre.

"Owh, sir. What's your need here?" ask Lucy.

"Can I come in?" ask Andre.

"Owh sorry. Please come in, sir." said Lucy.

They came in and Andre was sitting on a tiny sofa. Lucy's apartment is not as big as Andre's, he deliberately ordered a minimalist one for fear that Lucy would feel uncomfortable living alone in a large place. Lucy makes a cup of hot coffee and puts it on the table.

"Here, eat. I saw it while walking around the city." said Andre while giving a box containing cakes.

"Sir, this is all so good, why did you buy this much?" ask Lucy not to believe it.

"I'll take the spoon. Sir wait here ok." he ordered.

Andre just shook his head looking at the funny behavior that was really like a kid getting his favorite chocolate. Lucy returned with a spoon and a small plate in her hand.

"Why don't you just eat it with your hands?" andre asked, feeling strange.

"This cake seems really good, so I'm going to enjoy it little by little" Lucy said.

"If you like it, I'll buy it again. Eat it, do not have to use it, anyways these cakes are small enough for one hap." said Andre.

Lucy put down her plate and took the cake with her tapered hands. He followed what Andre said, eating the cake with one bite. After the cake entered his mouth, he suddenly cried and made Andre surprised.

"You.... Is there something wrong with the cake? Is that cake not good?" andre asked in panic.

Lucy shook her head quickly and put the die cake in her mouth again. Andre who saw that panicked a little and stopped Lucy's hand.

"Hey you'll choke if you eat like that" Andre said.

"Sir, this is the first time I've eaten such a nice cake. It must be expensive right, I am very grateful to be able to meet with master. I can enjoy a decent life and eat good food." he said.

Andre was silent to the words that came out of Lucy's mouth, he did not expect that the little girl was suffering so much and accepted everything at her young age. Andre stroked Lucy's head gently and tried to calm her down.

"Already, slowly eat it. If you like it, I'll buy it for you often. But promise me, when I buy her again you can't cry ok." said Andre.

Lucy nodded quickly approving of Andre's words. Andre also took another piece and ate it, it is true that this cake tastes good and sweet. Naturally they made a hefty price for a piece of cake. But seeing Lucy eat it voraciously Andre felt grateful for it.

"Enjoy your night, I'll go home" Andre said as he stood up.

"Will you leave so soon? You're even just eating a piece of cake" Lucy said.

"I'll come back later, you can call me if you want me again" Andre said.

"Alright, thank you so much sir." said Lucy a little sad to know Andre was coming home.

Andre approached Lucy and made Lucy close her eyes. Lucy thought that Andre would kiss her, but it turned out that Andre only helped her clean the chocolate that stuck to the edge of her lips.

"You're not a child anymore, why is your meal so messy" Andre said.

Lucy opened her eyes and closed both her lips. He felt very embarrassed to think that Andre would kiss him. Her cheeks were warm and flushed with embarrassment, Lucy just lowered her head.

"I go home, don't sleep too late" Andre said.

Lucy simply nodded her head in agreement with Andre and closed the door after seeing Andre leave.

"Aahhhh what am I doing, I thought if he would kiss me? Owh's stupid.... How will I deal with it tomorrow." cried Lucy while biting her lower lip.

While Andre rushed into the car and upon arrival at the wheel he put his hand as if checking his abnormal heartbeat.

"Owh man, not again. You should be able to control your feelings." murmured Andre while turning on the car and drove away.

Andre recalled the incident when at Lucy's apartment, his heart was really pounding at the reaction of Lucy who closed her eyes.

"What would happen if I really did it, that boy why is it so easy to trust a man he just met? Would he be like that if I hadn't been helping him all this time? Ahhh why do I think about it." murmured Andre a little annoyed.
