Chapter Two

Siara couldn't stop smiling since she woke up this morning. She felt nervous as she waited Jonathan for joining on her activities today. But she felt doubt as well. What if the man never came? Or worse what if he forgot their second meeting because Jonathan found someone else to entertained him in bed?

The message from his mouth was clear yesterday. He doesn't want to rushed everything in their relationship. So whatever bad thought she had right now, it's not gonna happened between her and Jonathan.

She took a look of her watch on the wrist. Just ten minutes more till nine o'clock. She was really anxious right now. She really wanted to meet Jonathan again as soon as possible. Then Siara told Bianca and Octav, whose in the same room with her, she was going to the lobby hotel first to made sure Jonathan saw her the moment he enter. Siara got into the elevator and push the G button. Indicating she's going to the lobby. The moment she stepped outside the elevator, her breath seemed came to halt.

She saw him.

The man who bought her margarita yesterday. He looked up from his phone. When his jade eyes captured hers, he smiled widely. With his long legs, it only took a few steps to close the distance between them.

"Good morning, Siara." Jonathan greeted her with his deep and husky voice.

She looked dumbfounded by his presence. Jonathan snap his finger in front of her face. Made her back to reality.

"You okay?" Jonathan asked, the man sound concern.

Siara nodded her head, "Yeah, it's just I couldn't believe you remember our deal yesterday. I thought you wouldn't come."

"Why would you think like that? I've been waiting for this morning to come and meet you soon. You don't know how much I think about you last night." Jonathan said.

Siara blushed by the way Jonathan said those words. It felt like what he said was true from his heart. Then she felt his fingers caressing her pink cheek because of the blush on she applied. She's savored the moment as she closed her eyes. Jonathan picked her strand of hair and he put it behind her ear, smiled to her when she opened her eyes again.

"You're so cute and yet so beautiful when you were blushing, Siara." Jonathan exclaimed.

"Thank you." She answered him.

Then they heard the elevator dinged and came out Bianca along with her boyfriend. Siara introduced them to Jonathan. After they got to know each other, Jonathan offered Siara to came with him to his car. The purpose was clear, so they have some time alone. Bianca agreed with the situation, answering on behalf of Siara. Soon, her best friend left her with Jonathan to picked up their rental car from the valet. Jonathan gave out his hand and Siara took it. The man guided her to his sleek and elegant Mercedes, made Siara breathless. There was already a driver standing outside passenger door for them. The driver opened the door. As on cue, Siara got in to the car before she said 'thank you' to the driver.

Jonathan took a seat beside her. He took Siara's hand then kissed it. Siara blushed by the action.

"So, where to my lady?" Jonathan asked.

"Um, first we're going to Uluwatu temple." She answered.

Jonathan averted his gaze to his driver, "George, you heard the lady."

"Yes, sir." George replied. Then Siara felt the car start moving, leaving the hotel.

"So," Heard his voice, Siara looked at Jonathan again, "What's the itinerary for today?"

Siara made a face like she was thinking, "After we're going to the temple, we're gonna having fun on the beach nearby then watch sunset from Tanah Lot, having dinner..." She trailed off.

"Then?" Jonathan raised his eyebrows, waited her answer.

"Then, I guess just having drinks till midnight."

"Ah, yes!" He like remembered something, "Your birthday, right?"

Siara cast a sad smile, "Yeah, but I just want to having fun in here. Have a nice holiday. Whether it's my birthday or not, I just wanna make a good memories."

"Well, I can give you that." Jonathan said with a small smile.

"Yeah? Can you give me an example?"

Jonathan cast a seductive smile to her. Then he leaned forward to her, closing the distance. Before she could say something, Jonathan landed his lips on hers. Even though it was only a peck, Jonathan could taste the sweet of Siara's lips. She stunned for a while. Siara never thought that Jonathan would kiss her. A stranger just kissed her lips, in front of his driver too. She took a glance of Jonathan's driver, George, to saw if he knows it or not.

"Don't worry," Jonathan voice out, "He won't tell a thing."

They just stared at each other until Siara heard Jonathan curse, "Screw this."

He crashed his lips on hers, hard. Instantly, his big, rough hand cupped Siara's cheek. Made her couldn't go elsewhere but to respond his kiss. She could felt the soft lips of Jonathan. He bit lightly on her lower lip, Siara gasped. Her opened mouth like a signal that Jonathan gladly entered his tongue to her mouth. Explored and savored her sweetness. Their kiss now turned to heat making out. Jonathan pulled away, left both of them breathless from their hot kiss. He looked on her with so much lust in his eyes.

"If I don't stop now, I might take you in here, right now." He said with determined tone. "Even with George watching us, I don't care."

The words made Siara gasped, blushed and looked away. Jonathan smiled because of her reaction. Even though he just met her yesterday, he already found her cute when she blushed. The cuteness in her made him try harder to kept his hands to himself. Jonathan went back straighten his sit but still not letting go Siara's hand.

The ride to Uluwatu Temple was actually nice for Siara. She and Jonathan both had light conversation, getting know each other. She learned that Jonathan basically owned company in London but he wasn't a British man. He was born and raised in America. But since his grandfather died along with his father on car crashed, he inherited the company and the wealth as well, which made him billionaire. He was gone back and forth London - Bali for his work. Jonathan told Siara that he was invested much of his money to some hotels so they could rebuild it again. His intention was true, he just wanted to help, or so Siara thought.

When they arrived in Uluwatu Temple, Siara felt mesmerized by the scenery. The cliff and the ocean was perfect for each other. She stand on the edge, took in everything in her eyes. Then she felt hands snake into her stomach, close to her breast. Siara took a deep breath. She knows whose hands was that. Her back was pressed to Jonathan's hard rock chest. Since she met him, he has done nothing but sweet to her.

As the days goes by, they were had so much fun. The two couples had been getting know each other well. Mainly, Siara and Jonathan. It's now ten o'clock in the night. They were passed the time with countless beers and jokes. When time strikes just ten minute left before midnight, Jonathan excuse himself for a moment. Little did Siara knows, Jonathan was going to give her birthday surprise. He already told George to fetch him a very nice and delicious cake, just for her. He even told Bianca, Siara's best friend, she doesn't need to did anything but made her happy to embrace her precious day.

"Happy birthday, girlfriend!!" Bianca shouted happily then ran to hug Siara.

"Thank you, B! Thank you for coming with me here." She hugged her back.

"You know I'll do anything for you, S."

"Happy birthday, Siara." Now it's Octav turn to hug her.

"Thank you for you too, okay?" Siara released her embrace from Octav.

"Siara."

A husky, deep voice called her name from behind. She turned her head back and gasped as she saw Jonathan carried a whole chocolate cake with twenty six candles in it. She forced back tears in her eyes because of Jonathan's surprise. He was too sweet for her. Too sweet for just wanted her body in his bed. But right now, she doesn't care.

"Happy birthday, Siara. I hope you like this surprise." Jonathan said.

"Like? I love it, Jonathan, thank you so much. You don't have to do this for me. We just met yesterday, you know that aren't you?"

Jonathan cast a small smile, "But we're meant for each other right?"

Siara couldn't help but blush, "I guess so."

"Blow the candles, love."

She did as she told. Then they spent another hour drank and ate the cake Jonathan brought. As the first hour of her birthday goes off, they decided to went back to the Hotel. Siara felt content and happy. She surrounded by people who actually loves her, unlike Julian who just dumped her like that.

She saw Bianca and Octav went to the elevator first. Then she turned her body to face Jonathan. He has been nice and care to her. Even he dropped her off to her hotel lobby like they were on a date. Siara smiled to him.

"Thank you, Jonathan, for everything." Siara said.

"It's okay. You know I'll do anything for the lady." He grinned to her.

"Well, I guess this is the end for us. I'm going back to Jakarta tomorrow evening."

Jonathan doesn't say anything to her. He just stared at her, made her confused. He still held her hand tight, never wanted to let her go. He doesn't know what was the feeling he has but he couldn't let her go, not just yet. He wanted her that for damn sure.

"Jonathan?" She called him out.

He still doesn't answer her. But he made his next move. He gripped Siara's hand tightly then walked to the receptionist.

"Good night sir, welcome to Karma Kandara. How may I help you?" The receptionist greeted him.

"Do you still have available room?" Jonathan asked. Siara's eyes went wide.

"Let me just check a moment please." The receptionist answered.

"Jonathan, what are you doing?"

He still not answering Siara. She was frustrated. His eyes were glued to the receptionist in front of him.

"I guess it's your lucky day, sir. We still have one room left. You want to check in now?" The receptionist asked.

"Yes. Credit card's good?"

"Of course, sir."

With one his free hand, he began to search his credit card through his wallet. Then he gave it to the receptionist. After made through with the administration, he looked to Siara. Without said anything, he knows what she was going to ask. It was all written in her confused face.

"Stay with me, Siara."
