Before going to bed, JC took the time to order a bouquet of pink roses for Anna tomorrow morning on a delivery app that he found on the internet. The florist turned out to be located on the main road next to the Northern Light Premiere Hotel where he was staying and was open 24 hours.
Not long after, JC fell asleep in a dreamland that brought him back to meet Annastacia. In his dream, he was chasing and laughing with Anna in a forest under the warm summer sun. His heart seemed so happy to see Anna's smile that was as bright as the blue sky at noon. Until his sweet dream was cut short by the sound of his cellphone's alarm ringing so loudly.
JC groaned in annoyance and sat on the edge of his bed rubbing his eyes which were still heavy from sleepiness. He dragged himself into the bathroom and splashed his body under the cold shower that morning. JC hummed carelessly in his sweet voice, "I want you, Anna ... my beautiful butterfly ... I want to kiss you again and again ... and again."
The memory of the spontaneous kiss in Anna's basement apartment made him crave that kiss and some more touches. Too bad the girl still adheres to the old tradition of not wanting to sleep with just any man, including his handsome self, complained JC in his heart.
After taking a cold shower, JC dried his body and then wore a black t-shirt that tightly wrapped his burly body and casual blue jeans. JC's hotel room doorbell rang. JC rushed to open the door.
"Good morning, Mr. JC, is it true that you ordered this bouquet of pink roses?" asked the flower shop courier he ordered last night.
"Morning too. That's right. Thank you. Here's a tip for you, Boy," answered JC as he handed a $1 to the flower courier because the bouquet was paid for via an online application.
JC looked at the bouquet of pink roses and thought they were very pretty for Anna. A handsome man and a beautiful flower bouquet must succeed in melting a girl's heart, JC thought confidently. He grabbed Anna's car keys from the nightstand and left for Anna's apartment before it was too late and too late.
In her apartment unit, Anna had finished taking a shower and drying her hair. She dressed naturally with loose powder and her favorite strawberry-scented pink lip tint. Anna let her hair down first because all day she would tie her hair while working. Anna stuffed the personal items she wanted to take to the hospital in her navy work backpack.
"Knock knock."
There was a knock on Anna's apartment unit door. Anna thought it might be JC who was supposed to pick her up this morning. She put the backpack on her back and rushed to the door.
"Morning, Beautiful Doctor," said JC hiding his face behind a large bouquet of pink roses, there were 25 blooming roses strung together with white baby breath flowers. Anna received a bouquet of beautiful pink roses with a sweet smile on her face. She thanks JC.
Then JC pursed his lips and furrowed his thick brows at Anna. "I expected something more than a thank you, sweet lady," he said.
"Hahaha ... ouch, what should I give in return for these pretty flowers?" Anna replied while laughing softly looking at JC with a flushed face.
"A kiss maybe ...," said JC, shrugging his shoulders slightly disappointed. While in his heart he said, 'And a hot touch also tempting my mind.'
"Again?" asked Anna, frowning a little scared because she had never been in a relationship before and JC wasn't her boyfriend either.
JC's hands immediately pulled Anna's body so that it pressed against hers and then crushed Anna's lips without any excuse. The strawberry scent and the sweet taste of Anna's lips made him both drunk and hungry.
The sensation of the touch of JC's possessive lips made Anna giddy as if her brain was foggy. Anna's hand gripped JC's shirt on the young man's chest.
They were both gasping for air as they breathed raggedly and their hearts racing in their chests.
"Anna, you're driving me crazy!" said JC as if he couldn't believe what just happened. He had never wanted a woman like this.
"JC...please, we're going too fast. I'm not used to having a relationship with a guy in such an intimate way before. You're confusing me," Anna replied, covering her face with her palms.
"Well, I'm similar to you ... ummm maybe a little different, usually I don't use feelings. Meanwhile, with you, I always feel bad. Let's go now, Anna, I don't want to make you late for work," said JC, putting Anna's hand in his hand.
Anna locked her apartment unit and then walked hand in hand with JC to the elevator to the basement parking of the apartment. They don't talk to each other and look the other way avoiding physical contact.
Before leaving for Wyndham International Hospital, JC invited Anna to have breakfast with him at Chandelier Restaurant. The menu served is delicious as JC said last night.
The smoked beef mozzarella sandwich in Croissant with crispy fries and the Huzzarean salad that Anna ordered were so tempting. JC ordered the same menu as Anna, for him the girl's taste in choosing food was commendable, always delicious.
"Anna, can I take you out to dinner tonight? Erm, I think I'll also play billiards for a while, do you like playing billiards?" asked JC trying to find a chance to see Anna again.
Anna hesitated because she didn't know what her schedule for today would be. The snowy weather makes many traffic accidents which of course keeps her busy and even has to work overtime.
"I'll tell you later Jason, I don't know my schedule for today. I'm sorry ...," answered Anna cupping her palms in front of her chest pleading for JC's understanding.
'Wow... there's a girl who refuses a date from me?! Millions of girls out there are lining up to ask me out! Is she from outside this planet?' JC thought a bit shocked.
Anna glanced at JC's face, which was like a cat choking after swallowing the ball. "Are you all right, Jason?" she asked.
"Listen, Anna, you'd better take your time tonight. Tomorrow I'm leaving North America and flying to California and I honestly don't know when we'll see each other again ...," said JC in confusion.
He hated this situation. When he falls for a girl and can't do anything to stay by her side because of their very different professions. His management would also forbid him from dating a surgeon, it would disturb his popularity. Their love story certainly is blocked by status. How annoying! JC cursed in his heart.
"Jason, I don't think our relationship is going to work out. You're an artist in Hollywood and I'm in a small country in North America. I'm living as a resident of Grenada, a country where even when you open the g****e app you can't read much. We'd better be friends, okay?" said Anna, explaining the gloomy prospects of their relationship smoothly.
Anna's words made JC speechless, is his love just one-sided this time?
After a delicious and filling breakfast, Anna said goodbye to JC to go to work. She drove her own maroon Mini Cooper to Wyndham International Hospital. JC let Anna goes into the lobby of the Northern Light Hotel with a wave. Today is the last day of JC's concert tour. He will be performing at a major mall in Grenada, the event is indoor, fortunately. The winter weather this time was so bad, that it snowed all day long. JC is not sure the concert audience will be as large as usual. Meanwhile, Anna drove her car through the snowy roads carefully. Along the way to the hospital, she saw many cranes operating to move the cars that were stuck due to this severe snow. Anna hopes that today's patients will not overflow due to traffic accidents. Finally, she arrived at the basement parking lot of Wyndham International Hospital, where she worked. Anna came down with a flower bouquet JC gave her and carried her navy backpack. She walked to the elevator to go up to the 3rd floor of her practice
The simple engagement ceremony lasted only a short time because the hospital was very busy. John took Anna to his room for a while, he still wanted to talk privately with his fiancee girl. The two of them took the elevator to the 12th floor, the top floor of the large hospital building. "Are you nervous, Anna?" asked John idly. Anna jumped in place for a moment's thought as the two of them fell silent. "Ehh ... oohh ... not nervous, just still feeling confused. Things are going out of my control," she answered honestly. The two of them went into John's spacious office because it was also the CEO's room of Wyndham International Hospital. John picked up a palm-sized box lined with dark blue velvet. He approached Annastacia saying, "Anna, I want to give you this." "What is it, John?" asked Anna curiously, examining the box in John's hand. John opened the box which turned out to contain a pair of gold chain necklaces with heart pendants. Then John's hands deftly opened the heart locke
Wyndham International Hospital cafeteria that afternoon was full of doctors who practice at the hospital. For Anna, who was often late for lunch, and even missed lunch, it was an unusual sight. John invited Anna to sit at one of the empty tables in the corner of the room. The two of them waited for the menu orders to be delivered to their table. "Hey, you guys ... congratulations on your engagement this morning," said Doctor Isaac Beneton, a neurosurgeon at the hospital. Anna and John stood up to accept their colleague's warm handshake and hug. "Thanks, Doc," said Anna. The doctors who were sitting at the table with Doctor Isaac also gave their congratulations to Anna and John. When their lunch menu came, they ended the pleasantries and returned to their seats. "Anna, are you comfortable with this sudden change in status?" asked John as he ate his food. Anna chewed on her beefsteak as she said, "To be honest ... no, I wish we could still work professionally. My job is still the t
Before starting the operation to open the thoracoabdominal cavity, Doctor Annastacia checked the patient's vital condition, an oxygen mask was attached to Ian's nose. After making sure that the general condition of the body is stable enough, she begins the opening of the thoracoabdominal cavity with a neat layer-by-layer incision because later she will sew it up again. The surgical resident who accompanied Anna in the late afternoon was the young doctor Joshua Kremlin, intelligent and agile. He helped Anna secure the layers that were opened by Anna with Allis forceps while continuing to follow every process executed by Doctor Annastacia, his senior. The tear in the diaphragm that separates the chest and abdominal cavities was discovered by Anna. It was about 3 cm in diameter, Anna immediately closed the hole with a neat stitch of micro thread. She checked with the light in her head for any other abnormal openings in the diaphragm. Turns out it wasn't there anymore, so Anna decided t
At 08.00 PM when Anna was about to leave JC's treatment room, the artist's manager, Max Brury came into the room. "Aahh Doctor Annastacia, how is JC's condition?" He greeted as he shook hands with Anna. "Well Jason's been awake for a while, but still can't eat until tomorrow at 8:00 AM. Please don't feed him Mr. Brury. Make sure he doesn't move much or walk around. I hope the wound won't leave a bad mark. Ointment for the suture scars is on the nightstand, they must be applied 3 times a day," answered Anna professionally. "Max, it seems like Anna likes to torture her patients," said JC, chuckling on the bed still on his stomach. "That's my hobby, Jason! It's getting late, Gentlemen. I'm going home now. See you tomorrow!" Anna said with a laugh and then left the JC treatment room. Anna took the elevator to the 3rd floor of her practice and took her bag and personal belongings. She left her room and locked it from the outside. The 3rd-floor corridor was deserted because practice ho
In the morning, Doctor Annastacia visited her postoperative patients one by one. She had surgery every day and rarely took a day off, so her morning visits were very long. JC was the last patient she had to visit out of a total of 12 old and new patients. The surgical co-assistant apprentice followed closely behind her to record the postoperative condition status. When they arrived at JC's treatment room, they were suddenly excited to see the handsome pop star. Meanwhile, JC just smiled as he faced his fans normally. He still had to lie face down in the patient bed as Anna ordered. It was quite torturous because it was very boring and made part of his body sore and stiff. "Good morning, Jason. You seem to have a lot of fans for aspiring doctors," Anna greeted cheerfully. JC chuckled in response to Anna's words. "Morning, Anna. That's right, that's why I was surprised to know you didn't recognize me. You're too serious about your job, Anna," JC replied. Without wasting time, Doctor
From day to day Anna seems to be avoiding JC even more. Since Jeanette Knightley's visit to JC's treatment room, the girl seemed to have built a thick wall between herself and JC. Doctor Annastacia visited that popstar in the morning in JC's treatment room. However, it only lasted a short time without a conversation outside of the patient's condition history with the doctor. JC's request for Anna to visit him every afternoon was never done either. By the seventh postoperative day, the stitches on JC's back were dry and closed. Now the young man can sit at the head of the patient's bed, he doesn't have to lie on his stomach anymore. That morning, Anna did her morning patient visit because the young doctor's apprentices were changing clerkship. The hospital was very busy so Anna didn't ask the nurse to accompany her to visit the post-surgery treatment rooms. "Good morning, Jason. How are you?" said Doctor Annastacia while holding the data file board on the patient's recovery progress
Max Brury, manager of JC felt the change in the temperament of his artist. Previously, JC was always cheerful and enthusiastic about all his activities. However, lately, he seems to be moody and tends to be introverted. Finally, Max Brury tried to get JC to talk heart to heart to lighten the burden on the young man's heart. "Boy, tell me the truth, what's bothering you?" Max said as he puffed his cigarette smoke. JC also smokes with Max, he recently really likes to smoke alone to relieve the pain in his heart due to the end of his love story with the beautiful surgeon from Grenada. "I like Annastacia, Max. The surgeon who treated me after the accident. Unfortunately, she's engaged, she turned me down," said JC glumly. Hearing JC's story, Max was silent. JC's position as a top idol in all of America is very difficult if you want to have a relationship with an ordinary girl. His career will be at stake, most of JC's fans who are women of course will have an antipathy to Annastacia an
