"Oscar please don't be weird! I...

"

The unfinished sentence was cut short by a kiss from Oscar. The man laid Lisa on the bed while fixing their uncomfortable position. Surprisingly, neither her body nor her conscious mind refused the kiss from the tall, slender man. Without Lisa noticing, her hand gently stroked Oscar's blonde curls.

'What kind of impulse is this? I don't feel like I'm being forced even though I'm really tired!?' Lisa asked herself in her mind.

Their bodies were curled into each other. In the midst of their hot kiss, Lisa turned her face away from Oscar, taking off the kiss.

"Oscar, it's not that I don't want to but... I still have to go to the office tomorrow morning,

" she said when she remembered that she still had a workday.

"I don't want to wake up late because I'm too tired. So please, let's not do it tonight, okay? Please?

" Lisa asked with a pleading and earnest look.

The man stopped, he looked at Lisa for a moment then got up. His hands were still holding her seductive curves. Oscar regained his consciousness and then said,

"I'm sorry, Lisa.

"

He then released Lisa from his grasp and sat on the edge of the bed, sighing deeply. Lisa approached him then rubbed his wide back gently.

"Tomorrow night, I promise you. Let's do it tomorrow night, okay?

" She said softly in Oscar's ear.

The man turned his head, looked into Lisa's eyes intently, making sure that her promise wouldn't just turn into empty words.

"I'm waiting for tomorrow night after work,

"

The next day, Lisa went to the office using an online motorcycle taxi. Early in the morning, Oscar had left her boarding house with some food for her breakfast. The man returned to his office earlier than her, and returned to Lisa's boarding house earlier as well.

Every time Lisa came home from work, the man always waited for her. Sometimes, there were days when Lisa was very tired and wanted to go straight to dreamland, but the man urged her to make love. Recently, their activities ended with a ritual of making love, which ended up draining all of Lisa's energy.

However, it was very difficult for Lisa to refuse her ex-husband's invitation to make love. No matter how tired she was, that guy always managed to persuade her to make love all night.

Lisa did not want to make Oscar disappointed and sad by refusing his invitation, but if they continued like this in the next week, Lisa could fall ill due to lack of rest. Not to mention her workload in the office was heavy because one of her co-workers at the finance department had just resigned.

On the fourth day after they started to live together in a rickety boarding house, Lisa finally decided to temporarily stay at Andien's apartment to avoid Oscar. Actually, she could not bear to be away from him, but her weakness towards her ex-husband forced her to do it.

"Oscar, I'm going to stay at Andien's apartment for a few days, okay? Her parents just had an accident, she needs my help,

" Lisa lied to her ex-husband.

"How long will you be staying there?

" Oscar asked dryly. His eyes were fixed on Lisa's face.

"I don't know for sure, but I promise I'll call you every night,

" She replied. This time, she was determined to call Oscar so that he would not be suspicious and lonely when Lisa was not there.

"All right, be careful. Send my regards to Andien,

" Oscar replied softly.

On arrival at Andien's apartment, as usual, Lisa was greeted by two adorable British Shorthair cats. The black cats immediately rubbed their heads against Lisa's feet indulgently.

"Welcome again to the hut of suffering, Lisa,

" Andien said jokingly. The woman spread her arms to hug her. As usual, her face was always cheerful and radiant. Lisa immediately hugged her friend then put her suitcase in the corner of the room.

"Crazy, you still don't want to move out from here even after you have enough saving!

" Lisa said, looking around the room. The apartment had not changed too much. At most, only the decoration on the wall which was once only a photo of Andien's family changed. Now it had 5 frames of Andien's photo when she was a child.

"So, you deliberately lied to your new boyfriend because you didn't have the courage to refuse his temptation?

" Andien asked casually. She dropped on the bed and turned her face to Lisa who was sitting on the dining chair.

"I didn't lie, I'm just a good talker that's all. I don't want any fight, Oscar's getting harder to read, so regardless whether I want it or not, I have to use a strategy like this!

" Lisa replied, rolling her eyes.

Andien frowned.

"Hold up, are you really Lisa? Why didn't you dare to speak to him? Hah! Not really Lisa, aren't you!

"

"That's not the problem, I'm confused what to do. I know Oscar's ugly nature, he's short tempered and... he has a bad moodswing. If I refuse him then he will...

"

Andien cut Lisa's unresolved sentence by saying,

"Who told you to go back to your ex-husband? What's the point in divorcing him then? It's not that you're all happy about it, you have to move on,

"

"Yes, I understand your point, but love makes us blind, you know? Who could have guessed if I would actually want to go back with him? In fact, I still love my ex-husband,

" Lisa said, holding back her embarrassment.

"So when do you want to avoid your ex-husband? Careful, he might get jealous and he's going to explode again haha!

" Andien turned her body and then looked at Lisa with a mischievous look.

Lisa threw the paper that was on the dining table at Andien from where she was sitting. But her friend immediately brushed off the paper.

"Hey! I'm just kidding!

"

"I don't know. Anyway, I want to gather my soul and body together first and then come back. Originally, I still don't have the courage to say 'no' every time Oscar asks for it,

" Lisa said with a deep sigh.

It was almost a week since she hadn't come home to her boarding house. After work, Lisa always returned to Andien's apartment and had dinner with her best friend. Until now, Lisa still didn't have the courage to go back to her boarding house from time to time Oscar stopped by and asked for sex.

That night, Andien and Lisa were enjoying dinner together at the apartment. While accompanied by two packs of fried rice and sweet iced tea, the two of them chatted and gossiped.

"Lis, I heard that your office is no longer cooperating with your ex-husband's company,

" Andien said casually.

"Huh, are you serious?

" Lisa was surprised to hear Andien's sentence just now. Her mind started wandering everywhere. Were Oscar and Rangga arguing over her so that they both cut off their business?

Lisa's expression was not calm at all.

"Is this all because of me?

"

"Don't worry about it too much. There could be internal problems between companies. Not everything has to be your fault! You have nothing to do with their company,

" Andien said, trying to calm Lisa's upset heart.

***

The clock showed 9 pm. Lisa still couldn't sleep peacefully because of the bad news from Andien. She felt guilty about it, Oscar and Rangga's relationship was deterred. All night long, she thought only of Oscar and then remembered her promise to him.

Lisa grabbed her cell phone from her bag and made a call.

"Hello? Oscar, are you still awake?

" She asked when the call was picked up.

"Ah, it turns out you kept your promise,

" Oscar replied from across.

"So when will you come back to the boarding house?

" He continued. The man's voice sounded very sexy.

"Um... I can't say right now, Andien still needs my help. I can't leave my friend when she's in need...

" Lisa lied.

The voice from across the phone was silent for a while then the man said,

"Oh, so you were playing around in your best friend's apartment and forgetting me?

"
