Rachel was talking to Lean and Ana, her teammate, about some new ice cream flavours at their favourite ice cream store 3 blocks away from their office. Sometimes they went there together at lunch break or after work to enjoy ice cream together.

“Terus yang enak menurut kalian yang rasa apa? Coba rekomendasiin dong.” Rachel asked Ana and Lean that had come the the shop earlier. Rachel got no time yet to visit the store. “Tadi gue nyobain yang rasa Salted Caramel enak kok. Tapi tadi gue cuma beli yg pake cone. Menyesaaallll! Padahal enak banget!” Ana showed sad face. “Klo gue tadi nyobain Mint Chocolate Kak, enaaakkk.” Lean grinned, showed her teeth. “Eewww...toothpaste.” Rachel frowned. She did not like that flavour because it tasted so much like toothpaste. “Lean emang suka yang aneh-aneh Hel ha...ha...ha...” Ana and Rachel laughed together. “Huh kalian tuh yang aneh masa ga suka. Padahal kan enak tau seger gitu.” Ana schrunched her nose. “Ih lo aja sana.” Lean furrowed her eyebrows. “Terus ajaaa berantem.” Rachel scolded both Lean and Ana.

John

Chat notification popped up on Rachel's phone. It was Johnny and she immediately checked it. He asked to picked her up earlier than was promised. She was okay with that though. Previously, he said he would go to his friend's place first to take some office stuffs but his friends brought those stuffs today so he did not need to go to his friend's house tomorrow.

They planned to go to the beach tomorrow. It was not theirs actually, it was Johnny's idea. He liked beach. He liked went there either alone or with his friends. After he met Rachel, sometimes he went there with her.

Johnny said he could left office earlier. So Rachel asked him to pick her up and told him that she craved for Ice Cream. Johnny agreed with that and would pick her up later.

Rachel smiled widely after she received Johnny's texts. “Cengar-cengir aja lo.” Ana said to Rachel. “Johnny pasti nih.” “He...he...he... Iya, gue minta anterin ke tempat es krim.” “Wooo...langsung meluncur yaaa.” “Iya doong mumpung dia bisa pulang cepet.” Rachel grinned.

“Aku mau yang Salted Caramel, kamu mau yang mana?” Johnny asked Rachel. “Matcha aja deh.” Rachel said. “Oke aku pesen dulu ya. Tunggu sini.” “Oke bos.” She said and showed okay gesture. Johnny went to the counter to order.

Few minutes later, Johnny back with 2 ice creams in his hands. 1 was in a cone and the other one was in a cup. He handed the one was in a cup to Rachel. “Thank you.” Rachel said to him.

They enjoyed the ice cream while chit-chat(ing). Sometimes Johnny ate her ice cream too. He ate Rachel's ice cream more than she did.

“Babe, pulang yuk. Aku ngantuk masa.” Rachel said to Johnny. “Wah... Jangan-jangan es krimnya ada obat tidurnya.” “Ih apa sih ga jelas deh.” “Ya kan siapa tau.” He just finished his ice cream. “Aku emang ngantuk dari tadi tau gara-gara mesti dateng lebih pagi. Soalnya big boss dateng dari Manchester.” “Ada apa? Kok tiba-tiba dateng?” “Ga tiba-tiba sih. Udah dikasih tau dari 3 hari yang lalu tapi kalo ada Beliau ya mesti siap-siap ini itu. Ini tuh ada hubungannya sama proyek aku yang ketunda itu. Udah yuk ah, ngantuk.” “Yaudah ayo pulang.”

They both left the store and headed to Rachel's apartment. After 30 minutes, they arrived in front of Rachel's apartment complex.

“Sini aja ya, kan besok juga kesini lagi.” “Gapapa? Gamau aku anter sampe atas?” “Gausah gapapa.” “Yaudah kalo gitu.” “Kamu hati-hati di jalan. Kalo udah sampe kabarin.” “Will do.” Rachel hugged Johnny and kissed him. “Bye Sayang.” “Dadaahh.” Rachel got out from Johnny's car and waved hand at him. Johnny left, Rachel headed to her unit.

They arrived at Rachel's apartment. Johnny bought 3 cans of beer as a reliever after much works he done past month. Johnny bought them was for him to have a drink with Rachel but as she was a light drinker, so she decided not to drink. She just wanted to accompany Johnny. Maybe they could have some 'talks'.

They both had changed into PJ. Johnny had extra shirts and PJ at Rachel's. They sat on the floor at Rachel's living room and having a talk while drinking, it was only Johnny. Rachel drank a cup of tea, mint tea.

They talked about everything. Work, current issues, their friend, favourite tv series, coffee (this is their favourite topic), their relationship, how they missed each other, etc.

“Maybe we should, you know, do something about 'it'.” Johnny said. “Like what?” “C'mon Babe, you know what I meant.” “I know. But later okay?” She kissed him lightly on the cheek. “Sibuk banget sih...” “Sabar.” Johnny grabbed Rachel's waist from behind and kissed her neck. “John bentar aku lagi bales chat Ana.” “She can wait, I can't.” “You're drunk.” “Nope.”

Johnny took Rachel's mobile, turned it off and put it somewhere. He kissed her hard and passionately. “You know that I missed you, right?” Johnny whispered to Rachel and then bite her earlobe. Rachel was unable to answer verbally. She just nodded. Johnny smiled then attacked her again.

She was intoxicated with all Johnny's touch and love. The feeling of longing made them thirsty for each other. Johnny was still kissing her face, neck downward to her shoulder, and back to her lips. They both could not handle their desire. Then the air was full of love and lust.

**********

Unlike Rachel who had her work lessen since the project she worked for has been pending because of the 'things' happened here and there, Johnny was so busy with his upcoming project.

These past two days was so hectic for Johnny. He worked overtime and was hard to contact. Johnny barely held his phone at work.

Rachel missed him so much. After she finished some of her works, she tried to chat him but there was no reply from Johnny. She really wanted to call but she knew that it would disturb him. A few minutes later, a notification popped up.

John

She replied the chat and then Johnny sent her his selfie. He looked so tired despite his cute message. He has not yet had his lunch and the time shown it was almost 3PM. Rachel was so worried that he might get sick because lately he always worked overtime for almost a week.

But thank God, today was finishing day for his upcoming project until the big day so tomorrow he would not do that much work. It meant that tonight they could meet after work.

It was 17.35 when Rachel's phone ringing.

John

“Halo sayang.” “Hi sayang. Udah mau pulang?” “Udah nih. Kamu udah pulang?” “Aku di bawah.” “Di bawah?” “Di parkiran kantor kamu.” “Lah kok? Kenapa ga bilang mau jemput? Emang ga lembur?” “Surprise! Udah selesai ga ada lembur hari ini.” “Yeeaaayyy akhirnya yaa he...he... Terus kebetulan aku juga ga bawa mobil juga.” “Kebetulan dong kalo gitu. Yaudah cepet turun sini.” “Iyaaa aku turun sekarang. Tunggu yaa.” “Okay, bye.”

Rachel left her desk and headed towards ground floor by elevator. She was on level 30 of the building. After she reached the ground floor, she rushed to the visitor parking lot beside the building.

She could see Johnny was leaning to his car while playing his mobile phone. It made Rachel smile just by seeing his appearance. Johnny has not yet realized she was coming at him.

“Jooooohhhnnn.” She grinned. Johnny raised his head and looked at Rachel's direction. He also grinned and opened his arms. Rachel fastened her steps and then hugged Johnny. “Baby, I missed you.” Johnny said while hugged and kissed her top of her head. “I miss you too big bear.” Still hugging him. Johnny let go of his arms and cupped Rachel's face then kissed her lips. Smoothly. “John...not...here...” Rachel said in between the kisses. “Tapi aku masih kangen.” “Iya tapi ga di tempat umum gini.” “Berati kalo di tempat kamu boleh ya.” “Iyaaa... Makan yuk. Aku laper.” “Mau makan di mana?” “JIGEUM?” “Boleh, yuk.”

They both got into Johnny's car. Then Johnny drove the car to their favourite restaurant. “Mobil kamu kenapa?” “Gapapa. Lagi males bawa aja. Lagian bawaan aku hari ga banyak kok ke kantor.” “Naik apa tadi?” “Taksi.” “Hmmm...” Still focus on driving. “Kamu beneran udah beres semua kerjaannya?” “Iya udah tinggal review aja palingan. Ya 95 persen bereslah, thank God.” “Bagus deh kamu butuh istirahat tuh. Muka lesu gitu, mata kuyu, telat makan. Tadi makan ga?” “Makan kok. Aku makan sushi tadi Bang Taeil kebetulan pesan makanan di resto Jepang.” “Yaudah nanti makan yang banyak ya.” “Iya sayang.”

**********

It was another not-so-busy weekend for both Rachel and Johnny. Eventually they made time for themselves. They had a plan that they would spend this weekend together without work interuption. They would have movie date like a couple spent their weekend in general and then, maybe just maybe, cuddling at home.

Rachel was waiting for Johnny to pick her up in front of her apartment. After more or less than 10 minutes, he arrived then Rachel got into the car. “Tadi macet? Kok lama?” “Engga kok. Aku mampir ke Sbux dulu. Aku beliin Green Tea Latte tuh.” “Asiikkk...makasiiih.” Rachel reached took the cup of her Green Tea Latte and drank it. “Kita tuh nonton yang jam berapa sih? Aku lupa deh.” “Jam 14.30 kalo ga salah. Bentar aku cek dulu.” Rachel took out her phone to check the movie schedule. “Jam 15.00 deh. Sekarang jam 13.30, masih lama.” “Paling kita sampe jam 2.00-an nih. Mau ngapain dulu?” “Jajan?” “Jajan apa?” “Cemilan.” “Buat nonton? Nanti aja itu mah beli di bioskopnya.” “Bukan Sayaaaang...maksud aku jajan nyemil dulu. Emang kamu ga laper apa?” “Kan tadi aku udah makan. Kamu juga kan udah makan, laper lagi sekarang?” “Iya he...he...” Johnny giggled and shaked his head in disbelief. He knew that Rachel has a big appetite but he always surprised everytime. “Mau makan besar apa nyemil aja?” Johnny asked. “Nyemil aja boleh ya?” “Yes Ma'am.” “Kamu semalem lembur bareng Jeffrey?” “Iya, pokoknya satu tim gitu. Jeffrey, Yuta, Bang Taeil, Taeyong, Doyoung sama ada 3 lagi anak magang.” “Loh? Anak magang bisa ikut project juga?” Rachel asked while chewing jelly that she brought with her. “Iya soalnya kurang orang banget tim aku untuk project ini.” “Enak banget aku juga butuh tenaga tambahan tapi karena masih tahap perencanaan jadinya masih tim inti aja. Mudah-mudahan nanti boleh tambah orang lagi.” She chewed some more jellies and feed some to Johnny.

A few minutes later they arrived at one of the malls in the city. After parked, they walked into the mall entrance from the parking lot. “Kita mau cetak tiketnya dulu apa kamu mau nyemil dulu?” “Hmm...cetak tiket dulu deh.” Then they entered the elevator that connects the parking lot level to their destination level.

They entered the cinema then printed the tickets. “Aku boleh makan burger ga?” “Boleh... Burger apa?” “Itu aja yang di depan biar ga jauh.” “Yaudah ayo.” They left the self-service ticket printing counter and then headed to the fast-food restaurant that Rachel chose.

Johnny was the one who ordered the foods and Rachel looked for an empty table. A few moments later, the foods arrived. They bought two burgers. A big one for Rachel and regular size was Johnny's. They also bought 3 packs of french fries. They enjoyed the foods together while chit-chat.

It was 14.50, they have finished their foods, but mostly by Rachel. “Kenyang ga? Mau beli cemilan lagi?” “Kenyang kok aku.” “Burger ukuran besar sama kentang 2 bungkus kalo ga kenyang aku bawa ke dokter. Mau cek apa ada monsternya itu perut.” Johnny giggled. “Enak ajaaa!” She frowned, Johnny laughed. “Yaudah ayo nanti telat.” Johnny stood up and offered his hand to Rachel. Rachel took his hand and stood up then they headed to the cinema.

“Rise and Shine my beloved Johnny? Did you find my shoulder comfortable enough?” Rachel whispered to Johnny ear when he lifted up his head. The movie ended already and the light was up. “Maaf ya aku ketiduran.” Johnny stroked Rachel's hair to her shoulder. “Pegel ga pundak kamu?” “Engga kok. Udah yuk kita keluar.” They left the studio and walked out of the cinema. “Mau langsung pulang aja?” Rachel asked. “Ngopi dulu yuk?” “Tadi siang kan udah.” “Mau lagi.” “Ngantuk malah minum kopi, bukannya tidur.” “But I crave for coffee, baby.” “Yeah, whatever.”

They went to a coffee shop and ordered one Iced Americano for Johnny and Iced Mocha for Rachel. They chose to sit at the outdoor tables. “Kan nguap terus. Udah ayo pulang deh.” Rachel said. “Aku masih mau di luar, bosen di rumah terus.” Johnny replied. “Terserah... Nanti klo masih ngantuk aku aja yang nyetir ya.” “Iyaaa...”

Johnny yawned and stretched his body and Rachel took a photo secretly when he was doing that. “You cute!” Rachel grinned. “What?” “You.” Rachel showed him his photo. “How? Don't you dare upload that.” “This is for me to adore and for people to never find out. Unless...” Rachel put her phone inside her bag. “What?” He raised his eyebrows. “Nothing.” She shrugged. “Kamu ya...” He squinted his eyes and scrunched his nose.

They stayed there for an hour then decided to go home. Rachel insisted to drive them home. They also decided to have their dinner delivered to Johnny's apartment because tonight Rachel would sleep over at Johnny's place.

**********

The last 3 weeks was a hell for Rachel. She was so busy with the big project that she led. She barely got enough time to sleep, eat and not to mention meeting Johnny. It was weekend but she still had to work because there were some changes here and there.

She was scrolling the file on her computer when a notification popped up. It was Johnny, telling her that he was already on the way to her apartment. She was okay with him being in her place while she was working but she just would feel guilty to abandon him.

But Johnny was being a Johnny. He just wanted to be with Rachel though he knew that Rachel would ignore him. But he promised not to disturb him unless she wanted to be 'disturb'.

Rachel's door bell rang. She walked to the monitor and to check and there he was, Johnny was smiling to the camera. Rachel laughed and opened the door.

“Hey bub...” Johnny kissed Rachel's lips then hugged her tightly. Rachel burried her face into Johnny chest. “I miss you.” Johnny said while kissing Rachel's top of head. “Maaf ya akhir-akhir ini aku ga punya waktu buat ketemu.” “It's okay, I got it. Masih banyak kerjaannya?” “Masih. Aku mesti review beberapa dokumen lagi.” They walked to the living room where Rachel worked. “Okay.” Johnny saw those piles of documents, her laptop, tablet, cups, snack wrappers, blanket, etc. “Maaf berantakan aku ga sempet beresin.” “Iya gapapa. Aku boleh duduk di mana biar ga ganggu kamu?” “Di mana aja terserah. Kalo kamu mau tidur lagi juga boleh di kamar aku.” “Ah tidur di kamar kamu ga ada kamunya ga enak.” “John...” “He...he...he...” “Aku kerja lagi ya? Kalo butuh apa-apa bilang aja.” “Kalo aku butuh peluk kamu gimana? Kan masih kangen.” “Yaudah sini cepet.” Rachel opened her arms and Johnny walked to her, giggling. “2 menit, please.” “Apanya?” “Pelukannya.” “Iyaaaaa...”

After that, Rachel was back to work while Johnny sat around the corner to watch her work, doing his things and tried not to disturb her.

**********

Yesterday, Johnny left early from work because he felt nausea. He didn't come to office today because he was still feeling sick. Rachel couldn't accompany him because she needed to work overtime for the upcoming big project. She just sent him foods to make sure he did not eat instant food while being sick.

Johnny was watching tv when Rachel called him. “Hello?” “John, foods come yet?” “What food?” “I ordered some foods for you.” “Hey you don't need to do that.” “Gausah bawel. Nanti klo udah dateng langsung makan aja.” “Yes Ma'am. Kamu lagi apa?” “Lagi telepon kamu.” “Yaahhh kucing tetangga juga tau kamu lagi telepon aku.” Rachel laughed. “Lagi coffee break nih 10 menitan. Makanya aku bisa telepon. Tadi waktu pesen makanannya juga ngumpet-ngumpet he...he...” She ordered the foods through an food delivery application. “Kalo lagi kerja fokus heh.” “Mana bisa fokus, kepikiran kamu. Cepet sembuh makanya.” “Should I be sick all the time so I can be on your mind 24/7?” “Ga usah ngomong sembarangan deh.” “Hiihh...galak banget Ibu Rachela.” Johnny's door bell rang. “Bentar, aku buka pintu dulu. Ada yang pencet bel.” “Makanannya udah sampe kayaknya.” “Kayaknya gitu, bentar ya sayang.”

Johnny walked to the monitor to check who was on his front door. Seemed like he was the delivery man. He opened the door and received the foods. “Terima kasih.” Johnny said to the delivery man then closed the door. He showed the packages of the food to Rachel. “Receeeiiiiived!” “Yaudah makan sana. Make sure you eat all of the foods and your medicine.” “Iya Ibu, baik.” “Awas ya kalo ga dimakan. Terus istirahat jangan main game. Jangan minum kopi dulu.” “Iya sayaaang...” “Yaudah waktu break aku udah mau selesai. Nanti aku telepon lagi.” “Iyaa aku tunggu. Thank you for the foods, I love you, sayang.” “Love you too big bear.”

*****

The next day was Saturday. Rachel woke up earlier than she usually did on weekend. She left office on 11.30 PM last night but still managed to wake up early because she wanted to go to Johnny's apartment.

It was 05.00 AM, there was no way Johnny was up at this hour. She took her time to get ready then she texted him. She knew she won't get reply soon so she made a cup of tea for herself and checking work-related emails on her phone.

She was reading an email from her boss when a notification text popped up. It was Johnny. She closed the email application then moved to text app. He just woke up. Rachel asked about his condition and offered to go to doctor with her and he said he just wanted some hugs. After that, she went to Johnny's place and planning to stay there this weekend to take care of him. Sometimes Rachel couldn't believe that he was older than her because he would act as if he was 3 years old.
