《CURSE OF LOVE》Invitation & Tattoo |Pt.8
Advertisement
Pria itu menatap ke arah luar jendela diruangannya..ia melihat ke tangan kanannya,dimana sebuah gambar mawar merah menggugurkan kelopaknya lagi.. Waktunya memang tidak banyak lagi tapi ia belum menemukan seseorang yang Kendra bilang...'aku tidak ingin selamanya seperti ini' gumamnya.
Ia kemudian berbalik menuju meja kerja nya dimana ada sebuah undangan pertunangan yang bertuliskan Karen McDevon & Travis Anderson Engagement.. Ya, undangan itu tepat pada hari ulang tahun wanita itu dan tepat pada malam halloween.. Sepertinya ia tahu apa yang direncanakan mantan kekasihnya ini. Pesta pertunangan dengan tema Halloween,dimana tamu pria wajib memakai atribut halloween apapun dan tamu wanita harus tampil secantik mungkin dengan gaun pesta.. Memang aneh untuk suatu pesta pertunangan pebisnis hebat seperti Travis Anderson.
Hunter yakin ide tema ini berasal dari mantan kekasihnya itu.. 'Apa aku harus datang?tetapi dengan siapa..tidak mungkin aku sendirian kesana' ucapnya sendiri seraya berfikir.
Tak lama kemudian terdengar suara ketukan dipintu.. "Masuk .."
Ternyata orang itu adalah Ana..ide gila tiba tiba muncul di otak Hunter saat melihat Ana datang.
"Sir.. Mr.Daniel akan kembali dari German besok siang dan beliau bilang akan bertemu dengan anda setelahnya sir...dan ini berkas hasil kunjungan RaiseMade.Corp ..."
"An.. Kalau kita sedang berdua seperti ini panggil saja aku Hunter...aku merasa sangat tua ketika kau panggil sir ..taruh saja berkasnya disitu..." tunjuknya pada meja ditengah sofa.
'Apa aku harus mengajaknya?ayolah Hunt...kau harus buang ego mu ini,kau hanya akan mengajak nya ke pesta mantan kekasihmu saja..' batinnya.
"Ana.. Apa besok malam kau tidak ada acara?" Hunter mengelus elus tengkuknya yang tidak gatal..
"Hmmm.. Sepertinya tidak ada Hunt..memangnya kenapa?" Ana pun melirik kearah undangan yang tergeletak di meja..sepertinya ia tau apa yang pria didepannya ini maksud.
"Ahh itu rupanya...kau mau mengajakku menemanimu ke pesta pertunangan salah satu CEO The Anderson Company itu bukan?... " ucapnya sedikit berpikir seraya duduk di sofa ruangan itu.

"Yes,that's what i mean..do you mind,An?"
"No, I don't mind Hunt.. Sure aku bisa menemanimu kesana,aku asisten pribadimu bukan...tapi apa kau yakin akan datang?"
"Baguslah kalau begitu.. Tentu saja,pesta itu mengambil tema Halloween.. So tamu pria bisa memakai atribut halloween apapun dan kau hanya akan memakai gaun saja..jadi aku tidak perlu menutupi penampilanku di pesta itu bukan..."
"Wow aku baru pertama kali menghadiri acara pertunangan dengan tema halloween...baiklah kalau begitu..aku harus mencari gaun dilemari setelah ini.."
"Tidak perlu... Ms.Jane akan menemanimu membeli gaun disalah satu butik yang ku pilih.."
"Tapi Hunt..." belum selesai ucapannya langsung dipotong oleh Hunter.
"Nope tidak ada penolakan Ms. Ashford.."
Akhirnya Ana pun mengalah dan mengiyakan hal tersebut. Besok malam ia akan menemani salah satu CEO dan billionare terkenal di sebuah pesta seorang Hunter Pearce.. Dan mungkin ini pertama kali nya juga bos nya itu menampilkan dirinya sendiri saat keadaannya sekarang berubah... Ia akan mendampinginya nanti..
******
Aku dan Jane mulai memilih gaun yang akan dipakai besok malam...tapi aku sedikit ragu karena harga gaun gaun ini sangatlah mahal dan aku sungguh tidak enak dengan Hunter...Jane bilang butik ini punya adik kandung Mr.Pearce yaitu Lucy Alexander Pearce..gaun gaun rancangannya sangat indah dan modelnya sangat masa kini sekali...
Aku pun sesekali melirik Jane..dan hanya berkata.. 'Tidak apa apa An..Mr.Pearce sendiri yang menginginkan mu memilih gaun disini...' begitu katanya.
Aku sebenarnya sangat penasaran dengan Lucy adiknya Hunter,dia pasti sangat cantik dan pintar mendesign gaun,tapi Jane bilang Lucy sedang berada di Manchester untuk menghadiri acara Fashion week.
Dan akhirnya Jane yang memilihkan gaun untukku,sungguh gaun yang dipilihnya sangat cantik dan elegan,modelnya juga simple...Jane menyuruhku untuk mencobanya di ruang ganti..
Gaun sleeveless itu tidak banyak motif hanya warna biru laut ombre,dan bagian belakang gaunnya yang terbuka kesan yang simple namun elegan... Aku pun menunjukannya pada Jane seraya berputar ditempat.

"Wow kau sangat cantik sekali An... Tidak salah aku memilihnya..tunggu apa kau mempunyai tatto An?" Jane sedikit kaget saat melihat tatto pink rose di punggungku.
"Hmm yap...tatto pink rose bukan?aku sudah memilikinya saat kuliah dulu bersama sahabatku,tatto ini juga menutupi lukaku sewaktu kecil...apa akan terlihat buruk Jane?" ucapku seraya memandang Jane.
"
Tentu tidak..kau akan tetap terlihat cantik An..aku hanya sedikit kaget kau memiliki tattoo dipunggungmu,tapi aku menyukainya..baiklah kita bungkus yang itu ..." ucapnya lagi seraya menyuruhku kembali keruang ganti.
Aku sangat senang memiliki teman seperti Jane..entah kenapa aku jadi merindukan sahabatku Ellen sekarang,terakhir aku mendapatkan kabar ia masih sibuk menjalani pemotretan di Manchester.. Sebelum bertemu Ellen sebenarnya aku juga memiliki sahabat terdekatku saat dikuliah dulu,hanya saja aku lupa dengan namanya karena aku sempat mengalami kecelakaan mobil saat berlibur di San Francisco dengan sahabatku itu dan setelahnya aku mengalami amnesia dan aku hanya mengingat beberapa orang saja yang ku kenal.
Itu adalah masa lalu yang tidak seharusnya aku ingat lagi..karena setiap kali aku mengingatnya,kepalaku akan terasa sangat sakit dan aku tidak ingin sakit di kepalaku kambuh didepan Jane..
Setelah selesai dari butik itu,aku dan Jane bergegas pulang.. Sungguh aku sangat berterima kasih dengan Jane yang suda menemaniku hari ini.

"You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band.
