I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 51 - Jackson's Determination

Hearing Anne's words made Aaron speechless, his eyes suddenly got wider when Anne assumed he was starving because he came to the coffee shop several times to ask for the food payment they have agreed on in exchange for his salary for helping Anne out. Maybe if someone else said this to him, he would get mad immediately. But knowing that Anne was the one who said it, he could not get mad somehow. Instead, he smiled and said yes to Anne, who had made her own assumption.

"Yes, that is why I came all the way here to collect your promise," said Aaron quickly. ??

"Collecting promise? Do you mean paying you with my food?!" asked Anne, confused.

"Yes," Aaron replied without hesitation.

"Well, I have given you food, what else then... awwww ..."

Anne could not finish her words because Aaron pulled her hand towards him so that Anne became very close and clung to Aaron's body.

"Not only this, Anne, you've been making me look for you for months so I can't possibly let you pay me with just one meal like this," Aaron said softly in a half-whisper voice.

"Then, what do you want Aaron? Let me go!" Anne stammered as she tried to get away from Aaron.

"I'll let you go after we finish making a deal first, Anne," Aaron said quickly as he looked at Anne's face that was right in front of him.

"What kind of deal?" stammered Anne.

"From now on you have to cook for me and I will come to have dinner with you every night in your apartment," Aaron replied loudly.

Anne was silent at Aaron's words, she felt strange about the agreement that Aaron had just said.

"Do you agree or not, Anne?" asked Aaron suddenly interrupting Anne's reverie.

"Y-yes but actually ..,"

"Good!! So we both have agreed and you should not violate it, I will come to ask you for dinner every single night," Aaron said quickly cutting off Anne's words.

"But I haven't officially said yes, Aaron, that's just .."

"The first word that came out of the lips was a word of honesty from the heart, so I took the words as an answer. Alright then, I have to go home because it's almost eleven. You also have to take a rest, right?" said Aaron again cutting off Anne's words as he let go of Anne's hand and immediately got up from the sofa without guilt.

Anne was still silent hearing Aaron's words, she was still confused by all Aaron's words that sounded strange. Aaron could only smile when he saw Anne stayed silent, he realized that the girl who had been driving him almost crazy got even more confused. Anne also escorted Aaron out of her apartment, she stood at the door while escorting Aaron without speaking. After Aaron disappeared behind the elevator, Anne closed the door to her room, her drowsiness could no longer be tolerated.

Shortly thereafter, Aaron was seen walking in the courtyard of Anne's apartment, he stared at the 10th floor where Anne's room was while smiling.

"With this, we will keep meeting each other, Anne. Even though at this time I haven't got your new cellphone number but I know where you live. With the agreement you agreed earlier you have bonded yourself to me, Anne," Aaron said silently while smiling, he kept staring at Anne's darkroom since Anne already turned off the light to go to bed.

Aaron stood for a long time near Anne's apartment building, he still hadn't moved away from Anne's new apartment that he just visited. It seemed like he still wanted to linger around Anne longer, but he finally chose to go home after realizing that Anne looked very tired earlier.

"See you tomorrow, Anne," Aaron said softly when he was in his car, not long after that, he left Anne's apartment with an indescribable feeling.

This was the first time Aaron felt this happy to come home from a girl's place, even though he had no special relationship with the girl yet. After failing to foster his last relationship with his ex-lover, this was the first time Aaron got this happy and cheerful, he could not wait to get back to Anne's apartment tomorrow so he could quickly meet Anne again.

Meanwhile, near a park which was still quite busy, Jack's Jeep Wrangler Rubicon was parked nicely. The owner was sitting on a chair in the park while enjoying his cigarette. He looked so tired because he had been trying to find Anne all day to various places where girls usually went, but his efforts were useless because he could not find what he was looking for.

"I'm sure the girl I saw at the bookstore yesterday was you, Anne. I know the smell of your favorite vanilla perfume very well," said Jack softly.

Jack stubbed out his sturdy whirlpool in the cigarette bin, he then walked slowly toward his Jeep, which looked very masculine. When he was about to open his car door, his smartphone suddenly vibrated in his jacket pocket. He quickly took out his cellphone and opened the message sent to him. His eyes got wider quickly when he saw the message sent by his subordinates. A photo of Anne could be seen clearly on the screen of his cellphone, she was seen carrying several fashion magazines from a bookstore. The girl in the picture can still be recognized easily as Anne from the way she smiled, even though her face was covered with some of her hair.

"Anne ... Marianne ... I finally found you, you were actually in London. Sooner or later I will definitely get to you, Anne," said Jack, staring at the beautiful photo of Anne that was taken by one of his hired private detectives.
