Chapter 4

Bloom had already taken the key to her house under the pot of her plant. Clear waited for the girl to enter the house before he walked to the taxi and left. Bloom went straight to her room and immediately got dressed. He dried her hair and lay down on the bed. She bit her lip so hard when she remembered Clear. She admires the handsome and hot taxi-driver who became her hero. She immediately forgot what had happened to her because of it. He was just a simple guy. It was as if she was constantly tempted to hit his joke earlier. If only, she wasn't too ashamed because of how much she was grateful for it. She smiled and closed her eyes.

Meanwhile... Clear stopped at a specific place. He parked the taxi in a place that could not be easily seen. He turned off the headlight and backlight. He looked at the polo-shirt next to him. He took it and smelled it. The smell of Bloom's perfume was left there. The scent was soft and makes his body hot... He was starting to ignite and being addicted with that soft scent.

"Damm it!" he rebuked himself.

He pulled away the polo-shirt and laughed shaking. He laughs to himself. He bit his lip so hard. He admits, he was attracted to Bloom. He took a deep breath. He was single for two years not only because he was busy.

He was single for two years because he was a bit traumatized by his ex-girlfriend. He gave it everything it wanted. He is the type when in love, he will give more than one hundred percent. He was generous and willing to throw money. If he had to pledge his soul as well, he would. But in the end, he caught his ex-girlfriend with another man and really in the act of love making?! He is not stupid so as not to notice and especially he is not a fool. So he devised a way to prove the suspicion.

What hurts, he suspects right. He does not know where he is missing? He gave everything?! He rested deeply as he remembered that thing. He grabbed his chin and came up with an idea.

"Would she like me even if I was just a simple taxi-driver?" he said to himself.

He laughed at his thought. He looked around and see if he could find a strange activity.

The next day... Siege and Ervine listen carefully to Clear's reports.

"So far, I have no lead because I have not noticed any strange activity in the routes assigned to me. I think, they are laying low first now. But when they know they are a bit cold to law enforcement. They will definitely do the activity again. Besides, it was my first night on the job, last night." Clear explained.

Ervine frowned and folded his arms.

"Okay, now... What happened?" its a sudden question.

"Nothing, because I didn't see anything." Clear's answer.

"Liar!" Siege suddenly spoke.

"Excuse me, no ah." his language is defensive.

"Ow? Why is it that of all those who have no lead in the mission, I only see you looking happy?" Ervine's curious language.

Clear shook his head and laughed softly.

"I'm just excited because I've been stuck in field work for a long time. I've been bored for almost a month." he excused himself.

Ervine laughed out loud. This indicates that he is not satisfied with his explanation.

"We'll hit you if you still lie!" suddenly its language.

When everyone heard what Ervine said Aeon, Chase, Gin and Sky approached. They folded and threatened to look. He took a deep breath. He is no longer safe to slip through.

"Badtrip! Yes, I met a beautiful woman yesterday and I think, I want her to be special someone. But don't yah worry because I will not affect my work. What happened yesterday was just a coincidence. Besides, I also want to know if she will like me as a simple taxi driver. I just hope..." Clear said.

Aeon smiled sparingly.

"It's good and you plan to do a preliminary investigation there on your course. Looks like you were really taken ah? I hope you do not turn into an ATM machine again. It's as easy as giving." Aeon commented.

He looked at it sharply and frowned.

"Ouch! Is it really stressed to remind?!" he complained.

He has moved on and he wants to forget that event in his life forever. He sighed violently and scratched his neck. He simply played with the ends of the strands of his hair.

"Ha ha, good luck. Just remember, no pleasure at work. If you are really determined there in your plan, hurry up the work so that you can focus on your courtship." Siege reminded.

"I'll do that. All right, I'll go. I'll just let you know again. Bye!"

He saluted them and then left.

The next day... Bloom was currently having breakfast when she heard a car horn outside the house. She peeked out the window and saw Clear's taxi. Bloom looked at the watch. 7:30 p.m.

"He is too early and serious?" she wondered.

Meanwhile... Clear looked in the yard as he got out of the car. He simply picked flowers there and made a bouquet. He straightened his ponytail and took a deep breath before walking towards the door of the house. He was just about to knock on the door when it suddenly opened. And Bloom opened up to him.

"Good morning!" Clear smiled.

"G-Good morning..." Bloom said somewhat consciously.

She was wearing black shorts and her white brassier was reflected in the yellow t-shirt she was wearing because the fabric was just thin then. She noticed that the young man was staring at her so her cheek got hot. She looked at his face and he gave her a mischievous and frugal smile.

"Flowers?" suddenly its language.

She looked at the flowers he was holding and handed them to her. She picked it up and looked at the awkward young man's face.

"You know, I don't know if I'm going to be mad at you. These are the flowers of my plant there on the fence eh..."

Clear laughed awkwardly at her.

"I'm sorry, I can’t help it. Next time, I'll just go to the other house."

She laughed softly.

"Don't do that!" she scolded.

"I'm not going to be caught." the young man said.

She rubbed her forehead.

"Have you eaten?" she asked the young man.

"Not yet. I'm not hungry yet."

"Well then, come with me to eat breakfast. Come on, come in."

Clear did not move and looked at her face carefully. Its face turned red, it was obvious that it was ashamed because his skin color was white though, she likes tanned men. She smiled at the man.

"You don't have to be shy. This is my chance so I can get back to you. Come on."

She pulled the man's right hand and it silently obeyed her. Clear looked at the girl holding his hand in confusion. He smiled, the beauty of his morning. It is effective when he narrows a little. He really meant not to eat breakfast and he also meant to come here early so that he could eat with the girl. Just last night Velvet taught him some techniques.

He told him, men should also be able to narrow a little and not give too much. Women like men who are a bit hard to get. And it should be, quite a mysterious effect. He took a deep breath to calm himself. He could not believe that he was able to ask Velvet for a lecture and he was doing what he was taught. He looked around. The furniture and the wall designs are simple. They went to the dining room and looked at the table. Toasted pandesal with egg and cheese with matching hot coffee. His stomach growled.

"Sit down. I'll just make you some coffee. Is it black coffee?"

Bloom let go of his hand.

"Yes please...?" he replied smiling.

He sat down and took some food from the table. He is no longer ashamed because he is hungry. Moments later Bloom arrived carrying the mug with only hot coffee. She sat opposite to him.

"Just eat some food."

Clear smiled at Bloom as he ate the pandesal with stuffed egg and cheese.

"Are you alone here?" Clear asked.

"Yes. My older brother and my mother are in the province. Mom needs to help Kuya Brandon take care of my nephews. My brother has already five kids. You?"

"I also live alone in the house. But from time to time, I visit my parents' home to greet them. And of course, to see if my youngest sister if she’s giving a headache or not."

"Uhum..."

They continued to eat breakfast while discussing various topics. When they had finished eating Bloom said goodbye to him. She is getting ready for work. She made him sit on the sofa first and he simply read the newspaper. He could hear the sound of the rushing water and his brain was a little dirty. He shook his head to calm himself. After a while the familiar fragrant scent he loved smelled around. He folded his arms and he just took a deep breath but he guess it was wrong? That fragrant smell that he seems to be addicted to bites his nose even more?!

He did not know how long it had been before Bloom came out of her room already dressed. Her hair is fine and dry. She was wearing a simple black shirt and denim pants. And she was carrying a leather shoulder bag. As usual the pink lipstick is the only make up on its face. And its scent is layered with other scents and the taste in the nose of the blend because it is not bold. It was just soft on the nose. Is he even more tortured?!

It was amazing that Bloom looked at Clear. It blushes. She frowned and looked intently at the young man's face.

"Are you not feeling well?" she asked worriedly.

It looked at her back and was startled to shake.

"No, why?" this is another question.

"Are you blushing? You don't have a fever? Are you sure you're okay? Could it be that you got sick because you rush into the rain last night because of me?" Bloom said worriedly.

Clear's face was serious.

"I'm okay. I'm just getting hot-I mean! Its the warm weather so I'm blushing. It's normal for me because you know, my skin color is white..." Clear explained hesitantly.

Bloom smiled at what the young man said.

"Yeah, your so white. You're envious. How many bottles of gluten did you drink?" he asked jokingly.

"Huh, I don't need gluten anymore. It's in my genes. Sure, I don't have much to promise anything. But one thing is for sure, I can give a good race."

Clear winked mischievously at her and she slapped his shoulder.

“No offend but I like tan. Tanned men looks so manly and handsome.”

Clear’s smile faded slowly as he look at his own skin.

"Even my skin color is white, I assure you that I’m a straight man and I’m strong!”

Bloom just laugh slightly at Clear’s reaction. She didn’t mean to offend but that’s the truth. She was more attracted to tan color of skin.

“Don’t worry Clear, your handsome so you have nothing to worry. Besides, you are a trustworthy guy and kind too. Can you give me a discount on the fair?”

“Oh dear!” Clear chuckled.

“Let’s just go. I might be late!”

The young man laughed as he obeyed.
