Chapter 9

Rouge grabbed his chin and then thought carefully. He looked at Olivia again.

"What?" Olivia asked in amazement.

"How about a movie marathon?"

A smile drew on Olivia's lips. She was even more amazed as she stared at Rouge's beautiful face. Movies, she loves to watch movies. It looks like it was lucky today. He got a good shot.

"What kind of movie marathon?" she asked.

"You? What do you want?"

Olivia walked over to her bed and she sat on the side. The young man looked at her and waited for her answer.

"Choose some DVD's there. I'll see what I like."

"Yes Ma'am!"

Rouge salute her and she laughed softly. Its elegance when he salutes. A real military man. It went to the shelf where her Flat screen TV was placed. He looked at the rack where her DVD collections were stacked. The young man whistled.

"The Count of Montecristo. This is one of my favourite old classic movie. It was really beautiful."

Olivia felt fondness.

"Really? Yeah! That was a real good movie. I was so touched when Edmund was framed up just because he didn't know how to write and read. His best-friend still did it and he took advantage of his weakness. You know, just to steal his fiancée."

"Uhum! That was a treachery. But the touches part for me is when the old man dies while they are trying to escape in prison... You know, the reverend who taught him everything he needs to know."

"Yes, that part is also touchy."

"What, do you like it?"

"Ahm... No. I would just cry and I might feel worse. Try another."

Rouge looked at the rack again.

"How about a sci-fi movie? Armageddon?"

"I love that! But my tears will definitely flood later on the part where Harry says goodbye to his daughter, you know, the man needs to save the world and he dies. I don’t like to watch that for now, I will feel worse. I'm a Papa's girl."

Rouge smiled softly. He is lucky today. Hopefully, it will continue. The more he gets to know Olivia, the more he sees that she has a lot of likes that he also likes.

"Oh my goodness! You are complete with James Bond movies? Some of them are already rare."

"Papa is the original owner of that. He is a big fan of the James Bond series. He will watch in the cinema but when a DVD comes out, he will still buy it and watch it over and over again. He is my influence on passion in action movies."

"And you still have Expendables from part one to part three?"

"Of course! My favourite action stars came together in that movie trilogy! I'm also complete with Transporter. One of my favourite action stars is Jason Statham. He performed cool. I also have a Resident Evil series. I love Mila Jovovich because she is a cool heroine. My favourite movie she has is the Ultraviolet. The beauty of her transformation there, everything she has. Of course, Angelina Jolie...I love her in Tom Raider and her other movies. She was cool and dangerous."

"Right, right... Uy, how about an action romance movie? The Mask of Zorro?"

Olivia grabbed the pillow and bit her lip hard.

"Nice idea! I really crush the fiction character Zorro. You know, the man behind the mask. His is mysterious. So, dashing! Antonio Banderas performed well there and I like Catherine Zeta-Jones' resilience "

A mischievous smile appeared on Rouge's lips.

"Ah... Did you really crush the fictional character Zorro? Did you know that he was the one who made the most of the movie back in the 1970's? It was just Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta Jones made it good. I really like the scene when he rip the clothes and steal a kiss from Elena while they are fencing. That's the moves!"

Olivia's smile faded as Rouge stared at her intently as he spoke. The type that melts.

"The theme song of the movie is one of my favourite song... I want to spend my lifetime loving you."

He said the title of the song in a sexy-husky way. Olivia hugged the pillow.

"What? Is this what we're going to watch first or do you want something else?" Rouge asked her.

"Look for another."

Rouge even searched for another DVD. He was whistled because he saw a movie that was his favourite.

"How about Pearl Harbor? Could it be, Olivia? Please? I like it the most."

"Really? You like that too?! That was a real good movie... I love that. All right, let’s watch it."

"Gee, thanks!"

Rouge immediately turned on the TV and the DVD player. He excitedly put the cd on the DVD player and then took the remote. He sit next to Olivia and they were both excited when the movie started. They are both quiet. Less than halfway through the movie Olivia fell asleep. Rouge smiled as he looked at its face. Peaceful. He gently adjusted it to lie down so that it would not slip. Rouge smiled and continued watching the movie. He finished it and have no intention of watching another movie. He just lay down and accompanied Olivia. He felt it tremble slightly, it looked cold. He simply leaned over and then hugged it. He simply parted her hair that covered Olivia's face slightly. He stared at her face for a long time and even for no reason he smiled. He gently kissed her on the lips and then closed his eyes. He has nothing else to do but to watched her today. He will take good care of it.

Even if she fights with him when she recovers, it's okay. The important thing is, she gets well. Rouge woke up at noon. He looked at his companion, Olivia was still sound asleep. He looked at his wristwatch. It's 1:27 in the afternoon.

"I need to cook."

He touch Olivia's forehead and he could breathe easily because her fever was gone. He was about to get up but he was stopped when the girl pulled the collar of his clothes and then she hugged him. It even leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Love, I need to cook."

It pulled the collar of his clothes. And he felt its hot breath on his neck. Oh dear!

"No... I am cold, stay here. That's an order!" Olivia's weak language.

Rouge smiled and was amazed to see his companion. It closed its eyes but a frugal smile flashed across its lips.

"But it's noon, Olivia. We'll both be hungry if I don't cook."

"Just deliver food. Don't be stingy. Reduce your hidden wealth."

Rouge chuckled.

"Right... That was a better idea. "

He moved a little further and tightened his hug with Olivia. He kissed it on the forehead, on the bridge of the nose and several times he kissed it on the lips. He just stopped when she slaps his cheek lightly.

"Stop that! You are taking advantage of the ceasefire too much!" she complained weakly.

Rouge smiled broadly.

"Just let me. When you get well, you will fight me again. So I really take advantage of that."

He kissed it again on the lips and this time it was longer and stronger until the kiss gradually deepened. Annoyed that Olivia is happy with Rouge, he's too sweet to handle. She also could not resist his kiss. Maybe her defenses are weak now because she is sick. She pulled on the collar of his clothes as she retaliated with its hot kiss. That didn't last long. She kept her eyes closed because she wanted to enjoy the moment. She considers it a dream.

"Be thankful that you are sick now... If you happen to be well, you are mine."

Annoyed Olivia lightly slapped Rouge's cheek and a silly laugh escaped it. He grabbed her right hand and then kissed it. She was tickled as if electrified by what it was doing.

"Stop that... I want to sleep. You're a nuisance." she complained weakly.

He stopped what he was doing and then hugged her again. It lay down.

"Yeah, let's just go to sleep."

Olivia rested deeply because it no longer disturbed her. It no longer make nonsense. It did accompany her to sleep and they ate lunch late. And as she ordered... It just ordered and delivered their food. It did not leave her, well... He decided to stay at her house while he was on vacation and she could do nothing. They watched the movie again after they had lunch. In the afternoon, she went out to visit her garden. She feels good. Still, she wore a jacket so she wouldn't get cold. She smiled as she looked at the flowers and took a walk.

"You might get tired of that. The best thing is, just go back inside the house. I'll take care of your plants."

She looked at the young man angrily. It was next to her.

"What?" Rouge asked her lightly.

"Do you think, I will entrust my plants to you after you shave my rose? No way!"

"I will never do that again."

Rouge raised his right hand.

"Promise!"

Olivia took a deep breath. She looked at her plants again.

"Here you will remember, Rouge. It is forbidden to interfere with my garden without my permission and it is even more forbidden to move even the leaves of my plant. Interfere with others, but not with my plants here in the garden. Is it clear? Because you, when you do something stupid to them again... I will really make you bald!" Olivia said loudly.

But a mischievous smile flashed across Rouge's lips.

"All right, shave me down!"

He laughed heartily and she punched him in the chest. It did not even bear of what she did. But in the end, she smiled mischievously. She looked foolishly at Rouge and it stopped laughing.

"You said that... Bald you down! I will wax you so that you will be completely bald. What?"

"Will you?" the young man asked her incredulously.

"Why, are you scared?" Olivia asked defiantly.

An awkward smile made Rouge smile.

"No. When it rains bullets, I am not afraid. Is it just waxing? Duh!" He said proudly.

Olivia mischievously pointed at Rouge's chest.

"Clearly talk about it ah? You, when you do something silly that will really make me angry, I will really wax you. Here, we will try strength and courage..."

Rouge laughed softly. He gripped Olivia's hand tightly which was pointed at him.

"Strenght and courage? You gotta be kidding me, Olivia. It's like you don't know who you're talking to." Rouge's comfortable language.

"I know you. And as I said, here we will try strength and courage... So if you are afraid of my challenge, think before you do something that will make me angry. I will make sure, you will pay dearly next time. I will charge with interest!"

"Okay. But that is unlikely to happen because I will not do anything that will make you angry. I do everything to get a good shot. And I'm lucky now that I'm in first base."

Olivia nodded.

"You're right. You're in luck now. Let's see next time. As I said, I will not fight you now. But when I'm really well, I'm sorry. It’s war again."

"I'm used to war, Olivia. And if you think you can subdue me... Well, you're wrong. I'll make sure you fall for me and I have the last laugh."

"Let's see!"

"Yeah, let's just see!"

Next they challenge each other to stare.
