She's Just Like A Candy

The party at the Stuarts' residence was still full of excitement until close to midnight. JC couldn't bear to see Anna who seemed to be shivering from the cold because of her revealing dress model.

He also made a deal with the girl. "Anna, how about I hug you from behind? I think it will make you warm, you shiver ...," said JC who was standing next to Anna looking at the middle of the room which was crowded with young people who were cool to dance and talk.

Annastacia turned to look at JC thoughtfully then she replied "Sure, but I hope you won't mess with me, JC!"

"Sure... calm down, Girl!" replied JC lightly. He wrapped his arms around Anna's slender waist and warmed her in his arms. Then, JC rubbed Anna's upper arm with his palm. Anna's skin felt cold to the touch.

"Oohh, it feels so comfortable, JC. Thank you," Anna sighed in the man's arms. JC's stout body seemed to envelop her tiny body. The two of them were in that position for quite a while and chatted with each other. Anna likes JC's pleasant and gentle temperament when he talks. It was like chatting with an old friend.

"JC, do you already have a girlfriend?" asked Anna curiously. 'Since JC is a famous artist, it's a bit difficult to date,' thought Anna.

"Unfortunately, my profession is difficult to date, there is a rule from management that prohibits artists from dating. Then, my fans will also not like it if I have someone special. The point is that my personal life is not as sweet as people think," said JC in a tone that Anna thought was a little sad.

"Hmmm, I think I understand a little about your life behind that glittering stage, JC. Maybe one day you have to give up your popularity if you want a simpler and stress-free life," commented Anna about JC's artist life.

JC laughed weakly at Anna's comment. "I'd like it if I get the right life partner. Unfortunately, I haven't found the girl until now, so I better work hard to build a palace while waiting for her to arrive in my life," replied JC.

They were both silent, both busy with their self-thoughts. "How about you Anna? Still single until now?" asked JC as he tightened his arms around Anna's body which felt so snug to hers.

"I don't like dating, my job demands solid working hours and drains time, energy, and mind. A surgeon must focus when working on the operating table," answered Anna frankly.

"I think we look alike ...," said JC.

Annastacia laughed lightly, she also thought the same as JC earlier. They both have professional jobs that make their personal life dry. However, so far there hasn't been a single man who has caught Anna's attention.

"How about we become secret lovers? Do you agree? We have a lot in common, don't we?" suggested JC while looking at Anna's face from the side.

Anna looked back at him and then replied, "You can try, but promise not to act weird or our relationship will end!"

"Calm down, maybe I'm famous as a playboy according to gossip magazines. However, I'm not like that ... yes I did sleep with many women throughout my career. It's just that I don't play with them," said JC telling his love life.

"Oops I'm dealing with a playboy, could you say this just because you want to sleep with me, JC?" replied Anna indignantly.

JC also burst out laughing. "You can think all you want, Anna. I don't want to lead opinions in the wrong direction actually, but that's how it's been all along. And about sleeping with you, I'd be happy to do it. Unfortunately, I don't think you'd want to, right?"

"Sleep with strangers is not my style, JC. I want to make love not just have sex, it's very bad if you do it carelessly," replied Anna avoiding JC's gaze, while the man's arms wrapped tightly around her body as if she didn't want to let her go away.

"A little of my heart began to fall for you, Beautiful. That's what I feel, but maybe you need a little more time to get to know the real me," said JC honestly with his feelings.

Rossie Stuart approached them both saying "Sorry to interrupt your romantic moment, but I'd like to ask JC to sing a song or whatever he wants for me and my guests, Anna."

"Oh sure, Rossie. He's free ... I'm just cold from wearing your borrowed dress. JC helped take the chill away."

"Go, JC," said Anna smiling at JC as she released herself from the man's arms.

"Okay, I'll go up to the stage now," JC replied then rushed to the stage to take the microphone and sit on the high chair in the middle of the stage. "Good evening, guys. I'll bring you some songs. Check it out!" said JC then spoke to the guitarist who was sitting next to him on the stage.

"Enough is enough ... the lover's tears, seeing her man does not change ... because love can not be betrayed that's why ... also love does not want to be divided in two in doubt ... that's why." JC sings his song with a melodious voice accompanied by guitar strumming that drowns the listeners.

When the song ended, there was loud applause from the whole party room. "More ... more ... more, we want JC, we want JC!" JC fans cheered asking him to sing a song again.

"Okay, one more song huh ...," said JC friendly while releasing his sweet smile. His eyes searched for Anna's figure among the sea of ​​people who were present at the party that night. 'Shit, who's that guy?!' JC cursed in his heart when he saw a man approaching Anna. They both seem to know each other.

"Miss you ... my thoughts go to you, my sweet dove ... my love girl ... you are in my heart ...," JC chanted in a crappy song that he fully lived until his fans became so excited when they heard it.

Surprisingly, it was precisely the song he wanted to dedicate to Anna. The cute girl he met tonight in the middle of the road was frozen because of the heavy snowfall. The beautiful angel who saved his life from the threat of hypothermia. 'She's just like a candy,' JC thought longing for Anna to be in his arms again.

JC was a little jealous when Anna smiled while talking to the damn man who couldn't seem to take his eyes off her beautiful body. And the man finally looked at JC with an unpleasant look.

However, JC was indifferent while singing on stage as if nothing had happened. His voice control and soulfulness of songs are so good that his fans don't know if their idol is upset and restless.

"Oohh, hi John! Did you come to Rossie's party too?" said Anna to the man who touched her open shoulder from behind when she turned her head.

"Good evening, Beautiful Doctor. Of course, I know she is a close friend of yours. I thought you must also come to this party," replied John Baldere with a longing look at Anna.

"Yes, Rossie forced me to come. Truly I didn't want to come, the weather was bad and I was tired from working all day ... there were a lot of road accidents today, you know?" replied Anna familiarly.

"It's almost midnight, should you stay here or should I drive you back to your apartment, Anna?" John's suggestion made sense.

"I came here with a friend, maybe I should ask him first," Anna said hesitantly then she saw JC waving to her from the stage. Anna waved her hand in reply to JC.

"That's my friend who came with me, John," said Anna pointing at JC on stage.

John also turned towards the stage and met JC in a sharp gaze that only a fellow man who likes the same woman can understand.
