Oliver Davis was one of the most sought out bachelors in London. He got everything what a woman wanted for a man – looks, money, prestige, and a perfect gentleman.

But the latter was shattered when he saw his then girlfriend for three years in the arms of another man. He thought that women will appreciates a guy more if they were patient about doing that thing, he respected her so much to the point of not crossing that line without getting married first.

But when he confronted her, she even made it looked like it was his fault for being 'too gentle' and broke up with him.

That's why he gave his first time to a total stranger that he met in a bar while he's mourning for his broken heart.

He did it again with another girl, and another, and another, until he collected a quite number of bed partners. They wanted to be disrespected and to be played with, so he's giving them what they wanted.

They love the material things that he gave them, and they satisfied him with their body.

It's a mutual give and take relationship until he met her...

Her, who look at him with her charming and bright eyes,

Her, who smiled and then praise him like he's the most amazing person in the world,

Her, who was so naive and idiot,

Her, who was so selfless,

Her, who saved his life.

The hurt in her eyes when she learned the truth hunted him in his sleep. He gave her time to heal, three months... he was discreetly following her for three months.

He was already content watching her smile, hearing her laughter from afar. He was itching to approach her to talk to her, to tease her, to make her blush, pout, and angry, but he couldn't. Just by remembering Mai's teary face froze him.

He broke up with his partners then, if he's going to pursue Mai, he must come to her clean.

And now, she's standing in the balcony in reception area. She looks beautiful as ever from the last time he saw her.

Oliver took a deep breath, preparing himself. He frowned when he noticed a man bringing two flutes of champagne walking to her direction, before the man called her, he saw him put something in one of the flutes.


"Hey"

Mai jumped from the voice that startled her. It was the stranger from the church earlier "Hey..."

"You are alone, where's your partner?"

"I don't have one."

"Well, care for a drink?" He smiled, handing her a flute.

Mai stared at it for a moment but before she can even took it from him, a strong hand gripped her wrist. She glanced at the person and saw a scowling Naru glaring dagger at the stranger in front of her.

"I don't think she needed your company." Naru growled. "She's with me."

The man knitted his eyebrow, looking at him in doubt. "Liar. She said she's alone."

"SHE'S. WITH. ME." He snarled at him. Mai swear she felt her flute turned iced-cold.

"I'm with him." She smiled at the stranger.

"Is he the father of your child?"

Mai controlled herself not to blush, and answer seriously with a straight face. "Yes..."

The stranger looked at her from head to toe, then to Naru. "Aren't you too young to have a child?"

"It's none of your business." Naru spat irritatingly.

"And here I thought you're a decent woman, you're a no different from a bitch then." He sneered before turning his heels back in the reception.

Leaving Mai stiffed frozen.

And a livid Naru.

"THAT SON OF A-!"

"Stop!" Mai grabbed his hand from charging the stranger. "Stop, don't make a scene in your brother's wedding reception."

Naru glared at her. "But he just called you -"

"I don't care what people called me, and besides, it's none of your business in first place."

He sober up. Remembering why he approached her in the first place with that man. "Throw that away."

Mai tilted her in confusion.

"The flute." He clarified. "He put something on it."

"I know. I have feeling about it."

"Then why did you still accept it, idiot?" He scolded.

"It doesn't mean I will drink it, jerk." She rolled her eyes before dumping the champagne on the potted plant.

Naru softly smiled at her, he was pleased that he can now talk to her like he used to. Mai was busy appreciating the lights outside, when a waiter passed their way, Naru took two flutes.

"Mai..." Naru started. The girl looked at him, waiting for whatever he wanted to say. "I'm so sorry... Please... I know what I, we," He corrected. "Did was unforgivable... I want us to start over again." He straightened up, composing his self.

"I'm Oliver Davis, but you can call me Naru, short for 'Narcissist', I am single and only available for you, mind if I join you here tonight?"

And he smiled at her, the smile that always made her heart skip a beat, handing her a flute of sparkling wine.

Mai chuckled, and gladly took the offered drink. "I don't mind at all, and I'm Mai. Single but a career-driven woman, I don't prioritized my love life. Do you still want to be only available for me?"

"Of course."

He flashed his annoying trademark smug smirk.


"Awww~~ I'm glad! Jou-chan really came!" Bou-san comically sobbed, the group discreetly watched the two in the balcony. They were both smiling, and laughing.

"Mama is with the bad guy!" Amy exclaimed, she was sitting on Ayako's lap. During the party, the group distracted Amy to play with them, and to separate her from Mai while Naru was making his move.

"He's not a bad guy, Amy-chan." Gene smiled at the kid. "He's an idiot but he's not a bad guy, and he might become your papa one day!"

Amy frowned at the twin, then glance at the balcony. Amy suddenly jumped from Ayako's lap and run towards the two, she won't let the bad guy hogged her mama Mai the whole night!
