I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Anne woke up when the morning sun started to show her might. She had fallen asleep on the sofa while doing the assignment from the lecturer that had to be submitted this morning. Because she didn't want to be late going to campus, Anne then got ready. So she decided to make a sandwich for breakfast. It was the easiest food she usually made when she was lazy to cook. When she finished making the sandwiches, Anne then went into the bathroom. She did not hear her cell phone which kept vibrating due to an incoming call from Leon.

After fifteen minutes, Anne came out of the bathroom. She walked to her room which was on the second floor with her body wrapped in a towel. As she was rushing, she ignored her cell phone again. But Leon really didn't give up. He still tried to contact Anne repeatedly since last night, but because Anne's cell phone was on vibrate mode, Anne couldn't hear any incoming calls from anyone at all. 

"Oh, who's coming this early? I still have milk in the fridge, there's no way the uncle comes back, right?" Anne spoke to herself as she quickly put on her clothes when she heard the bell at the door keep ringing. Two days ago, the milk delivery uncle had come to deliver them for her. 

After wearing an oversized t-shirt and ripped jeans, Anne then descended the stairs to the first floor to find out who had pressed the bell for almost two minutes without stopping. Rolling her hair randomly, Anne then opened her apartment door and was surprised to see the male figure who had been ringing the bell of his apartment.

"Good morning."

"It's still very early in the morning, Jack," said Anne grumpily as she crossed her arms across her chest.

"Let's have breakfast. I'm hungry." Jack took out the food that he was hiding behind his body with a big smile, Jack brought food from a fast food restaurant which had been one of Anne's favorite restaurants. 

Seeing Anne was silent, Jack then broke into Anne's apartment without being invited. He entered without hesitation and immediately sat on the sofa after putting down the box containing Anne's favorite seaweed-flavored hamburger and french-fries. 

Since Jack had entered her apartment, Anne couldn't expel him, so she finally relented. She chose to make peace with herself seeing Jack came and went straight into her apartment without her permission. One thing that Anne always insisted on was that Jackson Patrick Muller, the CEO of a large company, was Jack who was just as annoying as Jack, whom she knew since two years ago. that. Therefore, Anne never felt awkward of him even though Jack was currently an important person. For Anne, nothing had changed about Jack. The old Jack and the present Jack were still both arrogant and bossy, although she had several times received unexpected treatment from Jack. 

"Anne, get me a plate! I'm hungry, and I don't want this food to be cold either!" Jack's voice was loud enough to make Anne woke up again from her reverie.

Without speaking, Anne then closed the door of her apartment and walked to the pantry to get a plate and drinking water for Jack. After joining Jack on the sofa, Anne then took out the food that Jack bought from the wrapper. 

"Okay, it's done, now you eat them," said Anne softly as she pushed the plate filled with food towards Jack.

"Let's eat, Anne, you and I. My intention to come to your apartment is to have breakfast together, not for me to eat alone," Jack said quickly.

"I've made sandwiches for breakfast, so…"

"Well, then I don't want to eat." Jack interrupted Anne's words quickly as he crossed his arms across his chest.

Anne sighed to see Jack sulking. Because she did not want to continue arguing with Jack until noon, Anne finally gave in. She grabbed a cheeseburger and ate it without speaking. 

"Good girl," Jack said softly, praising her for what she was doing. Jack finally grabbed his burger on the plate.

"Good girl," said Anne quietly, repeating Jack's words of praise.

"Hahaha! Please don't sulk, just eat your food," Jack said again with a mouth full of meat and bread.

"You're the one sulking, not me," said Anne curtly.

Jack smiled at Anne's words. Because his mouth was still full of food, Jack had to focus on eating. He didn't want to fight with Anne this early. His purpose to come to Anne's apartment was to add to his good mood reserves. Because Jack was silent and only ate, Anne focused on her food while occasionally glancing at the clock on the table.

"After breakfast, I'll take you to campus, you don't have to worry," Jack said softly, as if he could read what was on Anne's mind.

"No need, Jack, I can bring my own car. Besides, I have to go to the shop later, I don't want to take a taxi to go to the shop after school," said Anne quickly.

"You come with me. Your car will be brought behind us. Don't argue with me anymore, Anne, I don't like being argued," Jack replied flatly as he wiped his lips with a tissue that Anne had prepared beforehand.

"But, Jack…"

"Going to college with me or we'll stay together in your apartment?" Jack asked quickly interrupting Anne's words.

"With you," answered Anne succinctly.

"What, Anne? I did not hear what you said just now." asked Jack back, bringing his ear towards Anne.

"I'm going with you, Jack!!!!!" Anne screamed loudly right in Jack's ear in annoyance. 

Jack immediately covered his ears with his hands as soon as Anne shouted. He looked uncomfortable with what Anne was doing. 

"I can still hear clearly, Anne, you don't need to shout like that," Jack said softly as he continued to touch his ear.

"That's the punishment for a dictator like you," replied Anne guiltlessly as she grabbed the glass that was on the table and drank it quickly to soothe her dry throat.

"As long as you're happy, I'm willing to suffer, Anne ..."

Cough

Cough

Cough

Jack could not finish his words because Anne immediately coughed. She choked on hearing Jack's words. Seeing Anne choking, Jack raised an eyebrow. He really didn't like Anne being careless like that. Without speaking, Jack then shifted towards Anne, then patted Anne's back slowly to make Anne comfortable.

"You're not a child, Anne. How can you choke while drinking water?" Jack said curtly with a rising tone.

"I-it's your fault I-I'm so…"

"Don't talk just yet," Jack said again, cutting off Anne's words.

Anne, who lowered her head as she sat down as she was patted on the back by Jack, closed her mouth after hearing Jack's words. She was very uncomfortable right now. Choking on the water made her look like a child who had just started drinking with a glass.

"Don't act stupid, Anne, the first person who will feel pain when you do something stupid like that is me," said Jack quietly as he stopped his hand movements because Anne had looked much better.

"Jack ..."

"I'm serious, Anne. I'm the first person to be in pain when you get hurt," Jack said quickly.

Anne, who was still lowering her head, lifted her face and looked at Jack deeply, and she said, "Don't be so nice to me, Jack. Don't make me depend on you."
