Chapter 70: Chapter 70

Barbara is dying to go back to the kitchen to see what Dante is up to, she noticed that Jayden must have left but Dante didn't come to check on her and he might scold her again if she try to check on him.

Staying for another thirty minutes, her patient had run out, she try to stand then the door open, revealing Dante with the tray of food.

You really are very stubborn.

I was... She pin her lips together, Dante drop the food on the bed

I didn't want you to stress, so I thought of bringing your meal here, let's eat. Barbara move to were the meal is, she watch Dante as he serve her the meal.

Here, have this. He stretch the spoon to her, she look at him then grab it.

Is that how you treat all your women? Dante look at her.

This is my first time of doing such kind of thing, I am a very busy man, flirting is not my thing, I really don't have that luxury of doing things with the opposite sex. You should not have ideas in your head about me and those numerous female you think I have.

Are you flirting with me? Barbara raised her head, making her face come closer to Dante, she watch his perfect jawline so close, she bit her lips, as he really look sexy.

Barbara stop staring and eat, your food is not on my face. Barbara fall her face fast and start eating, Dante move from her to get the dessert.

Barbara, stop lusting after him, it will do you more harm than good. When Dante return back the meal was silent, that is how Dante always have his meal.

Hm! This is good! I love it. She mumbled, Dante look at her, he doesn't even know what to comment, so he just kept quiet.

You cook so well. Barbara comment again, she wants him to say something, Dante is not ready to speak but deep down in his heart, he is happy that Barbara loves his cooking and she is enjoying it. Do you have a girlfriend? Barbara asked, since the first part did make him speak, he raised his face and look at her. Come on tell me and tell me what you do for a living.

Didn't Mr Calvin tell you, that it's bad manner to talk while eating? She pin her lips together. Dante gasped for air at least, she could stop nagging him about girls and what he really is into, he wants to tell her about himself, telling her the truth about himself will lead to revealing the reason behind his actions, he is too scared of telling her the reason he agree to be her boyfriend.

They eat in silent, after the meal Dante drop the dish in the dish washer, he make his way back to his room, he is busy with his phone and laptop.

Have he already left? Barbara murmured as she struggles with her hurt ankle back to search for Dante, she pushed his door without knocking.

Do you need anything? He asked still focus on his laptop.

No! Yes... Dante raised his eyes to look at the confused girl. Sorry, I will go back to my room.

It's fine, come here. She make her way to Dante who had given her the invite, instead of sitting on the couch, she sit closed to Dante. Is your foot still hurting?

Abit, but it's fine, it will suppress completely with time.

Let me see. He grabbed her foot then start massaging it, Barbara look at him, raising his eyes up, he could see that Barbara is admiring him. Why do I feel that you are admiring me?

Of cause, I am... She closed her mouth, blurting out those rubbish, Dante smile at her childishness, his smiled is bright and beautiful, pushing Barbara into another round of admiration. You should smiled more often, it look good on you and it will make you more approachable.

Really? He move closer to her. Why then do I smile more to you, yet you are far from me?

Of cause not, you are my friend even though I know nothing about you, I want us to be closer but you keep giving me the cold shoulder, you should know friendship is been sincere with one another and it's a two way coin, you give and take.

Seriously!

Of cause, you can't keep forcing yourself on someone that doesn't want you, you only give your friendship to someone who is ready to take it. Relationship shouldn't be one sided. Dante face is more closer now, any little mistake, their lips will touch and that might be deliberately walking into the lion den, Dante is dying to kiss her, the closeness is giving him goosebumps.

So you are saying our friendship is give and take? Dante remarks is cunning yet she nodded to him like an idiot.

Hm! So whatever I give in this supposed friendship is what you will give me in return? She nodded wholeheartedly, raising her pinky finger as a sign of promise, Dante smiled then inch closer, causing her to move backwards, using her elbow to support herself on the bed.

He stared at her, watching her innocent childish look, her face looks all angelic and divine, and that smiling puppy eyes of hers, is like personal torment for him.

Barbara, what will I do with you? He said mentally he move further, causing Barbara to lie flat on the bed, he comes on top of her, her eyes bulge out, he move his hand on her waist, she close her eyes in shock.

What are you doing? She asked pressing her lips together.

Your ankle, I want to massage it. He lie, Barbara look at him, that is her waist not her ankle, he noticed her gaze. Ahem! I only want you to relax when I do it, she nodded in shyness, Dante trace his hand to her ankle, Barbara closed her eyes, she have no idea what Dante is doing to her.

He run his finger on her ankle in a way that send shiver to her.

Stop it! It's tickles. She said looking all embarrass.

He smiled in his head knowing her feet were erogenous. He trace his hand to her upper legs, Barbara raised her body up abit, he had to stop, he too is no longer comfortable with what he is doing, he is greatly affected and he might not be able to control himself.

Tell him to stop! Her inner self echoed, she shakes her head. How can Barbara tell him to stop when her body long shameless for the touch of this naughty boy reckless behavior, she will be an hypocrite if she act like she really wants him to stop, she is still battling with herself when Dante voice echoed in her head

You are very beautiful.

Huh... Oh...

Is that how you replied a compliment. He said even when Barbara is still struggling to look for the best words to used.

You see, you the one who doesn't want to get comfortable with me, if you keep ignoring my compliment, how is it going to work?

Hm! You always look dashing and it is not a new thing with those ladies hollowing around you, you should know the obvious. Barbara comment, Dante narrow his eyes on her, Barbara is really the smart one, no wonder her dad gave her that big responsibility.

He look at her, yet again his hand is touching her skin dangerously, with her exposed legs, he move further, Barbara closed her eyes, watching her express, he thought of claiming her lips. His phone ring.

No! Dante stop it. He scolded himself then move fast from her, he is not ready to devour this innocent soul in front of him, is that really true or his phone brought sanity to him.
