Chapter 18: Chapter 18

I touched her cheek and move my face closer; I kissed her but just a smack. This woman’s lips are addicting me, what’s wrong with me?!

“Y-You said you won’t do a-anything?” she pout her mouth, so I looked down and stared at her lips again.

“I remember we couldn’t continue what we were supposed to do earlier-- ouch!!” I groaned when she slapped my forehead using her left palm.

“S-Sorry, it’s because there’s a mosquito.” I touched her cheek and move my face closer; I kissed her but just a smack. This woman’s lips are addicting me, what’s wrong with me?!

I looked at her badly. “Is there really a mosquito or did you mean it?!”

“N-No! There’s really a mosquito! Look at this.” She showed me her palm and a dead mosquito was stuck in her palm with a little blood on it.

That damn mosquito is pissing me off! She’s, or he’s ruining our moment in here! Annoying!

“Just forget it!” I turned my back on her and tried to close my eyes. A few minutes later, I still couldn’t sleep.

I looked at Alyana who is now asleep...? What the-- seriously? You fall asleep in this situation?

“Arrgg! I want to choke you right no--“ suddenly I was frozen when she hugged me.

Is she really awake or awake? I mean, asleep?

“Alyana?” I swallowed as she moved even closer to me and I can now feel her tits hitting my hard chest. Jesus, I think she wants to kill me! Is she torturing me huh?! Tf, it’s better to slap me than doing this god!

“Calm down Stephen, you can do-- sh*t! I can’t!” I pushed her softly and immediately ran to the bathroom.

Just a few minutes later, I came out of the bathroom and picked up my cellphone when it suddenly rang.

“Hello?”

[Love--]

“It’s already late at night, aren’t you informed?”

She’s just nobody. I don’t even know her name. Maybe if I saw her she will look familiar.

[Wow, don’t you miss me??]

“Why would I f**king miss you? Do I know you?” I held the phone away from my ear because of her voice. This woman just scream! Damn, my ears hurt!

I took my phone when it suddenly rang again.

“What the heck! I’m not a vampire or a ghost, so don’t call me this kind of hour--” I stopped when I heard her voice.

[Sir, it’s me Hannah.]

She’s my secretary, she’s also my cousin, so I can’t f**k her okay.

“Oh, why did you get called?” I asked seriously.

[I just want to ask when are you coming back?]

“You’ll only know when you’ve seen me in the office and please, Hannah! How many times do I have to tell you that don’t call me this kind of hour!”

[I’m sorry, Sir.]

“By the way, how’s the company?”

[Still the same Sir but I think you need to come back as soon as possible because many meetings have already been canceled, then many people want to set up meetings with you and lastly you know Sir that they’re not just ordinary people--]

I just yawned because of drowsiness. “Yeah, goodbye.” That’s all I said and turned my phone off.

I lay beside Alyana again and just stared at her face.

_

Alyana Perez’s Pov.

I opened my eyes and looked around. I turned to look at Stephen, who was still snoring. I don’t know if I’ll laugh at him because his mouth is a little open. I slowly left the room and went to the kitchen. I bite my lower lip while thinking.

He said that I’ll only do or say something if he allowed me too. But... I badly want to cook. I got used to doing everything at home. Especially at cooking.

Okay, I’ll what I want to do right now! I’ll just bear if he yells at me again.

I was walking around Stephen’s house and I saw another refrigerator. I’m curious what is inside that ref, so I open and look at it. I saw a lot of vegetables.

I took some of it and started cooking pinakbet then after cooking; I prepared plate and spoon on the table.

“What’s that??” I hold my chest because of shock. He slowly walked closer to me and his eyes were looking at what I just cooked.

“What f**k? Garbage?! Is that a trash?” He pointed at the pinakbet.

Garbage? Trash? What is he talking about?! How dare he called this food trash or garbage! He shouldn’t call vegetables trash or whatsoever.

“It’s called Pinakbet.”

“What’s Pinakbet?”

Do you really live in the Philippines? Even just pinakbet he doesn’t know? Doesn’t he eat vegetables? Wait, don’t tell me that he only eats meat!? How can you be healthy if you only eat meat?

Am I going to be his mother now? Hmm, it looks like I need to teach him things he doesn’t know and he hasn’t tasted yet.

“Don’t you eat vegetables?” I asked.

“Do you think I eat something like that? He asked back and even raised an eyebrow at me.

“And I don’t want to eat that now. You might put poison on it!” I almost dropped my jaw because of what he said.

Poison? Why would I put poison there? And then where do I get poison? Is it free or do I still need to buy it? I don’t even have money to buy a band aid and now he’s talking about poisons!

“Of course not! There’s no poison in that.” I just frowned and was surprised when he suddenly kissed me on the lips.

“Good morning, by the way.”

I bite my lower lips. “G-Good morning too.” I stammered and sat down on the chair and he sat down, too.

He was just staring at the pinakbet and still raising his eyebrow while looking at it intently, as if he was examining it.

“S-Sorry, I just really want to eat vegetables. That’s why I cook...”

“Did you get that from the other refrigerator?” He asked, and I nodded as an answer.

”It’s not my ref Nanny Daley owns it, not me.”

I suddenly stood up because of shock. “Sorry, I didn’t know—“

“Obviously, but it’s okay. I’ll just pay all you get on that refrigerator.” I thought he’s going to yell at me again but I guess, he’s in the good mood right now.

I just sit again and taste what I cooked.

God, I miss this!

“Psst...” I slowly looked at Stephen.

“Is it delicious??” He asked seriously and still raised an eyebrow.

”Yes, it is.” I answered while nodding my head.

“Who’s more delicious? That or me?” I cough because of his question. I immediately took some water and drank it before answering that question.

“This.” He suddenly frowned because of what I said.

“Are you saying I’m not delicious?” What is he talking about??

”You’re not a food, Stephen.” He looked me in the eye seriously.

I was surprised when he suddenly grabbed the spoon that I was holding. He tastes it using that spoon.

“I-That’s my spoon...” I murmured.

“What?”

“You have your own spoon.” and pointed it.

“I prefer your spoon because it came out of your mouth.” I just kept my mouth shut because the conversation might go far.
