I embarrassingly removed my hands from around his neck when I got back to my senses.

I said, "Thank you, umm... actually no one other than my mother had cooked food for me ... so I got a little excited".

He replied, "Don't get awkward. I liked that you hugged me. Well, You wait here till I bring you food. Or you can change to your sleeping clothes because it will take a little time to warm it."

I nodded and he moved towards the kitchen.

I don't know what were his intentions...
Is it even safe to trust him?
What if he had drugged my food?
No, if he would have any bad intentions then he could have done it earlier.
And now I don't have any other option than to trust him.

I went to the bathroom and changed into my tank top and shorts.
First I felt a little uncomfortable about wearing shorts in front of him but then I remembered that all other days also I have been in shorts when he came so it is not a big deal now.

How strange it is that this stranger had seen me in that state in which my closed one also doesn't have.

I should ask his name. It is so weird to call him a stranger.

I sat on the bed when he came holding two plates in his hands.
The amazing smell of the food reached me before him, making me more excited.
He approached me and put the plate in front of me.
Then he sat beside me and said, "My mother told me to cook this pasta. She cooked this very deliciously but I don't know how I had cooked ."
He said the last line while moving his hands to his hair which clearly shows that how nervous he was.

I said, "I am sure your mother is a sweet lady. Let me taste first then I would how better cook you are."

He momentarily paused then moved the plate towards me and said bowing his head dramatically, "Please have a taste, your majesty. "

I chuckled and took the plate.

I took the first bite and my eyes closed unexpectedly while tasting such delicious pasta. It has been so long since I had eaten tasty food because I am not a good cook and most of the time I eat in the college canteen.

But this was just out of the world.
I couldn't stop myself from praising him.

An unexpected moan escaped my mouth when I took another bite.
I said in reflex, "Delicious. Seriously I have never eaten such delicious pasta in my life."

I can tell that he was smiling like a kid under az his mask because the way his grey eyes dilated at the corners, easily showed that he was Smiling.

He said, "I am glad you liked it. "

"I love it," I replied instantly.

I heard him chuckling.
And I swear to God that was the most sweetest sound I have ever heard.

I unintentionally smiled.

I was eating but he was just sitting while looking at me.

After 5 minutes I noticed him staring at me so I asked, " Why are you not eating?"

He said," How will I eat through this mask and I can't take it out ?"

I can feel the helplessness in his voice.
At that time I could have taken advantage of his helpless condition but he cooked food for me and gave me a nice massage so I can do a little for him too.
