Broken Aphrodite

Chapter 29

 Taking her coat from her , I lead her to the main room . my house is definitely not humbled . she sniffs and looks back at me "what are we having for dinner  ?" .

I smile and motion for her to sit on the couch . "I cooked something . I hope you like it " . her eyes widen and she opens her mouth then closes it then open it again.

" you cook ?" she asks bemused . I nod proudly , what's wrong with a man who cooks ? .

a red color actually creeps up her neck to her cheeks and she looks away . she's acting weird .

"what ? " I ask .

"It's funny that umm a big arrogant CEO can cook " she says making me chuckle .

"It's just cooking Evangeline " . she stands and waves her hand dismissing the subject .

"let me see what you've been cooking" . I take her hand and walk to the kitchen , it's filled with the Fettuccine smell .

"Oh my God what is that" she takes a deep breath filling her lungs with the smell . " Fettuccine Alfredo and spiced bread with salad " . 

"You're so mean" she mutters making me laugh .

"I'm sorry " I say shaking my head at her "you could forget your diet for today " I say and she pulls her hand away .

"I don't have a diet you asshole , I meant that it's delicious food so I'd have to eat in an unladylike way " she smiles shyly , teasingly .

I laugh again "it's no problem for me " she shrugs and walks around to sit on one of the stools , the music is still on and she hums along with it while looking around . Of course I had forgotten how she makes herself comfortable in any place , I remember when she flipped through my car radio .

I shake my head and walk to the counter , taking off the food covers and place the bowls on the bar . I figured we would be eating here so everything is settled except the food and wine . I take the salad and wine from the fridge and place them next to the other plates .

"Impressive Mr.Patterson , you're a good house keeper " she says dipping her finger in the cream then she licks it off . I held back a groan and sit beside her , the meal is ready .

"Watch it Miss Leonard , I don't want to fight after I've won you back " she stares at me as I say this and then she smiles "sorry " . 

We start eating and she keeps making these pleasured arousing sounds , " I have to admit , your food is fucking delicious " she says then sips from her wine .

I smile proudly . "Bonnie loves it too" I say taking a bite . Eva hums beside me "won't blame her " .

We continue eating and talking , she keeps teasing me about knowing how to cook , and I explained to her how I learned from my grand father when I use to spend the summer with him while I was teenager , leaving the reason of staying there for therapy to myself .

Then Max pops into my head and I immediately speak my thought "So you made it up with Max?" I ask twisting my fork in the bowl .

She doesn't answer me for a while and I look at her to find that she's running her finger over the rim of her wineglass .

" Yeah , he apologized and I thought I should forgive him , I don't want any drama , and he really regrets what he's done " she says then looks at me .

"I don't like him and I don't trust him " she laughs at my outburst and shrugs "I do trust him , though this is his last chance , and I do know how much you love each other " she says wiggling her eyebrows .
