I beg to differ that.", I sassed and got out of his grip ready to move out of the room when he pulled me by my elbow and the next second I was pushed on the visitor's chair.
He trapped me completely by keeping his palms on the arms of the chair.
"I...

I never thought I'd say something like that but today I can't help myself but say, Nicolas Arnold was the most thoughtful and understanding person I'd ever met in my life.
After that little conversation we had in my bathroom, he told me to freshen up and come outside and when I did, I was left stunned. He and Kia were cooking something.
"... our Ari is a little upset today, we need to lighten her mood.", I heard him say when I stepped near the kitchen.
Our?
I don't know but that single world made me grow all warm.
I glanced at him who had an apron on over his clothes, his eyes fixed on the stove as if he looked away for even a second, he'll screw up the whole food. Kia was troubling him by putting ingredients here and there or on his face.
And in return, he'd just scowl at her. He never shouted at her.
"Isn't my Nicky uncle a perfect hubby material, Ari?", Kia's words rang in my ears and I couldn't help but agree with it.
He was indeed perfect in every possible sense.
As if he knew someone was gaping at him, he turned and I couldn't help but chuckle at his face, his nose had ketchup, courtesy to Kia. He gave me an inquisitive look as to why I was laughing. I slowly went close to him and flicked his nose with my finger, "You look like a clown."
"mhm.", he smirked as he tilted his head and rubbed his nose with mine. My cheeks heated as I tried to resist the urge to hide my face. "You're blushing due to me." The f*cking blush grew deeper.
My heart pounded in my chest at how much he had gotten from me with that single sentence. I need to find a way to get back to him but bloody hell! I was not able to think about anything." Kia.", I blurted taking a step back as if I'd committed a crime."Kia is calling for me."
I sprinted inside the kitchen and quickly grabbed a glass of water. "Ari." Kia shot a sweet smile my way, "Nicky uncle made breakfast for you. Looky.", she eagerly grabbed my hand and started showing me all that Nicolas made.
It was a perfect vegetarian breakfast. With beans, bread, and a salad. I smiled at him who had now wiped the ketchup off his face, much to my dismay.
Such a buzzkill.
He pulled a chair for me to sit, then he made Kia sit gently and offered her some milk. He served food for me and Kia and then he looked at me with a curious look on his face. I raised an eyebrow."I just, it's the first time I cooked something for a woman other than my Mama and Kia." He looked like a kid doing his first chemical test in a lab, nervous and unsure.
"I feel special." I really did. No man had ever done something like he did for me. That's a different thing that whatever he did made my heart skip its beat.
"You always have been.", my lips curved up into a soft grin as I took a bite and savoured it. He was a great cook was a complete understatement, his every work was a display of perfection. "It's amazing."
