9• Dinner For Two

My eyes fluttered open to adjust to the morning light that was shining through the crack between my curtains. I turned my head to find Cillian still asleep. He was laying on his stomach, with one arm wrapped around my stomach and the other tucked under his pillow. I quietly slid off the bed, trying my best not to wake him. He was a very light sleeper.

I snuck off to use the bathroom the  to wash face and brush my teeth. I woke up with some motivation so after I made my way to my art room. Grabbing one of my sketchbooks and a pencil before going back to my room.

Quietly, sitting back down on the bed. I began to sketch Cillian in his peaceful state. Drawing the flexed muscles of his back and up to the side profile of his face. Getting as much detail as I could before he moved or woke up.

A few minutes passed before Cillian began to shift around. He made a low groaning noise before slowly opening his eyes. He looked up at me and smiled.

"What are you doing, love?" He asked, in his low morning voice, which I find very sexy.

"I was just drawing."

He reached for notebook. "Me again?" He turned it around to look at it. He grew a big smirk. "I knew it." Shaking his head and smirking. He turned to lay on his back, still holding my notebook. Looking at it silently.

Then finally looking to me as he handed the sketchbook back. Eyes examining me even more. "Your so beautiful Lena." He reached up and put a hand to my left cheek. Thumb rubbing my cheekbone. "The most beautiful girl I've ever seen." He muttered, staring deep into my eyes

Making me blushing I turned my head away. "Your too sweet Cillian."

"I'm only speaking the truth." He smiled. Leaning over, kissing from my shoulder then up to my cheek.

Cillian had to go to the office for a couple of hours for an emergency meeting. Something about some unhappy associates. He said I didn't have to join him. Considering my legs were feeling like jello from the night before.

After a long warm bath my body had felt a lot better. So I decided I wanted to make dinner for me and Cillian. I am not much experienced in cooking so I asked Miss Jenny to come over to help me. Cillian mentioned he loved pasta so I immediately knew I wanted to make that. Thankfully Miss Jenny is Italian so she had the perfect authentic recipe.

"This is one of my grandmother's recipes. One of the best pastas I've ever had." She said as we brought the groceries inside my kitchen.

Miss Jenny is one of the best cooks so she must have been taught by her grandmother. She has always brought me dinner or lunch whenever she knows I'm too busy working. She knows I have the bad habit of forgetting to eat. Getting so focused on my art the hours just pass like minutes to me until I'm too exhausted and often fall asleep on the floor.

"I'm just glad you've found someone that makes you smile Lena." Miss Jenny smiled at me as she sautéed some vegetables. Meanehile I was shredding some cheese.

"Yes, me too. Cillian is really the best."

"So are you two.. official? Like dating?"

I thought for a second. "I don't know. We haven't had an actual conversation about that."

"Well I guess tonight would the perfect time." She smiled stirring the pot of sauce.

Cillian called to say he was on his way. His office wasn't too far so I had to finish getting ready. I quickly finished up my hair as Miss Jenny plated everything at the table. She quickly made her way out before Cillian got there. She wanted him to think I did this all by myself.
