DIVINE

chapter 7

Maria's pov:
When I heard the knock on the door I actually realised how nervous I was.
I stayed for a bit, so he doesn't think that I was waiting at the door... After that I quickly opened it and there he was, standing in front of me with a bouquet of flowers and a pretty smile on his face that immediately made me smile as well. He was dressed comfortably and looked very huggable...
- Hi Woo Young!
- Hello, darling, may I come in?
- Oh yes ,of course, please.
He smiled again and entered my house.
When he passed by me I could smell his cologne again, it fits him so well, I love it.
I locked the door with the flowers in my hand and led him towards my kitchen.

Woo Young's pov:
When I met her face, it's like all of a sudden my heart started beating so fast, for the first time since I was younger I was nervous, I remember feeling anxious only when I was a student and wanted good grades. It felt like all of the worries vanished into thin air.

She was so beautiful, I never saw her in basic clothes obviously but she looked good in everything.
The house smelled so nice and it can easily be said that she is an organised woman of course, the food smelled amazing as well it even made me hungrier.
I felt so comfortable there with her and a thought of me being with her and maybe cooking together made me smile.While I was imagining that, she gently grabbed the flowers and put them in a nice cute vase, after that placing them on the table. That gesture made me like her even more and more not being aware of what she does with me.
She then put the plates on the table while I sat down. I asked her if I can help but she told me that I am her guest, I didn't want her to think that I am a jerk. She also said the food is almost done so I was excited to taste her food.

Maria's pov:
We talked for a bit and I noticed that the food was ready. I was nervous but I also felt comfortable near him. I had no problem whatsoever but if you told me a month ago that I would let the most feared mafia leader to sit in my kitchen and cook for the both of us I would say you are crazy, yet here I am.

Carefully I arranged the food on the plates and served it to my guest. His eyes never left my frame. He even helped me to get some plates since It's kinda hard.
- How do you manage to get things from the shelves then? He asked.
So, forgetting about the title the person in front of me, had I looked into his eyes, smiled and started climbing on the shelves. He was startled by my actions and for a moment I could sense worry in his actions. He got up from the chair and slowly approached me staying near in case I slipped.

I must say that I didn't even notice the action properly, I was busy climbing on my shelve to show him. As he could sense it already, my foot slipped. I panicked, the fall would surely hurt. But the world stopped and I didn't get to meet the ground, he catches me right on time and breathes relieved that he got me. The moment was like the one in the movies. I admit that every time I watched things like that in movies I thought they are dramatic especially the slow motion thing, but trust me when I say, everything felt like slow motion while being there in his arms.
I locked eyes with him and he looked at me intensely.
- Careful miss Viotto, I wouldn't want you to get hurt.
He breathed still looking into my eyes.
-Well... yeah... thank you Woo Young...
I didn't even notice how I held him. One hand of mine holding the back of his neck while he held my waist and the other resting on his toned chest. It's like so many thoughts were going through my head but I couldn't describe.
He smiled softly at me, took a glance at my lips and then left me down slowly.
I felt flustered. I had no words. So I sat quietly at the table, he did the same and took a bite of what I cooked. I sat there silently thinking about what just happened and I thanked myself for opening that window earlier because It suddenly got hot here, from the cooking, I suppose.
I was surprised by the sudden reaction.

- That's so good?! He said.
- No, I am sure you are just nice, but wait you really like it?...
- Obviously darling he said smiling then he took another bite.
I started eating too, but I kept admiring him hoping he won't notice. A strand of his long hair fell on his forehead and I swear I felt in some type of way. I smiled to myself and continued to eat.

Woo Young's pov:
When she slipped it was like my heart stopped beating, I felt that thing, that I should protect her no matter what. The thought of her getting hurt in the slightest way made me anxious and I didn't like it all.
When she was in my arms it felt so right, I felt calm and my heart...don't even get me started. I don't understand why I felt this way, but I did and I didn't regret it. My eyes drifted to her lips, I wanted to kiss her that's what I felt like doing, but so many thoughts were in my head. We met not a very long time ago, we barely knew each other yet I felt like that and It felt like I knew her from a longer time,it felt right.
I left her down slowly and she quickly sat at the table. I wanted to quickly change the atmosphere, so I sat at the table too and started eating.
When I tasted her food I was amazed, it was so good. I let out a happy and satisfied approval. She didn't believe me but I didn't bother to convince her, I was busy with my food. I could sense she realised that I love her food she smiled at me and of course I saw her looking at me. What does she think? I can sense everything, even the fact that she doesn't want me to know that she was staring. Cute.
