DIVINE

chapter 8

Maria's pov:
I could literally feel my cheeks burning for what just happened and I tried to lie to myself so I can just calm down. But he he ld me so I wouldn't fall and it felt like a movie scene. Like a line in a romance book you read in a summer hoping to feel something. He was eating but I couldn't even touch the food, I was so nervous and what was worse is that he knew that I was staring and also the fact that I was so confused because of what was happening to me.

He seemed to like my cooking and he smiled once in a while. My thoughts were interrupted then by his raspy voice.
- Aren't you hungry? he asked a bit smirking . I thought you were.
- Oh yeah, I was just waiting for you to tell me what you think about the food.
I lied. He knew I was lying too.
He smiled again.
- The food is amazing, darling.
And just like that he made my cheeks heat up again.

After a while it was the time for him to leave, he said he has some business and the curiosity inside of me faded as soon as I remembered who he was again. I felt stupid at the moment, what was I doing? I just met that man, he is my client and he is a mafia leader for fuck's sake. I invited him in my home and I am talking to him like we are so close. I didn't know what I was feeling, neither did I know what I could get myself into. I am a calculated person, I am very aware of what I say and do so what I was doing right now? Is because of my issues? I always push people away when I feel happy because I am afraid it will end soon, but now? Was it like that again? Because what I felt when I was around him was something different, I didn't feel like that before... So I am confused.

Then a random thought hit me. What if he is just nice? What if he doesn't think about me like I think about him? But wait... How do I even think about him?.. Oh my God I need to stop overthinking right now. I think I should just keep an official relationship with him, he is my client. That will be all, that's the best option. Isn't it?...

- Well, thank you for having me here and for the dinner. I enjoyed it.
He said it smiling while sitting at the doorway.
- Thank you for coming, see you. I said smiling.
He smiled once again and left. Just like that. Could he read my mind? Now I felt that emptiness again. Why?

Woo Young's pov:
I could feel something was wrong. She changed all of a sudden. She was thinking at something it was clear. Did I do something wrong ? I wondered.

I got up and went to the door. Was she like this because of what just happened? She seemed nervous before now she seems just sad. How I wish I knew what was happening but I didn't insist. I left just with a goodbye like a jerk. It was so awkward. Woo Young you are so pathetic I told myself.

I got my keys and entered the car with only my thoughts. What was wrong? Maybe I said something? But she changed her expression so fast she was all smiley and then her face dropped all of a sudden. Maybe she didn't like the flowers? Oh come on that is a stupid reason of course she wasn't sad because of that. But what was it? Why did I was like that too? Why does my mind goes to her every time?... I was so confused.

I just started the car and headed home waiting for the next day.
When I arrived I took a shower trying to forget about what happened. But my mind went to her again... and the way she looked up at me when she almost fell. So while water was pouring over me I sat there with my thoughts and her in my mind and I caught myself wondering what went wrong again. I should find the reason but I can't. Maybe it was just me who knows.
After I worked a bit on my laptop I went to sleep and while I was there, sitting and looking up at the ceiling obviously my mind drifted to a certain lawyer again. So I fell asleep, her in my mind.
