Inner Beauty

Chapter 8

Maverik POV

    'Maverik are you okay?' His voice filled with concern voiced through my ears.

'Your eyes...' He scratched his head boyishly, 'Um... so I kinda was crying when i was cutting the onion so the lenses got rubbed off my eyes and I don't have another pair here.'

He stood up and came closer to feel my forehead and all i could hear was my heartbeat increasing with every step he took towards me.

I had to literally stop myself from throwing my body at him and having my way with him.

His eyes were a similar color to a lime and now his scent finally made sense.

'Beautiful, ' those words escaped my mouth before I could stop it and his fair skin was now spotted in a shade of red.

I couldn't help but blush at my sudden thought which I vocalized.

He cleared his throat whilst still blushing lightly, 'I'll go and prepare the food now and it's 7pm if you are wondering about the time, the rest of the guys are downstairs gaming, if you want to join them you can and if you want to rest I will bring you food to bed.'

As he was about to walk off after being so adorable, I stopped him.

'I'm coming downstairs,' that came out weird as I blushed harder at the innuendo.

He walked in front of me and I couldn't help but check him out.

He seems pretty fit, why is he wearing oversized outfits to college?

Maybe it's comfortable?

But it doesn't make sense as other guys would do the complete opposite if they had a build anywhere close to Atticus'.

As I was stuck in my thoughts I bumped into Atticus' back for the second time as he said 'You can go down that hallway to the gaming room, I am going to the kitchen.'

I watched as he walked off to his destination and I walked towards the gaming room.

As soon as I heard Korren and Waylen's loud voices I knew there is no way I'm entering that place, I don't want my migraine to be back.

So I made my way down in the same direction as Atticus.

It took me a while to find the kitchen but I made it using the wonderful aroma of food being prepared.

I silently sat at the island and watched Atticus work his magic.

He looked like a husband preparing breakfast in bed for his wife with that frilly apron.

I was admiring his back muscles, never realizing how wide his shoulders were and his arm muscles flexing whenever he grabbed something. He suddenly stiffened as he acknowledged my presence.

I swear I didn't make any noise, this man is very observant indeed.

So I had to make myself known, 'You look hot when you are cooking.'

I knew I should have kept my mouth shut, now I sound like a pervert drooling over his body. I mean I am drooling over his body but not in a pervatic way.

He gave me a rare smile while raising an eyebrow, 'Do I?' He walked towards me. 'Now tell me what part of me looks hot when I cook' I visibly gulped as his hand grabbed my jaw pulling me in for a...

'Maverik? Are you okay? Do you need me to give you some water?' I take it back.

I am a pervert but only for Atticus. I grinned at him and shook my head.

We both were having a small talk while he fed me some sauces asking me for my opinion.

I guess this is how endearing it would feel for Waylen huh.

Repeat after me people! I must make him mine NO MATTER WHAT!

'What is this lovey dovey atmosphere we are sensing right now?'

Seriously Korren can't you let a man do some flirting?

He is so bad at reading the room, Odelle also smacked his arm, I guess they had been there for a while.

Atticus' face held a red hue while he was being teased by Amell and Korren.

When did they get close? I guess gaming really brings people together huh.

We were served piping hot lasagna in a small baking dish so we all can have our own crispy edges, how thoughtful.

'Don't worry, for those who are lactose intolerant, I used cheeses which had little to no dairy so you are fine.'

You can guess what I have to say next.

I must make him mine NO MATTER WHAT!

We all dug into what tasted like a dish which a Michelin chef would make, a real husband material.

I sent Korren a look and he immediately understood what I meant.

Time to kick start my plan.
