DIVINE

chapter 15

Maria's pov:
The effect he has on me is something out of this world. I never felt that kind of tension before.

That night we managed to make a lot of pasta after all and all of us ate happily. I got to know the boys better and honestly, like I said before, it didn't even feel like they worked in the mafia.
We were now on the terrace at his mansion, just talking. Of course there were moments of comfortable silence but I broke it wanting to tell him something important.
-The stars are so beautiful, I could watch them forever.

-I could watch you forever.
He said.

I just looked at him gently. The night breeze was so soft, caressing our faces. This only made my bangs move and every time I tried to arrange them back he just laughed at me.

-You know, It's incredible how I forget about all when I am with you.
He said.

-I also wanted to say that, it's just, I firstly couldn't believe you can be like that.
-What do you mean, love?
-Soft.
-Soft?
-Yeah, gentle.
-Neither did I. I guess you change me in a better way. Only you.
He said the last part looking at me intensely.
-You know, those weeks, when we didn't talk, it felt like hell to me. I wanted to see you, be in your presence. Now? I can't believe we are here, I can't believe that I can look into your eyes and hold you.
He then grabbed my face gently and kissed me again.
-What are you doing to me?
He whispered.
-Depends, mister Jung. What do you want me to do?
That only made him grab me again, this time the kiss only transforming in a more intense one.

That night he drove me home and he only left when I was inside.
Then, day by day, we got closer and closer. Messages, flowers, gifts, dates, late night drives.
We always forgot about the other things, when I was with him everything changed, the world was ours. And I could never imagine being with someone and feeling that way. How could I? I never knew how to express my feelings, not even knowing how to accept a compliment. Who would've thought that one day I will actually get a boyfriend, and who would've thought that he will be a mafia leader. A bit fucked up, in a good way, of course.

Me and him always discussed the dangers of it, but I couldn't care less. Day by day, my feelings for him got stronger and I think I learned easily what my feelings meant. The confusion from the beginning wasn't as big as it used to be, I felt alright with him all the time.
I guess we were both learning.

I was currently going to my job, having a new case to work on. Honestly this case stressed me a bit, I even worked until it was really late and somehow it's like Woo Young felt I was awake. He texted me ,, Go to sleep, you should rest, love"
or ,, Don't overwork " it made my heart warm.

I grabbed my papers and entered the building ready to talk with my coworkers about the case.

Woo Young's pov:
Things are slow between me and her , but I couldn't ask for more. We both enjoyed every moment we spent together. I would never do something without her wanting me to do it and I would do anything for her. I liked her since the first moment I saw her, but every day it gets stronger and stronger. I hate to be far away from her. I need her.

I saw enter the building, going to her job. She was so beautiful, she always was. She dressed so formal when she went to work. Today she wore a pen skirt with a matching shirt, such an elegant woman I thought.

Yeah, I do that often. I follow her everywhere when she is not with me. I gotta know she is safe and that no one touches her. One day she went to get an ice cream before going home, there was a guy who kept staring and oh my, didn't he end up in my basement dying from my torture later.

I am not crazy, or maybe I am but, she is mine.

After I saw her enter the building, I went home, now being relaxed knowing she is okay.

Maria's pov:
It's been hours and I had a strong headache and
I was really hungry because I didn't eat a lot this morning.
Suddenly, a notification grabbed my attention. I looked at my phone and it was none other than Woo Young. This instantly brought a smile to my face.

,, Hello, love, I miss you. How are you feeling?"
I quickly texted back.
,, Hi Wooyo, not so well."
The phone light up immediately.
,, What? Why? What happened? What's wrong?
,, My head hurts so much and I am so hungry, I didn't take my time to eat well this morning, I was too busy. But it's okay, I leave in an hour."

Seen. He left me on seen. What the fuck?
Minutes passed and I didn't get an answer.
My headache got worse and when I was about to put my head on the table to rest a bit, the door opened loudly making me flinch.

-Maria? Love? There you are!
It was him. He was holding a bag... He brought food...
-Are you okay? Please eat, here I brought a lot of goodies, I will feed you. Never do that again. Stay hydrated too, here I brought water too.

He was talking so fast but my eyes didn't move from him. While he showed me what he got there, I couldn't help but admire him. No one ever did that for me, I felt loved. I felt like someone cared about me. I was almost tearing up but he stopped talking noticing me.

-Love? What's wrong?
He asked full of worry now grabbing my hands. My eyes still never left his. Taking courage, I spoke.
-Nothing it's just... I was so sad you didn't answer but there you are standing in front of me with food and... no one did this for me. No one... Thank you.
-This is the bare minimum, Maria. I would do anything for you.
-Would you stay here with me and eat together?
-You don't even have to ask, I was staying anyway.
