Sacred Ties

Chapter Thirteen

Cemil's POV

Choose any place you wish to go to for dinner tonight.

I read the text repeatedly and with a sigh, I dropped my phone on the bed and lay beside it. I didn't know what to answer Zach and I didn't want to answer him. It just didn't feel right for us to go out to any expensive place for the night. I just wanted to bond a bit more with him. He was my first boyfriend and I wanted to know everything about him. Going to such places didn't cut it for me.

Vibrations of my phone brought me away from my thoughts and I lazily turned my phone to see who was calling. I immediately stood up when I saw who was calling and answered it right away.

"Hello."

"Dearest are you mad again?" Zach asked and I frowned. Why would he think that?

"Why?" I asked what was on mind.

"You are not answering my text."

"I might be busy."

"But you are not. So tell me why are you not answering."

"I just.......don't know what to say Zach." I sighed and stood up from the bed.

"Tell me what is on your mind babe."

So I did tell him what was exactly on my mind. I didn't want to choose any fancy place and have it in my memory as my first date place. He laughed when I finished pouring my thoughts to him. I was about yo end the phone call when he asked me, "can you cook dearest?"

"Yes I can cook. Why?"

"Send me what you would like to cook for us this night and I will send all you need to make the food. We can move it to 7pm (19:00) so that you have a good time to get ready and cook." He suggested and I nodded, already liking the idea of cooking.

He ended the call and I quickly texted him what I needed to make beef stew. There was already rice in the house and I was going to serve it with that. I got up and went in the kitchen to get started.

Liam was not in the house at the moment. He went to visit a friend after I willed him to get out of the house for fresh air.

I went out to correct some of the ingredients I needed when the bell rang. Zach had sent one of his guards to buy and deliver them to me. I thanked the guy and went back inside to finish my work.

It was 06:10pm (18:10) when I finished cooking. I had more than fourth minutes to get ready for the night. I quickly packed the food in baskets and set them on the counter. I ran upstairs to my bedroom and got in the shower. My time in the bedroom rushed by and soon I found myself running to the door when the bell rang. It was 07:05pm (19:05) and I didn't mind that he was a bit late.
