Mr. CEO

Chapter 37: Stressed Out

I put my phone aside and looked at myself in the mirror. I'll talk to him about this and help him make decisions. He can't go through this alone. He may seem tough but when it comes to his loved one, he's actually very soft.

I got up and dropped my phone into my purse. I ran out the door and bumped into Tyler who was making his way inside. I fell, scraped my right knee a little bit. Blood started coming out from the scratch as I groaned and bit my lips. It sting so bad. Tyler kneeled down and helped me up.

"Geez, what the rush?" He asked, concerned.

"I gotta go. I'll be back soon" I trembled but managed to stand on my feet. I made my way to my car and drove in an incredibly fast speed.

I got to Daniel's apartment in about 7 minutes. I patiently got out of the car and rang the doorbell aggressively. Daniel opened the door, he looked at me with the most miserable face I've seen. I gulped and looked at him with a serious face. He needs me so I gotta be strong for him. I knew the look on his face already got me weak but if I show it, it'll make him even more disappointed. He opened his mouth, about to say a word but I barged in through a tiny space between his right arm and the door. He turned back and closed the door, taking a deep breath with hands covering his forehead.

"So you saw the news" He said, grinning emptily. It was the saddest grin I've heard from anyone ever. I ignored his words and headed to the kitchen. My intention was to come here and cook dinner for him. I knew he wouldn't find something to eat himself. I did that to myself too many time when I'm sad. I can't just let him starve to death when he has work to do. The competition is coming really close, I need him to stay strong for me and the other contestants.

"Have you eaten anything?" I asked him the question that your grandma always ask you when you stay-over even though I knew he didn't eat.

"Tiffany, I'm sorry" He apologized, but it didn't stop me from making food for him.

"I'm making dinner. Go watch TV or something" I opened the fridge to find some uncooked spaghetti so I decided to take it out and boiled them. I'm going to try my best and put my heart into this spaghetti unlike any other dishes I've ever made.

Daniel seem to calmed down and watched TV. Knowing him as a stubborn person, he might not paying attention to the screen at all. I was getting sadder and sadder knowing that there's no way I could help him. Am I doing the right thing? Should I just leave and give him space? I don't know, this is my first relationship. I've never experienced different types of guys so how the hell am I suppose to guess his feeling. Some guys want to be alone when some want their significant others by their side. Guys are just as confusing as girl. That's all I know for sure.

The spaghetti was done, I plopped it on a plate and put sauce on top, you know, the main ingredients. I went to the living room with the tray in my hand and slowly placed the spaghetti down in front of Daniel. He wasn't excited about it but I can tell that some parts in his heart were really impressed with the food. I sat beside him, waiting for him to taste it but no matter how long I waited, he refused to eat and kept staring blankly at the TV screen. I snatched the remote control from the coffee table and turned off the TV. I picked up the fork, twisted the spaghetti around and put it up to his mouth.

"Don't be stubborn! You need to eat! I made this specially for you" I tried to fake a cheeky smile. I can't take this anymore. My anger and impatience will burst anytime soon.

Daniel's POV

I stared at her shaky hand, holding a fork up to my mouth. I was unsure of what to do. I hesitated to open my mouth. She doesn't understand. I don't want food right now!

Her hand became shakier each seconds I've waited. I looked up and saw her teary eyes, smiling sadly at me. That was the moment I knew I was being the worst boyfriend ever in the entire history. My eyes were wide because she looked......
