The God's Chef ~Intoxicating Desire~ BETA

Chapter 7

Tsukasa sat next to Rei as he silently observe the moonlight hitting her eyes. Twinkling brightly in the morning from eating his food made him feel all happy and embarrassed inside. Looking at her eating his dishes one by one, the more he steals quiet glances of her, the deeper he falls into her trap. She is after all, like a enchantress.

"Seriously Tsukasa I don't understand why your so worried to have people eat you food. Even though it is pretty much cold, it only leaves me wondering if this can already be better than it is!" Sipping the consumée with the help of a golden soup spoon, Rei glances happily at Tsukasa. His heart skips a beat every time her eyes sparkles more than it did before because of his food he made.

"B--but I can always improve it." Looking down bashfully, he sets his fork and knife down.

"What? The consumée or your beef Wellington?" Turning to her right, she tilts her head as she holds the spoon vertically in front of her lips. 'Cute,' Tsukasa looks up from his hands and sees Rei taking a piece of his food. With shocked expression, he was about to call out to her until she beat him to it. "The puff pastry is wrapped perfectly around the beef and the mushroom mixture around it is spread evenly. You've cooked the beef for exactly forty three minutes in order to keep it medium rare. You've seasoned it to perfection and the puff pastry would have been crispy if eaten right away." Rei closes her eyes and concentrates. "However, you've put a milligram too much salt on the beef and cooked it for two minutes and fifty milliseconds too much. You've let the mushrooms alone in a bowl of water for too long, making them loose it's natural flavour. Not just that, your puff pastry is imperfect. The amount of pressure you've put into kneading the dough and the amount of butter is slightly off. You can ask Akanegakubo-senpai to help you with that because it's really dragging your dish down. I know that you're known to have the food speak to you, have them void of any emotions, create a unique blend of flavours and ect. but that's your biggest downfall of them all." Cutting another piece of meat, she puts it into her mouth. "To all those food testers out there, you will pass with outstanding colours and even Nakiri Erina-san who possesses the God's tongue won't find any flaw with it. I think it's acceptional since your a French cuisine chef and that this beef Wellington originated in England so it's only natural that you're not absolutely perfect."

Tsukasa listens to Rei pinpoint every single flaw of his dish. With wide eyes, an idea popped into his head. "Ah! I've said too much!" Suddenly remembering where she was, Rei pushes up her glasses and looks back at her consumée. Brining a full spoonful to her lips, she sips it.

"Rei-san," Rei almost choked from the soup when she heard Tsukasa a dressed her like that. "S--sorry!"

"It's okay. I'm just surprised that's all." Wiping her lips with a napkin, she glances back at him and waits for him to continue.

"Ho--how abo--about... you work for me as my aide...." at the near end of his sentence, he spoke softly, he is sure that Rei isn't able to hear since no one can when he speaks that softly.

"Well, sorry but I can't." Refusing him flat out, she apologises. "Don't get me wrong, but it's just that I came to Totsuki in order to find out what my dishes are lacking." Tsukasa felt his heart deflate like a balloon. Standing up sadly, he walks to the fridge.

"Do you want any water or juice? I only have lemon flavoured water though." Opening the fridge, he takes out a large jug filled with water with lemon slices in it and walks back to the table.

Rei chuckles softly from hearing another rant coming out of his mouth. Smiling weirdly overjoyed, she stands up quickly and turned while at it. "I'll--AHHH!" Because she was quick in getting up, she hits the jug of water and it falls right in front of her. Water hits the tops of her white shirt and the floor, making Tsukasa slip while at hit. His body fell on top of hers which hits the table like an embarrassing scene that suddenly came out of a manga. With Rei sitting up, hands behind her on the ground to support her body weight and the extra weight in front of her, her whole upper shirt is drenched with cold water as her legs are wide open with a certain silver headed man in it. With his head digging deep into her shockingly ample breasts and hands clinging onto her baggy shirt, pulling it down, both of their eyes widens.
