The God's Chef ~Intoxicating Desire~ BETA

Chapter 12

The way how they worked in perfect sync and grace was like watching someone dance. Unlike Yukihira and Tadokoro, they were slower, more elegant and more entrancing to watch. With their sleeves pulled up, their knifes shines brightly as their fingers moves in a specific spot.

Everyone watched the pair prep their work. Even if they were just cutting the vegetables or washing them, boiling, drying, their eyes stayed glue to the shining couple.

The smiles on Tsukasa and Morihika's lips are soft. The way how they held their knifes are gentle as they carefully cut the vegetables. It was prominent, the glow on their faces and the gentle light they emitted. Even Yukihira, Tadokoro and Shinomiya glances at them from time to time.

They haven't spoke. They handed each other things that they wanted like they read the other person's mind. They glide to the other side of the counter like they were skating on ice, just how a style skater would.

'I cannot hold Rei back.'

Tsukasa carefully makes sure whatever he cuts are the right shape. He still questions why Rei picked that dish to make in the first place, however he trusts her. With the confession of love not to long ago, it made him pour all is effort, concentration and love into the food, like he was handling something precious.

The way how he cooked before compared to now is drastic. It's now more elegant, refined and beautiful to watch. He made sure to keep the words Rei told him earlier.

"I want you to handle the food like your handling me." Rei keeps a firm gaze at Tsukasa as she begins to walk to the back.

"But, I'll be cutting you, cooking you, a--"

Rei glances back at him with a loving smile. "Only you can do this Eishi. I'll reward you later, okay?" Winking, a slight blush covers Tsukasa's pale cheeks.

"I'll take care of the rest. Just make sure that you'll handle the food like you're handling me."

He didn't know what she meant at first, but the moment he held the knife with his hand. Everything moved by itself. Just when Rei was about to boil the vegetables, it clicked into his mind.

"I'll take care of the rest. Just make sure that you'll handle the food like you're handling me."

To put it simply, Rei wanted Tsukasa to pour all his love into the food. After that, he smiled and glanced at Rei with gentle eyes. Gaining the sudden boost from it, he begins to realise what he was doing wrong his whole life.

'I finally know what they meant.' Rei looks back at Tsukasa concentrating on his task. Handing her what she wanted all along, she takes small glances at his eyes. It was loving, gentle and passionate. Seeing it now made her heart skip a beat.

'I was stupid to believe that love cannot fix anything.' It was what one of her tutors said,

"You need to find someone that makes you want them to eat your food." She disregarded the statement immediately, remembering the times she was with Aizami.

Rei looks at the back of a muscular man. His shoulder length red hair blows back from the wind. "But love cannot fix everything." She remembers her time she cooked for highly influenced people all over the world when she was in Aizami's care. The way how they all moaned and passed our from pure bliss, her cooking always score at the very top.
