Lust and Love

💔19 : "Us"

I'm the luckiest human on earth today. I have escaped from Beau's demand cause unfortunately for his case, Leah is not going anywhere today. She's staying at home because she's kind of having a migraine and she just wants to stay with her boyfriend watching her over. So I just go visit her and drop by few moments just to check out on her.

I feel like, today has something.. Something great.. I just can't make out what it really is but I really feel that today is a special day and I can't explain why. Anyway..

Just as I was leaving from Leah's, my phone rings, indicating a new message. Swiping on the screen, I read:

iMessage from Ryan > Me: It seems to be your happy day today Miss Lopez;)

Shocked by Ryan's text, I look around to see if he's anywhere. Did he just stalk me? I hate being watched, it's creepy. But if it's him..

iMessage from Me > Ryan: Hi Ryan. Do you see me??

His reply was fast.

iMessage from Ryan > Me: I wish I do. Come over and I'll make your day extra special;)

Feeling relieved that he wasn't actually stalking me, I hop in to my car and start the engine. I'm driving for myself. I seldomly do this these days: going to a place, without Alex, or without a driver, without guards. Cause I actually thought I was just going to Leah's house. Going to Ryan's apartment was never in my plans for today.

iMessage from Me > Ryan: Okay, I'm on my way.

I can't help but feel excited. Alex didn't know I go to Ryan's place at certain times and I doubt he would approve if I'll tell him this time. I know this is something sneaky but I can't deny I like it. Ryan is always full of surprises and that's one of the fascinating things about him. And he's overly romantic too.. What am I thinking. We're just friends what the hell.

I drive my way to Beverly Hills. Come over and I'll make your day extra special. I giggle inside.

"Miss Lopez!" Ryan hugs me when he opens the door after I rang the bell.

Hugging back I say, "Hey baby.."

He smells the usual heavenly smell, I can't find the exact words to describe this boy's scent.

"You're just in time! I just finished my surprise for you."

"Is it food again?"

He just grins at me like a naughty kid.

Confirming that his 'surprise' was really about food, I playfully slap him on his face, "You're really pigging me out huh."

"Come on, you'll love it!"

And you know that I really can't resist him.. I mean Ryan's really a good cook. I'm amazed of how fast he learned all that. We head immediately to the dining table which seems to be prepared by him with lots of effort. And to top it all, he serves me today the type of food that I don't get to see everyday.

Speechless, I just stare on the foods on the table and thought how talented he is.

"Moshi-moshi! Today I'm serving Japanese cuisine." He tries to sound like an entrepreneur introducing his product. "Sorry, that's all I know. I had no enough time to study the Japanese language."

Without further talking, we immediately go to "criticizing" his work. Ryan always says that he's the chef and I'm his critic. Though I'm strictly on a low carb diet, I can't let him down. And besides, I think it's okay cause Japanese foods are mostly healthy anyway. He tells a little background of each food before letting me taste it.
