Shouldn't Have Kissed You.

chapter 27

Dedicated to @Gegul123

Maya finished her last piece of cake before looking up at Chris. He was talking and the last thing she heard was him saying urinating on their marriage? She couldn't even remember. But can you blame her? It had been months.

Months since she eat home made food. And to be honest, she missed it. She was tempted more than ones when she would walk in and to the kitchen to find her food in the oven. Waiting for her to eat. But in order to prove to her dear husband that she could survive without him, she just gathered all her courage and walk away.

Of course it wasn't easy. So that's why she made sure before walking home, she and Leonel would go and grab a bite. If Leonel wasn't around, she would ask for pizza in her office because she hated to eat alone in a restaurant. That's how it worked for her. That's how she survived without eating food that Chris thought was hers.

And today. She was way too tired to go our with Leonel. In fact, it was late and she was tired. So when she got home and found her darling husband wanting to settle all their differences and the good smell of the food. Maya couldn't say no to him since her stomach wouldn't stop reminding her how starving it was.

Here she was, looking at her husband whose lips were just moving to her. She still heard nothing. Maya wanted more desert. It was way too sweet to be have prepared by her husband. The last one she tested, it was sweet but not this sweet to have her cleaning her plate along with her spoon. It wasn't the desert only, the food was also good. It was good to an extent when Chris got up to carry the leftovers, she wanted to protest.

But she held herself back. She didn't want him calling her fat. It's not like he hadn't called her that before, but if he did that then, she won't have listened to him. It's not like she was that fat. Right? She only weight 60kg, was that fat?

Anyway, it was her body and she would do whatever she wanted to do with it. Maya wasn't about to starve herself to death just to be slim. She was no model and she cared less of what people said about her. It was her body at the end of the day. At least that's what she would tell herself every time someone looked at her in a way to suggest she is fat.

So Maya said what she never thought she would say in front of him. For status, she said way too many times to Leonel. He knew her very well and she loved him for not judging her. He also could eat despite him being a model. How did he not get fat? Let's say he knew how to eat and not getting fat thing. Do with Leonel around, everything was great. She was her. She was Maya, the real Maya.

She wasn't Maya Rollins. Neither was she Maya Freeman. She was Maya. The Maya who loved her freaking food very much. The Maya who laughed careless nor the Maya who was afraid to laugh since she would be called all sorts of names. That wasn't Maya. The one who was afraid to say anything before thing it through, that wasn't her. The real Maya would say whatever she wished to say and Leonel would be happy. Happy for her speaking her mind out.

"Can I get another desert?"

She watched Chris stop talking and look up at her. She knew he wanted to say something. Something that had to do with all that talk you heard nothing? But she kept her gaze into his eyes. They weren't brown which meant he wasn't mad at her. Maya knew she was safe for the time being.

"What?" Maya watched his reaction. It was a surprise written all over his face.

He was surprised she asked for more? Leonel would never be. In fact, he would ask the waiter to bring the rest out for her to ear. And if it's lunch hour, he would ask for takeaway, for her to eat at four. That's during her tea break.

"I mean if that's okay with you?" She didn't know why she said that but she needed that good testing desert in her mouth again.

Chris got up from his seat, "of course it's okay with me," he smiled at her and picked up her plate. "I'll be back in a jiffy."
