MAGGIE's POV

I couldn't help but to chuckle while watching Marco eating his food with gusto. We're still in Kyrus' suite, eating the food that we prepared together.

"Hey, slow down, will you? You look like you're eating the most delicious food in the world even though it's just a simple dish." I teased while shaking my head. He swallowed the food in his mouth before he grinned at me.

"Actually, I am. This is the most delicious food that I've ever tasted." He answered like a kid. I could see that he was enjoying every minute of our dinner. I cocked up an eyebrow at him.

"You're pulling my leg." He shook his head vigorously.

"I'm telling the truth. This is the first food that we made together and I am so happy right now. I couldn't believe that this thing would be possible. I mean, you and I together without anything holding us back. I know that you're still affected of what happened between you and Keith but I am willing to do anything for you to totally forget about him. I told you; he's not the man for you because he's not worth it." He said wearing a serious face. His amber eyes were staring at me intently as if trying to figure out what was I thinking.

I didn't know how to comment about that. I was actually surprised of the realization that since we arrived here in Monterial Hotel, Keith didn't cross my mind even after what happened this afternoon. Maybe because I am with Marco...

In just a short period of time, he managed to make me forget that traumatic experience. Just spending time with him erased all my fears and doubts. I thought it would take time for me to recover of what happened but Marco made me feel safe.

While we were cooking a while ago, he was so affectionate towards me and I admit that I felt so giddy receiving such kind of affection from him.

I was pulled out of my reverie when I heard the humorless chuckle of Marco. "I wish I didn't mention his name. How can I expect that you already moved on from him in such short period of time? Silly me. I made you sad because you remembered him." There was a hint of bitterness in his voice. My eyebrows creased.

He stopped eating as if he lost his appetite. "I think, I'm already full." He was about to stand up from his seat when I took his hand.

"Where do you think you're going? I thought you liked the food? You haven't finished everything in your plate yet." I said, couldn't hide my amusement. Jealousy was written all over his face and I found him very adorable.

He cleared his throat. "I think, I lost my appetite." He admitted as his eyes evaded my gaze. A smile almost broke across my face but I tried my best to hide my amusement. I wanted to make fun of him first.

"And why's that?" I feigned ignorance and he looked at me in disbelief.

"Really? You don't know?" He asked with knitted eyebrows. I shook my head.

"I'm f*cking jealous because you're obviously affected just by hearing his name! I know that I don't have the right to be jealous yet but I can't help it!" He even raked his fingers through his hair in frustration. I couldn't hold back my laugh anymore and burst out laughing. He gaped at my reaction.

"And now, you're laughing at me. Great."

"Because you're so silly. Who told you that I was still affected about Keith? I didn't comment a while ago because I realized something."
