each step, closer to your apartment and the tempting smell kept getting stronger.
you were so tired, you had a long day, but that delicious smell of your favorite food was keeping you motivated. You didn't expect it to be from your apartment, because, no one is usually there before you. you opened the door, and you saw Mark, your boyfriend, standing in the kitchen while cooking chicken with rice.As you walked in, he turned to you with a big smile on his face. He looked so excited, he ran to you, hugged you. Actually you were very surprised, he usually worked late and always went to bed immediately.
you quickly took your coat and shoes off and went to kitchen where the tempting smell was the strongest, you hugged Mark from behind. you didn't want to let go, his muscular body felt so good to hug. you just adored him so much that you were lost in his face while he was trying to say something to you
mark: y/n?
mark: y/n??
you finally realized you were looking in his face for so long. you looked at him and just mumbled
y/n: mhm?
mark: sorry that every day is not like this, today is just a special day and i needed to be here
you were kinda shocked, in all the stress of work, you forgot what this day was
mark: so, do you know what this day is?
he looked at you with a big smile
y/n: huh?
mark: silly, it's ur bday! ah, come here, today, you need to just rest. you have overworked.
he took your hand and sat you down on the couch
mark: sit here and wait, I'll be back soon
you felt very tired, but you felt that tempting smell, rice and chicken mmmm, that smell was coming towards you. mark took plates with food and gave one for you. he turned the tv on. ah, i felt this weird butterfly feeling just like on the day we met.
i ate the whole plate, i was just so happy and i didn't even know that mark is a good chef! he never made me food because he was rarely home.
i just got closer to him and hugged him. he wrapped his hand around me, i swear, it was the best feeling ever.
y/n: please, just don't let it go, i missed this feeling so much.
and he just smiled and tucked you in his arms and kissed you.
that was the best feeling.
as you were sleeping, he slowly kissed your forehead and quietly whispered:
mark: i love you, i will never let you go...
