L'amante dei serpenti

Chapter 7

Sofia

Rolling over in my bed I expected to find Seunghyun still sleeping soundly but my hand only found a cold empty spot. I sat up on the bed looking around the room not seeing any signs of him being there, I reached over to grab my phone before standing and stretching my arms out. Yawning as I walked out of my room I stopped in my tracks when I saw Seunghyun standing in my kitchen with my apron on cooking at my stove. I didn't expect him to still be here let alone cooking. I walked over to the kitchen counter taking a seat and pouring myself a glass of water. Seunghyun turned around with plates of food setting one in front of me.

"I didn't expect you to still be here, I thought you left."

"Well, I am sorry to disappoint you, I figured a nice healthy breakfast would be in order after last night."

"You didn't have to."

"I know I didn't have to but I wanted to."

"What did you make for me this time?"

"Today I made you a vegetable omelette."

I smiled up at him before taking a small bite of my food. He stood there with his head resting on his hand watching me eat it, I knew he was waiting for feedback. To mess with him I slowly chewed my food in my mouth making sure my face went from blank to puzzled to horrified. I watched him start to panic a little and I held back the laugh that was trying to bubble up.

"Is it that bad? The guys always say my omelettes are the best they have had."

The hand holding his head fell to the counter and he looked down as he traced the little designs in the granite looking rather upset. I stretched out taking my hand to lift his face so I could give him a light kiss before sitting back in my chair and smiling at his confused face.

"The omelette is delicious, I was just messing with you."

He narrowed his eyes as he let out a little chuckle, "Well now you don't get to try the amazing cinnamon rolls I was planning to make."

"I guess that is something I will have to live with."

"Alex was here earlier, I asked him to clear your schedule today."

"You can't do that."

"Well I did and he thinks you need a day away from everything. So after you eat I want you to go get washed up because you are all mine today."

I didn't bother trying to fight him on it because part of me really did just want a day to be normal for once. Not have to worry about the shit storm that is going on with this partnership. A day to forget that I am the heir to the Rossi family and eventually this will all fall on my shoulder. I just wanted to be a normal girl for once, I wanted to just get out and enjoy the day with the man I liked. After I finished eating my breakfast I went to go get washed up feeling the little butterflies floating around in my belly over not knowing what he had planned for us today. I haven't felt this way since back then, not wanting to sour the mood I pushed all the negative thoughts down that the past memories brought up. Instead, I was going to focus on today and not worry about the past or the family business.

When I was dressed I grabbed my phone and small gun, placing the gun in my holster that sat at the back of my pants. Even if I wanted to forget who I was I still had to be safe. Checking myself once more in the mirror I turn and walk out of my room. Seunghyun was sitting on the couch with his leg crossed over the other scrolling through his phone. I don't know how he was able to get a fresh set of clothes but there he was sitting in a pair of dark jeans and wearing a black sweater. The man made my heart flutter every time I caught sight of him, I reached my hand up resting it over where my heart was trying to calm myself down. Seunghyun must have felt my eyes on him because he turned his head to see me standing at my door, he smiled so warmly at me before he stood up from the couch.
