Chapter 10

Kiara's POV

I'm tired.

Today was so tiring . First, I had to brainstorm my mind for finding a loophole in that Lyon land acquiring case. Then, the fight with Brian . And to top it , I had Cara constantly questioning me of why Brian dragged me .

I had hush her off saying it was due to the Lyon case. But boy I tell ya, it was tiring to deal with  her. She sure is a pretty bubbly girl , but handling too much energy isn't something I can do.

I go down the stairs coz I need to make my dinner no matter how tired I am . I could skip it and be the lazy me I am , but I can't . Skipping meals is a torture for me. Never skip a meal guys , I tell ya .

I hear sounds of someone working in the kitchen . Annie had left an hour ago after I came back from work . And the only person who ever comes to this house other than her is Brian. And I find the devil himself in the kitchen .

I should probably go back to my room coz I don't wanna face him. But who cares , I didn't do anything wrong to hide myself . So I stride into the kitchen as if I own it. I mean I do own it partially coz I'm married to him so yea. He lifts his face up to see me . I walk up to the fridge not bothering about his gaze.

"I'm making dinner for both of us , so help me . " He said .

I nod curtly, not wanting to talk much. I peek to look at what he is making . But damn that 6 ft 2 inches of height. I'm pretty short so it didn't help either. But the food sure did smell pretty good.

" Help me cut some tomatoes."  He said while handling me some tomatoes.

I really wanna ask what he is making . They smell like Shepard's pie. My favourite. I really wish it is that. I mean I'm pretty sure it is what it is . My nose can always be trusted.

I cut the tomatoes just like how he informed me he wanted . Boy, he looked handsome while cooking.  His arms flexed as he stirred the meat. I want them to embrace me as I lay underneath him. And that sharp jaw of his , just makes me wanna kiss them. And damn those lips , I would love to have them on mine. He is so damn fine that it makes me sound like a needy woman .

You aren't supposed to admire him , Kiara.  He was accusing you in the morning .

But..  he is making food for me . And I can forgive him a little. I don't like fights anyways. Neither can I stay upset at someone for long.

The voices inside my head kept fighting . Blame me for being a softie . I have always been one .

"Ouch."

Why did end up cutting my own finger. That's why never get distracted when you are holding a knife. You may end up cutting yourself like me . Brian turns and looks at my finger which now was bleeding. He came to my side wasting no time . And dragged me to the basin to wash the blood off.

I just got lost again while looking at the face that now held a worried expression on it. So ,he did care. I smile to myself at that thought. He wraps up a bandaid around my finger.

One cut . It was enough for him to just make me sit there doing nothing and just watch him cook . And one cut, was enough for me to know that he cared.

I watched as he cooked. He was too concentrated in making it ,that it made me wonder whether he was making us a dinner or competing in a competition. Maybe that's why they say men who can cook are hot , coz this man right in front of me was looking so hot, that I don't mind getting burnt. He looks like a totally meal that I would love to have on platter. Just take me down already .

"I do know the fact that I'm handsome ,but can you not just look at me like that . It's distracting " he said not even lifting his face.

"Tch. Look at you like what ?"

"Like you wanna eat me up "

"No, I didn't. "

"You sure did."

"No ,I didn't "  I try my best to deny which was the truth.

I hurrily grab a packet of walkers and walk away to the living room . I hear his deep chuckles from the kitchen . They sound so good. I should've stayed there , so that I could see his smiling face. That would've been too pretty .

I actually like how this felt. It almost felt like we were a normal couple who loved each others company. It felt just beautiful. Only if Brian could be like this everyday. It would've been a bliss . But not everything goes how you want them to be so yea.

The flavours of the food smelt so heavenly that I can't resist the urge to have it inside my mouth.  I sneak back into the kitchen.

" Help me set the dining table , Kiara."

I set the dining table and eagerly wait for him to bring the food. He walks in with the food and puts on the dining table .

Shepherd pie. Mm , tasty.

I knew it . I was right when I said it was shepherd pie. I'm totally gonna feed myself as if there is no tomorrow. But being the good person I am , I waited for Brian to settle down opposite to me. With him giving me nod signaling that I could dig in , I took a bite of the food that was now served .

It was heavenly just like how aromatic it smelt. And only God knows how hard it was for me to stop myself from hugging the man who made this bliss. Brian sure was an amazing cook. And I was blessed enough to have the chance to eat this delicacy.

I could see Brian chucking to himself while looking at my reaction. And that chuckling face of his just topped the food. He leaned in closer to my face . His hands going to sides of my face . His face adorned a beautiful smile , making my heart beat faster. I'm sure my heart would've been out of my body if it weren't for my ribs holding them back.

He inched closer , making me expect things. His finger caressing the side of my lip. I lean to his touch, only to having that warmth disappear within seconds. He smirked as he leaned back in his chair . He just wiped off the sauce from my face and here I was thinking of something else. I look like a total fool , don't I ?

"Cute " I heard him mutter.

"I'm sorry for what I did today. " He apologized and I could feel that he meant it.

I smile in response . Letting him know that I didn't hold it against him anymore.

"I was wondering, that maybe we could give this marriage a chance . I know , I have been quite a jerk by ignoring you and stuff . But honestly I was running away from this , which is new to me . It's like me taking a major step in my life." He said , his face showing his nervousness as he explained .

" Kiara , wanna try giving 'us' a shot ?" He asked as he looked at me hopefully.

I nod my head in acceptance , coz this is what I wanted. A chance to see where we were gonna sail or sink. Not trying would've never given us an answer.

He breaks out a grin . So breathtaking that I think I forgot to breathe for a second .

Maybe we might sail.

Authors note :

Btw , I tried being sexy in their but damn I sucked at it. I'm awkward with those so yea , bear with them .
