Chapter 7
730 Words
Just like the plan, Ayesha sent me a recipe so I can cook something for Gelo. It went well I guess, since I followed everything thoroughly.
I'll show that fucktard that I'm not useless, he's gonna regret calling me that way.
I cooked chicken adobo and prepared the table so that he can eat immediately once he come home. I'm not that good at things like this but I can manage.
It's around 9 in the evening and he's not home yet. I watched the food at the table as I slowly lose my patience. I took my phone out and called him.
"What time do you plan to go home asshole? Do you plan to keep me waiting here?" I asked impatiently when he answered.
"I'm on my way home," his deep low voice answered.
I hit the end button and hurriedly took the chicken adobo so I can heat it. I have to make sure this will taste so damn good for that asshole.
I was in the middle of tasting it when I heard him talk behind me. I suddenly pressed the hot food on my lower lip. My eyes watered because of pain.
"What --"
"What the hell?" He immediately walked towards me to check on me. I squirmed when he touched my lower lip with his thumb.
"What a careless girl you are," he murmured.
I glared at him, "It's your fault, you told me you're on the way! How can you appear right away!"
He stared at me instead of answering, I felt conscious because he's too close. I snapped out infront of him. I turned off the stove.
"What is that?" He stood behind me.
"I cook some food, let's have dinner." I don't know why I suddenly feel shy when I've been planning to show off.
I prepared the table again as he watch me intently. I suddenly feel so awkward now for a reason I don't know.
"You really cooked?" He asked, as if seeing all of this seems to be a dream.
"Stop asking and just eat,"
I keep on avoiding his eyes while putting food on my plate. But then I have no choice but to look at him when he started putting food on his plate too.
"Are you sure this is edible?"
"f**k you Gelo."
He chuckled, he took a piece of chicken and swallowed it. I watch him as he chew hie food.
I smirked when he nodded in approval.
"Now what? Tell me I'm useless when I can even cook for dinner," I feel so proud of myself now.
"It's good, but not that good."
"What?"
"I can compromise with this for now since I'm really hungry," he said like it's nothing. And that insulted me so much.
"What the hell?"
"Just tell me what you wanna hear so I can say it,"
I spilled him the water from my glass. It surprised him and even made him stand.
"What the hell!"
"I hate you! I really hate you!"
"What?!"
"How can you look down at me that much huh?!"
It hurts my ego when people don't appreciate the things that I do. Especially now that it's my first time doing it. He's such an asshole, I hate him to the pits of hell!
"I want you to know that I am also trying to compromise with your company because I have no choice! You are not that good Gelo Ferrer, maybe the people around you are just trying to compromise being with you too!"
Gelo smirked at my words.
"Do you even know what you're saying? People trying to compromise being with me?"
"Yes! Don't think so high and mighty of yourself, not all people likes you."
His eyes lingered on my face as he walks closer. This is the first time I saw him checking me out.
I didn't know he was pinning me on the wall already. "What are you doing huh?"
"I am not Gelo Ferrer for nothing, Naomi. And how sure are you that there are people who won't like me? I'm irrevocably beautiful. And my beauty has no excemption, even your eyes. Just wait, I'll make you my only excemption. And when that happens, I'm sure it's because you're madly inlove with me."
And then, I felt him kiss my cheeks before leaving me completely out of myself.
