It tastes better this way

With a clean shirt and trouser, I went home, my shoes click on the clean floor as make my way to the room. I heard the shower running meaning she is taking a bathe, the urge to join her was too strong but I fought it, I am taking things slow.

I heard the door to the bathroom open, she came out with a bathrobe hanging on her beautiful black skin. My eyes follow every trail of the drop of water on her body, the droplet of water left her wet hair to her neck then her chest which was slightly exposed because of loosely tied bathrobe, it disappeared into her bathrobe.

"your back early" she point out adjusting her bathrobe. "excuse me, let me put on my clothes." I'll prefer you naked, I thought but gave her charming smile.

Coming out of the closet fully dressed, her hair still wet "let me help you with that." she shook her head but I won't listen to her denial.

"my hair will take time, it has a lot of work. I have to dry it, comb it then use the hot comb on it. so let me do it." I pull a chair for her to sit which she did, taking the hair dryer from her hand.

With a towel drape on her shoulder and her head throw back, I blow dry her hair, running my hand through her hair, massaging her scalp.

"am I doing it right?" she hum with her eyes closed. combing her hair gently not to hurt her, "how do I use the hot comb?"

"apply the serum to prevent heat damage, separate my hair before you start and comb the teeth down the length of my hair from top to bottom, continue the process until u see that the hair is relaxed and smooth and sleek." she instruct.

I did as I was told, combing the hair like she told me too "I am down" she ran her hair through her hair, feeling the texture.

"thank you." she beamed and faced the vanity mirror to style your hair "by the way, Mason you changed."

"huh?" I didn't know what she was talking about, tying her hair she turned to me and said

"your clothes, that's not what you wore when you were going out this morning." she noticed

"one of my stupid employees in the company spilled coffee on me, I had to change." came my blunt lie.

"oh, hope you didn't hurt him? you can be very mean." waking up from the stool, she walk to the bed to take a seat.

I did worst I smiled inside "I didn't love, gave him a second chance because I was in a good mood." she nods

"Mason" her voice was softer than usual

"yeah?" came my reply

"can cook for me? please I want to eat something you cooked yourself." the first time she said that, she didn't eat but my heart squeezed in my chest I feeling I haven't felt in a long time.

"are you sure? I don't know how to cook." she got down from the bed, walk to me, took hold of my hand and pulled me out of the room.

"I know you don't, but that is what your baby wants." I send the maids and butler out of the kitchen.

I don't know what to do, she rolled her eyes "put the pot on the gas plate and turned on the gas." doing as she said, what next?

"I'll go meet Lydia, call me when your done." and with that she left leaving me on my own when I don't know what to do.

not knowing what to do, I went to meet Baron. "come with me to the kitchen." though I need his help I didn't show any sign of it, I still acted arrogant.

"I'll do the cooking, all you have to do is give me directions." he nods, his spectacles falling from his face but be caught it on time.

With Baron's help, I was able to make the meal for Amaya hoping she will like it. instead of taking it to Lydia's room, I took it to our room before going to Lydia's room to call her.

"am done." she waved at Lydia who had a smile on her face.

"ihm smells nice, let's see if it taste as good as it smells." taking the spoon, she scoop the food and took it her mouth. I held my breath praying she likes it, I have never anticipated for someone's reply on my work because I am always sure of my work but today, i had my fingers cross.

"did you cook this?" she asked after having a taste of it, dropping the spoon on the plate and giving me her full attention.

I felt nervous, my palms were sweaty even with the AC on. Wetting my lips with my tongue, I part my lips and said "yes I did but with Baron's help, he didn't touch anything I did it all on my own." she stared at me for some time, staying quiet. I felt like I was standing in front of a food critique waiting for him to criticize my food and rate it.

"I didn't know you had it in you, it is tasty, tastier than I thought it would." she pick up the spoon and began eating.

A gave out a sigh of relief "join me." I sat next to her on the bed "go get a spoon, there's only one here." my lip pull up to form a lopsided smile,

"we can share the spoon, I don't mind." she shrugged her shoulders

"how are we going to do it?" I took the spoon from her hand,

"I'll feed you." she nods, scooping a great amount of the meal, I shoved it into her mouth, she sent me a playful glare.

"are you trying to make me choke or kill me?" she asked after swallowing.

"I want you to eat more." I said not looking at her face

"I'll feed myself if you try that again." chuckling I decided to stop, scooping a lesser quantity I shove it into her mouth, she chew it happily.

The sauce slip out of her mouth, I couldn't stop my self from running my tongue on the side of her lips, seizing the opportunity I gave her a light kiss on her lip.

"if I didn't know you better, I'll say you've falling in love with me." she muttered but I heard it clearly.

I ate the meal and she was right, it is good. I can open a restaurant now, I chuckled at my thoughts. I am only going to cook for one person and that will be Amaya.

I thought of something and a smirk mar my lips, taking the spoon I scoop the food and put in my mouth, without notice I tip her head to the side and kiss her passing the food from my mouth to hers.

Her eyes grew wide, popping out of its sockets. "it taste better this way." i said on her lips before pulling away...
