Kiss!

Chapter 33
Irene blushed heavily, she couldn't imagine that word would come out of Elliot's mouth.
She was still watching him in amazement.
"Did you wake up from the wrong side of the bed?" Irene asked and he chuckled cutely.
"Did I?" He mutters pecking her cheeks and he finally lets out a sigh he has been holding.
"Tell me what happened Elliot, you are crying over the phone" Irene said.
"I have finally known the culprits behind mother's death," Irene had this surprised look on her face.
"Who is that dear?" She asked.
"It is Queenie," He replied.
"You mean the president's wife and your own step mother?" Irene said.
"Yes, she is the one, she made mum part with me" Elliot said and tears started to prick out of his eyes again.
Irene hugged him deeply, he had his shoulder on the crook of her neck weeping bitterly.
She caressed his head, she also couldn't control her emotions, the guy she loves is weeping, definitely she must also weep.
"Irene, I'm lonely and I don't feel anyone wants to mingle with me" He said crying slowly.
"No, you are not lonely Elliot, you have Irene, Wymond and Ethan… you are not lonely dear" Irene also cried.
Elliot looked up at her, he saw the tears in her eyes and he wiped it off with his finger.
The two continue to stare at each other, they couldn't avoid eye contact, finally the duo attached lips, their lips move in sync and right now that is what they need.
Irene was flabbergasted, she didn't know what to say, she accepted his tongue into her mouth and he fed her tongue.
Her head and his are not working, though Irene didn't want to think or believe that he was using her to cure his boredom and sadness.
Elliot withdraws from the kiss, they breath heavily because the kiss made them breathless and their lips were also swollen.
Elliot felt Irene tasted like Vanilla, it is intoxicating him but he has to stop right here or else he won't be able to control himself.
He didn't say anything and the situation was awkward, Irene quickly thought of a way to save them from the awkwardness.
So she remembers she prepared some rice porridge for him, and she immediately alerts him about the food.
She went to the kitchen to dished out the food to the dining room, thank God the rice porridge is still warm.
She helped him to the dining room because he still looked flexible and weak.
He sat on one of the chairs and Irene sat opposite him but she notices his pale swollen lips and she remembers the kiss.
His lips shiver and she felt he needed a hoodie, so she left to his room in order to get a hoodie.
Elliot stares at her back as she walks away, he doesn't know where she is going, so he just leaves her alone.
Irene smiled brightly when she got to his room, even though the sitting room was messed up, his room was sparkling clean for a guy's room.
She opened his wardrobe with his slender finger and he brought out an ash hoodie, there were many but she loves that one.
Among his clothes, she notices hoodies and she loves him like that.
She closed back the wardrobe door and she left back to the dining room.
"Wore this, I can see you are shivering" Irene mutters, handing him the hoodie.
She looks at the porridge and he has eaten it all, Irene was happy he at least ate his porridge.
Elliot was surprised more, he doesn't know Irene can cook, could the changes people do say also happened to Irene.
He glanced up at her and she helped him to wear the hoodie, it fit him perfectly.
"Thank you for the food and the hoodie, but are you….." Elliot was still saying when she cut in.
"I made the porridge by myself and you are the first person I will ever cook for" She replied and Elliot couldn't help but be happy.
He was so lucky to be the first person to taste her food.
When he didn't speak again, Irene thought the food wasn't good so she proceeded to ask.
"Is it…. not edible?" She asked, staring at him slowly and Elliot smiled before holding her hand.
"It is and I love it…. Shall I hire you as my chef" He replied out loud and she tried to play along.
"Did you want a death wish by hiring the daughter of the richest billionaire in Italy and the only sister of the popular and richest bachelor Henry Ace as a chef?" She mutters and he smiles before he changes his face.
"About the ki…" Irene cut him once again.
"Yes, what should we do about Queenie?" She quickly changed the topic, being aware of what Elliot wanted to say.
She couldn't afford to hear him say the kiss was nothing and he doesn't feel anything for her.
"Oh, I haven't thought about that" Elliot also changed the topic since Irene doesn't want him to talk about it.
They both mount on the couch in the living room.
His feelings before had changed and he wanted to tell her that he feels exactly the same way now.
He wanted to express his feelings that from the day she has left, he has been seeing her face.
Even though he wanted to deny it, he couldn't, the kiss expressed his thorough feelings.
But since she doesn't want to talk about it, he feels he should keep it for later.
"Where are the guys? I feel we should inform them and let's discuss" Irene said.
"Right here, we are here" The two choruses entering into the living room.
Wymond looks at Irene before looking back at Elliot with
a smile.
"Hmmm, Elliot don't tell me you pretended to be sick and now fucking a girl in our back" Wymond mutters while Ethan also grins.
"Hmm, the girl is also my taste, sexier than the one we used to find in the club, maybe you can also be mine" Elliot shook his head at their ignorance and stupidity.
Before the two who were speaking would know, a knock landed on their head.
They both wince looking at her and their eyes later widen when they guess who it is.
"Could this be Irene?" Ethan mutters cleaning her eyes.
"No, your nightmare!" Irene replied and they gasped dramatically.
"It's her voice…. But how she changed, or is it her reincarnated twin" Wymond whispered to Ethan.
"Hey guys, meet Henry Irene, the former bomb" Elliot said and the guys rushed to Irene.
Irene ducked them and they fell on the couch beside her and Elliot.
"Irene, who made you like this?" Wymond cried dramatically while Elliot felt like he should disappear.
The guys are amusing, he facepalms himself looking at them but his mind suddenly shifts from them.
The other time he wanted to introduce Irene as his girlfriend but since she didn't want to talk about the kiss, he only called her by name.
He doesn't know how long he is going to keep quiet but he is assuring himself that, as long as she doesn't want to talk about it, he will not utter a word.
"Please, clear the feelings you have for Elliot, let's get married tomorrow I love you" Ethan said.
Irene was lost in thought, she was just staring and they thought she was listening to them which she was not.
She was feeling excited when Elliot wanted to introduce her to the guys, she thought he would say she was his girlfriend but she felt heartbroken when she called her name.
"You guys are not serious" She replied, getting hold of their ear and they wince in pain.
So the dressing was a deceit, the real Irene they know is back.
