22: Happy

"Are you fine?"

My cheeks heated when Kiel asked that. He was staring at me, holding a tray of food. I gulped and covered my face using a pillow in shame. What the hell? Just what the hell? I did not expect this thing to come. I never imagine this to happen. Fuck it, Talia!

"Y-Yeah," I answered, not able to look at him. Embarrassment just started to swallow my being and I just want to fade away right in front of him. "I have to go now."

I was about to stand up when he stopped me by heading near me, he then put the tray on the side table. "Stay. Eat this."

I looked at the food. My lips then slowly formed a smile when I saw rice and a fried egg and bacon, there is also a glass of milk. Oh, wow. It was like I am a baby and is being fed by her mother. "You cooked this?"

He nodded his head. "Yeah."

My lips parted. "I thought you don't cook?"

"Just this once."

"For me?"

He just nodded his head at me, making me squint my eyes at him. He cooked for me, huh? How nice of him. I did not know he has this kind of side. I just know him for being rude and heartless, but now, look. The CEO just cooked this simple breakfast for me.

"Are you teasing me?" he knotted his brows when I grinned all of a sudden. "Just take that breakfast so you can now leave. I have to clean my room."

I wagged my head multiple times. "Alright. But I am still sore."

"That's normal. Your room is just beside mine. Can not you walk with just a step?"

"I did not say so. It was just that I am sore and I can't move clearly. Maybe I will just stay here for some minutes to rest myself. And oh, can I take a bath here? I want fresh water."

He stared at me for a second and finally nodded his head. "Alright. As you wish."

He turned his back against me before he went out of the room. I smiled and followed him using my eyes. Funny how I woke up inside his room and him as a first view in the morning. It makes me feel the euphoria I never feel months ago, and it feels so surreal just the thought of having sex with him. With Kiel Alexandro Ramirez.

I tried to get up but I am still in pain down there. I sighed and forced myself to sit. I took the milk first before I started to eat the rice and egg and the bacon. He cooked it well, though. Not overcooked and now semi-raw at the same time.

"Kiel, do you have an extra towel?" I asked while I am slowly walking out of his room, careful. He is in the living room and is facing his laptop. He did not look at me when he answered.

"There are towels inside the cabinet," he said and pointed to the cabinet near the restroom. I nodded my head and walked near it. I opened the cabinet door and he is right, there are a lot of them. I got one and turned to Kiel again to ask about the toiletries, but he seemed to know my intention already. "You can use mine."

My eyes widened. "You sure?"

"Yeah."

"O-Okay," I said and nodded my head. I then went inside the shower area. There are his things which I used for me to take a bath. It took me longer because I had a good time in the bathtub. When I went out, my body was just covered with a towel, nothing more. "You have extra clothes?"

"Don't you have clothes?"

"I mean, I have but it was inside my unit. I can't go there yet."

"Can't you get it?" he looked at me and raised a brow when he saw me. He even scanned my body before he looked again on his laptop. Now he looked distracted. His ears even turned red.

"Alright, I will just get it."

"You will get out with just a towel?" he asked when I was about to open the door to get out.

"Yes? My room is just a step away."

"You can't go outside with that."

"Why is that? So I will just stay here wearing a towel? That sounds informal."

He stood up and let out a heavy sigh. "I will get your clothes for you. Where is it put?"

My brows arched when he offered that. I then smiled because he look serious. "It was inside my room. It is locked. The key was on the pot near my room's door."

He nodded his head and walked toward me. I let go of the doorknob because he will open it for him to get out. I just followed his way and closed the door afterward when he fade away from my sight.

I leaned my back against the door and closed my eyes. The smile that is creeping my lips did not fade as the different feelings pass through my system. I even felt butterflies inside my stomach, twirling, making me feel the electricity I did not expect to feel.

It took him maybe three minutes before he went back, carrying my bag. I looked at him, amused because his face is just poker when he put it down on the floor. "Here. Welcome."

I let out a small laugh and shook my head. "Thank you."

He just nodded his head before he went back to work in the living room. I bit my lower lip and get my clothes inside my bag. With just his action, getting my bag for me because he does not want me to get out just by wearing a towel makes me feel beyond happy I did not expect he will be giving me.

"Why are smiling, silly?" he grunted when he saw me smiling. I sat on the sofa just right in front of him and smiled more like a tease for him.

"What?"

"You have been smiling lately. What's with you?"

I shrugged my shoulders off. "It was just that you made me feel this kind of happiness."

"I did nothing."

"Nah, you did more."

He creased his brows because of what I said. "Because of what happened last night?"

"Yes, and also when you get my things for me. That might be just so simple and nothing for you but it gave me beyond happiness," I said while looking up like I am daydreaming. I am smiling and I know he sees me as an idiot person right now.

"I did not know that you will be this thankful," he said with a hiss so I glared at him. "I should do that often, then."

"That means you want me to be happy," I said, looking at him with a suspicious look.

He then nodded his head and looked away. "I want you to be happy, with me and because of me."
