Natasha“I'm not sure. Is there something you want?” Bruce asked regarding food.When I move closer to him, he turned away and I don't know the reason. I walked even closer regardless and took the menu from him.“French food for dinner…” I muttered.“We can still do American food. The hotel is owned by my company so I'm sure there are dinners for people like us,” Bruce suggested.“No, I didn't come all the way to Paris to eat the same thing I have been eating!”I rejected his offer.“We should have it the French way tonight. How about the first course? It sounds interesting.”“It will be delicious,” Bruce accepted.I watched as he called it in and only then do I begin to walk around, admiring the artwork in the room. Bruce sat down at the bar, toying with his glass of whiskey.By ‘toying’, I meant he didn't drink from it, he only held it for a long time. I walked up to him calmly and asked,“Do you need a drinking buddy?”“No,” he smiled as he dropped the glass.“Dinner would soon arr

NatashaBruce and I walked on the streets of Paris side by side. I could tell he was walking slowly intentionally so he could match my slow footsteps.Bruce has always been a gentleman, I knew that very well.“Should we take a break?” I asked as I pointed at a café.“No,” Bruce replied blandly. I was originally in a good mood but thanks to Bruce's rejection, I had regained my senses.I began to walk faster now, eager to get this over with. Bruce didn't have trouble matching my pace.“Listen carefully…” he said. I turned to him and he muttered,“Face your front and don't turn back. Just keep walking as you have been so far.” I wondered what had just happened.Anyway, I did as he wanted.“What is it?” I asked as I walked.“Someone has been on our trail for a while,” Bruce told me calmly.“Don't turn your head to see.”“I won't,” I replied nervously. “Do you know who sent the person?”“I don't,” Bruce muttered. “It could be my grandmother… if she is the one, the person is just here to ta

NatashaI woke up the next morning with a hangover. As I sat up, I stretched and yawned before I opened my eyes to see Bruce who was staring at me with deadly eyes.I was taken aback at once and it took me time to calm myself.“Is something wrong?” I asked out of concern.“I ordered some soup just in case you might suffer from a hangover,” Bruce said sweetly which contrasted the gaze he had earlier.I stood up and walked towards him.“Thanks for the soup. I really needed it,” I said as I walked to the table where he placed it.“And that's the problem!” Bruce exclaimed.“You shouldn't be needing hangover soup in the first place.” I turned back soberly,“I'm sorry. I shouldn't have drank that much.”“No, you didn't drink much,” Bruce replied with a smile.Now I couldn't even tell if he was angry or happy.“I didn't cause any trouble, did I?” I asked carefully.“No, you didn't,” Bruce replied sweetly. “Ah, except from going from table to table to drink their beers directly from their bot

Bruce“You should go first…” both of us said together. I sighed and Natasha looked away nervously.“I overreacted earlier,” Natasha began. “I blamed you for everything even though you didn't cause it. It all happened without your approval and I knew but still I… I blamed you.”“It's fine,” I muttered. “I also said some words I shouldn't have uttered. I know they must have hurt you so bad.”“Those words did,” Natasha affirmed. “You were very harsh, Bruce.”“Then I will make an amazing dinner and apologize for that,” I told her, smiling.Natasha smiled back at me and for a moment there, I felt butterflies in my tummy. It was strange, as if we were a real couple.Natasha joined me in the kitchen and watched me as I cooked.She didn't lift her hand there and she shuffled between staring at me, tasting the food in every process, and asking when it would be ready.I made my signature dish, Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup. Natasha enjoyed the aroma before she tasted it.She opened her eyes wi

Natasha“It's quite bold of you to assume he has never feasted on a human's body…” Gregor chirped in with a light chuckle.Bruce's facial expression didn't change. He still looked determined.Gregor still held onto me tightly. It was almost impossible for me to get out of his grip.I watched as Bruce ran forward. Bear stopped him and they fought, throwing punches at each other.Bear was the one who struck first, making Bruce fall on his back. Bruce stood up almost immediately and continued fighting. My eyes were filled with tears. It pained me to watch Bruce like this.However, Bruce began to dominate Bear in time. Bear was strong and his punches were heavy. Those were advantages but the downside was that he was both heavy and slow.Bruce was faster and he hit the right places too. I could see despair spread over Gregor's face as he noticed Bruce had dominated Bear.I took this as my opportunity and wrestled myself free from Gregor's grip. I ran towards Bruce who held me after he kick
