He's deadly to her heart

'How mean!' She complained in her heart but didn't dare to speak up. She quietly looked out the window trying to calm her beating heart. 'We can't give in this easily.' She thought with a pout on her lips.

Aiden glanced at her. His gaze locked on her pouting lip. He looked away and continued driving. 'So troublesome.' He thought, with the urge to pull over and ravish her lips once again.

Through the whole ride they were quiet and in their thoughts. Once they arrived Genesis shyly smiled and escaped from there as soon as she could. Aiden came down from the car and called out her name.

"Yes?" She asked, keeping her distance. She was feeling quite nervous. Aiden leaned beside the car and signaled her to come over. "Don't you have something for me?" He asked. Genesis frowned.

"No I don't think so why?" She asked in confusion. Aiden gave her a disappointed look. " Your brother said you had prepared a meal for me. I was hoping to take a bite." He told her looking extremely pitiful.

Genesis choked. "I-I uh…." How could she have forgotten? At that moment she did a mental facepalm. She was so focused on leaving the cafe and away from Andrew that she left his food on the table. 'This traitor! What potion did you give him huh?' She scolded Ethan in her thoughts.

Now there probably isn't a point in going back. She sighed. " I left it in the cafe." She admitted. "Oh….okay I guess you'll have to cook for me again then." He responded with a sigh. He placed his car keys inside his pocket and held her hand.

"Let's go." He told her with a sly smile. "What? Where?" She asked with a frown in her beautiful face. "Aren't you going to cook for me?" He responded with a question of his own. Genesis finally caught on with his plan and she nodded her head.

'It's my fault anyway. I still have to get him another assistant…' She thought. "Okay let's go." She answered and led him inside her apartment building. Behind her Aiden looked at their hands and smiled.

He intertwined their fingers together and kept walking as if nothing happened. Genesis instantly blushed but she didn't take her hand back.

'He should be illegal. He's too deadly. My heart won't be able to handle it for too long.' She thought.

Once they were inside Genesis let Aiden take a seat at the dining table. She then put her hair in a ponytail and wore an apron.

While Aiden obediently sat down and waited for her to cook, She was feeling nervous about having him stare at her throughout the whole process. She sighed and turned around. "You can watch some tv while you wait…" She suggested.

"I rather watch you." He responded. Genesis sighed and turned back to cook again. " Can I help?" He asked but he didn't wait for her to answer and stood up to accompany her.

"I'm not sure if that's a good idea." She responded with a chuckle. "Why not?" He asked with an adorable pout. "Your cooking sucks!" She responded. ' It's too much! Boss please spare me. I can't take your cuteness all at once' She internally sighed and patted her own heart pitifully.

She raised her hands in the air claiming her innocence. "Words from your mother! Can't deny them." She added with a small teasing laugh. Aiden narrowed his eyes. "That's not true. I have improved." He defended himself.

"Don't worry I believe you," Genesis said stifling a laugh. Aiden frowned, adjusted his sleeves and washed his hands. "I'll show you then." He told her with some serious determination.

Genesis nodded. "Yes of course." She told him, she still did not believe a word. "You want to bet?" Aiden smirked at her." Sure, but what?" Genesis answered while crossing her arms.

" If you win I do something you want but if I win you do something I want." He answered with a cocky smirk. "Okay. If I win you let me train an assistant for you." Genesis placed her bet.

"And if I win, you have to give me a kiss every time we see each other….on the lips." He placed his side of the bet while taping his lips. Genesis shot him a glare. "That's so shameless!" She complained. "Mhmm unfortunately you're just going to have to deal with it." He shrugged with a smirk.

"You are being too confident," Genesis commented. Aiden walked towards her and placed his palm on her cheek. He caressed it softly and smiled. " You can give up now and complete your part of the deal." He whispered and brushed his lips against her cheek, near her lips.

Genesis smirked and pushed him away gently." Are you suggesting that I will lose?" She asked with interest. "I don't know but there's a possibility…." He responded and shrugged innocently. Genesis' lips curled upwards. "Hmm we will both create a dish. It will be decided upon smell, presentation, and finally the taste." She explained.

She walked towards the couch where her purse was and she took out her phone. " I'll call Bae and James. If one of them is free they can be the judge." She added. "Wait, you're taking this too seriously," Aiden told her with a chuckle.

"Of course! There might just be one thing I'm better than you at. I must take it!" She responded confidently. Looking at how outstanding Aiden is she felt a bit nervous and started doubting her culinary skills.

Aiden had never tasted her food and neither has she. This made the competition perfect. Well a 'competition' is exactly what Genesis took it as. Looking at how seriously motivated to beat him, she looks Aiden couldn't help but let out a nervous laugh.

Naturally he has already heard of her amazing cooking skills from his younger brother, James. Both James and Ethan turned into foodies when they first tasted her food. To add on, Genesis has had way more free time to improve her cooking skills for the past two years.

Now, thinking about how he is a secret food lover he's sure that he will lose, he might just end up eating her dish instead. Frankly speaking, he isn't an excellent cook either. He's an average cook, he knows how to do a few dishes but not enough to beat Genesis.

"Sure. Let's do it." He responded with fake arrogance. He simply enjoys the spark of fire in her eyes. Even the look of determination and wholly dedicated expressions.

Just like he expected Genesis' swiftly made the call. She was itching to defeat him at something.

"James!" She called out excitedly.

'My first cooking battle.' She thought. Now she could only hope that Aiden is a real challenge for her.
