Chapter 13

PRESENT TIME

As Isaiah was entering the shop he wondered what his guest would like. Probably not something grease. She definitely looked of noble birth so something fancy. As he was thinking he remembered a dish his mom always liked him cooking for her, so he decided to go with that.

So after gathering the ingredients he quickly got back home. The reason being is because his guest had just awoken.

When he got back he placed the ingredients on the table and walked upstairs to his bedroom.

Even tho it was his house and room he didn't want to be rude so he knocked first.

???" You can come in."

With permission, he finally entered. Once he did he saw that same beauty he did all those few hours ago. She was sitting on a chair while staring at the moon.

Tho he was traced yet again by her beauty he didn't show it and sat opposite of her. Both did not start a conversation, so Isaiah had to.

Isaiah" I hope you feel okay. If there's any discomfort you can tell me. You've probably already met Fen so I don't have to introduce you two. But I'm Isaiah. May I know your name."

After 2 minutes of silence, she finally spoke.

???" I thank you for taking care of me but I do not wish to give you my name until you show me your face."

Isaiah froze for a second, before remembering that he almost always covers his face. Even at home. He does that for a reason but seeing as she only asked to see his face he didn't mind.

He first took off his lose jumper. While taking it off he stood up so he could pull it over his head easier. Wich showed his muscular physique. He then took off the band that was holding his hair and let it flow down like a waterfall. And finally, he took off his mask that covered his sharp lower face.

Tho ??? Has seen a lot of pretty boys in her life. She could definitely say her saviour was at the top of that list, no he practically punched that list to oblivion.

Sharp amethyst eyes that take the soul of those that look into them. Long shiny platinum silver hair with red crimson tips at the ends.

A body that showed power yet grace. Everything proportioned evenly for deadly combat. Even if she doesn't love him if, between all those men that wanted to marry her, he would definitely be her first choice just by looks alone. Plus he seemed kind, so that was a bonus.

After taking off his clothes and showing his face he looked at her with anticipation. As he had kept his end of the deal she was about to do the same. That was until...

(Grumble, grumble.)

Both fell completely silent before Isaiah couldn't take it anymore and started laughing, while the girl was holding her stomach in embarrassment.

Isaiah" Haha, looks like your hungry. I'll go make you something to eat, so hold on until then." He then stood up and walked to the door. But just before he left she told him her name.

???" Mei Xueyan, my name is Mei Xueyan."

Isaiah turned back to look at Mei Xueyan but she had her back already turned to him. Smiling he closed the door. But not before saying" You have...a beautiful name, Mei Xueyan."

After he left, Xueyan let out a breath she didn't even know she was holding.' Why, why did my heartbeat so irregularly when he said my name.'

Fenrir who was still in the room looked on in amusement before heading back to sleep.

While Xueyan sorts out her breathing, Isaiah had already started cooking. He decided on making steak with chimichurri and potatoes.

Using a grill-pan, he got the pan hot and put a tablespoon of olive oil on it. He seasoned the steak with olive oil, salt and pepper and Once the pan was hot, he placed the steak on it fat side first. He also put some tomatoes and mushrooms on a grill pan and Seasoned them with salt and pepper. 

While the steak was cooking, he got another pan, and put it under medium heat, while again putting a tablespoon of olive oil to heat up. Once it got hot enough he got his seasoned cut up potatoes and put them on the pan. He was going to cook them until they were golden brown.

He went back to the steak pan and flipped the mushrooms and steak. He also didn't forget to add some garlic and butter to add more flavour.

As the potatoes, steak, and veggies were cooking he decided it was time to make the sauce or marinade.

He picked up his food processor and put in parsley, cilantro, some red onion, sliced jalapeno, crushed garlic cloves, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice and lastly salt and pepper, then turned it on. He wouldn't stop it until it was nice and smooth.

2 minutes later and the steak was basically done, so he seared it with the juices in the pan then took it out to rest. He also took out the potatoes that were now nice and crisp.

Once the steak was well-rested he cut it into thin strips and plated it with the potatoes, mushroom tomatoes and chimichurri.

He would say overall it was a 7 out 10, as he was only using supermarket goods and not the best quality ingredients.

What he hadn't noticed while he's was cooking was Mei Xueyan coming downstairs while salivating. Tho she was hungry she did what Isaiah told her to do and waited for her food.

But over time her stomach kept growling louder and louder and she kept getting even more embarrassed. And that wasn't the worst of it. As Isaiah forgot to open the windows the smell penetrated the whole house awakened the beast that was her stomach.
