Chapter 9

The next day came and I woke up early. 7am isn't too bad. I opened my eyes and smelled breakfast downstairs. I smell pancakes. I quickly washed my face and hurried downstairs to the kitchen. I see Noah in his usual cooking style (topless, apron) and served heart-shaped pancakes. He offered to give me maple syrup and goodness! I'm drooling!!

"What do you want?" He asked. "Coffee, tea, or me?" He said in a seductive tone as he stares in my eyes.

"..you.." The words that unexpectedly flew out of my mouth. In total embarassment, I looked away and ate a lot until my cheeks are full. He laughs.

"You're so cute" He said. That made me blush. He's just looking at me. As I'm eating, he stares at my face and finds an angle to laugh at. He suddenly held my cheeks with both his hands. I had no choice but to look at him straight in the eye. "You're so adorable"

I blush much more and pulls away from him. "God! Stop complimenting me as cute and adorable, do you wanna see me tomato red?!" I complained. And he just smirked.

"Oh do I?" He said as he's doing a diabolical smile. He walked around the counter and finally reaching me. He stared for a moment and hugged me unexpectedly. He suddenly went to my ears and whispered. "You're beautiful"

UGH THE COMPLIMENTS ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!

I ran off to the living room and took a pillow. I fought him off with it and I hid in one of the closets full of sofa drapes, curtains, and blankets. I can hear his footsteps coming.

"Come on out, here's your cookies!" He's bribing me. Ughh why does he even have to have delicious cookies. "If you come out, I could give you the whole jar" The whole JAR? nonononooooo

"If not, I'll eat them all" he said. Eat them all?! Nooooo! I bursted out of the cabinet and fell on the floor. He ran to me as he helped me stand up, still holding the cookie jar.

"You better have my cookies" I said as I cross my arms. He held the jar of cookies in front of me and as I was going to take it he asked for a kiss "In the cheek only pleaseee"

He placed the jar in the table and offered his cheek. I was about to kiss his cheek but he turned around and we kissed. He suddenly ran upstairs and closed his door. I heard his door shut closed and I was blankly staring at space. I felt my cheeks got warmer and a blush can be clearly seen.

Ugh why does he have to make me feel bad for leaving? I can't leave him when he's always gonna do this to me. But I gotta think of the future. After I'm done with my mission. I'll get to spend time with him more. I'll do my best to finish this real quick and get my normal life for once.

I finished breakfast and rushed to my bedroom. Preparing my stuff and I texted Vilea that Noah's coming with me.

Vilea: What?! Why?! You know my place isn't a safe place for him!! The weapons!! And security system!! W-we gotta meet somewhere else!

Me: Ohh!! right!! right!! Sorry I forgot! Meet me at the cafe at your street. Diamonds Café is it?

Vilea: Yeah yeah, meet yah there. 10am

Me: See yah

I clearly forgot Vilea's house has weapons and a strict security system. It might consider Noah as an intruder or something like that.

I wore one of the dresses Noah bought me because, yes, I don't have anything else to wear besides those. The dresses are quite comfortable but IT'S EXPENSIVE. The price kills me. I wore a sunflower to dress paired with a pair of yellow closed heels. I went down and I see Noah waiting by the door. As he saw me, he just stared at me with extreme awe. I reached him and just stood in front of him.

"What are you looking at?" I asked as I looked away, shy.

"Something's just missing" he said. He hurried upstairs and left me confused. Something's missing? What is it? He rushed back to me holding a big sun hat. He lets me wear the hat and..

"This will make you look perfect" He said as I blush bright red. "Shall we go?"

He offered his hand to hold mine and we went out together. I'm happy..
