CHAPTER XIII

Lyrinx POV

"Are you okay?" Chris asked me while driving.

"Uhmm Yeah, I am." I answered half lie, I looked at the window and yawned.

"You can sleep, I will just wake you up when we arrived at your house." He suggested.

"No, I will sleep when we arrived." I responded.

"Okay, if that's what you want." He said, taking his full attention at the road.

When we arrived, the lights of my house are off, I was about to go inside when I felt a hand on my own hand.

"You're going there alone?" He asked.

"Yeah, I am, it's not the first time, so I'm used to it now." I answered then smiled at him.

"Why don't you just stay at my house tonight?" I felt heat rushing to my cheeks and I looked away.

"Uh-uhm it's okay, I don't want to burden you." I said.

"Don't worry, you're not a burden, so? hop in, and just like I've said it's dangerous to be alone during night." He said then motion me to come inside again.

When I came in, he hopped in and sat at the driver's seat and starts the engine. We arrived at I guess village, I really don't know the place because it's my first time to be in here, he lowered the window on his side.

"It's me, Chris." He introduced himself.

"Good evening, Sir Chris, they all arrived." The guard said then Chris just nodded and bid his goodbye to the guard.

"Who's they?" I asked, I'm curious so spare me.

"My friends." He answered casually.

"Wow, so you all live at the same village?" I asked.

"Yeah, more like our own village, we're the only one who lives in here and we all buy this lot so yeah." He said casually without a hint of bragging of how wealthy he is.

When we arrived at his house, he parked his car and we both get out, my jaw dropped when I saw how huge it is, it's not a house but a mansion and who the hell would do this huge in the village like this?

It's has second floor, here outside it has so many plants around it, the door is more huge than the usual, we walled towards the door and he opened it, when I stepped inside I saw the most beautiful house I've ever seen, it has a two stairs, the living room is so neat, the carpet seems like it's new. You won't see any dirt.

"Wow, this is your house, I mean mansion?" I asked in amusement.

"Yeah, but it's not a mansion." He said 'correcting' me.

"Come here, I know that you're hungry." He stated then walk towards to I guess kitchen? so I followed him.

We arrived at the kitchen and I saw a woman I guess she's nearly 40's washing the dishes so I rush over to help her.

"I'm going to do this, you can take a rest now." I said politely to her and give her a smile, she smiled back and shook her head.

"I can do it, young man, thank you for your offer." I look at her clearly worried, because she's still working and it's already late for it.

"Elizabeth, can you cook for us, after you did that?" Chris said and I glared at him.

"No." I said sternly then look at the woman, Elizabeth.

"I'm going to cook and you can take a rest after that, please?" I pleased and she nodded her head, and I asked her where the things are.

When I get all the things and ingredients, I started to cook, I'm cooking pasta, as I'm waiting for the water to boil, I'm working on the sauce of it, I stunned when I felt arms around my waist putting apron at me. Chris tied it behind and button the neck part. I'm sure that I'm red as the sauce I am making right now.

"Don't forget to wear your apron while you're cooking." He stated then let go of me.

"ah- uhmm yeah, thank you." I said while blushing and my heart is beating so fast still continuing what I was doing.

After some minutes I calm down and my heart is beating normal, when the noodles are already cooked, I put it in the strainer, when all of the waters already gone I put the pasta at the pan where the sauce is then I mixed it up.

After mixing it up, I grabbed a two plates and put pasta on each plate. I take the two plates and put it on the table in the dinning room, Chris is already there sitting and typing on his laptop, probably doing work again.

"Uhmm here it is, I'm sorry I just made pasta, it's more easy and fast to make." I said then give him a smile.

"It's okay, thank you." He said and I wait for him to taste it. "It's delicious, I didn't know that you can cook." I blush.

"My mom thought me when I was a child to cook so that when they aren't home, I can cook to myself." I replied then start to eat my food.

"Are you always alone in your house?" He asked.

"Not really but mostly, sometimes I invite my friends to come but tonight they can't because they all have something to do." I said, we didn't continue our conversation but we continue to eat.

I'm the first one to finish and I put it in the sink and I was about to wash it when Chris came behind me and put his plate in the dish and said.

"You don't have to clean that up." He stated and pull me away from the sink but I came back infront of it.

"No, it's my plate to wash and I can do it, so why should I wait for them?" I stated and begin to wash the dishes, with Chris behind me.

•Chris POV•

When he said that he mostly alone at their house, I feel sad, I don't know why, but I know that I'm not pitying him, he's perfect, he does know how to cook, to wash dishes, I bet he does know all of the household chores. I stand behind him until he was done cleaning the dishes then I heard him yawned.

"Do you want to sleep now?" I asked him, I know he do.

"Yeah." He answered and yawned again, he slightly rub his eyes to make the sleepiness away.

He walked towards me with his eyes half close, I find it cute and I can't help but to smile. When he got in my spot, he asked where he can sleep, or he should sleep on the sofa.

"You can sleep at one of the guestroom here, follow me." I said and walk, but he doesn't follow me but he just stand there yawning and stretching his arms, I shook my head and went to where I was then picked him up.

He let out a small squeal but he hooked his arms around my neck and snuggles at my chest. I walk towards one of my guest rooms and stepped inside, then I laid him down on the bed, he's already sleeping.

I left the room and close the door, I went to my room not that far from where his room is and sat down then start to continue my work. I heard my phone rings so I picked it up, it's Kaiden.

"Hey, dre why did you call?" I asked.

"Nothing, how's your man?" He asked, I can see the smirk on his face.

"Stop it dre." I said before hanging up the phone, I know that he's just teasing me because I teased him before to Dwayne, I guess karma is working now.
