375 Why was he being childish again? (2/2)

It was another fifteen minutes before he finally pulled herself from her. She looked at him with a smile. Both her hands cupped his cheeks.

”Do you feel better now?” she asked after they shared another kiss.

”Hmm...”

”Can I go to cook now?” she asked.

”Are you still hungry?” he asked.

”What do you think?” she cocked an eyebrow. Then, she leaned forward to kiss his lips gently before pulled herself and stood up.

”Stay,” he said, grabbing her hand to prevent her from walking away.

”I'm just going to the kitchen. I'm not leaving you. Don't worry,” she coaxed. With another chuckle, she leaned down to press another kiss against his lips. She could no longer remember how many times she kissed him but no matter. She did like kissing him. It made her heart flutter.

It took her another ten minutes to coax him. And two more kisses to make him feel better. With another giggle, she walked to the kitchen. ”Behave yourself.”

He watched her leaving with a sad expression. He did not want to be separated from her. He needed her in front of him all the time in order to feel better. Couldn't she understand that? Why wouldn't she understand that?

She shook her head when she reached the kitchen counter. Why was he so childish and needy today? It was totally unlike him.

And somehow right now she was not pissed with the way he was behaving. Her heart kept fluttering. She swore the wall protecting her heart cracked even more.

”Ryn, take a hold of yourself,” she told herself as she slapped her cheeks a few times to gather her thought. What should she do next? Should she allow him to completely own her heart... again?

Once she managed to calm herself, she went to check what was left in the kitchen. Hopefully, there was something she could make to fill her stomach. She was getting hungrier by the minute now and she did not think she would have the patience to go to a restaurant and wait for the service. And what if the service was not up to her expectation?

She rummaged through the whole area and shook her head. She gave up. She only found some eggs and cereals. There were also wilted vegetables and out of date canned food. And something weird in the polystyrene packet. She did not dare to smell to check what it was. She simply threw everything not consumable into the trash bin with a frown.

Why didn't he clean up the kitchen? Even if he did not cook and only ate a take-away because he was not a good cook anyway, he should notice all these things already turned bad. Well, except for the eggs, cereal, and milk of course. She bet he had eggs and cereal for breakfast and maybe for dinner too.

She quickly made quick work of boiling the eggs. At least it could keep the hunger at bay before she went to get more food. Hmm... She took out her phone and searched for the delivery of food available in the area. Checking the estimated time the food would arrive, well, most of the food available would take more than half an hour to arrive. So, she should eat while waiting for it to arrive or she would get starved.

While waiting for the eggs to boil, she made quick work of ordering several foods. Even if she could not finish them, they could have them for dinner.

And apparently, if the man had the mood for it, they could go out and buy groceries. They seriously needed to do their grocery shopping as soon as possible.

Well, the coaxing and persuasion would occur after she had her meal. Before that, she would not even bother to list down what both of them needed.

She did not check on Jeremy while waiting for the eggs to be ready. She simply leaned her back against the counter and crossed her arms. And waited. It would not take long for the eggs to be ready. And she did not need much anyway. Just five eggs were enough for her. And two eggs for him... if he wanted some.

”Ryn, what are you doing so long in the kitchen?” his voice disturbed her daydreaming. She opened her eyes and looked at him.

He was giving her a puppy-eyed look again, standing right in front of her.

Her lips twitched at the sight. Why was he being childish again?
