Love me again

Passionate Kiss

Since they both have a car, Matthew led the way and Anna followed.

They arrived at a five star hotel 15 minutes later. They went inside without a word. Matthew pressed the elevator door.

"I thought we were having dinner, Sir. The restaurant is that way, isn't it?" Anna inquired.

"I know. But I thought you don't want others to see that you're dining with me." he said smiling. "We're dining there." he said pointing above.

Still, Anna is nervous. She became uncomfortable. She looked at herself in the elevator door. She wore a simple black dress with blazer and a medium high heels.

"Relax, Anna. I'm a good person. I just want to thank you and to get to know you, my saviour." he said assuring her.

They arrived at the top floor. They entered the presidential suite. The living area is cozy with black grey and white theme. There is a dining room overlooking the living room. She looked around. There seemed to be two bedrooms.

" I live here. Those rooms were mine and Jack's." he said pointing the rooms respectively.

"Hmn.. I haven't seen Jack today, Sir." she said. Just to have something to say. she still feel a little uncomfortable. Although she is not married to Gabriel anymore, she is still wary of getting intimate with men. She was scared of getting into another bast*rd.

"He left to take care of some problems in Chicago branch. He'll be back on Monday." he said.

"Have a seat, Anna. Make yourself comfortable." He handed her a menu. What do you want to eat?" he said.

"Anything is fine with me, Sir. The simpler the better." she said. She doesn't want a heavy meal at night.

"Okay then, I'll cook." he said. He took off his jacket and rolled his sleeves. She looked at Anna and smiled.

"You can watch the tv as I prepare our simple dinner." he said.

Feeling amazed, Anna couldn't believe herself that this outstanding man can cook.

"Are you sure? I mean this cooking thing? We can order.." She was uncomfortable that his boss will cook for her.

"No worries, Anna. I won't burn the whole place." he said chuckling while opening the fridge.

Anna got up and walked towards the kitchen.

"What do you have here?" she asked. She wanted to help.

"I'm preparing some pasta and chicken. Is that okay?" he said.

"Yeah. It's fine. What can I do to help, Sir?" Anna wanted to help in preparing dinner.

"Just grab a bag of lettuce and a bag of veggies in the fridge. let's have a little vegetable salad on the side. What do you think?" he asked.

Anna prepared the veggies, put it in a bowl and set aside. She stared at Matthew who is busy preparing the chicken and pasta. He looked so handsome even from the back view. His shoulder muscles and biceps were well defined on his t-shirt. For her, men cooking in the kitchen, especially this handsome, as very attractive.

Matthew noticed that she was staring at him.

"What? Is this the first time you saw a man in an apron, Anna?" he was smiling mischievously.

She knew she was blushing for being caught in act while staring at him. She cannot deny the fact that Matthew is indeed very handsome and with a sense of humor. This was the man she saved two years ago...

Few minutes and she saw him plating the dishes. She wondered if he was a professional chef for a very smooth actions in the kitchen.

"Please bring the salad to the table, Anna. We will eat shortly." he said. Anna felt like she saw him in slow mo. From being so engrossed on the food preparation to slowly looking up to her and meeting his eyes. He was like the mighty Adonis who was so captivating..

"Will yah?" he asked again.

"Y-yeah.. Of course." she grab the salad and put it in the dining table. Matthew followed her carrying two plates of fettuccine pasta with a garlic chicken on top. The dish looked delicious and flavourful.

Matthew put one plate infront of her and opposite her, he seated. But he quickly stand up as if he forgot something. He went to the wine counter to get a red wine and two wine glass. He poured the two glasses with wine and said...

"Here you go, Ma'am. Enjoy your meal. Bon appetit! " he said teasing her.

"Thank you, Anna... for saving me and for agreeing to have dinner with me." he said with sincerity in his eyes.

"Don't mention it, Mr. Daniels." she said blushing.

"Please call me Matthew..." Matthew is holding a strong gaze on her.

Anna looked down on her food.

"They are delicious, Matthew. I can't believe you are such a good cook." she praised his cooking.

"Thank you. I really can cook. But I rarely do it. Only for special people in my life." he said looking at her. She feels uncomfortable with those gazes.

'What are you up to, Matthew? I swear, I can't fall for your trap, if this is one.' she said in her mind.

They talked about the company and the other companies his siblings were managing. Matthew also asked about Enzo. He seemed so fond of children as he told her about his 2 nephews about the same age as Enzo.

He even asked if she has pictures of the child. She fondly show him her Enzo's pictures when he was a little boy to recent. No photo of Gabriel were seen on those pictures. Matthew felt better, it means Gabriel is not important in her life anymore. As they are talking, they didn't notice the time and that Anna drank too much wine. She felt tipsy at the moment. Anna looked at the time. 15 minutes passed midnight...

" Oh my, I have to go. It's so late! She said as she quickly stand up. Becauae she is already tipsy, she almost fell if not for the strong arms that held her.

Matthew almost hugged her. His breath is fanning her face. She looked him in the eyes. She saw longingness... and desire.

"M-Matthew..." she whispered...

"Anna... God!" Matthew's eyes went dark then sealed her lips with a fervid passionate kiss.
