Desperately into you

CHAPTER 36

"Stop pouting Karina, you look like a duck."

Viel muttered followed by a manly chuckle.

I was glaring at him from time to time because until now I couldn't move on from that embarrassing moment a while ago!

I know he did that on purpose!

His broad back was against mine as he slicing some ingredients for the dishes God knows what it is he's going to cook since I didn't ask, I'm still busy throwing him a sharp gaze.

He chuckle when he glances my way, I'm giving him a murdering look, duck huh?!

" Oh, talk to my hand." I spat at him as I crossed my arms and rested them on the table, I was sitting on the stool and watching his broad back from here.

I heard him chuckle more and shook his head while focusing on what he was doing.

He decided to cook than an order for whatever reasons, After that annoying moment earlier he left me to get dressed. He makes fun of me earlier the reason why I'm almost throwing feet right now.

" Why so feisty, Karina?" He asked innocently but he was not throwing me a look since he was busy setting the pan.

By just watching his every calculated movement as it's telling me that he knows well what his doing. And the flex on his back looks so sexy----- okay stop fantasizing about him, I'm supposed to be grumpy to this unromantic man here in front of me!

I bit my lips and roll my eyes at him.

"Karina huh? the miracle you know how to utter my name now," I snap at him.

But deep inside I love it, It always sounds good whenever calls by my first name.

" Why? isn't that your name?"

" Oh, talk to my hand."

His laughs thundered.

He's very alive tonight, I think the allergist struck caused him good.

He seldom laughs since he always looks grumpy but he was playful tonight, it's like a bit of his energy awaken, it's also the reason why I'm glaring at him 'caused he used his playful side earlier on me.

Well, I should let that slide right, that's a remembrance for me.

" You thought I would really kiss you huh?"

" Oh, shut up"

I forgot to tell you, yes, he's cooking but he's not wearing an apron or something, this man doesn't mind wearing one.

" You're just 16, Karina."

Viel muttered.

I don't know if it's just me or he just sounds so serious when he said that. I can't see his expression though, since his back was against me.

" W-what do you mean?"

He didn't answer me.

I bit my lower lip.

I just realized how stupid I am to think that he will gonna to kiss me!

That struck me the hell out of me to get back in my senses.

I know, we're a bit good and getting along with each other but it doesn't mean we're beyond that. Well, for him we're far from that and we're impossible to have that thing.

I didn't notice that he was done cooking. And he's now transferring on the plain nice plain that pasta, macaroni, and cheese with flecks of bacon and placed it on the bar table, it's good enough space for us two.

I was completely distracted from the negative thoughts that wants to creep in, in my mind a while ago. Well, I should have to focus on what's now and not on what will happen next.

One word I could say about his cooking skills, Excellent. He's a goddamn perfect package.

I shook my head with that thought.

"Here,"

Viel was the one who put the portion of food on my plate. It was mouth-watering.

" Viel that's too much!" I argue Like a kid.

" Eat, you're too thin." He commanded.

I narrow my eyes at him, so? He doesn't like my figure?

" I'm petite."

" Yes, whatever you call it it means the same thing."

Viel nonchalantly muttered before he put his food.

" So, you're saying that you like Bella's?"

I said grumpily. It suddenly pops my mind so...

" Eat, Karina. I'm not saying anything." He commanded, his jaw slightly clenching when he looked at me and noticed that I'm not moving my food.

I hissed before I started eating, in fairness, it's so good.

" You're not answering me maybe you like Bella," I concluded.

"What the f**k? I said eat your food okay? and Bella or whoever is out of it. " He answered in a cold while giving me a warning glare telling me that I should shut my mouth.

Oh-uh, the stringent side of him is now activated.

See? I told yah, that playful Viel a while ago will only last for minutes because now he was back to his usual self, being so stiff and serious.

" So? Do you like her or not? Yes or no?"

I still pursue my question.

His thick brows were almost tangled when he looked at me, he was still chewing his food in a slowly way.

"Yes," he answered and then proceed eating.

My godamn heart stopped for a second and looked at him like he just murdered someone.

"You like h-her?" I asked for so many times now

And it's almost a whisper this time.

" Yes, Karina. She's a good friend and a business friend." He answered in a very uninteresting voice. He's not even looking at me 'cause he was busy with his food.

I sighed in relief. I thought the other way, good thing he stated it clear.

I heard a deep chuckle so I look at the man in front of me.

"Care to share what's funny?" I asked irritably.

"Eat now, Karina. you sound like a f*****g jealous wife there." He answered boldly.

I felt my cheek heated up when says that in a very casual way but damn it affect me!!

" I'm not jealous!"

"Yes you're not," he answered boredly.

" Yes, I'm not."

" Shut the f**k up Karina and eat now"

He groaned like his patience is about to rip because of me.

" Cut the profanity, you frosty."

I copy his line.

He glared at me.

I roll my eyes at him.

And just like always, he sighed in defeat and just shook his head.

My lips curled up for a cute smile.

Why the hell does he looks so adorable and hot at the same time!...

I stopped for a moment when I remembered my parents, oh goodness they probably noticed that I wasn't anymore at the party right now.

" What's the matter."

Viel asked when he noticed it. He's so alarmed huh?

" We should--- I mean I should go back now, My parents-----" I didn't finish what I was about to say when he interrupts me.

" I already informed them, now eat."

So bossy. He has really this commanding attitude.

" But, we're going home tomorrow! It'll be early because my dad has something to attend to, and if you know him, he's not fond of waiting! I should go now." I panicked.

" They will not We talked and they will go to visit the site with my dad so basically, you and your parents will going to stay a day or two, here in Seattle since your dad wants to see how's the condition of some various stuffs. Your mother agrees to that too." He seriously stated and sip on his water.

" You sure, ?"

He nodded.

We're done eating, it's 1:00 a.m.

I stood up and look this pale blue nightgown I was wearing,

I pouted.

Viel suddenly stood up and walked towards his room.

After a few minutes.

When he returned, he was holding a shirt and boxers, it was his.

He stood up in front of me and just like always, I have to tilt my head up to look at him.

" Here, wear this. You can use my bathroom."

He said---- no it's more likely a command.

I didn't say anything when I get the spare clothes from his hold and walked toward the bathroom,

I slowly graze his clothes on my nose, nuzzled.

His manly scent was very addicting.

I slow down my pace when I'm getting out of the bathroom door, Well, he doesn't have girl staff on his toiletries so, I use his shower gel, it smells like him, I smell like him.

I was wearing his white T-shirt that looks like oversize on me. It reached my knees and the black boxer I was wearing was covered by this large shirt

I don't know what's got into Viel, 'cause I'm still in awe wondering why he brought me here,

Maybe just because he wants to, after all, Viel is someone I can't just predict since he's very unpredictable.

I haven't received a call from my parents, so Viel was probably saying the truth and I already know that my parents trust the son of their best friend so much that they didn't even text or call me.

I shook my head, whatever

"Are you done?"

"What the f**k?!" I jolted.

I was busy with my own thoughts here and he will just show up from nowhere using his cold deep voice, wouldn't be surprised by that?!

" Mind your words, Karina, I'm just asking if you're done.

I noticed that he changed his clothes from a plain grey shirt earlier to a black plain t-shirt right now, though he didn't change his cargo shorts.

I bit my lower lip, the clothes that I was wearing feels so comfortable and smelled so addicting it's just that I look like a minion in front of him, especially this shirt I was wearing looked almost like a dress on me.

I looked at him, and he was crossing his arms while scanning from head to toe. I'm okay though, aside from my dump hair.

" You don't have a blower?" I asked as I looked around.

I know he has one because he has long hair, one of my favorite parts of him, when he got out of his room it was perfectly dry already.

" In my room." He responded and turned his back on me.

" Hey---"

" Follow me, Karina." He plainly said while he opened the door of his room.

I immediately followed him just like what he said. When I entered his room, it was so manly almost blue and black color dominates in here, and the glass wall had a view from outside.

He picked something from the drawer, it was a black hair dryer. I sat on his bed, and can't help but run my fingers on it. The comforter was black and his pillows were white.

I watch him plug in and started it.

" Thanks," muttered and I tried to the hair dryer from him but he was not letting me.

" Hey, give that I can do it myself----"

He cut me off.

" Just shut up, Karina. Sit straight and stay f*****g still! you brat you keep on moving,"

I puffed my breath, my dad and Viel has a huge common when it comes to a controlling attitude.

I rolled my eyes and let him, I was quiet the whole time while he was standing beside the bed, beside me.

I could only hear our breaths, he was not saying anything though, he was focused on drying my hair.

I couldn't stand the silence so I call him.

" Viel?"

" What?" He lowly asked while doing his thing on my hair.

" A week from now will be my birthday," I said, though he didn't ask, he will never ask such things though

" Uh-huh?" He simply answered.

He was on my back and I hardly restrained myself to react every time his fingertips touched my neck to blow dry it thoroughly.

" I'm turning 17!" I almost exclaimed, I bit my lower lips when I sounds too excited.

" Still a minor." He lazily answered.

My face instantly grimace when I heard him say that.

" Seriously Vile?! What's your problem with age?

See? At least I looked more mature than my age." I explained as if it was needed. I even angled my body.

" I said don't move," he ordered grumpily.

"Alright, alright!.... frosty," I mumbled but the last word I just whispered that I use to call him since it suits him a lot

" Do you know that your second name sounds so hot? Conrad, it's nice!" I said randomly,

I really find it too good

" Uh-huh?" He lazily answered.

" Yes! And your hair, it looks so good on you!"

I'm comfortable saying all of that, it's all true anyway.

Conrad sounds hot and suits him but I prefer to call him, the word that I always use on him and that is frosty!

I chuckled with my thoughts.

"It's done, let's sleep," Viel says and fixes the hair dryer, and returned to the drawer once again.

I stood up and looked at him.

Vile was now carrying a new huge pillow and a comforter.

"Sleep now, Karina. It's almost 2 in the morning."

He commanded.

"But---" he cut me off, I was about to ask if we'll share the same bed or what.

" Sleep on my bed, I'll be on the couch," He said with a serious stone.

Ohh.

I'm still standing here while watching him fixing his pillow on the grey couch here in his room, I thought he'll to take the couch on the outside.

We're sleeping in the same room, I'm on his bed and he's on the couch.

Gentleness strikes him, people in the world!

I watched him trying to fit in and be comfortable as he lies on the couch.

" Viel? Are you sure you'll be okay there? We can share----" I chuckled when his face crumpled before I could finish what I was about to say a while ago.

" You, brat. Shut up and sleep now, Karina. Before I'll throw you out." He warned.

I chuckled as if he will do that,

" Oh, scary!" I chuckle.

I saw him close his eyes, I stopped from making noise and just watch him rest and arms on his forehead, he was sleeping. He must be very tired.

I lie on his bed when I noticed that he was not moving, he probably fall asleep immediately.

My lips rose as I stared at the ceiling and hugged his pillow which smelled so good and smelled like him.

I glance at him.

" Good night, Viel," I said almost whispering, he probably did not hear it though. I was clouded with thoughts until I fell into a deep slumber
