BILLIONAIRE IN THE DARK

Chapter 11: Lara

I was almost carried away when I saw his abs and shorts until I saw his face when he held my shoulders, his beards was still really full and his hair was not styled well like it was on our wedding day and now today he is wearing some thick ass eye glasses if I'm correct it should be a nael-round eyeglasses and it really looks weird on him.

"So let's use the opportunity to get to know ourselves as we are now.... you know" he said bringing me out of my thoughts while mixing the batter for the waffles I requested.

"Things like what?" I asked and then took another bite from the apple in my hands.

"Like age, full name, hobbies, likes and dislikes and the rest" I said, still concentrating on what he is doing.

"Hmmm" I said trying to swallow the apple in my mouth, which made him turn around after I did not answer immediately, I had put a hand up to stop him and he went back to what is doing.

"Ok, why don't you start" I said not willing to share anything without him starting first

"No, no, no I was the one that suggested it so you should be the one to start" he said pointing the hand mixer at me.

"Ok, ok, let me start" this is going to be weird. I had to clear my throat a little to compose myself and I heard a giggle from him

Wait, why did he giggle? Did I do any wrong? Lara, compose yourself

I have issues with talking to strangers, even though I am married to one. I had to breathe in and then out before I started "ok so my full name is Lara Isabelle Ellington," he interrupted me with a cough and turned around to look at me, ahhhhh with made me roll my eyes because I know what he mean "Oh sorry Armstrong," I said while rolling my eyes which made him smile and turned and continued what he was doing.

I coughed and then continued, "I am 27 years old, I know that seems older compared to be cousin, who is 23 years." I paused, expecting him to look at me in disgust, but instead, after some minutes of waiting while I looked at his back, he just turned to look at me with an eyebrow raised to tell me to go on, and I breathed out. That's when I realized that I was actually holding my breath.

I just continued since he did not say anything. "So what of you?"

Without turning around, he responded audibly, "Ok, my full name is Nathan James Armstrong. I am 29 years old. I am from the U.K., of course," he said, walking around setting the dish while I rolled my eyes because, of course, he is from the U.K. His family company has been here for a long time.

"And I'm done with the waffle," he said, then turned around with a smile, a tray of waffles with whipped cream and strawberries on top.

Ok, I just realized I wasn't even paying attention to what he was doing.

"Hmm, fancy," I said when he dropped it on the table at my front, while I touched the whipped cream with my finger and licked it off my finger, hoping he would not catch me.

"Heyy. Stop it," he said, making me freeze with my fingers still in my mouth while I smiled out of guilt wth my finger in my mouth.

And instead, he just smiled back, shook his head, and carried the plates to the dining room, while I followed him. Before I could pull the chair to sit down, he beat me to it.

Suspicious, "Hmmm," I said, giving him the suspicious eye while I sat down, even though he was not looking in my direction, as he headed back to the kitchen.

Before long, he came back with yogurts and sat down opposite me with waffles in front of both of us.

"Let's just hope this tastes good," I cut a slice and started eating without waiting for this go-ahead, and surprisingly, it was really, really good, which made me widen my eyes in surprise.

Wow, why is this good? I'm not sure I can even make waffles as delicious as this.

And when I carried my head up, he was just looking at me, smirking with his cutlery in his hand.

"So what do you think?" he said in a sassy tone

"Don't feel too big of yourself. It isn't even that good, but hmmm, I can manage since this is nothing else" I said because I cant just admit it was good.

"Ohh is that so” he said then tried to take my plates while smiling which I immediately caught his hand.

“Hey don’t do that. I’m hungry so I can manage” I said, holding my plates tightly while he withdraw his hand back while laughing.

I did not even look at him, i just started eating.

We talked and talked and talked while eating.

At least he is a cool person to talk to.
