Chapter 35 - Luxury Dishes

Looking at the man who silently eats his sandwich she makes, she propped up her cheek using her right hand.

"So, what did you do when you awake in the middle of the night usually?" She started the conversation.

Glance over at the girl, he coldly replies, "None of your business."

"Hm, so did you always this hungry when you wake up?" She's not giving up. But, she also did not want to push him further when she was just started.

"..." Silent.

After she was sure that he will not answer her question, she stands up and pushes the stools back under the island kitchen countertop, ready to leave

"I gonna go to sleep now. Goodnight, Raymond." She leaves the kitchen area and went back to the room.

….

The next day,

Before she went to bed, she cooks something and places it on the moveable tray table inside the bedroom.

At night, right at 1 AM, Raymond wakes up and he sits up on the bed, leaned his body on the soft leather bedhead tiredly. 'Seriously, why this kid too weak? He only went training for two days and I feel like this body starts to crumbling!'

He sighs and when he noticed the moveable tray table right at his bedside, he averts his eyes on the glass lid with a note on it.

'Eat this. I cook this as an apology for the last night. About the dog and 'dickhead' thing. -Luna-'

He then glances at the couch area with a bit annoyed. He opens the lid and looked at a plate of steak which is a bit warm on the table. The dressing and the sauce seem different from the house chef serving. So, it is possible that she really cook this for him.

"Is she try to ruin my diet?" He grunting while close back the lid.

He then walks to the couch area, but not dare to cross her borderline. He peeks at her on the couch. She was sound asleep on the couch, hugging a cyan color pillow.

"Did you put any poison inside those meals?" He still has doubt about her. What is her intention to make that meal for him?

Shaking his head, he went back to the bed. Open the nightstand table drawer beside his bed and took a tablet from inside it.

He accesses to security monitor and checks on her during the day. Nothing odd. She looks happy to spend time with 'him', and then he moves forward to the few hours before she went to bed.

She loitering around the kitchen with her phone on her hand. He then zooms into the picture on her phone's screen.

'Youtube?' he waits again until she types something. 'How to make a delicious steak?'

"Ah..she's using the source to learn it? Why not just ask the chef?" He mumbling and continue to watch until he was sure there's nothing suspicious she put into the steak.

The time frame when she cooks this is around 11: 45 PM and she bring it into the bedroom is around 12:30 PM, that is why the steak is still warm.

He then put the tablet at his side and move the tray table near the bed. Ready to taste the steak she had prepared.

Eat the first slice, his eyes widen with a bit surprise shown in his face. 'What the heck? Why is she good at cooking when it's supposed to be her first time?'

He took another bite until it finishes fifteen minutes later.

Burp!

He lay back on the bedhead. "Really, how she can be good at cooking?" He murmured.

Looking at the note, he opens the drawer again and took out his pen. Writing something on it before he sticks it back the note to the lid. Close back the plate with the lid, move the tray table, he then stares at the ceiling blankly until he falls asleep.

…

The next morning,

Luna wakes up before Raymond and finds the moveable tray table. She gleefully went to the table and open up the glass lid.

'Yes!' Happy that he eat the steak she makes last night and she closes the lid before she looked at the note. It seems that the 'night' Raymond wrote something on it too.

'Despite how ugly your face is, you're quite know how to cook a luxury dishes. -R-'

She unconsciously smiling looking at the note, not noticing that Raymond already wake up.

"Darling…"

He wrapped his hand around her waist from behind which almost make Luna jump from surprise.

"Oh dear!"

"What's wrong? D-did I s-startled you?" He immediately pulls back his hand in the air. He watched this one movie with Luna last time and there's a scene where's the man hug his wife in the morning, so he thought he wants to try it out.

Turning her body around, she smiles awkwardly to him. If the 'night' Raymond knew this, she's done.

"No, that's not it. I was..not ready when you suddenly hug me like that." Luna explains what she feels to him.

Of course, she's not ready.. she just wants to have a good relationship with both Raymond. Starting as a friend, first.

"Oh..S-sorry then?" He tilting his head a little. He was confused, he actually thinks that he already hug her before. But the memory is quite hazy.

"That's okay, my dear. Breakfast?" She looks at him with a gentle gaze.

Bobbed his head, he smiles happily. "Yes."
