Not wanting the whole atmosphere to become cringy, she acted like she didn’t hear what he’d said.
“I know you heard what i said but it’s not what you think” he said and she stared at him.
“And what do you think I think?” She asked
“I don’t love you as a person, I love you as a chef” he said and for some reason, his words hurt her but she decided to play cool.
“That’s what I was thinking ” she said and they both chuckled
“But for real, I love your food. It’s the best I’ve ever had” he told her and she smiled
“My cousin thought me to cook ” she said and paused, it was obvious she didn’t want to continue but she’d already started and gotten him interested in the conversation so she had to continue.
“And your mum, I’ve never heard about your mum” he told her and she got off the bed
“You don’t know me so it’s fine if you don’t know her.. you don’t even need to know her ” she said before going to get a napkin and cleaning his mouth.
After she had finished feeding him, she took the plates and as she was about leaving the room, he spoke.
“Thank you” he said and she nodded her head
“For what exactly?” She asked
“For taking care of me of course” he said
“I’m only doing my job ” she said
“And what job is that?”
“The job I’m entitled to doing under you”
“You have two jobs with me, one as my personal bodyguard and the other as a woman who’ll make me fall for her” he said “so which one?”
“Both of them” she said and walked out of the room.
THAT NIGHT..
As he walked out of the bathroom with her a towel tied around his waist, he smiled on seeing her dress his bed. She didn’t realize that he’d walked out of the bathroom and hence, she remained engrossed in what she was doing.
He smiled to himself, he hadn’t really watched a lot of movies but he knew one thing for a fact, watching a lady you liked dress your bed was arousing.
He walked to her and hugged her from behind, putting his hands around her.
“Ouch!” She winced in pain as he hugged her injured spot. He immediately let go of her, how could he have forgotten that she was short there and by him at that.
“I’m so sorry!” he apologized as he helped her sit on the bed and when she stared at the bed, she realized that it had gotten a little messy from her sitting on it. She held on to her stomach, since she’d brought Daniel over, she hadn’t taken care of herself and it had been a whole day.
“Wait for me” he told her as he went to the cupboard. He didn’t know his way around the room but he knew one thing for sure, the first aid kit was in the cupboard.
He found it in time and took it before limping to the bed.
“What are you doing?” She asked him as he took out some ointments and a bandage
“You’re injured. I’d shot you, I have to make up for that ” he said as he signaled for her to raise her top and she shook her head shyly
“You’re a trained assassin. I’m sure you could do anything besides, I want you to seduce me with that body of yours ” he whispered naughtily and even though she was hesitant, she finally gave in after a lot of conviction.
She inhaled deeply, she knew she needed the treatment after all. She slowly raised her dress and he stared at her stomach in shock, it was nothing like he’d expected as the wound on her stomach had become even bigger and hence, worse.
“Oh my goodness!” He exclaimed
“There’s no need to exclaim, I’ve gotten bigger injuries than this and one’s that have even threatened to claim my life” she said and he immediately put his index finger on her lips and shook his head while she stared at him.
“You suffered worse because you didn’t have me with you but now… you have me with you and I’ll make sure to always take care of you” he told her and she smiled, that was the sweetest anyone had ever being to her but then after a few seconds, her countenance changed.
She was supposed to be seducing him, she was supposed to be making him fall for her but she wasn’t doing any of that yet he was being so sweet to her, he was giving her such assurance and she felt cringed by it.
This was the best time, they were so close to each other and this had to be the best time to work a little charm on him. She put her palm on his face and carved a little smile, “will you really take care of me?” She asked
“Of course, I will ” he said and she smiled.
Slowly, he took off the bandage and when he saw the wounds, he felt bad. He clenched his fists, he didn’t know what was so special in her, he’d met many other girls and many other seductresses but her, she wasn’t a seductress but an assassin. She did strange things to him to the extent that he even offered for her to be his personal seductress.
She stared at him as he finally took off the bandage and started dressing her wounds. She remembered watching some movies where the girl would wince and then the guy would feel bad and get even closer to her.
“Ouch!” She winced in a seductive voice as she stared at him before biting her lower lip.
He carved a little smile, “I know you Kathryn, little things don’t hurt you” he told her with a smirk and she rolled her eyes.. how was she so predictable!
He was almost done dressing her wounds when he suddenly popped a question.
“May I ask you a question Kathryn? It’s been on my mind since I regained consciousness ” he told her
“You’re a mafia don, you kill without permission so why do you need permission before getting an answer from me?” She asked and chuckled
He stared at her, she was right. He was a don, one feared by all, one ruthless in every way so why was he asking permission before popping a question?
“Why did you take the bullet for that man?” He asked.
