Chapter 9 - AGAIN

Another workday, I went earlier than him because he keeps asking for five more minutes. He looks troubled as he entered his office giving me a glare, I contained my laugh and greeted him but he ignored me. So much from working, this week is gonna be busy. I just bought some soda and chips for lunch I don't really feel like eating a whole meal today. "Unhealthy" he scoffed. "Stubborn" I scoffed and Shook my head then left to get some water but he stopped me instead and handed me a bottle of water. He rolled my eyes and left immediately, he will be attending lots of meetings.

I was working my ass out the whole day and him too, well too much than I did. We came home and went directly in bed and cuddled up, still in work clothes. Comfort; Home. I woke up alone in the bed in his clothes. I'm hungry, I looked for snacks in the kitchen. Wait, where is he. Did he left? in this hour?! I was about to find him when the doornob turned revealing him in his jacket and pants ALL BLACK, he stared at me fear was evident in his eyes.

"I just...went out for a snack" he tried to escape but I pulled out my play knife.

"OKAY OKAY CHILL, I KINDA WENT UHM HUNTING. A BIT" His voice was pure terrified. "Ugh without me?" I complained.

His eyes lit up like he won jackpot, " You won't get out of this, where did you go?" His aura changed.

"Well, it's not me who started it. Why would you choose to mess with the largest group. Do you honestly want your self killed?" how did he know.

"You know I have my reasons, it's none of your business" I slammed the door shut before him and stormed to the kitchen.

"Do you think you can beat them by yourself, I thought you wanted me to be with you." he was angry but maintained his voice low.

"I don't wanna end up feeling like I'm living in hell knowing that i could've saved you, I could've been more careful. You are too precious to loose." I stood by the counter.

"Do you think I'd let your existence fade? I went all the way, every effort to have you back, please take care of yourself when I'm not around. Trouble follows you" I'm a trouble magnet, that might be the problem.

"I'm sorry" he spoke after a minute of silence and looked at me with puppy eyes.

"I'm sorry" I went to him and hugged, inhaling his manly scent. This was what I dreamed of. But I will still continue what's left unfinished, if risking mine would save his life then be it.

Now, I have truly understood that loving someone isn't just about flowers and sunsets it's all about how you would give up everything for them, life is full of pain, hence find someone woth suffering for. And he is worth every torn.

I pinched him before pulling out of the hug, "aw was that really necessary?" he rubbed his back. "Oh come on it wasn't even that hard, it's a pinch promise" I laughed, "what even is a pinch promise?" his brows furrowed. "I made it all up but basically, I will pinch you every time I make promises but only if it is for a lifetime." He was confused for a second but I think he got the point of my pointless creation. "So the promise you made was for a lifetime huh?" he smirked. "Yes and you can't do nothing about it" I left him, went to my room to change my clothes; took a warm bath. I came back to him having trouble in the kitchen, dirty clothes and the table was a mess. "Having troubles?" he was busy but still gave me a smile to assure me, "the video says how to make a delicious dinner for twenty minutes then it told me to marinate the chicken for six hours, I'm literally so confused" I giggled and went to the rescue.

"Well, that's complicated. Why don't we just cook a simple dinner for us huh?" I asked helping him keep the mess, "that would work" we both agreed and joined forces to cook and make the table. Placed some decorations to make it a romantic dinner.

"I don't want to rush anything" I said as I opened a bottle of wine, "both of us agree" he said. "But there is something I want to express to you."

He pulled out a ring, "I lost you before, but now you are here and I would give anything just to make sure you'll never disappear again. Take this ring as a promise of my love, dead or alive, my soul is forever entangled with yours." He slid it to my finger, all this time it was swinging loosely in his pocket. "In this way I don't have to pinch you for a lifetime promise" he chuckled.

"Fair enough" I raised my glass of wine for a toast.

"But that ring means you will marry me, soon" I almost choked.

"Chill, no rush" he chuckled and planted a soft kiss on my lips.

"The finest wine ever" he smirked.
