Chapter 40 - Easy there tiger

I went up my room and removed my clothes. I went straight to the shower. Thinking about what happened earlier now makes me smile. It actually felt romantic the way he came to pick me up. I can feel whole evening that Tae-hoon was hitting on me. He is actually good-looking, and I found out he actually studied at Stanford University. I finished up washing myself and put on a comfortably oversize shirt. I felt much better after that shower. I went down and he already set the table by the kitchen island.

"Better?" he asked when he saw me.

"Much better…" I replied. Before sitting down to enjoy the soup. I took a wine and 2 wine glass.

"You're still not satisfied with drinking?" he asked

"Wine is not alcohol, it's a normal beverage…" I teased. He offered to open the wine. I finally got to look at him. I wrapped my hands around his waist.

"I miss you so much and I hate you…" I proclaimed. He put down the wine and remove my hands. He looked at me seemingly stunned.

"You say you hate me when you have not even said you like me yet; you're hurting my feelings…"

"I hate you for making me miss you. I hate you for being so sweet just now… because it made me feel lacking."

"Wow that was the sweetest 'I hate you' confession that I have ever heard…" he teased.

"I hate you…" I teased again and he pulled me towards him and planted me a kiss.

"I miss you." He admitted. He looks at me wanting more, asking for my permission and I gave in. I can't seem to resist his charm. We are in the honeymoon stage of our relationship, and I don't want to ruin it. I want to live for the moment, just feeling it.

To hell with the soggy noodles. His kisses are better to sober me up anyway. I hooked my hands on his neck and my legs on his waist without breaking the kiss.

"Why would your bedroom be in the 2nd floor?" He seemed so frustrated while carrying me up to the bed.

"Why do we need to be in the bed?" I tease.

He must have complained but he still ended up carrying me all the way to the bed. Like as if he was a tiger that haven't been fed for days, he attack ferociously. His kisses got deeper and hungrier as he started unbuttoning his shirt

"Easy there tiger..." I laughed at his urgency.

That could have been his signal to act more fierce as he pull up my legs towards him and took the hem of my shirt and put it up, not removing his gaze on my body. I felt warm all over, I'm not sure if it's still the alcohol or the hormones that's taking over.

I woke up the next morning and he is already out of bed. I have a meeting at Namdo's by 9, based on the schedule they gave me, I will be meeting with their PR team. I went downstairs and he is busy preparing breakfast with his laptop on the table.

"Good morning, you…" I greeted and made my coffee. He reached for a morning kiss.

"Morning, sorry about the mess," he is apologetic.

"So, you're this busy in the morning, huh?" I echoed his comment from last time,

"I just needed to send the report for the China project. I would have sent it last night but…" his eyes teasing.

"I have a meeting at 9 at Namdo's," I stated.

"I know…" he casually uttered.

"You know?"

"Well, Nan-do can't keep his secrets for long…" his answers are brief, his eyes are glued on his laptop.

He made a breakfast spread, toast bread, sausage, fried eggs and cut fruits.

"I don't usually eat breakfast…" I grabbed a fried egg and some cut apples to my plate. His eyes are still at the monitor.

"Thanks for the food. I'll head up to prepare now." I stated. He looked at me in passing.

"I'm sorry. I need to review the report and I will be there shortly…"

"It's fine, take your time."

I would not be expecting him to join me for the shower, otherwise it would take much time again. It's already half past 7, by the time I'm done getting ready it will be an hour max. It took me half an hour to have a shower, and he is by the door when I opened the bathroom. He pulled me for a hug and kiss.

"I haven't greeted you properly this morning," he remarked, and he showered me with kisses on my lips to my neck.

"We'll be late…" I escaped from his embrace and casually pull away. He chuckled and went straight inside the shower.

I saw his clothes prepared by the steam iron stand in my walk-in closet. So, he knows how to take care of his stuff? I thought he needs Joon-o to do everything for him. I know he is not always wearing suit when going to work, he only wears them when he has meetings with investors and directors. Otherwise, he wears casual clothes for work daily. Right now, he's going to wear a black denim pant, a white polo and a black cashmere shirt, and a grey coat with a very casual black leather loafer.

He has a very advance fashion sense; I give him that. This felt so comfortably weird. It feels like we are an official couple heading out for our workday. I shook my head and smile with that thought. I decided to also look casual. I put on my Spanx black tights and put on a box pleated black satin skirt and a mustard chiffon turtleneck with balloon sleeve. I finished putting on my outfit when he came out from the shower.

"I see you already took over my dressing room…" I taunted.

"I won't say I took over; this is just one outfit…" he replied.

"This is nice…" I blabbered. He smiled.

"It is, isn't it?" He agreed.

I finished putting a simple make-up, light foundation, eyeliner, a hint of eyeshadow and mascara, and lipstick. I put some documents, face moisturizer, make-up bag and my tablet in my new brown Mirta tote bag. He finished getting ready before me and he brought with him his bag when he went down. I reached for the dark brown Hazel Ugg half-boot and black Zara winter cape. It was already half past 8 when we are in the car. It takes only 10 minutes by car from the Loft to Yongsan. He drove all the way to the basement parking, although I still didn't get my parking ID, they let us in when they recognize who is driving the car. There's a different elevator to go up to Namdo and to his office, Namdo is on the left wing, while his office is on the right. But he rode the elevator with me going to Namdo's office.

"Are you not late for work?" I notify.

"Not really, my first schedule is a morning meeting at Namdo's", he smiled.

"This meeting, is it about a research proposal?" I have my suspicion. He smiled.

"I really didn't catch the topic, but they called me to discuss about it. I'm still after all a director of this company…" he is still acting oblivious.

"Who am I meeting exactly?" I try to get it out of him. But he just casually shrugged off his shoulder, his phone rang, it was Joon-o.

"We will just discuss the extent of your proposal. I can't stay long since I have a meeting at 10. But I suspect, that Seo-hyun and Nan-do just wanted a confirmation…" he declared.

"Confirmation? On what…?"

"You and me…"
