~~ CARMELA POV~~
After challenging zamiel I feel stupid as I don't even have a plan. I sigh after drinking the bottle of water while making my way back to the room. When I arrived zamiel was already asleep
' oh what a cute husband I have fallen asleep without me ' I scoffed but I wasn't going to sleep on the couch and neither am I going to let him sleep.
I slammed the bottle of water on the table and a crazy idea popped up in my head
I straddled him and scattered my hair with my nails making sure I have that perfect crazy look. I brought my face closer to his and in a blink of an eye, he grabbed me by my neck chocking the life out of me.
I didn't expect him to be so vigilant and it's a good thing but he's about to send me to my early grave
" l...let .... go of me " I struggled to say but thankfully he let go
" Carmela what's wrong with you " I fell on the bed gasping for air while he sat up
" Are you trying to get yourself killed or were you possessed ".
" What !!! ..... you almost killed me and you're asking me stupid questions" I threw a pillow at him
" and what were you doing back there"
" claiming my rights as a wife " I sat up arranging my hair
" What ? " he raised an eyebrow up
" you heard right ... and I'll be sleeping on this bed from now on, if you have a problem you can go sleep on the couch or in your study room "
" Are you kicking me out of my room? "
" shh .... you're mistaking it's our room hubby and am not kicking you out I was just giving you a suggestion... alright goodnight hubby and make sure you dream about me okay " I threw a kiss to him and laid comfortably turning my back to him
" I'll go crazy if I see you in my dream " he murmured and laid back chuckling
*. *. *
I woke up and zamiel was still asleep this is the first day of my one-month challenge and I wasn't going to back out
I smiled seeing the beauty lying beside me, I traced his strong jawline to his high cheekbones, I touched his hollow cheeks to his strong brow ridge, and finally stopped at his lips
his eyes opened slowly revealing his dark eye
" good morning hubby," I said with a smile
" What a way to start the day " he scoffed sitting up
" Why do you have to start the day with such negative words "
" what's wrong with what I said, is anything good about the morning.... no "he stood up and left for the bathroom
I wasn't going to allow his negative behavior to affect me so I ignored his words. He came out of the bathroom dressed up and left for work giving me enough space to think
I picked up my phone, went to google and typed ' how to win a man's heart ' I saw many options but the easiest was cooking but I don't know how to cook mum never let me go close to the kitchen
but I do know a very good chef, my dad.
Although mum is bad at cooking dad is the complete opposite, he usually cooks for us when he's super excited or when he's trying to appease mum. Remembering the way both of them behave makes me chuckle they never want to admit that they are getting old.
I dialed dad's number and he picked it up after the fourth ring
" hey dad," I said with a smile
" my little princess remembered me today huh? I taught you only have time for your husband " I giggled knowing dad was about to pull my leg
" Daddy, you didn't call me either seems you didn't miss me "
" I did even your mum and grandma miss you "
" I miss them too "
" so why did you call I know you didn't call just because you missed me "
damn dad knows me so well
" actually... ahem dad I want to prepare a dish for zamiel and ... " he started laughing cutting me off
" you don't know how to cook right "
" Yeah "
" Okay I'll help you, let's make a video call when you're ready "
" well am ready I want to prepare lunch for him, " I said jumping out of bed, ending the call, and making my way to the kitchen.
" hey aunt " I greeted the chef
" what are you doing here madam " she had the expression that said you're going to get me in trouble
" I want to make lunch for my husband"
" .... "
" don't worry I'll take care of everything" I led her out of the kitchen, closing the door behind her
I quickly sent a face request to dad and he accepted
He instructed me on what to do and sincerely cooking is difficult, the onions made me cry and I couldn't stop sneezing after this am never stepping my feet into this kitchen.
I arrived at the reception with Dean's cooperation and was welcomed with a smile from the receptionist
" ma Mr. Dean is busy in a meeting " she informed me and left me alone in his office.
His office was topnotch, it was wide and decorated with beautiful ornaments like expensive paintings and weird demonic statues
' seems he's a fan of horror movies '
There was a door at the corner of the room and it is door was beautifully carved completely with a fingerprint door lock
The door suddenly opened and zamiel Asher and Xavier walked in
zamiel had his cold look like usual, Asher had a serious face and Xavier looked exhausted
" Hello guys," I said with a smile
Xavier smiled back
" what are you doing here," Xavier asked walking close to me
" I brought lunch "
" Ohh .... nice work " he whispered and winked.
" Okay since we're on lunch break Asher you'll have to treat me," he said going back to where Asher stood
" what " and for the first time I heard Asher spoke
" just shut up and come with me " Xavier pulled him and excused me and zamiel
" Who asked you to bring me lunch " I heard Zamiel's cold voice
" no one I just bought it since it's my duty " I pulled him to his sit.
" you should take a break unless you'll fall sick I pushed his files away and sat on the table
" I prepared lunch, especially for you, actually it's my first time trying to cook and I even cut my self " I showed him the bandages on my fingers
I could tell he was left speechless as he didn't alter any word. I took a spoon full of brown rice onion pilaf
" Now open up " I brought the spoon close to his mouth and he eyed me
" hope it's not poisoned "
" no I didn't poison you ... now open up " I urged and he complied.
I crossed my fingers and closed my eyes hoping it was good when suddenly
" what the fuck I taught you said it was poison free " he screamed wiping his mouth with a tissue
" w..what's wrong "
" did you even taste this? even a dog wouldn't eat this "
" am... am sorry my mum never allowed me into the kitchen so I don't know how to cook, dad was the one who guided me while I was cooking but I didn't taste it am sorry " I apologized feeling bad
" Now I see why your mum never allowed you into the kitchen, it's because you can never get anything right " I get it if he doesn't like the food but he shouldn't hurt my feelings, it was my first time
" I said am sorry "
" you're sorry, first you ruined my night and now you've ruined my remaining day
you're just stupid and can never get anything right so stop trying "
have never been so insulted in my life, I could feel tears beginning to fall on my cheeks but I wiped them off immediately
" am.... am sorry it was my mistake " I covered the flash and left his office trying to hold my tears but immediately I sat in the car I couldn't hold my tears anymore I allowed them to flow like a waterfall
