Time passed too quickly whenever something special is happening in Mirena's life. She didn't want to wake up from a beautiful dream anymore.
Mirena smiled sweetly when she remembered what Drake said earlier about a long-term relationship. It gave her an assurance that he would court her sooner or later.
At that moment, she leaned her head into his bare chest. It was one of her favorite things after three rounds. Her eyes were too heavy, yet she didn't want to lose the opportunity to be with him.
She said, "Hmm, are you sleepy?"
The mafia king shrugged off his shoulders as he caressed her hair gently. He didn't want either to sleep right away and waste every second.
"Not yet and I want to spend the entire night with you," Drake replied and smiled. He then reached for her soft hands, "Hmm, do you want to do something else?"
It was the perfect question he had ever asked. Mirena often watched some of the famous rom-com series before and she wanted to do the same scene right now.
Most couples nowadays did the same thing after making out love. It somehow relaxed the body and mind in a few hours.
By then, she tapped her forehead and smiled widely.
"Bingo! Why don't we watch some series? What do you think about it?"
It was evident that she was happy because of him. Mirena continued to smile and even blink her eyes which effortlessly convinced Drake.
After all, he wanted to make unforgettable and sweet memories with her. An act of bittersweet revenge must be accomplished at the end of the day and watching series together is included on the bucket list.
Drake slightly tilted his head, looking intently into her face. He couldn't either resist the heiress' charisma as it was one of the factors that caught his attention a few years ago.
"Wait for me in the living room. I'll prepare some snacks for us." He spoke.
"Alright, that's great! And by the way, kindly bring fries with spicy sauce. Thank you!" Mirena replied as she quickly walked into the living area.
At the same spot, Drake watched and looked at her perfect back. He couldn't believe that everything is happening according to his plan.
Sooner and later, Mirena Miller would be one of the unlucky businesswomen in the industry because of her arrogance and ignorance. She unknowingly entertained a venomous snake that could bite her from behind.
A mischievous smile flaunted on Drake's face, biting the bottom of his lips.
"You'll die because of my venom, Mirena. You will regret giving your all to me." He whispered and smirked.
Right then, Drake Quinn walked back into the kitchen. He opened the fridge and checked what he got for snacks. There was one large pack of fries and ready-to-cook potato chips.
Aside from Mirena's request, Drake made some popcorn to make it real. It didn't take long as he put the fries into a bowl.
Before going to the living area, he suddenly remembered the best pair with fries.
"Oh, I almost the spicy sauce!" Drake exclaimed as he quickly took a small plate and brought the spicy sauce into the bottle.
By then, he walked towards the said spot, carrying a black tray. He looked like a supermodel because of his firm composure and masculine physique.
Drake never knew that he had to be skillful enough. Earning Mirena's trust wasn't easy as he should work extra harder and exert effort all the time.
However, if he truly wants to succeed, he must do anything until Mirena falls into a deep, life-threatening trap.
From a distance, he caught Mirena dancing and spinning around carelessly. She was still barefoot and it seems surprising.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat and didn't realize that he was smiling. Drake couldn't hide the genuine feelings he felt before.
Until Mirena caught him looking in her way.
She said, "How long have you been standing there?"
Her soft voice brought him back to reality. Drake took a deep breath and gave her a jaw-dropping smile.
"Y-yes!" He replied shortly.
But deep inside, his heart was filled with happiness. Despite everything that happened between them, Drake couldn't lie to himself.
"By the way, I brought your order."
"Oh, thank you so much!" Martina took the bowl of fries and bottle of spicy sauce.
Excitement flaunted on her face as she opened it up and dipped the potato into it.
Through her expressions, Drake could tell that she loved it. And seeing her smile made his mood better.
From the moment he moved into this house, it was the first time that someone lighted every corner. Drake would never forget Mirena's scent, laughter, and sweet voice.
Once it is over, every little thing about her would disappear, and keep those sweet dreams as great remembrance for the rest of his life.
Drake sat next to her, looking straight at the forty-inches television. He took a potato chip and dipped it into the sauce.
He said, "Open your mouth."
Mirena widened her eyes as soon as she realized his sweet action. She had no choice but to obey his words and ate them gracefully.
She smiled back at him, savoring its taste. "Hmm, delicious!"
In return, she did the same thing to him and even gave Drake a quick kiss on his right cheek.
"Which one is better, the potato or the kiss?"
"The second one," Drake replied quickly. He didn't want to tell lies anymore. "I think I need one, more kiss to make it fair and equal."
Mirena stooped and kissed his left cheek as he said. She was about to utter a word when the series she was waiting for finally started airing.
She said, "Shh, here's my favorite series! Watch closely and pay attention to the characters. You'll surely fall in love with them."
At that moment, Drake had no idea about the said series. He had no time for it as he was such a busy person.
And like what she said, he watched it silently with her not until Drake realized the characters' identity. The female protagonist was an heiress and owned a multi-billionaire company. The male protagonist was a mafia king and had the same code name as him— The King Cobra.
His world fell apart and couldn't tell if it was merely a coincidence or part of reality.
