~~ 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 and took my side beside him on the bed.
I placed the bottle of water I was holding on the table and turn to find Zamiel sleeping peacefully with a care in the world when suddenly an idea popped up in my head.
Since he thinks I'm crazy, why not act crazy?
I straddled him and scattered my hair with my nails making sure I have that perfect crazy look.
Bring my face closer to his wanting to place a kiss on his face when suddenly I was cut off guard, he grabbed me by my neck choking the life out of me as if I was attacking him or something.
I never expected him to be so vigilant but 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 hitting his hand with force and thankfully he did 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 ?" Was all he said sizing me with his eyes
" What?..... you almost killed me and you can't even say sorry" I threw a pillow at him and retroted
" What were you doing back there? With your hair all over my face while you kept breathing against my skin? "He raised an eyebrow
" Claiming my rights as a wife " I pouted and sat up to arrange my hair
" Claiming which rights? " He asked lazily and laird back down
" You heard right ... and if you have a problem with it you can go sleep on the couch or in your study room " I rolled my eyes
" Are you kicking me out of my room? "
" shh .... you're mistaken it's our room hubby and I'm 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 not wanting to upset him
" I'll go crazy if I see you in my dream " he murmured and laid back and I couldn't help but chuckle
*. *. *
I woke up to find Zamiel still asleep for a change.
Today is the first day of my one-month challenge and I wasn't going to back out that I can swear on
I smiled seeing the beauty lying beside me in the form of a man. If he wasn't so wicked then maybe I would have called him a demigod.
He had a strong jawline to his high cheekbones, which I was so tempted to trace with my finger.
After all he's my husband so I had this much right over him.
I traced his hollow cheeks to his strong brow ridge, and finally stopped at his lips
When suddenly his eyes slowly opened revealing his dark blue eye
" Good morning hubby," I said with a smile, hoping to spread some positivity but…
" What a way to start the day " he scoffed sitting up
He just had to find a way to ruin my mood like always but nevermind, I'm not going to let it affect me.
" Why do you have to start the day with such negative words ? " I questioned as I also sat up straight
" What's wrong with what I said?, is there anything good about the morning?...No "he stood up and left for the bathroom.
I sighed knowing very well there was no room for giving up so I have to bear with his sudden change of mood from time to time .
He came out of the bathroom in no time 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 for me was cooking which I was really bad at but Mum never allowed me go near the kitchen
As if I was going to burn myself or lit up the kitchen
I thought and couldn't help but roll my eyes
But no worries, I do know a very good chef, My Dad.
Although mum is terrible when it comes to cooking, dad is the complete opposite.
He would always cook for us when he makes a successful business deal or when he's trying to appease mum.
And remembering how those love birds behave makes me want to laugh my guts out .
They never want to admit that they are getting old.
Which is pretty evident
I dialed dad's number and he picked it up after the fourth ring
Seems he was busy.
" Hey dad," I said with a smile
" My little princess remembered me today huh? I thought 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 and only had time for you wife" I teased back pouting
" I did miss my darling little princess.. even your Mum and grandma miss you "
" I also miss them too "
" So why did you call ?
I know you didn't call just because you missed me " Dad would always remain the best as he knows me so well
" Actually... ahem Dad I want to prepare a dish for Zamiel and ... "
he started laughing cutting me off even before I could gather my words
" You don't know how to cook right ?"
" Yeah "I admitted biting the skin in my lip
" Okay I'll help you, let's make a video call when you're ready.. "
" Well, I 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 to get things in order
" Hey aunt " I waved at the mid age lady know as the chef
" What are you doing here madam ? " she had the expression that said you're going to get me in trouble but I just laughed seeing her face
" I want to make lunch for my husband" I said taking a look at the vegetables on the counter
" .... "
When I got no response from her I continued
" Don't worry I'll take care of everything okay..now enjoy your day off " I said and led her out of the kitchen and closing the door behind her so I wouldn't get disturbed
I quickly sent a face reveal request to Dad which he accepted before the second ring.
He instructed me on what to do and what not to do
The ingredients to add and the ones that were irrelevant and to be sincere cooking is surely difficult.
The onions made me cry and I couldn't stop sneezing.
Well I'm never stepping my feet into this kitchen after now that I can promise.
I quickly dressed up and arrived at the reception of Dean's cooperations just to receive a warm welcoming from the receptionist.
She led me towards his office and made sure I was comfortable, which was nice.
" 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 ' I thought to my self
There was a room at the corner of the room and it's door was beautifully carved which a completely different design and a fingerprint lock attached to it
The door suddenly opened revealing Zamiel, Asher and Xavier
Zamiel had his cold look like usual, Asher had a serious face and Xavier looked exhausted like fucn
" Hello " I said with a smile to the three of them but only Xavier smiled back
" What are you doing here?" Xavier asked walking closer to me
" I brought lunch "
" Ohh .... nice work " he whispered and winked before flashing me one of those killer smilies
" 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 up
" Just shut up and come with me…we wouldn't want someone saying I got his wife attention " He glanced at Zamiel but pulling Asher out of the room giving me and Zamiel a little privacy.
" 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 smiled and pulled him towards his chair
" You should take a break unless you'll fall sick "I quickly 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 pouted showing him the bandages on my fingers
And I couldn't help but pray that he should become speechless after having my food.
I took a spoon full of brown rice onion pilaf and brought it close to his mouth
" Now open up " I said with a smile while he eyed me like always
" Hope it's not poisoned? " He finally spoke up
" Nope, I didn't poison you ... now open up " I urged and he complied.
I crossed my fingers and toes hoping it was good when suddenly…
" What the fuck I thought you said it was poison free ?" he screamed wiping his mouth with a tissue
" W..what's wrong? " I said standing to my feet
" Did you even taste this? even a dog wouldn't eat this "
" I'm... I'mm 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 I'm sorry " I apologized feeling bad
I should have listened when dad asked me to taste it..but I guess it's already too late
" Now I see why your mum never allowed you into the kitchen, it's because you can never get anything right " He scoffed
Wait what is he insulting me ?
I get it if he doesn't like the food but he shouldn't hurt my feelings, it was my first time after all
" I said am sorry "I repeated
" 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 "
He kept saying and I could feel my eyes turning teary
Although Mum was the one who would scold me when I come up with mischief, she never downgraded me just like he was doing right now
I could feel tears beginning to fall on my cheeks but I wiped them off immediately not wanting him to see my tears
" I'm.... I'm 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 just like a waterfall
