I groaned as my stomach grumbled, I screwed my eyes open adjusting to the morning rays that are gleaming, my belly again cried with hunger, I huffed and sat up on the bed rubbing my eyes with the back of my hand, I tilted my head, sandy thread of morning light invading inside the room from the windows,

I stretched my arms, I should have eaten something last night now I'm starving, but I will eat breakfast after a shower, I looked down at my stomach, "Till I shower keep starving buddy." I pat my belly I got up from bed and took out a brown calf-length rib-knit full sleeves dress and headed to the bathroom,

I got out of the bathroom ignoring my stomach's begging grumbles, I let my slightly wet hair open which I usually don't like, I stepped out of the room, but before I could go further I glanced at Azriel's room's closed door, will he be sleeping still? Maybe not... I abruptly got the urge to open the door and see, no Addy! Why invade? I sighed defeatedly yet I want to, I carefully open the door ajar and peeked in, the bed was empty so was the whole room,

He left early morning... I wonder what has the mafia king to do in the early morning? Never mind I shook my head, I should just leave if prude Harrington come then I would just embarrass myself, I maundered downstairs, a delicious aroma hit my nostrils my stomach growled like filled with starving animals,

The aroma of tasty food... That means Maria is cooking! A bright smile could be seen on my lips, I happily run down and entered the kitchen my smile turned into a frown, it wasn't Maria but the man whom I decided to ignore for my benefit, Azriel was standing behind the counter flat fit all-black single-breasted suit along with skinny pants, cooking gracefully without turning the kitchen into a mess as any other men do,

He didn't get notice of me standing at the entrance of the kitchen,

Damp strands of dusky clouds fell over his forehead tickling his lashes, I got the sudden notion of swapping the strands away but that I can't do or I shouldn't even think of doing something like that, he threw the kitchen cloth aside and rested both of his hands on either side of the counter shutting his lashes he hosted his head up veins of his neck rose making him look like a model posing deliberately for a magazine shoot.

Jesus Christ, I'm supposed to ignore him and here yet again praising him from afar... But how am I supposed to avoid him around when he is standing right in front of me, I should just go back and wait for him to leave... A part of me wants to ask him why did he kiss me, is it because he thinks of me as a desperate woman craving attention? "Quit basking the view DeRose." The husky calm voice snapped me out of my thoughts, I blinked a few times at him my eyes got widened,

"Holy crackers! He again caught me staring at him"

His eyes were shut, now when he has already caught me should I eat then go into ignore him mission or eat later? 'You had me worried' his words chimed in my head, I should eat later I turned to go back, "Stop there DeRose." I did stop,
