Chapter 134: A Change
Nora looked gently at the man working in the kitchen as he continued to whip up something that smelt delicious. There was something different about Demetri Frost that she could not pin on. And she had no idea what it was. Maybe it was because he had been taking care of her since she was injured or it was the way he seemed almost... relaxed these days... something that she had never seen in the past.
Even though this change wasn’t much or anything that made her wary, it continued to bother her in a way that she could not explain. It was like a mystery... A dark mystery that needed to be solved.
Another thing that was getting to her was that the man somehow seemed to be getting more handsome by the day. Obviously, Demetri Frost had already been drop-dead gorgeous, the dark and dangerous type but somehow, he seemed to have picked up the boy next door personality as well. It was disconcerting to say the least.
He’d been working from home these few weeks and she could see that mean personality still there when he would almost scare the people on the video conference and then there was this one, the laid-back rolled-up sleeves cooking thing. It reminded her of the mangas she had read. The main heroes were Tsundere or Oranyan.
They came across as chilly or harsh at first but were totally marshmallows later. That giave an image of a Demetri looking like a giant marshmallow and she almost giggled. Using both her hands she instead covered her lips. The snort that escaped her however caught the man’s attention and he raised an eyebrow," What is so funny?"
Nora shook her head. There was no way she was going to tell him that she was imagining him as a giant marshmallow. But she needed to say something as he continued to look at her patiently so naturally she blurted out the next (totally inappropriate) thing that came to her brain," I am wondering how you would look like cooking wearing only an apron."
Demetri paused in the action of cutting and gave her a look that almost scorched her and she realized what she had blurted out. " I did not mean it like that! I..."
"Then what did you mean it like, hmm?"
Putting down the knife, Demetri slowly came around the island as Nora tried to think of something to cover her gaffe. What was this? It would have been better to say he looked like a marshmallow! Stupid brain! And her stupid mouth.
