Chapter 31: I know I’m hot, Amelie
The next morning, Amelie prepared two coffee mugs, one for herself and the other for Gabriel. Through Albus, she had found out the prince loved drinking coffee in the morning after having a bath.
She knocked on the door while holding the tray in one hand.
"Come in," Gabriel’s voice reached her ears, and she pushed the door open before walking inside.
Amelie pushed the door open and stepped inside. "Good morning, Gabriel. I brought coffee for—" She froze mid-sentence, her words catching in her throat as her gaze locked onto him.
Gabriel stood before her, clad in nothing but a loosely wrapped towel hanging low on his hips. Droplets of water trailed down his chiseled torso, highlighting the defined V-line that disappeared beneath the fabric.
Amelie swallowed hard, her throat suddenly dry. She was rooted to the spot, unable to tear her eyes away. Her stare was so intense that she didn’t realize how obvious it was until Gabriel stepped closer.
Lowering his head to meet her gaze, he smirked. "I know I’m hot, Amelie, but if you keep looking at me like that, I might just start blushing."
Grabbing the coffee mug, he noticed the second one, realizing Amelie wanted to have coffee with him.
However, she turned around, ready to leave the room.
"Weren’t you here for coffee with me?" Gabriel questioned. "Come, have a seat. There’s no need to shy away. I suppose you will keep seeing me in this avatar a lot of times," he asserted, noticing the shift in her expression.
Amelie looked at him before walking toward the couch in the seating area and placing the tray on the glass table. Gabriel walked there and rested the mug down.
