Jane

I wake up at six in the evening with an upset stomach. Thank goodness, it is because I'm hungry. Period cramps that had been killing me since morning was subsided after I took some pills. I slept peacefully after that.

I pull off the comforter and crawl out of bed. Hoping I'd get something to tranquillise the storm in my stomach. Luke never forget to cook something for me before he goes out. No matter how important his work is. He is acquainted with the black hole in my body. Seriously, my stomach wants me to feed it in every two hours.

I'm very excited until opening the refrigerator.

It is empty.

Bloody hell. I'll kill him. He forgot to prepare dinner for me. I'm disappointed. Like very disappointed.

I shut the refrigerator and heave a sigh while staring at ceiling. Now I have to cook dinner tonight. This is a very difficult task but I can do it. If I can make Dorcus believe that tooth fairy looks like Dolores Umbridge from harry potter series then I surely can cook dinner.
I giggle remembering the day when I fooled Dorcus that tooth fairy has a face of Dolores Umbridge. And then poor Dorcus got scared and pledged to give up cupcakes so his tooth wouldn't be weak and he won't have to see the tooth fairy ever in his life.

I open YouTube in my phone and search'How to cook dinner in 15 minutes?'
After 12 minutes the dinner is ready. The only thing that left is soup. With the help of YouTube I somehow prepare Tortilla soup but when I taste it I feel unsatisfied.
There's something missing.
Hmm...I should add more garlic in it. A little bit of salt and red chilli and.....It's ready. Yet, it looks dark in colour. I think some milk would lighten it. They haven't mentioned Milk in recipe but I guess there won't be any problem if I add it. Besides, milk is good for health.

I'm making ready the dining table when the doorbell ring.
"Coming!" I yell, sprinting towards door. As I open the door I'm shocked, "What are you doing here?"

"I couldn't wait for next morning. I've been yearning to see you." Leo smiles. The heart melting one. "Thanks for giving me another chance, Jane."

"I thought we're going to talk about this matter tomorrow." I say, crossing my arms against my chest.

"There's no way I could wait for next day when you're agreed to listen me." His eyes dart down, examining me. When he looks up at me, a playful grin plasters on his gorgeous face. "Cute PJs. But you managed to look sexy in them as well."

I roll my eyes at him and half closed the door, "We'll talk but tomorrow at work."
At the beginning, he was the one who didn't trust me with his secret and now he's willing to share everything with me. But why the hell I'm pushing him away? What is wrong with me?
Off course I'm happy about the idea that he's trying to be open with me. But there's a little part of me that wants me to play hard. To show him and make him feel what I've been through.

His smile subsides and he seems hurt from my rejection. "Jane, please. I'll be dead till next day cursing myself for hurting you."
I'm about to shut the door on his face when he tucks his leg and stops the door from shutting. "I love you, Jane."

I froze. I didn't expect that from him but hearing those three magical words from him doesn't surprise me at all. I'm rather terrified. Being proposed by your hot billionaire boss who happen to be a certified womaniser is definitely a terrible thing, especially when you're on your periods right now. Besides, it's not like you get proposed by a hottest billionaire everyday. This kind of things only happen in romantic novels.

He falls on his knees before me and sighs, "It started with a game. A game of lust. You were a challenge to me. Maybe because you're the only woman who got immunity against me. The more you resisted me, the more my urge to get you in my bed intensified. But as much as I began spend my time with you I didn't realise when this sinful thing turned into something pure.
I love you, Jane. I love you so fucking much. And this feeling will never gonna change." Slowly, I bent down to his level and hold his sincere gaze. "Even if you're cursing me for every little mistakes, I'd still be showering you with so much love. You can even have the Tv remote baby when I'm watching foot—" He trails off as I lock my lips with him.

I kissed him and the world fell away. It was slow and soft, comforting in ways that words would never be. His hand rested below my ear, his thumb caressing my cheek as our breaths mingled. I ran my fingers down his spine, pulling him closer until there was no space left between us and I could feel the beating of his heart against my chest. This kiss was special. Something different. Like a promise.

I pulled away from him but our heads were still touching, "Leo," I whispered. My breathing was rapid because of the kiss. "I love you too. I'm sorry that I didn't trust you.
I'll be a very bad girlfriend, Leo."

He brushed the hair off my face and said softly, "No, baby. You're so perfect in every way. I've never seen so ambitious women like you. It was my fault that I didn't trust you and Erica took advantage of it. I'm sorry, Jane. I'm a bastard. An asshole. A coward—"

"Caveman," I suggested, dickhead, prick—"

He squinted his eyes and let out a rich laugh that made my heart to skip a beat, "I love you." He pecked my lips and pulled away only to murmur another 'I love you' before kissing me hardly. "I love you, il mio amore."

I hesitantly looked up at him. The swirls of emotion I saw there made me gasp. Lust and desire. However, before I could ponder about it further, he yanked me to him and covered my mouth with his in a hungry kiss. As our lips crushed together, I felt like i was walking on air. It was magic, the way his lips connected with mine. His mouth was so warm, the caress of his lips softer than I could have imagined and I opened my mouth with a low moan. His tongue entered me. Exploring every inch of my mouth. Suddenly, I felt his hand at the hem of my trousers. I was alarmed by his action and pulled his hand away. His lips puckered and he seemed disappointed.

"We can't do this." I breathe.
"I'm on my periods."

Leo's eyes went wide and he gave me a curt nod. "Okay, babe." He sniffed and quizzed, "What's that amazing smell?"

"Oh, I made dinner." I got up and he followed my action.

"Wow babe, you can cook." Leo gushed behind me as we sauntered toward the table.
"I'm so lucky to have you."
I'm so happy that everything is fine between us. When he called me and told me that Erica framed him, I trusted him at very moment. And after dinner there will be no secrets between us anymore.
