Chapter 40 - 40. Cooking For You

"I'm sorry that yelled at you." Not long after, Elena's crying stopped, only her breath was still gasping from crying. "Why did you run?"

Elena slowly let go of the hug, awkwardly standing up with her head lowered. She is shy. Shame because so easily cry over trivial things.

"You suddenly appeared and startled me. I thought it was a ghost. That's why I ran."

Brian smiled and kept staring at Elana who didn't want to look at him. 

Brian's hands were stretched out and his fingers tilted Elena's chin to face her. His eyes locked on to Elena's beautiful eyes. Brian's two fingers rubbed Elena's cheek. Erase the trail of tears there.

"Don't ever run again. You're pregnant. I don't want anything bad to happen to you and baby." Brian's soft and low voice seemed to hypnotize Elena. The woman nodded and smiled.

"I promise."

"Then why did you wake up?"

Elena's face flushed, "I'm hungry."

Brian smiled at Elena's flushed face and looked cute. "I thought you'd sleep on an empty stomach until morning."

Elena just didn't answer.

"Come on, I'll accompany you to eat." Brian unconsciously grabbed Elena's hand and led her into the kitchen.

Now Elena is sitting at the dining table near the kitchen. When Brian opened the serving hood intending to heat the food. Elena held Brian's arm. She was nauseous and didn't want to eat the food.

"Nausea?" asked Brian. Elena nods. Brian pulled the serving hood back together.

"So what do you want to eat?" Brian was standing on the other side of the table right in front of Elena. Gaze at the woman intently. The light from the kitchen lights allowed Brian to see what Elena looked like right now.

Elena is wearing pink pajamas and the woman doesn't seem to notice that the neckline of her shirt is so down, plus one button on the top is open, allowing Brian to see Elena's cleavage from his current position. As if that wasn't enough. Elena's face looked at him sadly with her long messy hair. Adds a sexy impression.

Brian stared straight at Elena, like a cat staring at a fresh fish so mouthwatering that it would trickle out.

"Brian," Elena's call snapped his back. Brian's body creaked and looked away from Elena.

"So what do you want to eat?" Brian asked again.

"I want ... Fried rice, but." Elena stared at Brian in silence, hesitant to tell Brian.

Brian waited in silence and moved his head, asking Elena to continue her sentence.

"But you cooked it," said Elena slowly and fearfully. She looked at Brian expectantly with her eyes begging. Making Brian powerless with that innocent look. He wanted so badly to climb this table and pounce on Elena right now. Jeez! Brian was frustrated and could only squeeze the edge of the table.

"Fine. I'll cook but ... Tidying up your appearance first." Without waiting for Elena's answer, Brian immediately turned around and prepared the ingredients that he would use to make fried rice.

Elena still frowned. Confused by what Brian said. Tidying up her appearance? Elena felt there was nothing wrong with her appearance. She used the persecution ... Elena looked down and she just realized. Her face flushed, Brian must have seen her upper chest sticking out. Her face flushed red and quickly buttoned her clothes. Brian must have thought she was flirting with the man.

Embarrassing. Elena cursed her stupidity.

Elena turned to Brian who was now busy cooking. The man moved steadfastly as if he had often come into the kitchen to cook. Elena smiles.

Looking at Brian's back, who was cooking, reminded her of a man who often cooks for her. Asked Elena to sit quietly and let the man cook special food for her. Making Elena feel so flattered. A simple thing that is very romantic for her. Elena missed the man. Missed Diego until she imagined that the one standing not far from her was that man. The wide back that always pulls Elena to lean on it.

Without realizing it, Elena was already standing and walking slowly toward Brian. And hugged the man from behind. Elena's eyes were tightly closed. In her mind the man who was being hugged was Diego. The man she loves and cares for.

Unlike Elena. Brian's body froze, he couldn't move because he was shocked. Her hands hang in the air. Luckily he hasn't turned on the stove. His heart was beating fast. He never thought Elena would hug him like this. Even when they were a week in contact, Elena never took the first step. It's always Brian who started it all.

Brian just kept quiet. He was very surprised. And don't know what to do. But there is something strange about him. His heart was beating fast and a sense of joy enveloped his heart. As if he was expecting this.

Elena tightened her hug. Her lips muttered the call of Darling. So small that Brian didn't hear it.

Confused by the strange taste that enveloped Brian's heart. And felt awkward with Elena who still hugged him tightly. Brian called her, "Elena."

As if there was a bullet that was rushing so fast towards Elena's head. The woman immediately realized that the man she was hugging was not Diego, it was Brian! With the speed of light, Elena let go of her embrace. And moved quickly to the chair where she sat earlier.

It took a few seconds for Brian to turn around and look closely at Elena. Examining Elena's face. The woman moved restlessly and uncomfortably in her seat. She just looked down and didn't dare to look at Brian.

"Elena, you ...." Brian stopped, he was confused on how to ask Elena's strange action earlier.

Elena squeezed the hem of her shirt and looked up at Brian.

"Brian, that was ..." Elena's words stopped when a strange voice interrupted. A strange sound coming from her stomach. Maybe the baby is very hungry right now.

Brian chuckled, "Looks like your stomach needs to be filled as soon as possible."

The man turned around and continued his cooking action.
