191 I Like You

Meanwhile, Rita and Dean were having fun while preparing the breakfast for the family.

Dean was constantly teaching and helping Rita with the cooking whenever he got time.

Last time, during their 'fixed dinner date' Dean told her about what he really felt for her. He did not receive a response from her in words but he could feel that Rita was now opening to him bit by bit.

She was more approachable now unlike before when she would always crumple her face on his advances or slam him with the word 'NO'.

Now, she had started to answer him with her blushed cheeks and silence but that silence meant 'YES'.

He stared at Rita while she was mixing the ingredients and he was enchanted by her innocent looks.

He moved closer and stole another kiss from her. The latter blushed hard. Her cheeks were burning hot by the touch of his lips. She felt love and care in his presence and whenever he touched her or kissed her she just couldn't help but blush hard due to his seduction techniques working at active mode on her.

This was the fifth time he had kissed her since they came in the kitchen today. All stolen kisses while they were cooking and Rita had not reacted in annoyance even once nor did she try to stop him at all.

Instead, she kept on blushing hard on all his advances which was rather inviting him for more.

He could kiss her a million times like this and would never feel tired, but he still wanted to hear it out loud from her about how she felt for him now.

However, Rita also sensed his questioning gazes, but decided to remain silent as she herself needed some more time to decide on her own feelings.

But Dean still couldn't help his impatient heart and reached close to her, held her by her waist from behind and whisper softly in her ear and ask, "Do you still dislike me like you did when we got married or have you started to like me now?"

Rita suddenly got nervous.

His closeness was filling all her senses with his scent and she started to lose her mind with his arms on her waist.

She didn't know how to answer him because deep in her heart she could sense the feelings starting to grow for him, she knew that she had started to fall for Dean, but she was afraid in thinking more about it and confirming for herself.

She could not find the courage to admit it to herself, how more she could confess to him then.

She felt Dean's shoulders dropped and his arms left her waist when he heard no answer from her.

"I will just get something from inside the room," Dean said in a very low, heavy and sad tone.

He turned around and was ready to walk out of the kitchen when he felt Rita grab the bottom layer of his shirt from back.

Dean's lips curved upward and he knew his pitiful face and voice has done enough magic needed for her to open up her heart for him… but he did not turn back to face her and waited for Rita take action.

"Turn around and look at me," Rita murmured.

Dean quickly turned around with his pitiful face as his eyes were looking down.

The he felt Rita's warm hands on his cheeks as she lifted his face so he could see her right in the eyes.

"Dean, it had been difficult for me to get in relationship with you and leave everything that I was behind. In the starting, I had decided to give my fullest to our relationship, try my best for it to work. But I guess I underestimated myself and I never thought that my heart was actually turning to steel by each passing day because of the life I lived. When we started living together I realized you wanted to come close to me but I could never accept your advances due to my prejudices from my earlier life."

Dean started to feel anxious by her reply and was wondering if she will ever confess her feelings to him or not…

Rita sighed and continued, "You kept reaching out to me and I kept rejecting you, you kept trying to melt my heart and I kept denying that I could ever feel anything again and fall for anyone in my life. I don't know when and how it happened, which particular action of yours made it happen but though I'm not sure if I love you already, but I can confidently admit to you that I like you…" Rita said timidly.

Dean felt so relieved when he heard her last line and he smiled and suddenly bent down and took her lips between his own and deeply kissed her, sucking on her lips hungrily.

Elder Master Ken was taking a stroll around the house when he saw Butler Omni and the head cook peeking inside the kitchen happily and watching something from the creek of the kitchen's window. So he walked towards them and took a look inside and creased his forehead.

"Is it fun watching two love birds kissing while they cook?" Elder Master Ken whispered in between the two.

"Shoo and get lost from here, else you might disturb them while they are having their time… You gossip mongers…" Elder Master Ken hissed and the two scratched their heads and left from there.

After a minute, Butler Omni returned and whispered, "Master is it fun watching two love birds having fun in the kitchen? Just stop watching them…"

Elder Master Ken arched an eyebrow and said, "I'm not watching them but simply giving my blessings from a distance so I could be great grandpa soon!"
