Ch: 29 [Feelings]

Initially, Natasha appeared happy when she cut the steak and saw the tender pink in the middle; however, after serving the lemon pie, her expression revealed her real happiness. After I botched up the plating, I was concerned about the pie. However, I had no idea she loved lemon pie.

"This is incredible. Why were you hiding your talent?" Natasha says with a mouthful of lemon pie, with her eyes fixed on her plate. She looks genuinely happy.

"I forgive you for burning the shrimp," Jenny said after gulping down the Coke.

"You little brat. They were just a little overcooked, not burnt," I protest. Well, Jenny is right. Some were burnt... Maybe a little charred. But give me a break. I did my best without the System's help. And I did pull the other two dishes off. Looks like I have to punish her.

Huh?! Tears in mom's eyes. What happened now? Why is she crying?

"I did not know you could cook. After all these years... alone... You have taught yourself how to cook. I'm so proud of you. Oh! My son has grown up so fast. Your future wife would be so lucky..." Mom said while wiping the corner of her eyes.

"Yeah. Your mom is so right. You are good... You even managed to hide it from me. Someone is going to get lucky in the future," Natasha said after finishing her pie. There is not a single crumb or cream on her place. It's as if she has licked the plate clean.

"Huh? What are you talking about? This is my first time cooking some real food other than instant noodles and boiled eggs," I said.

Hey, who knew I could cook? If I knew... I wouldn't have lived on instant noodles. Now that I think of it, well... Truth be told, I never tried to cook proper food before. I am so satisfied since everything ended well.

Mom helped me clean the table. We washed the dishes while Jenny kept Natasha company.

...

Time flies so fast... It's already 11:30 PM. We never realized it was late. Natasha stood up. I can tell she wants to leave. But before she could say anything...

"Why don't you stay the night?" I said.

"Are you sure? I don't want to intrude..." replied Natasha.

"Stay. I insist," I said with a soft smile. And before I knew I was holding her hand. What the?! I don't remember holding her hand. Huh? Jenny's eyes... Her eyes are glowing.

Don't tell me she is telepathy like Emma Frost and Professor X...

Natasha agreed to stay the night after mom and Jenny joined me, telling her to stay.

Since there were only three bedrooms and all of them were occupied, Natasha will be staying in my room. I cleaned my room and tugged my special research materials under the bed into my custom-made secret space. Hopefully, Natasha won't look under the bed.

Natasha couldn't stop herself from smiling. She can't remember the last time she had a fun-filled day with a boy. It's like never. She had been so focused on her jobs that she never noticed how tired and exhausted she actually was...

After retiring and leaving her past behind, Natasha felt free like a bird for the first time. But she was a bit afraid of that freedom it's scary for her...

Natasha closed her eyes, "Huh?!" She was surprised.

Even though she took her revenge, the red room never disappeared from her mind. It continued to torment her whenever she tried to sleep, but tonight it was different... She can't see that cursed room anymore...

'It's no more red,' Natasha clenched her pillow tightly as drops of tears fell from the corner of her eyes, 'Is it because of him? Alex... Thank you for this great day. I am really grateful.'

Natasha grabbed her chest. Her heart was beating faster. It's just like when she was enjoying Alex's touch on her bare skin... Flashes of Alex's face dawned before her eyes. She could vividly remember the feeling she felt when Alex's tongue was dancing on her nipples... She grabbed her left boob... She could still hear the sound Alex made when he was licking her pussy... Her other hand was touching her pussy...

'I don't know why? But every time I see him, something happens to me. My heart beats faster. I feel... I... I... It's... I can't control myself. What's this feeling?' Natasha thought while remembering the pleasure she felt in the morning with Alex.

Natasha turned on her stomach and started sniffing the pillows and the bed sheet, 'His smell. Oh, God! A man's smell... What's wrong with me?' She buried her face in the pillow.

A light noise outside the door took her attention away... She could see a dim light in the hallway through the gaps under the door.

"Fuck! It hurts so much..."

'Alex?!' Natasha got up from the bed after hearing Alex's voice, 'He is hurt! Don't tell me!'

Natasha went to the door without making a sound. She waited for a few seconds until she heard the light sound of a closing door. Then she opened the door and went out without making a noise. She noticed that the bathroom's light was on, and the door was slightly open.

Natasha swiftly walked to the bathroom door. She slightly opened the door and peeked inside...

'Alex! His hands... How could I not see this before? He was telling the truth. This was his first time cooking... He did it because of me?! And he is glad? Why go this far, Alex?' Natasha wondered while listening to Alex's mumbling.
