Chapter 152 The Goddess Known As Amy

Zach came back in shortly with a duffel bag. Amy sat up as she watched him walk in.

"What was the noise?" Her face was still flushed from what happened just now.

"Raphy accidentally dropped this. He apologizes for interrupting what we were doing just now not that he's implying anything", Zach said.

Amy chuckled. She could imagine the young man stumble upon his words. Then she realized something.

"Your men..."

"Don't worry, they'll sort themselves out", he assured her as he put down the bag on her stool.

"I'll go shower", he said.

"Okay, I'll go in after you."

"Alright."

"I'll go cook something", she tried to get out of bed.

"Stay, I'll whip up something for us", he said.

He went over to peck her lips before finding his way to the bathroom. It was now she noticed how disheveled she had left his hair. Embarrassment gripped Amy's features.

Twenty minutes later, they had both showered and changed into fresh new clothes. They were currently in the kitchen, she sat on a stool while he stood behind the counter. He had on a serious expression as he stared at the bell peppers and rest of the veggies. Amy looked at the greens before looking up at him.

"When you said you'll whip up something for us... "

"I meant I'm a quick learner so you can dictate the instructions and I'll follow", he let out a breath before looking at her with determination in his eyes.

She sighed helplessly, "I can do it myself."

"And who will allow that?" He arched a sexy brow at her.

His tone was authoritative but it was such a sexy move on him. Amy kicked away the thought and got her mind out of the gutter. But she thought about it, Zach is smart so learning and mastering something should come as second nature to him.

"Fine. Let's start with prepping the ingredients. What are you making by the way?"

"Uh..... I just picked out whatever I could find in the fridge", he gave her a sheepish smile.

She sighed and shook her head. "Let's make a pasta dish and salad. So we need to get rid of some things...."

She scanned the table and pointed at the ingredients he needed to put back. He worked at a fast pace and like a teacher, she dictate the instructions. Where she needed to, she would demonstrate from where she was seated and he would follow. They conversed in between cooking lessons.

When he was done, he served the pasta on a plate garnished it with spices and cheese. It was such an appetizing sight. They both could not wait to dig in. Amy was amazed, he really is a genius. Not just did he learn but the plating was amazing too. He wiped away residue with a paper wipe before serving the plate to her.

He looked at her in anticipation. For the first time in his life Zach, the Chairman of Frost Corporation, had just cooked his first meal. Amy smiled at his nervous stature before she picked up her fork. She twirled it with the pasta and had put it in her mouth.

Zach nervously watched her expression as she chewed. He took a napkin to wipe away the sauce from her mouth. Amy's face was impassive but it soon turned ugly as she averted his gaze. Zach caught all that.

"Don't tell me.. ", he voiced his fear.

She swallowed it down looking like a stone had been forced down her throat before cleansing her palette with juice. Then she looked at him, "Do you want the truth or nothing at all?"

"One sec", he said before moving to her side. He took her fork and used it to fork a bite. He only chewed twice before he took a napkin and spat it out in clear horror. "How could you even swallow that?"

"Lucky I don't have a gag reflex", she let out a sigh of relief.

Silence. The weight of Amy's words sunk in. A certain image flushed in Zach's mind and his gaze darkened. Seeing her cheeks flush red, he knew she understood the meaning behind her 'innocent' sentence. Remembering the doctor's orders, Amy cleared her throat.

"We can have some snacks for now. I have some in the pantry.... How about we order in for dinner?" She quickly suggested.

"Alright", he said as he picked up his phone.

The atmosphere was still heavy but they chose to ignore it. He dialed a number and the person picked up on the first ring.

"Edmund, prepare a bag for me. I won't be home for a while..... Months. Have it ready, the boys will pick it up in an hour or two."

He ended the call and dialed another number. The also answered on the first ring. "Skull, Edmund prepared a bag for me, I need it..... And pick up dinner on the way back... One sec."

He gave the phone to Amy so she could tell him what she wanted to eat. With that settled, they went back to the room to sort out Zach's clothes. Amy settled under the sheets and watched him hang his clothes in her wardrobe. As he did so, something caught his eye.

With surprise, he took it out and showed her. "You kept it?"

Amy's face heated up when she saw the shirt. It was the one she took after their encounter back in the city.

"Well, I had no reason to throw it away", she shrugged with a shy smile playing on her face.

He felt his heart run a marathon at this discovery. It seemed he had been on her mind but he was not sure if it was as much as he had her. Still, he felt giddy inside. As he looked at her, he noticed the fatigue on her. He quickly finished putting away the clothes and walked over to bed.

He took the snacks from her and put them back in the pantry. He came back and pulled her into his arms. She nuzzled into his chest and got comfortable before closing her eyes. There was no need for verbal communication. They understood each other so easily. Soon, he felt her breath even out. He too succumbed to sleep, he hardly had a wink of it whilst at the hospital.

About three hours later, Zach was startled awake by a knock. Amy followed suit as the knock resounded again. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and Zach grew annoyed by the person knocking. They had just disturbed her sleep.

"Are you expecting someone?" She asked in her sleepy voice.

"Could be the boys", he said as he looked at the time on his wrist watch. "I'll go check", he said as he kissed her forehead.

Amy relaxed back into bed as he left her side. She closed her eyes, though sleepy her senses were still alert. She heard the front door open before an excited voice shouted.

"I hear you ordered for dinner and your clothes!"

Bam!

The door was slammed shut immediately. Amy sat up in alarm. Out of curiosity, she walked out of bed and joined him the living room. His face had darkened in annoyance.

"Who is it?" She asked him.

"It's no one. You should go back to bed", he said as he walked over to her.

"Just so you know, I didn't come down all the way here to see your face. It's sister-in-law I came to see! Sister-in-law!" He resumed knocking.

She left his side and went to get the door. Standing before her were two men, one with black hair and square framed glasses on, his lean body was covered in blue jeans and a baby blue hoodie with matching sneakers, while the other had blond hair, brown eyes, quite muscular and had a striking resemblance to the man inside her house. He was wearing a baby pink shirt, hot pink leather jacket, white jeans and sneakers.

"Whoa! Dude am I the only one seeing this goddess before us?" he whispered to his friend as he stared at Amy in wonderment.

Amy's brows went up as she stared at the two awestruck men.
