No Strings Attached

Chapter 8

"Don't worry, Zee, it's normal."

Zee stood closer to him and Zee's body radiated heat like a burning furnace. He automatically step away and focus his attention in making the baby fall asleep again.

After a few minutes, he succeeded in making the baby drift off.

He glance at Zee. Nunew was sure he looks funny with a shower cap, his shorts and baggy tee while singing a lullaby to Haru.

It was a complete opposite with Zee. There was nothing laughable about Zee Pruk, after all. Even disheveled from sleep, he was imposing and breath taking. Everything about him exuded power and animal magnetism-from his powerful frame to his chiseled features to his dark haunting almond shape eyes.

It took two thirds of Nunew's willpower not to throw himself at Zee's feet and slobber all over him like a goddamned dog.

He tried not to look at Zee again.

"You might want to take a bath or something if you're planning on staying." When those words starts to get out of his mouth, he immediately regret it. Why would he stay? Zee probably had better things to do and he was probably itching to leave~~~~~

"I'll shower in your bathroom."

Zee leave the guestroom and Nunew let out a sigh. He focus his attention back on Haru.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Are you sure you know how to do this?" Zee looks so worried. "Maybe it'll be better if we'll wait for her grandparents and~~~"

"Oh, hush!" Nunew cut Zee's blabbering. "His grandparents will be here in the afternoon. It's better if Haru will take her bath in the morning. I've bathed one week old babies, Zee. Get out of here. Shoo!"

He gently put Haru on the bathtub with warm water while holding her back. The baby giggled and splashed the water using her small feet.

"Haru baby, it's nice to take a bath right baby? Right?"

The baby giggled even more. He quickly finished cleaning her.

"Are you sure you can feed her that?" Zee's brows furrowed as he questioned Nunew for the umpteenth times about the baby.

He gave Zee a deadly glare but Zee is staring back at him with a cold expression too.

The cold Roman god is standing next to him on the carpeted floor with his arms folded below his chest. He was wearing a black singlet and a track pants.

The bastard apparently brought with him a duffel bag, a sign that he plans on spending the night at Nunew's apartment.

"Have a you taken care of a child before, Zee?"

His thick brows furrowed again. "No. I'm an only child and I'm not close to my cousins." "Exactly."

Zee huffed like a petulant child. "What's wrong with asking?"

"Nothing, as long as you're not asking about practically everything." He snapped.

"Pap! Pap!" Haru giggles while actively tapping the table wanted the attention back.

"Yes, Haru baby. I hear you. Here you go!" Nunew gently put on her mouth the mash bananas. "Babies can already eat solid food when are already five or six months old. They need nutrition for their growth. Here, Haru!"

The baby happily opened her mouth again. Nunew can't help but kiss her small head and the baby can't help but giggles more. "You smell so good Haru baby." He soundly kiss the baby's ear. The baby's giggles is so infectious. His gaze fell on Zee who was looking at him with a smile on his small handsome face. He knew he looked dreadful. He was still wearing a shower cap with no bb cream on. He hated how unfair the world was sometimes.
