Meet The Mafia Queen

xlv. his name

Vanessa's POV

"W-WHAT?"

"You . . ." he sighed "You heard me right, it hurts whenever I see you talking to him or to other men."

I don't know what to say "Is this . . .?"

"—a prank?"

His brows furrowed "You think this is a joke or a prank?"

I shrugged my shoulders "I don't know! That's why I'm asking you because if it's a joke I will laugh to support you."

With that, he stood up and messed his hair "H-hey!"

I was just telling the truth! What's wrong with that? "You're hungry, right?" He glanced at me again

He's smiling right now and it's kinda' creepy. "Did you just change your mood?"

"You're really hungry," wait, did he ignore me again?!

"He—"

Before I could finish my words he open something from the side table. A Tupperware with a tumbler.

"What's that?" Again, he didn't answer me 'til he sat beside me "Is that—"

"A Thai cuisine." He cut me off, instead of getting mad I pout my lips "Hm? What's wrong?"

He softly asked "Nothing, I'm just hungry." Why am I acting like this? Like—I'm a baby?

"This is Tom Yum Goong, are you familiar to this dish?" I shooked my head

"It's a Spicy Shrimp Soup. You love spicy foods, right?" I nodded

"But how did you know?" I couldn't help not to ask

'Well, I'm just curious.'

He looked away "I just k-know." He scooped a soup and check if it's hot "Be careful, it's kinda' hot that will make it even more spicy."

I taste the soup and it feels like heaven! "Where did you bought this?" I swallowed a shrimp "This tastes good!" I complimented

He chuckled "It was made by me."

Oh.

"B-by you?" I asked. Wow, just like wow. I'm speechless, he really made this?

For me?

"Hmm." He nodded "You should eat more," with that he made me eat again making my cheeks chubby

"YOU SHOULD sleep now." He told me but I shooked my head. We've been talking for almost three hours but I am not yet sleepy. I don't know why but I feel comfortable when I'm talking to him

"I don't want," I hugged myself "I'm not yet sleepy."

"Then force yourself to sleep."

'Why? Are you in hurry?'

"Why? Is there something you n-need to do?" I asked while looking at him

"I have nothing to do but to love you."

All of a sudden, I feel fluttered "Why . . .?"

"—why are you doing this to me?"

Hoodie guy chuckled "Doing what?" He caress my hair

"T-this?" I'm nervous, damn nervous. His touch is making me nervous!

'Why am I letting him do this, anyway?'

"Because," he wrapped his arm on my hip that made me almost jumped on the bed "I want to."

'Damn, why do you keep flattering me?'

"You should sleep now," with that I yawned and slowly closed my eyes.

With his touch, he made me drift to sleep. But I tried to fight it "W-what's . . .?"

I'm sleepy already "—your name?"

His face is kinda' blurry "You want to know what my name is?" I nodded as I closed my eyes

'Please tell me,'

"You can call me," even my eyes are already close, I felt that he leaned closer to my ear and say

"—baby."
