<b>Chapter </b><b>85 </b>
Addison
Marco came to pick me up this evening, cause we rescheduled our date fromst night to tonight. We should have met up yesterday but I went off to see Zane for that ridiculous interview while I had lied to Marco about something urgent unexpectedlying up which made me cancelst night.
I didn’t let hime up to my apartment this time and just went to meet him in his car instead. He grinned at me before leaning over the gear to kiss me and unconsciously, I waited to feel a shiver from the kiss, but nothing happened.
“Where are we headed today? To the restaurant we didn’t attend yesterday because I was busy with something?” I asked and he hummed while shaking his head.
“Oh, dear gods no. I had a change of mind after you didn’t wait up yesterday. Let’s just have this date at my house.” He exined and I felt my heart dete a little.
“Oh.” I mumbled while he grinned at me for a moment.
“It’s gonna be fun, I’ve wanted to have one of those for ages.”
I nodded stiffly, unsure of if I agreed with him. For some reason, I wasn’t looking forward to being all alone with him in his house cause I could already predict how he’d want tonight to end and I wasn’t sure if I truly wanted that. Sure, I loved him very much, but it was like my body crawled at the thought of letting him touch me. And I was still pissed that he left me to myself thest time I was at his house because he got a call from Aisha.
When we arrived at his apartment, I sank into one of his couches while shrugging off my jacket. I was in a dress underneath it, it was long and fitting but it had no arms and my shoulders werepletely bare. Marco had disappeared into one of the rooms right after we arrived, but now he had reneged with two sses and a bottle of wine. His eyes trailed over my body and I noticed his eyes fill up with lust as he stepped even closer till a small gap remained between us.
“You look beautiful.” He hummed quietly, as eyes training over my body and something warmed in my chest. Was it thepliment? Or because of the way he was looking at me right now? I wasn’t sure, but I wanted more. I want all his undivided attention like this, this was exactly all ive wanted since I could remember.
“Thank you.” I told him just as he dropped the wine and cups on the couch, then he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close so our bodies touched.
“My Addison.” He murmured softly as he kissed my throat and I swallowed emptily as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders to pull him closer. His lips tripled up my throat and ear, mapping up the skin there. My body wasn’t turning up with excitement right now and I haven’t the slightest idea why. This was what I’ve always wanted since our rtionship ended five years ago, so why is it that now that I do have him, it’s seeming like something is missing between us.
“My Marco.” I whispered back just as his lips ghosted over mine. A slow grin spread out across his face as he spoke.
“I love being yours.”
After that, he kissed me deeply and it was… nice? It was just too wet and sticky, making it hard for <b>me </b><b>to </b><b>really </b>feel his tongue friction against mine. I couldn’t believe that now I could differentiate a good kiss <b>from </b><b>a </b>bad <b>kiss </b>because I now have some experience to unconsciouslypare it with unlike in the past. <b>Was </b><b>this </b><b>why </b>1 thought Marco could kiss this whole time? Cause I had nothing topare his kisses with back <b>then</b><b>? </b>
I ended up pulling away first and Marco sighed as he dropped his hand, then he retrieved the wine <b>and </b><b>opted </b>for two sses before handing me a ss.
“Cheers to us.” He gushed and I swallowed emptily as I clinked my ss against his.
<b>“</b>Chees to us.”
After we both downed our wine, he rubbed his hands together before holding a hand out to me.
“Where are we going?<b>” </b>I asked as I epted his hand.
“To the kitchen.” He revealed and I grinned a little.
“You made something?” I asked and he stopped to roll his eyes while scoffing.
“Of course not, I don’t cook, remember?” He asked and I frowned. I had truly forgotten that he didn’t know how.
“So
you ordered food then?” I asked and he shook his head, making my frown deepen.
“I bought ingredients for you to cook for us tonight.” He revealed and my brows furrowed as I regarded him, then Iughed a little.
“What?”
He sighed as he dropped my hand then he fully turned around to face me.
“You’ll cook for us tonight, right?” He pressed. “I already got the required ingredients for the meals you’ll prepare. And don’t try to im you can’t cook, I know you can. That’s why I want you to cook, I wanna test your skills, and see if…”
I ended up cutting him off. “Test my skills?” I asked slowly as my brows furrowed even more.
“I mean, I just wanna see how good you can cook. As my girlfriend, you need to know how to cook well, that’s one of the ways you can keep me happy, so…”
I let out augh of disbelief this time which made him trail off.
“So, this means tonight isn’t a date? It’s just you testing me…?”
He frowned like he hadn’t thought of that yet and I let out anotherugh of disbelief. “Can’t it be both? And it’s not really a test, I’m not gonna grade you or something. I’ll just see if you’re good enough or not, and if you’re not, then you can start taking cooking lessons<b>…</b>”
<b>I </b>cut him off this time. “You’re insane, Marco.”
<b>9:38 </b>Wed<b>, </b><b>Sep </b><b>10 </b>
His eyes widened and his mouth fell open like he couldn’t believe his eyes.
“What?” He echoed, but I was feeling so much anger within me right now.

“<b>I </b>said you’re insane.” I repeated. “You seriously brought me here today so I could prove if I can cook to you<b>?? </b>Seriously? We’ve barely even started this rtionship and you’re already acting this way?”
Marco let out a long sigh as he frowned at me, not looking happy as he spoke. “So? Is that a bad thing? Why are you sounding this way?”
I threw my hands up as I snapped. “Cause today is supposed to be a second freaking date! And not me trying to prove to my boyfriend if I can cook well or not!”
“But I need to know if you properly can or can’t so we can quickly start shaping you into a very good cook. A man’s heart is in his stomach after all. You need fo be able yo cook well to please me.”
I scowled at him this time, hating the wsy this entire conversation was sounding. “Why don’t you learn how to cook yourself? Must I be the one to prepare food for you just because I’m your girlfriend??”
He huffed, scowling a little. “A man? To cook? C’mon Addison, don’t be ridiculous-”
“It’s not ridiculous, Marco. Men can cook the same way women can’t.” I snapped and he began to pace this time.
“So, what you’re trying to say now is that you won’t ever cook for me?” He asked and I huffed out an irritated sigh.
“That’s not what I said. Of course I’ll cook for you. I love cooking for people I love. But on my own ord, and not on a second freaking date.”
He faced me this time. “Aisha cooled on oir first date.”
I felt a scowl settle on my face at the mention of her name. I really do detest her so much.
“So, what? It means I should also do that? We’re two different people Marco, and please don’tpare me to her again cause I don’t like it.” I snapped sharply, then I titnef awsy from him and picked up my jacket from the couch. He was frowning at me when our eyes locked.
“Where are you going?” He asked and I shrugged.
“Home, since tonight is already ckeerly ruined.” I responded but he grabbed my hand and tugged me backward, making his chest press into my back as he wrapped his arms around my middle and buried his face in my throat.
“Stay, don’t go,” he murmured quietly and I felt my heart flutter a little in my chest, but I still swallowed emptily before speaking.
“I won’t cook tonight, Marco,” I breathed out and he relluncstlu nodded.
“I guess i can order for some food then.” He murmured quietly. I knew he wasn’t happy with this turn of event, but at least he gave in to what I wanted and I was pleased right now. I was still feeling appalled by his all
backward mindsets and it still always catch me off guard each time.
“Cool.” I breathed out and he nodded before kissing my throat and pulling away to search for us phone.
“When are you gonna cook for me then?” He asked after cing the order and I squirmed a little while shrugging.
“I’m truly not sure, when I’m in a better mood, I guess? I haven’t been able to cook for myself since I lost my job, so I guess that’s until after I get my life together again.” I responded as we both sat down to wait for the dinner to arrive.
“Have you spoken to anyone about a new job for me? Or have you used the connections you have?” I asked as we both ate the dinner which arrived some time ago. It was an Italian delicacy that melted over our tongues, paired with white wine.
“I kinda forget about that.” He sighed on a softugh and I frowned at him, feeling annoyed that despite all his promises to help me find a job, he wasn’t even making a move for me yet. Thankfully I didn’t have to rely on his connections at the end of the day cause now my mind was already fully made up on epting Zane’s job, I’ll just keep it a secret from him till further notice.
“Is your rent about to expire?” He asked next. “If it does expire, juste live with me. I’ll take care of all your needs, then you’ll see that working when you have me is pointless.” He gushed and I sighed softly, hating that he still wanted me to leave all my desires to be a traditional woman for him despite me telling bim that I wasn’t like that.
“No thanks, I still wanna work, but thanks for offering.” I tell him with a small smile, wondering when this dinner would be over so I could head home. I’ll have to find an excuse to head home, cause no way would I spend tonight here after everything that went down between us today. I was previously prepared to fall into bed with him after the dinner cause I believed that would still end up happening sooner orter, but i guess that would have to wait till another day entirely.
