DELILAH

“Shit! Damien never said he has kept an angel in his house.”

I saw the guy grinning, his eyes full of mischief. He walked inside before I could invite him in and I could already say I didn’t even need to do that.

He was a regular here.

He walked inside towards the kitchen before grabbing an apple and moved towards the couch in the living room and settled on them, biting on the apple in hand. Who was he?

I stood there not knowing what to do? He flipped through the magazine kept on the table and seemed concentrated on that.

Suddenly, he lifted his head up and meet my eyes. His lips back on his former smile. A warm and a friendly one. “If you don’t mine me asking, who are you beautiful?”

I gulped down not knowing what to answer him. What should I say? Damien's cook? Or just a person he found on the road and is providing a shelter. And now even a job.

He stood up, and walked to the dustbin in the kitchen, under the sink and threw the remains of the apple. “I don’t think you doesn’t speak.” His lips in a smirk and I realized I have never spoken any word to him.

I cleared my throat, and before I could say anything I saw him walking towards me and took my hand and planted a kiss on the back. My cheeks burned at his gesture and I didn’t know what to do anymore. “By the way I’m Steven.”

“I…”

“She is my new chef.” I heard the deep voice and it didn’t take me a second to know it was of Damien. He walked down the stairs, adjusting his cufflinks, his tattoos on the arms and fingers visible and I couldn’t disagree how attractive they looked.

The Armani suits he wore, does such a justice to his strong physique and the dominating aura. He walked towards the table and I saw Steven following him. “Whoa, bro. What happened to Lily?”

“Aria isn’t well.” He answered back pouring juice in a glass. I saw the entire situation and realised late I have to serve him the breakfast. I saw Damien’s jaws clenching and I felt maybe for the breakfast. He isn’t satisfied with that.

Good God, how much dumb could I be!

I brought him the sandwiches, feeling guilty at the uninteresting breakfast I prepared. The nightmare just deteriorated my entire state.

I even served some for Steven as he took a seat not before passing me a smile, and I found my lips lifting up. “Why don’t you even join us?” I nodded at him taking a seat.

“She would have taken without you even saying.” What’s with this mood with him today. I served myself confused. He was good till yesterday, but happened all of a sudden.

I saw the Steven guy passing him a smirk before indulging in his food. “Damn! This food is delicious.” Steven said munching on his food, almost rolling his eyes back.

It was that good!

My eyebrows raised up in surprise and I looked at Damien waiting for him to say anything about the food but he remained silent. His eyes concentrated on the sandwich in his plate.

“You didn’t say your name.” I looked up from my plate at Steven.

“It's Delilah.” I spoke and saw his smile widening.

“That’s a beautiful name for a beautiful lady.” I felt heat rising on my cheeks and I dropped my head to hide the redness. He chuckled and I heard the loud of cutlery moving with haste from Damien. He was like stabbing the sandwich.

Good heavens. This man.

“Don’t you have a hospital to manage?” I wondered why was he so rude to him. It looked like they’re good friends. Well from Steven you could say that and Damien tolerating everything.

“I was on my way to there when I thought to drop by, and I’m glad I did.” He turned towards me.”I got to meet the angel.”

Damien groaned at his seat and stood up suddenly, followed by Steven. “I forgot to bring my file.” He dropped the plates in the sink and walked upstairs. And I saw Steven chuckling beside me.

“He needs some peanut butter.” My eyebrows furrowed at that. What’s he even speaking. He turned to face me, and I saw the same friendly smile again. “I'm the best friend.” He laughed lightly. “I thought I should mention that because he will never.” My lips stretched in a smile.

I saw him fisting his hands and giving me a first bump. “We gotta be great friends.” I couldn’t control the real smile that escaped my lips.

Friends. I didn’t have one anymore.

I gave him a nod, affirmation. I heard his phone going off, and he pulled it out. “Hello.”

He hummed in his phone glancing at me and cut it. “Damien said he has to told you about his diet so you can prepare food accordingly.” His face never leaving a small smile. “He wants to discuss that. Go upstairs.” I nodded at him and saw Steven giving me a wave and walking towards the door.

My eyebrows furrowed. Weren’t they going together? He must have sensed my question. “I have an operation in less than an hour. I couldn’t be late.” He walked towards the door and turned to wave at me.

I smiled as he gave me a wink and then he was gone.

I walked upstairs towards his room, which I was unaware of. I have never been there. I moved towards my room, where I saw him sitting on my bed. He looked up from the phone he was typing in, and something trembled inside me looking at his intense gaze. They always nervous me.

I saw him taking steps towards me, and I don’t know why I took a few steps back. He didn’t stop there. His pace only increased taking longer strides towards me. My heart accelerated at the fastest rate when I took a few steps more ard until I felt my back connecting with the cold wall.

He didn’t stop. He continued strutting towards me, nearer and nearer and I could feel my heart almost getting out of my ribcage at the nervousness I was feeling. What was he doing?

He stood just a few centimetres away from me, that I could feel his body heat radiating towards me. He dipped his head down at my level, and his soft warm breaths fell over my cheekbones and goose bumps run throughout my body.
