Ying Yue pushed herself away from him and walked over to her kitchen. 'Why did I say that out loud?! It was practically a chicken going to the butcher himself!' She could feel him laughing at her from behind without having to look. There was no sound but his body was shaking from controlling it.
"Come on Kitten, you know you don't hate me." Xi Long followed her into the kitchen as he saw her try to escape him.
"Oh yeah, how-how do you know that!"
"Well Kitten, I doubt you would enjoy my hug if you hated me and wouldn't have agreed to this date."
"I did not enj- wait date? What date? I'm too tired to go out."
"Exactly, therefore we're doing a home date. I cook and we cuddle with a movie how does that sound?"
"I don't agree!"
"Me too, let's skip the movie and just do food and cuddling?" Xi Long's face broke out into a huge smile as he saw her rosy face break out into a flaming pepper. Without waiting for her to respond, he took out his phone and cancelled his reservations and phoned his secretary to inform him of the change of plans. He also wanted to make sure that no matter what he wasn't going to be disturbed tonight, it was his special time with his kitten! Shufen and him knew how much work he had put in to be able to take the night off work and how he would murder anyone that dared to interrupt his date. Hanging up his phone he walked past the confused Ying Yue towards her fridge. He had changed the plans so quickly that he didn't have time to check what ingredients he had to work with. Pulling the handle open he looked into the fridge to see a completely barren fridge.
"Kitten where's the food?"
"I...um I have noodles?"
Black lines formed on his face as he heard her answer. 'What did she eat? Does she even eat?'
Ying Yue looked down with a guilty look as she faced his accusing eyes. She barely could get her mind wrapped around him being here, in her house, and now they were going on a date? IN her house? He had done things so quickly that she barely had the time to protest before he had cancelled his reservations and opened her fridge. She had focused so much energy on him that she failed to notice that her face was still red and her eyes were slightly shining with joy. Her words denied him but her body always betrayed her true feelings towards him.
Sighing he closed the fridge door and grabbed his keys. "Go get changed let's go grocery shopping."
"Grocery shop?" Ying Yue stared at him with confusion. Why did they have to go? She had noodles!
"Yes, we need to get some food for me to cook with and you're coming with me."
"No, we have noodles let's do that! Or let's go order out."
His face twisted into a frown, "No we're getting some better food and you're going to take that pretty little butt and get ready or so help me I will kiss you until you do."
"You-you dare!"
"Wanna bet?" Xi Long smirked and took steps towards her. The threat was real and his lips twitched at the promise of tasting her. Seeing that he was serious Ying Yue dashed into her room before he had managed to grab her. Switching into a pair of ripped dark blue jeans, a white tank top and a blue windbreaker she stepped back outside. Before she could place her mask on her face she felt herself being pulled into a warm embrace again. Looking up at him she saw that his eyes had grown darker with warmth as he looked back at her. She was stunned by the look in his eyes, what did she do to get him like this? What does this look mean? She could see the warmth but did not understand the feelings behind it. Waiting for a shameless comment to come out of his mouth she was surprised when he just smiled at her and kissed her forehead before pulling away.
"Let's go." Clearing his throat, he spoke in a soft but deep voice and headed towards the door. He did not notice her reaction but focused on pushing down the foreign emotions he was feeling. The moment she stepped out from her bedroom looking at him with a gentle smile he felt his breath leave him. This was a common reaction he had when he saw her but there was something about the normalcy that made today different. He could imagine himself waiting for her 20 years in the future just to go to the supermarket and run other small errands. Foreign feelings filled him at this little peace he managed to obtain, his life was constantly filled with blood and brutal battles so this moment was special. He wasn't sure where the relationship was heading and even when he could officially call her 'his' but he was sure she was someone he could imagine a future with. This was crazy to him, he had these foreign feelings and thoughts about her that were getting stronger by the day. It was less than a week since he met her and here he was imaging a future with her. He had long given up on having a family since the horror that happened to his but here she was changing his mind without knowing it.
Chuckling at his foolishness he turned around to see her still in a daze touching the spot on her forehead he kissed. Raising his eyebrows she snapped out of her haze and slipped on her mask glaring at him. Walking over to him she pushed him out the door while she turned on her security system and locked the door behind her.
Following him, they went over to his car and quickly entered the low-key vehicle. Pulling out of the parking lot they drove over to a local supermarket in harmonious silence.
"Next time kitten we should go to a local farmer's market, the produce is way better but today the grocery store would suffice."
"Mhm." She had responded automatically to him but would it matter if she said no? It seemed that to this man everything she said was her 'hiding' her affection to him and since she had embarrassed herself enough today she would just stay silent.
Peaking at her from the corner of his eye he could see her determination to not answer him but it didn't bother him. She still agreed to another date even if it was just a sound. Stepping out of the car he waited for her to get close enough to him before grabbing her hand and holding it in his grasp. He gave her hand a tight squeeze and pulled her inside the store.
