08

Amanda seems anxious for the past two days. Darko's handsome face always haunt in her mind. Not only his face, but also his voice and touch, joined to become a fun and tense fantasy for Amanda. Damn!

Amanda paced in front of her desk and nibbled the tip of the pen in her hand. Maybe this is one of her karmas, because she often mocked even openly insulted her bestfriend, Nana.

"Gosh! I'm going crazy like this shit. What witch are he using so my brain seems fixated on him? Ah, damn it!" Amanda grumbled.

Her desk straggle with papers, she doesn't even care anymore about her work deadline. After the hot kiss that had taken place two days ago, that man seemed to disappear into the earth somewhere.

Amanda doesn't miss him. Oh come on, he just wondered where the bastard's disappearance was.

Amanda call her assistant to get to the room soon.

"Come to my room, right now," Amanda ordered without further.

A knock on the door hear. "Come in," Amanda shouted.

"What can I do for you, ma'am?" Isabel asked.

"Look after all these files, tidy up and separate by company. I will go home early, I had a headache. I need refreshing for a moment, I will continue my work tomorrow," Amanda explained to Isabel.

Isabel only nodded when she received an explanation from Amanda. She is one of the most nimble and obedient assistants in what Amanda has. Never denied and never interfered in Amanda's business.

Amanda took her bag and put on her blazer. She prepared to leave her office and rushed back to her apartment then continued to look for fun at her favorite night club.

Amanda needs alcohol tonight. She needs to refresh her brain which has been contaminated by businessman who is said to be famous and rich. Ah ~ whatever, Amanda doesn't care about his material.

The quiet atmosphere welcomed her at the apartment. Amanda turn on all the lights, sat herself on the soft couch while scrolling with her cellphone. She tried to contact her bestfriend who was in New York, Nana.

"When will you going back to Indonesia?" Amanda asked without further.

"Slow down, babe. I'll be there soon, I still have some work unfinished, then I have time for leave. I will immediately run away and have fun with you there," Nana said and Amanda only nodding eventhough Nana didn’t see the movements that she did.

Amanda sighed tiredly. Her stomach growled loudly. Amanda chose to change into home clothes and immediately rushed to the kitchen. Amanda took a red apple and took a bite while observing what she had to cook. It’s a long time Amanda had not played with a frying pan and spatula, remembering so many work deadlines.

Amanda sighed when look up on refrigerator that has nothing. She choose to shop at the supermarket located in the basement apartment. Bored with restaurant cooking, she wants to eat her own food.

Teriyaki salmon bok choy menu choices that Amanda will cook.

Amanda chose only to wear a sleeveless white tshirt that only covered part of her smooth white thighs, to go shopping.

She become the center of attention by people around the basement apartment and supermarket. But she is Amanda who never care about what people think about her. She walked carelessly, picked up the grocery basket and looked for the ingredients she needs.

Amanda chooses the vegetables ingredient for cooking, carefully.

"Are you trying to tempt me by dressing like this?" whispered a man who suddenly shocked Amanda and make her threw the cherry tomatoes she was holding.

“Oh my God!” Shocked Amanda.

Amanda's sharp eyes stumbled as she looked at the man who had just startled her and whispered in her ear. The man who was bothering her mind for these past two days, not two days but the last few times. Who else if not Darko, the bastard man who suddenly came and vanished so easily.

"Why are you here? Are you stalking me?" Amanda accused.

That less expression man only showed a smirk on his handsome face, which unfortunately made Amanda's heart rumble violently.

"I'm not stalking you. But your radar show me your whereabouts," said Darko making Amanda gushed.

"Tch! Your crap won't affect me. Go away, it's good you went missing some days from my sight," Amanda said.

Amanda tried to ignore the existence of Darko and returned to busy choosing what food items to buy.

"You're going to cook salmon," said Darko who was apparently still loyal to following Amanda's movements.

Amanda massaged her temples and growled muffled when she heard that man voices who is able to damage the performance of her brain.

"Why are you still following me? Oh, God, don’t you understand the language I speak?" Amanda put down the basket she was holding to the floor and put her hands on her waist and glared at Darko.

Darko moved swiftly to pick up Amanda's shopping basket and put his arm around Amanda's waist. They both look like a perfect match.

"How a romantic young couple. Just shopping must embrace to each other," said one supermarket visitor who is not far from Amanda and Darko.

"How good looking you both. You are a very harmonious couple, hopefully you will have a baby soon."

"Take a good care of your husband, many women snatch your husband spread all over in Indonesia. Women nowadays like europn face like your husband."

Amanda lost for words to respond to the what the old ladies said about them. Meanwhile, Darko only smiled softly when hear the words of the old ladies, eventhough he didn’t understand the Indonesian language used well, but he was sure the old ladies were praising their togetherness both.

Amanda immediately released herself from Darko's hug and walked towards the meat section.

"You left me," said Darko without guilt.

Amanda turned her body to face Darko completely and stared intently.

"What the hell do you really want?" Amanda asked with restrained emotion.

"I'm hungry. I want to eat," Darko's reply was ambiguous in Amanda's ear and the woman snorted in annoyance.

"There's a cafe on the other side. You can go there to eat. Stay away from me," Amanda gave Darko a directions about the cafe in front of her apartment.

"I don't want other people's cooking. I just want to eat my woman," Darko said flatly.

Amanda choked on her saliva as she about to answer Darko's words. Darko swiftly gave a bottle of yogurt near them. Amanda gulped it down even with narrowed eyes because it was quite sour.

“Eating your woman? Well, go find your woman and eat her all you want," Amanda hissed in emotion.

"Find? My woman is in front of me, she is putting on an annoyed face and holding back her emotions right now," Darko said casually without any burden.

Amanda tired, she waves her palm and rolled her eyes lazyly. "Whatever! Up to you, do what you want."

Amanda continued her shopping to choose fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and fish as needed. He let Darko, the handsome masculine man, carrying all the items of her shopping and walk behind her. It would be useless if Amanda kick him out, that man will still stubbornly refute it.

Two plates of Teriyaki Salmon Bok Choy, Tomato Spinach Shrimp Pasta and Winter Fruit Salad are served on Amanda's dining table.

Amanda gaped at seeing all the food that was presented on her desk. All food looks so appetizing. Amanda won’t believe that all of the dishes were made by Darko if he didn't cook them directly in Amanda's kitchen.

"You must try all my cooking," Darko offered, wiping his palms and allowing Amanda to sit beside him.

Amanda is very impatient to taste all the dishes.

"You have to eat a lot. Your fragile body won't look sexy anymore if you lack healthy food intake," said Darko sarcasticly.

Amanda glanced sarcastically. "I didn't think you can cook all this," Amanda's mouth itched to say such a thing.

Darko smiled crookedly. "You can see how multitalentent I am. Aren't I included in the ranks of perfect men, so desired and dreamed of the women out there?"

"Tch! Unfortunately I'm not one of those women.” Avoid Amanda, eventhough her lips and heart didn't match.

"Really? I feel so excited to conquer you," said Darko while slicing salmon on his plate.

"Dreaming too high, Mr. Darko," Amanda snapped.

The woman focused on the food on her plate, chewing it while correcting the taste in the dish. She thinks, she can mock Darco’s cook, but the food is so delicious. But, don't expect Amanda to praise him, she doesn't want the man to be big-headed later.

The two of them enjoyed the food in silence, only the sound of clinking of flatware hear.

Amanda took care the dishes. She felt this dinner was so different, simple but thrilling. She left Darko who was still sitting faithfully at the dining table with a serious face while staring at his cellphone. Wondering what the man watching or doing, Amanda doesn’t want to know and don’t even care.

When she focuses in her thoughts and also doing the dishes, Amanda shock by a pair of sturdy arms suddenly wrap around her waist. There is no need to ask who was the culprit, because in the apartment there were only Amanda and Darko.

Amanda's body instantly stiffened, her heart pounding, a masculine scent wafting from Darko's body made Amanda's dirty thoughts just appear. Her body temperature heats up, remembering that Darko's upper body is not covered.

"I'm hungry," Darko whispered in a hoarse voice.

Amanda's hands trembled with soap foam in her entire palm. Her lips being mute, her hair on her neck bristled at Darko's ambiguous whispers.

"You just eat, didn’t you?" said Amanda nervously, trying to control herself.

Darko shake his head and kissed Amanda's shoulder gently. A strange tingle arises during Darko's sweet treatment of her. The lollipop holder is down there twitching, wanting to wriggle but bigger it wants to be caressed more.

"I want a real dinner," Darko whispered again.

Oh, shit! Why did the whisper of the devil coming out of the mouth of this handsome man behind Amanda, Even it felt like the whisper of the wind of heaven in Amanda's ears? Amanda's world has been turned upside down because of Darko's charm.

Darko turned Amanda's body and crushed her. Their bodies pressed, Amanda's fingers that still filled with soapy foam held firmly at the edge of her kitchen sink.

Her throat choked, her body temperature heats up and his heartbeat pounding erratically. Darko's warm breath felt on Amanda's face. The woman spontaneously closed her eyes as Darko's head lowered and pressed his lips against Amanda's smooth white neck.

"Damn! It’s so good," Amanda thought.

Darko's lips kiss and bite Amanda's neck a little tight so it left red marks like bruises there. His tongue playing behind Amanda's ear which is one of the sensitive points of a woman. A cheeky sigh escaped from Amanda's sharp mouth.

"Bastard man, can you make me moaning more than this? I even want to throwing myself as soon as possible, I'm already weak!" Amanda's demon side whispered.

"Shit! Hurry and push his body away from you. You're not a bitch, stupid Amanda Altakendra!" the angel Amanda whispered.

Amanda got the extremely headache. There is an inner war at this time from herself. She doesn't know which side to follow. The devil or her angel?
