18 Contagious

"But-"

"I-I'm hungry. L-lets go back h-home." He interjects and starts walks off, leaving the maze garden.

Dumbfounded, Luna tilts her head a little. "Huh? So, is he okay if I tease him about the kiss later?"

"Tch! Better not. What if the 'night' Raymond know about it? He might send me to the hell straight away." She suddenly feels chill down her spine just with that thought.

She then follows him from behind. Return back to the mansion. It's almost dinner time. Her routine every day is to make sure he consumes healthy food when they're at the dining table.

These past two weeks, she noticed that he hated to eat green food. And that makes her a bit irked. She loves green food. And each time, she will use any tactic to make sure he eats the green vegs.

When she passing by the kitchen earlier, she saw the chef preparing broccoli for dinner tonight. So, it means, she needs to find another way to make him eat that too.

…

At the dining table.

Raymond played with the broccoli on his plate. Most of the other dishes in his plate already eaten by Raymond, except for a few chunks of broccoli. He pricking the broccoli with his fork and pouted. His face looks so sour.

"Dear…" Luna look at him which is now playing with the food on his plate. Her voice didn't get through him as he ignores her.

"Hm, you know I like green vegs, right?"

Still being ignored. 'Alright, you asked me to do this.' Luna stands up from her chair and went to his side.

That makes Raymond avert his attention to her. Raise his eyebrow a bit, asking her 'what?'

Bend her body a bit, she slips her hair strand behind her ear. Unconsciously, Raymond gulped to see her snow-white skin neck and it was beautifully carved by the god. She was bending so close to him to where he could see her cleavage.

Her soft and nice scent of hair makes his heartbeat gone up crazily again. Her long eyelash and her rosy pink lips make him sweat a bit. He doesn't know how to describe this feeling that arose when she was so close to him. It's a bit bothering him, but at the same time, he feels like he wanted to stop time from ticking. He wants to keep staring at her like this, but, his body resisting him to do so.

The struggle that only he knows.

"Listen, I love a man who eats green vegs. Especially broccoli and asparagus. If you eat this.." She averts her eyes alluringly to him, staring his grey eyes before she utters it slowly. "I will gift you one kiss."

Raymond immediately lowered his head and stare at the plate instead of looking at her seductive face. He slowly shakes his head before he answers it. "N-no."

Raymond immediately lowered his head and stare at the plate rather than looking at her seductive face. He slowly shakes his head before he answers it. "N-no."

"On the cheek. Are you sure you don't want it?" She gently touches his cheek with her index finger and turns his face to look at her.

'You're so red, dear. I can read your face clearly. Come on, eat your food.'

Again, he gulps a bit. "I-I.."

Luna doesn't wait for him to finish his word as she pricks the broccoli with the fork and fed him.

Caught off guard, Raymond chews the broccoli. His face turns pale and grimaces, however, he still eats it and swallows it like its the disgusting thing.

Just when he opened his mouth again, Luna fed him with another chunk of broccoli. Until it was done, Raymond immediately grabs a glass of water and drink it like he was so thirsty.

He hates the aftertaste of the broccoli, that is why he drinks the water like he was so damn thirsty. He panting a bit while putting down the third glass of water. His face seems like he was just finished getting a punishment by eating the broccoli.

Giggling softly, she draws his face using her finger again, looking at her. "Good boy."

She wants to kiss him on the cheek, but he moves his face and her lips landed on the corner of his lips. Both of them blushed by the brazen act she does.

Feeling shy seeing how red Raymond face just because of the kiss makes her immediately standing up straight back. 'It contagious.'

"Um..I...I think I gonna go upstairs and take a shower. Quite hot here." She leaves the dining hall quickly when her face also turns red like him.

At the corner of the room, there's still another maid and Mr. Carson standing there watching all the drama between the two.

Raymond looking up at the butler. His face looks like he wanna cry any moment. "I-I wanna h-holed up."

"Oh, right away Master Raymond." Mr. Carson hurriedly went to him and help him up from the chair and bring him to his bedroom.

Both of them forgot that tonight, they will start to sleep in one room again. After Mr. Carson send him to his bed, he leaves the room and continues to do his job downstairs.

Raymond takes a fresh air at the balcony of his room. He sits on the rattan swing and stares at the night sky blankly. Its been sixteen days since he marries her, but it seems like he already too attached to her.

…

Half an hour passed by.

Luna walkout from the closet room with her satin pajamas and saw that Raymond sit on the rattan swing in the balcony.

She then walks silently to him and suddenly pops up in front of him. "Boo!"

"Ah!!" Raymond almost jumps from the swing. He then touches his chest which beating faster because of the shocked. While Luna laughing softly because she was able to scare him like that.

He then glares at her, making her shudder a bit. That glare is similar to the 'night' Raymond. Oh, speaking of that..' night' Raymond only wakes up at the middle of the night around twelve to three AM. Right now it's only 8:00 PM, there's still time before they going to bed.

"Raymond..do you wanna watch a movie with me?" Luna changes the subject. She doesn't want to tease him further.

"Hm? W-what movie?"

"I dunno. Iron Man 3, maybe? It just released out last month." She said while taking his hand and lead him back to the room.
