109 My One And Only

[It's time for a new ch..ch..ch..chapter!!]

[you know, I am an extremely talented man myself]

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At her snowy hill restaurant, Erina was in the kitchen cooking her nine-course meal, she was using her time carefully, she doesn't want to mess this up. Just like Alice did; Erina can't take this any further, she must act at once.

Erina unlike her usual dominant cooking skills, she wasn't trying to show her dominance but was trying to convey her emotions.

This nine-course meal is her expressing her love for the man she loves.

"This is it! Erina-sama?" Arato who was behind Erina cooking the other customers' food, her master was about to confess her feelings to her love.

"Yes, I will do it, I...have to do it!" Erina determined, she will take all the risks, everything or nothing.

Erina finished making her last dish in her meal; Apple Tartlet Mignardises; a modern translation of the American apple pie.

Erina smiled with pride at her work.

Suddenly, a staff member rushed inside "Erina-sama!!" He called

"How dare you shout in front of Erina-sama!!" Arato wanted to smack this loud mouth of his

"Enough Hisako. What do you need?" Erina asked, she was in a good mood and she didn't mind this

"The guest you instructed us to keep an eye for has arriv--" before he can finish, Erina was already out of the kitchen.

Arato sighed with a chuckle.

Erina made her way to the big hall, many people greet her but she didn't mind them, all her focus was on the black reddish haired boy.

"Alexander-sama!!" Erina stopped in front of Alexander while trying to catch her breath.

Alexander chuckled at her red face "Take it easy, girl."

"You've come! Please come here!" Erina smiled and gestured for one table

"By the way..." Alexander looked behind him "I hope you don't mind if my uncle and his friends join us." Alfie, Vlad, and Keanu appeared from the door with Alfie looking around him curiously

The world went gray around Erina as she felt her heart sink down the ocean "Of course I don't mind!" She said 'NOOOO!!!' But what she was thinking.

Arato came from the kitchen to check on her master and she immediately recognized the fake and disparate smile on Erina's face. When she noticed Alexander and the others she know what she had to do.

Arato stepped in front of Erina and smiled sweetly "Dear customers, please follow me to your table." Arato grabbed Alfie by his hand and dragged him to the other hall separating him from Alexander and the others.

Erina looked at Hisako as if she was a God sent angel "Hisako!" It was at that moment when Erina realized how important Hisako was to her.

As for Vlad and Keanu, the two were smart enough to know what is going on, Vlad tapped Alexander's should and followed behind Arato and Alfie.

Keanu sighed and gave a thumbs up to Erina who had regained her colors before leaving them alone.

"Well..." Alexander called bringing Erina from her trance "Where should I set?" He asked.

"Ah! Here, here." Erina took him to the best table in her restaurant, she has been keeping this spot empty just for this.

Alexander sat down and stretched his body " So...where is my food?" Alexander smiled and rested his chin on his palm.

"Right away, I have prepared all of your favorites." Erina smiled with a light blush, she then returned to the kitchen and brought out the food she has been preparing with all of her heart.

She sat down with Alexander on the same table "Please...have a taste." She requested. Her aim wasn't him to judge her progress, but what comes after it.

Alexander's eyes scanned the nine-course dishes in front of him, and indeed, they all were one of his favorites

As Hors d'oeuvres, it was the Abalone Steak Hors d'oeuvres, a skewed steak like BBQ.

For the Soup, it was the Clam chowder.

Then the appetizers, Creamy Prosciutto Cracker was Alexander's favorite, it was always made by his mother for him.

And for the salad, Alexander always loved the Moroccan Shlada, very simple but very tasty.

The fish dish was the Masala fried Pomfret.

As for the main course, Chicken & mushroom puff pie.

After that was the Palate Cleanser, it was watermelon-basil ice.

Dessert was Cinnamon-honey creme brulee, Erina has tried to prepare this once back at Alexander's home, at that time, she butchered the dish completely, but just from its scent alone, Alexander could tell it was one of the best out there.

And finally, Alexander's favorite of them all, the Mignardise dish, the elegant Apple Tartlet; a type of French butter cookie. The cream is topped with a sweet tuile made from apple cider vinegar.

"I can see that you put a lot of hard work on this." Alexander complimented Erina.

"Not at all, it wasn't much of an effort." Erina so happy, her heart was about to burst 'How was Alice able to deal with this?' Erina wondered

Alexander didn't want to let the food get cold so he went down to the eating, and the taste was so great that he could compare it with the first seat, just like him, she could hone the flavor so the dish can come to life with the maximum flavor possible. But unlike Tsukasa, Alexander could feel Erina in every bite he has taken.

Even the dessert had a powerful impact on Alexander, Erina truly wasn't a chef to be played with!

Alexander wasn't just eating the best food right now, he was eating the best food made by Erina, and that was very clear to him.

Alexander was satisfied with each bite, never disappointed, by the time he had finished, he had completely emptied every dish.

"I did not expect this! Erina, you have really grown!" Alexander couldn't help but praise Erina as he wiped his lips.

Erina felt very happy, but she knows that she has to act now, this is her chance, if she can't do it now, then when?

"A-Alexander-sama...I...I..." Erina felt like her heart was about to burst, Alexander could only tilt his head in confusion.

"Yes?" He asked. Alexander took a cup of water and let her have her time.

Erina clenched her hands, she knows that only Alexander, only him, him alone. He was the only one who could fix her broken heart, a heart that was broken and corrupted by her father.

When she is with him, the pain from the past goes away and only peace follows her. Whatever it takes.

Erina looked at Alexander in the eyes and said "I love you! I want to live with you as my one and only love!" Erina closed her eyes as she said what was on her mind and heart.

Alexander who heard her was frozen in his place, water dripping on his chest as his cup was still on his lips. His eyes were trembling from shock.

"Y..You don't have to answer me now!! I only wanted to say my feelings to you, you can tell me your decision later!!" Erina couldn't take it anymore and took off trying to get away, she was wrong, she can't handle all of this. What if he rejected her? what if he said he was disgusted by her? what if? what if? what if?!!!

"OI! wait!!" Alexander snapped out of his shock to see Erina taking off running away.

He was about to go follow her, and that was when he saw Erina pump into a tall man in a black coat.

Erina fell on the floor while the man didn't budge from his place.

"Why the rush, Erina?" The man asked with a deep and calm voice that made Erina feel cold in her heart despite beating so fast.

"F...Father?!" Erina uttered this one word with fear that she has forgotten for a long time.
