nMadeline's POV

nThe way Hunter kissed me was telling me he misses me so much, and I can't stop myself from feeling so excited and happy that he came for me. I can still feel my limbs are trembling after I sat down on the dining chair. He excused himself and talked with Lydia, and I can't stop myself from touching my lips because I can still feel his lingering kiss. It feels so lovely, and I felt so embarrassed that I kissed him in front of my fellow employees without care.

nI don't know what they're talking about, but I have a hunch that they are talking about me because Lydia steals glances at me from time to time, and I got so conscious. When I turned my head to my right, I saw Lianne smiling broadly at me, and I can tell she is happy for me now, and I am so glad that she brought me to the parlor yesterday. I thought it was Cal who will pick me up, and I didn't expect Hunter will come all the way here to Magnolia Village to fetch me. I waved back to my friend, and she went back to the kitchen.

nI can't stop my heart from thumping so hard, and I want to control my nervousness, and I can feel butterflies on my stomach as I saw Hunter getting closer to me. He looked at me without blinking his eyes, and I like how he looked wearing casual clothes. I know Hunter seems hot every time he is wearing his business suit. Still, I like it more if my future husband is wearing this type of clothing because it made me think we look good together, and my stupid heart is telling me I am fit to be his wife.

n

"Are you hungry, Maddie?

" He asked in a calm tone.

n

"No, I am not starving, Hunter.

" I replied.

n

"Wow! I miss your voice calling my name, and I forgot how it made me feel so hot every time you mention my name.

" He replied, and I blushed.

n

"Madeline, why you felt embarrassed in front of me? You are going to be my wife soon, and I want you to feel comfortable with me.

" He said, and I swallowed my saliva because I felt like I would melt any time soon because of his intense stare. Why does he look so hot?

n

"Maybe because we don't spend more time together.

" I replied timidly.

n

"Don't worry because I will try my best to spend more time with you.

" He declared, and I am shocked by his answer.

n

"I know you are so busy with your work, and you don't need to do that.

" I said.

n

"We are getting married soon, and it is my duty as your husband to fulfill some of your needs, Madeline.

" He said in a husky voice, and I can feel goosebumps all over my body because my fiance is looking at me like he wants to devour my lips once again, and I hate myself for thinking what other things can Hunter do to me. I never experience being with a man before, and if ever I become his wife, he will become my first of everything, and I am so excited to give him my whole self, including my virginity.

nI can feel my entire face blushed, and I wonder why I am thinking about things like that. Why I suddenly feel so hot inside my body, and there is a new sensation that I feel creeping my entire torso, and I felt so ashamed that I realized I wanted Hunter Divenson to touch my whole frame. And we are staring into each other's eyes until our food came, and I felt my body turned cold when I saw Jack is the one serving our food.

n

"Hello, Mr.Divenson, welcome to our diner.

" He greeted him, and I don't want to look at Jack's face because I can see the sadness on his face.

n

"Hello, Chef. Thank you for always serving my meal every time I came here, and I hope to come here very often.

" Hunter smiled at Jack broadly.

n

"Of course, Mr. Divenson, it is our pleasure to have you here.

" Jack replied with a smile on his face, and then he turned his attention to me.

n

"Enjoy your food, Madeline, and I hope you will visit some other time.

" Jack said, and I can tell he is staring at me more than necessary that I heard Hunter cleared his throat.

n

"Don't worry, Chef, for I will bring her again here soon after our wedding day.

" Hunter declared, and I can tell it makes Jack stiffened, but he could hide his disappointment quickly, and he looked at Hunter again.

n

"That would be lovely, Mr. Divenson, and please enjoy your meal.

" He said and turned his heels away from us.

n

"Is Lydia's son hitting on you, Madeline?

" Hunter said, and I can hear the coldness on his voice, and I can see his face darkened. I want to laugh because I couldn't believe he became jealous of Jack, but I tried to hide my amusement because I don't want him to know I find it so funny.

n

"What you mean?

" I asked, and I pretended to act innocent and unaware of Jack's stares.

n

"It is obvious Madeline, the Chef likes you, by the way, he looked at you with tenderness on his face. I can tell he has feelings for you.

" He declared.

n

"So, what?

" I asked, and I couldn't believe I said those two words.

n

"For heaven's sake, Maddie, you are getting married to me, and you were flirting with Lydia's son?

" He asked in a stern voice, and I can see the anger on his face, and I suddenly became conscious if someone might hear him, and I felt so relieved that no one is around, and I guess they give us some privacy to talk.

n

"Why do you sound so angry? Are you jealous, Hunter?

" I asked, and I don't know where I got the courage to talk to him like this, and I realized maybe it was when he hurt my feelings when he flirted with Kaye. My question took him off guard, and his face softened.

n

"No, I am not jealous, but I am angry because you are my fiancee.

" He said, and I know he was trying to hide his genuine emotions.

n

"You don't have any right to feel jealous in the first place because I never flirted with Jack. We are just friends, and I will be honest with you, he confessed his feelings for me, but I turn him down because you are the only person who occupies my heart and mind. It was you who flirted Kaye, and I hope this time you will realize how it feels.

" I growled.

n

"Madeline, please eat your meal now.

" He said, and I lose my appetite to eat because I remember the time he completely ignored me. After all, he was flirting with Kaye, and knowing they were just friends made me so jealous that I ran away from their mansion. I don't want to eat, but the aroma of the food in front of me is so tempting, and I know Jack's food is excellent. As I take my first bite of the menu, Jack served us I can't contain myself from closing my eyes as I taste its savory flavor. I forgot that I am upset with Hunter, I devour my food without watching his face, and by the time I raised my head, I found him looking at me with fascination in his eyes.

n

"What?

" I asked him, and he smiled while he shook his head.

n

"You are different, Maddie. You fascinate me beyond what I can imagine.

" He said, and his statement made me curious.

n

"Why?

" I asked again.

n

"I know I made you upset, and you were angry with me, but you still have the appetite to eat, and for that, you make me so happy.

" Hunter declared, and then he looked at my face sincerely.

n

"Look, Madeline, I am sorry if I got angry about Jack. I don't know what you call it, but I don't want any man to go near you and look at you like you belong to them because you are mine.

" He said, and I almost choke the food that I eat, and I don't know if I feel happy or scared about Hunter's declaration, but the way he looked at me now tells me he wants me. I couldn't believe he will apologize, and it was enough for me to smile at him, and he took my hands over the table, and he squeezed them, and as I can feel the warmth of his palms, I can't stop myself from feeling so thrilled, and I can't stop feeling hot all over my body.

n

"Damn, you don't realize how I ache for you, Madeline.

" He said in more than a whisper, and I can tell my entire face blushed.

n

"I think we should get out from her now and take you somewhere where I can kiss every part of you.

" He said, and I can feel goosebumps all over my entire frame, and I am a liar if I will say his words do not arouse me. I felt shy because I never experience this kind of feeling before, but right now, as I looked at Hunter, how I wished, I am alone with him. Gina told me making love is something special, and it is hard to express in words.. For the first time, I want to know how it feels to lose my virginity to the man I love, Hunter Divenson, my future husband, and I can't stop myself from feeling excited as he looked at me with lust and passion.
