C31 Thirty one

I sat cross-legged, looking up at the orange sky. I closed my eyes slightly because of the intense sunlight hitting my face. Even though I wasn't directly in the sun's rays, every time I looked up at the sky, I was dazzled.

A strong wind brought me back to reality. I adjusted my sitting position and placed some strands of hair behind my ear that were touching my cheek.

"You haven't finished fixing that yet. I thought you're already done," he said with a smile.

Cyrus set down the plate he was carrying, which had rice and a cup of menudo. He also placed a lemonade and water on the table.

I pouted, "It's almost done anyway," I said.

I moved the folders and papers in front of me to the side.

He nodded, "Alright, eat first, I'll help you fix it later after we eat,"

I nodded and smiled.

"Say Ah," he ordered.

"Ih,"

"Baby, Say Ah, I'll feed you," he ordered again.

My brows furrowed, "I can eat by myself, and I have hands," I grumbled.

"Baby... Just shut up and say ah, You talk too much,"

"Ah," I surrendered.

I opened my mouth, and he immediately fed me rice and ulam. I almost groaned because of the width of his smile.

"Good... Baby, Good," he said before feeding himself.

I wrinkled my nose at his words.

"Say ah, Again," he ordered again.

He lifted the spoon again and positioned it in front of my mouth.

"I'm not a baby, I don't nee---"

He chuckled, "But you're my Baby, So just open your mouth and eat this. So you can get full quickly," he cut me off.

I pouted and opened my mouth.

We probably looked ridiculous being stared at by other students. I felt like some of them were annoyed with me because Cyrus was feeding me. Like what Angel first told me, Cyrus is known here on campus. That's how it is nowadays, if you're handsome or beautiful, you're popular. I don't care if others like him, even if they roll their eyes 360 degrees. Well, too bad, he's the one I like.

"You know you're beautiful," he complimented.

I rolled my eyes, "I know,"

He laughed, "You know you're hardworking," then he gestured towards my stuff.

I nodded, "I know,"

He ran his fingers through his hair before taking a sip of water and looking at me.

"You know... I love you," and then he winked.

Like seriously!

"I-I know," I replied irritably.

I bit my lower lip and avoided his gaze. I wanted to scream or shout because of the sudden rush of excitement I felt.

I heard his slight laughter. I knew my face was beaming with a smile because of the uncontrollable grin.

"Oh, Selene, My Moon, My Baby are blushing. You look even more beautiful when you're blushing. But it's better when you're blushing just for me," and then he winked again.

Is there something wrong with his eyes? Why does he keep winking at me? And why do I feel like my panties are about to fall because of his winks?!

"Smooth talker!" I said jokingly.

"Say ah again, Baby," he ordered.

He positioned the spoon in front of me, so I just opened my mouth. He smiled while watching me chew.

"Then drink this," he handed me the lemonade. "Are you sure you want lemonade? Don't you want water?" He raised his brows.

I rolled my eyes, "You know everything," I said sarcastically.

He pouted, "Baby, You need to drink water," he said and handed me his water.

"That's for you," I handed it back to him.

"I'm for you,"

Such a tease!

"I'm not joking," I said with raised eyebrows.

Even inside, my organs were going wild with joy and excitement.

"I'm not joking either," he said back to me.

I swallowed hard, "Okay, let's just share. You drink from the lemonade, or I'll drink from your water. Alright?" I suggested.

"Yeah, Baby, Sure," he nodded in agreement.

"Do you want some?" I offered him the lemonade.

"I want you,"

I sighed and rolled my eyes.

He chuckled and winked.

"How can we have a decent conversation if that's all your answers are. All smooth talk," I said annoyedly.

I took his water and took a sip. I wasn't allowed to drink too much water because I drank lemonade, and my stomach might hurt.

He laughed, "Okay, Sorry, Baby,"

I just nodded and rolled my eyes again. We started eating again.

"Say ah," he ordered.

"I can do it myself and to finish eating faster," I pouted.

He sighed, "Alright, Last say ah," he ordered again.

I just nodded in agreement.

We started eating again without him feeding me. But with each bite he took, he had a mischievous smile on his lips and a seductive gaze on me.

"Behave yourself," I threatened.

He chuckled, "Why?" innocently asking.

"You keep staring," I said, embarrassedly avoiding his gaze.

He shrugged, "What's wrong with that?" he asked with a smile.

"Just eat. Isn't it delicious?" I pointed to the Menudo.

That's why this Menudo is my favorite here. It's so delicious, and it's obvious that they didn't skimp on the ingredients even though it's a bit expensive compared to others, it's worth it.

"Yeah," he nodded in agreement.

I smiled widely, "Right? Let's buy this again tomorrow because it never gets old,"

He nodded, "Yeah sure, But you seem more delicious," he teased.

I was surprised by what he said, so I angrily grabbed his hair to pull it.
