I could see in his eyes that he didn't mean to hurt me. He picked me up, and took me to the couch. Quickly taking out the first aid kit, he gently pulled out the shard of glass in my hand.

"I...I'm sorry Aura. I really didn't mean to hur－". He started apologizing, but I kissed his lips shut. "It's fine. I know you'd never hurt me intentionally, and it's my fault all this happened". I say to him, as my tears keep falling.

Vaughn gently cups my face, and wipes my tears. "I hate tears, Aura. Y'know that, so please stop crying". He says in a concerned tone. I hug him tightly, and explain everything to him. But he doesn't seem surprised by the fact that my parents don't want he and I together.

"I'm really sorry for the way I reacted, Aura. I should've trusted you more. I was hurt, because I thought you had betrayed me". Vaughn apologises once again. I smile at him, and he pecks my lips. A wave of heat washes over me, and I have to remind myself to breathe.

I'm certain Vaughn knows something about the feud between our parents, but he's not saying anything.

Just when I was about to ask him, he took a deep breath and sighed. "I expected this reaction from them". That statement confirms my suspicion. I slowly lift my head from his chest. "You know the reason, don't you?". I ask.

He remains silent for a while, then he responds "Yes I do. But I can't tell you anything now". Now I'm worried. Why is no one telling me anything? I thought at least he'd say something. I keep pestering him, but he still doesn't say anything.

I knew he'd tell me when the time was right, so I didn't bother about it anymore. I get up to go to the kitchen, and he pulls me back. "Where are you going?". Vaughn asked in a concerned tone.

I smile at him. "I'm just going to the kitchen. I'm starving y'know". I say to him. He suddenly gets up and picks me up. "What are you doing, Vaughn? Put me down!". I yell. "I'm taking you to the kitchen". He says as he smiled mischievously.

When we get to the kitchen, he sits me down on the kitchen island. Then he leans in closer to me. "Now tell me princess, how do you intend to cook with an injured hand?". It was then I remembered that I had hurt my hand.

He pecks my lips and smiles. "Don't worry. I'd personally cook for you today. What would you like to have?". I always look forward to eating Vaughn's cooking. Not gonna lie, he makes good food. And even though I hate to admit it, he cooks better than me.

"Um.....I'd have a bowl of pork noodles with a side of fried eggs and grilled pork chops". I say to him. He pulls my nose and says "Noodles would be the death of you". We both laugh, and then he gets to work.

The best part of Vaughn cooking, is watching him cook. The way he does everything with so much precision, is so captivating. It's like he enters into a different mode when he starts cooking.

I'm starting to sweat in my velvet dress, but I can't take my eyes off the man in front of me. As soon as he's done, he takes the dishes to the dining table, then he returns to carry me to the table.

Trust me I love the attention. I love how he treats me like the center of his universe. He set me down on the chair and kisses my forehead. We start eating, and I could swear this is the best bowl of pork noodles I ever had.

Vaughn watches me as I wolf down the food. He chuckles "Relax. No one is going to take the food away from you. Slow down". I stop eating, and push the bowl away from me, and pout. He laughs. "Okay, okay I won't make fun of you. Finish your noodles before it gets soggy". He says.

I take the plates to the kitchen when we finish eating. Vaughn hugs my waist from behind, as I try to wash the dishes. He kisses my neck, and pulls me away from the sink. "Your hand is injured. I'll do the dishes later. How about we do....something else?".

In an instant, he undid the zipper of my dress. I instinctively turn to face him. "What are you doing?". I whisper-yelled for some unknown reason. He smiles and slides the dress off my shoulders. He picks me up and kisses me deeply.

I wrap my legs around his waist, and kiss him back. "Didn't you want me to stop?". Vaughn says against my lips. I blink and try to pull away but he doesn't let me.
