Lucas was shocked to get unusual treatment from Ellena. He looked at Ellena's hand that had been hanging in front of his mouth. Maybe for some people it was a matter of course, but not for Lucas. According to him, it was very romantic for an Ellena who previously looked very stiff against him.
Misbehavior, of course. How come? He really couldn't believe that Ellena would dare to feed him. Ah, this is like a dream to him. At the same time, his heart began to beat irregularly. In fact, he could barely control the beating of his heart that was getting crazier inside.
"Let's eat, Lucas!" Ellena's voice immediately made Lucas flinch and slightly blinked his eyes. He then looked at Ellena who had been waiting for him. "You deliberately want to let my hands feel sore like this?" asked Ellena a little curtly.
Lucas looked away for a moment. He deliberately wanted to neutralize his feelings first, before finally responding to the woman in front of him.
"You mean, I have to eat straight from your hand like that?" Lucas looked at Ellena a little sharply.
"Yes. The way to eat it is better like this. You try a little first. If it doesn't taste good, you can not eat it." Again, Ellena persuaded Lucas for the umpteenth time.
Lucas looked back at Ellena's hand, then he swallowed heavily. That looks really disgusting. Can't Ellena just feed him with a spoon? Let alone from the hands of others, eating using his own hands he very rarely does it. In fact, he probably almost never did.
Constantly getting interruptions from Ellena, made him feel curious about the food too. After much thought, he finally decided to eat the food. With a little hesitation his mouth grabbed the food from Ellena's hand. He did feel nauseous for a while, but he tried to hold it in.
A happy grin appeared on Ellena's face, when she saw Lucas who was willing to grab the food from her hand. Finally, she could also persuade a stubborn man like Lucas. Looks like Lucas will have to admit defeat this time.
Lucas then started chewing the food that was already in his mouth slowly. Instantly he bulged when he felt the very strange taste of the food. However, it was undeniable that the taste of the food was indeed delicious as Ellena had said. Really, it was delicious. For some reason he immediately got a different sensation from the taste of that simple food. This was very much different from the food he had often eaten before.
'Ah, why is this so delicious. How can my tongue enjoy such a simple meal so much?' Lucas was starting to wonder.
"What do you think?" asked Ellena who had been watching Lucas' expression.
"Ehem, I'll eat by myself." Lucas replied, slightly embarrassed and doubtful. This suddenly made Elena smile.
Without thinking and paying attention to Ellena, Lucas immediately grabbed the spoon that was on the table. Actually he was embarrassed, because he had refused the food. However, because of the delicacy of the food, it seemed that he had to cut his own shame.
"Are you going to eat with a spoon?" asked Elena.
"Yeah. I can't eat with my hands, my hands will be dirty and smelly," Lucas answered without turning to look at Ellena. He was ready to take the pair of spoons and place them on the plate.
"No, Lucas. It won't taste good if you eat it with a spoon, it's better with your own hands. Besides you can wash your hands too if they get dirty," Ellena explained.
"No! I'll still eat with a spoon." Lucas rejected Ellena's suggestion.
Ellena just took a breath, before she finally responded and said, "Okay, it's up to you!"
Not wanting to argue, Ellena finally allowed Lucas to eat as he pleased.
They then resumed their eating activities. Besides Ellena, Lucas also started to grab a spoonful of rice, then put it in his mouth. However, for some reason he felt a different delicacy from before. It's true what Ellena said. The food is more delicious, when eaten straight from the hand and not using a spoon like that.
Ellena looked up slightly, when she noticed Lucas suddenly putting the spoon back on the plate. In fact, Lucas stopped his eating activities.
"Why?" asked Ellena in surprise.
"Not good," Lucas answered matter-of-factly.
Elena sighed again. 'That's the result of being a selfish person." He grumbled to himself.
"I told you, food tastes better when you eat it with your hands, you're so stubborn!" Ellena's words again managed to make Lucas laugh.
'How dare she call me stubborn!' Lucas muttered under his breath.
"I don't want to get my hands dirty. You just feed me again!" Lucas asked as he folded his arms on the table and leaned forward.
"Then what about my food? I'm hungry too, Lucas!" Ellena protested while staring intently at Lucas' face. Ah, looks like she's sorry for feeding Lucas. If it is like this, it is certain that the eating activity will be delayed.
"I'll feed you too, but with a spoon," Lucas replied casually.
"No, I don't want to it! Didn't you say yourself that eating with a spoon is bad?" reject Ellena then. 'How can Lucas only care about his own stomach." She thought
"Okay, then we eat together, but you still feed me." Lucas asked not wanting to lose.
Again Ellena snorted harshly. She really regretted having made Lucas taste the delicious food. 'Ah, why is it like this, wasn't my intention to work on him? Why am I the one getting into trouble?' Ellena muttered to herself.
With a bit of compulsion, Ellena finally followed Lucas' wish. She ate and fed Lucas in turn. Eating in such conditions, it is not the sensation of the delicious food that she feels, but there are other sensations that can disturb her mind.
Yes, of course. How come? From the first time she fed Lucas, she had felt her heart racing. The heartbeat was getting more intense, when she did the activity over and over again. Really, she was surprised and did not understand what she was feeling right now. In fact, she felt overwhelmed by her sense of insanity. She almost went crazy over it, but she did her best to deal with it as best she could.
Not to mention Lucas who had been staring at her so deeply, without even batting an eye. Ah, Ellena is getting more and more awkward by that man.
"Why did you stop?" Lucas asked surprised when he saw Ellena who stopped feeding him. "I've been waiting for a long time." He added later.
"Don't look at me like that!" Ellena protested as she felt that she was too overwhelmed to control her already erratic feelings.
Hearing Ellena's protest, Lucas actually seemed to smile. I don't know what he was thinking, what was clear was that his attitude was enough to make Ellena look annoyed with him.
"What are you doing? Didn't I just stare at you like usual?" Lucas asked as if he wanted to tease Ellena on purpose.
"No!" Ellena said reflexively.
"Is something bothering you?" Lucas looked at Ellena questioningly while continuing to smile. Apparently, he likes to tease the woman in front of him.
"Lucas, don't you know that your attitude makes me—ah ... never mind, you'd better eat yourself!" Ellena seemed to sigh in frustration.
"Making what?" Lucas' gaze turned sad, making Ellena's heart flutter even more.
"It doesn't matter, you don't need to know that!" Ellena lowered her gaze. Of course she didn't dare to look at Lucas again in that condition. Lucas didn't know that Ellena felt her heart as if it was going to jump out of there.
Seeing Ellena who was already very embarrassed to face him, Lucas lifted the corners of his lips into a smile. He looked at Ellena who was still bowed in front of him. Ah, Ellena is so adorable. He seemed to enjoy teasing her and was even more pleased when he saw Ellena acting like that.
After a few seconds had passed, Lucas raised his right hand and grabbed Ellena's hand, then placed the tiny hand on the plate. "You continue to feed me. I'm very hungry because I haven't eaten since this afternoon." He said which suddenly made Ellena looked up and was stunned for a moment.
Ellena looked deeply at Lucas. Her heart was beating even faster than before. Like a drum about to war, maybe that's what Ellena is feeling right now. Really, she had a hard time controlling her feelings. For some reason she was able to feel such a great vibe when she was with Lucas, the man who had clearly changed her life drastically in such a short period of time.
"You're still willing to feed me, aren't you?" Lucas stared expectantly without taking his hand from Ellena's.
Ellena who previously always refused if Lucas touched any part of her body, even if it was just a hand. However, this time she just couldn't refuse and there was no feeling of wanting to refuse. Somehow she started to feel comfortable when Lucas held her hand like that.
For the umpteenth time Ellena sighed. This time, she took a deep breath. She tried to neutralize her feelings again by trying to get rid of all the feelings that were bothering her heart and mind at this time.
It's really unexpected. She didn't expect that the incident involving her and Lucas today would end up like that. She seemed trapped by her own doing. Not only regret that she had fed Lucas, she even regretted that she had invited Lucas to eat at that place.
'No! This is wrong. Remember, Ellena ... there is Keenan waiting for you. Don't get carried away easily just because Lucas treats you like that. Rest assured that it's just a trick Lucas is trying to seduce you. In fact, he couldn't possibly be the least bit interested in you!' Ellena tried to control herself with her own thoughts.
"Okay. Get your hands out of the way, we'll continue eating." Ellena whispered as she looked at Lucas' hand, which was still holding hers. It suddenly made Lucas retract his hand and sit back in his original position.
'Okay, Ellena, let's just say you lost to Lucas today. Oh no! Rather you're trying to give in, because you don't want to stay in this place with him any longer.' Again Elena thought to herself.
Without waiting to be commanded again, Ellena resumed her feeding activities to Lucas.. Instantly a grin of pleasure appeared on Lucas' face, though it was a little stifled.
