Purple Romance

Marvel splashed over on her face and sighed. She touched her beating chest and leaned against the sink.

''I will go and drink water at the kitchen?" Marvel repeated her statement and berated herself ''wow. What was that about? What kind of statement is that Marvel?'' she was busy scolding herself didn't see that Max was standing at the table dividing the kitchen from the dining table.

''What would you like to eat? I will prepare for you'' Max spoke and went into the kitchen. He opened the fridge and Marvel saw that he had a lot of homemade food vegetables and smiled.

''Do you like eating from home?'' Marvel asked curiously and he nodded his head.

''My whole family prefers eating at home. we only meet once every two weeks for dinner together'' Max said and looked at her ''what would you like to eat?''

''Rice, vegetable soup, rolled omelette and fish fillets. Do you have such things?'' Marvel asked.

''I didn't know you were such a glutton. Don't worry, I will feed you whatever you want to eat. You look so small, I need to feed you so that you will become meaty'' Max said and Marvel frowned.

''Women call that fatness. Do you intend to make me fat?'' Marvel asked.

''I don't mind a fat Marvel. You will look cute anyways''

''No, I don't want to be fat'' Marvel said.

''I don't mind but since you don't want to be fat, let's leave it like that. Is your happiness that means the most. Sit down, I will finish soon''

''Let me help you. I might not know a lot of things but I'm not a bad cook at all'' Marvel said and rolled the sleeves from her hands.

''No, you are my guest, I will serve you'' Max said and pulled her to the chair.

''But, I want to help you'' Marvel whined.

''You can help me when you become my girlfriend'' Max said and she blushed. Just then her phone rang.

''Oh, my phone?'' Marvel followed the sound and found the phone on the sofa and saw the caller ID and frowned ''that's my uncle. He must be worried about me. I didn't even tell him where I was going last night''.

''Answer it or he will only get more worried'' Max said and Marvel walked towards him as she answered the call.

''Hello, uncle'' Marvel moved the phone from her ear as she heard her uncle's scream on the phone.

''Hey, you, silly woman. Where did you go last night? You went to the hospital and returned acting like you lost your soul and ran off again and didn't even come back and didn't call me''

''Uncle, sorry. I wanted to call you but I forgot''

''Where are you? I made breakfast and ginger tea''

''Uncle, I am…'' Marvel didn't get to finish her sentence when the phone was snatched from her by Max. He turned the loudspeaker on and spoke.

''This is Max Denarius, Mr. Nelson'' Max introduced himself and Bernard Nelson who was serving the food froze and his face turned serious. He placed the bowls down and stood in a rather serious manner as he replied.

''Big boss'' Bernard Nelson screamed over the phone.

''Just call me Max, uncle Nelson. Marvel is with me. I will bring her home after breakfast. Don't wait up for her'' Max said.

''Sure, she doesn't need to come home and eat my mediocre food when she has a luxury meal over there. You can keep her for as long as you want. I don't mind'' Bernard Nelson said and Max looked at Marvel and smirked.

''Uncle, are you selling me? I am coming home after breakfast. What do you mean he can keep me for as long as he wants? Am I your niece or not?'' Marvel snatched the phone and asked her uncle.

''You, don't speak anyhow you want to Mr. Denarius. He is your elder'' Bernard Nelson said and continued ''you, have fun my niece'' he hung up after saying that and Marvel flushed.

''what did he mean by she should have fun? Why was her uncle so loyal that he would even sell his own niece away to his boss?''

''I just got permission to keep you to myself for as long as I want. Let's go on a date after breakfast'' Max said as he chopped the vegetables.

''But, I still have to go to the hospital and check on the models. They had food poisoning last night and are at the hospital. Our show is just a week away and there are a lot of things to do'' Marvel said.

''Then, I will go with you to the hospital first. I can help you with some of the work that way you will finish fast and we can go on a date'' Max said

.

''But, what if someone in your family sees us together? Won't they think I am trying to climb up the high society using you? You are the chairman of Denarius Group and a powerful person''

''No one will think that way. Contrary to what people say, my family isn't one to judge people. well, there is one person who would have judged you but that person already likes you and even asked me to make you a part of the family fast'' Max said.

''Huh? Who?'' Marvel asked.

''You will meet him very soon and you don't have to worry about people seeing us. A lot of people don't even know how I look like. As for the ones who know you, they will be surprised but they won't judge you because they trust my judgement. The woman I choice is the one they will love''

''Were you always one to make people speechless with your words? How could you make everything look so easy?'' Marvel asked.

''That's because I have a lot of experience over the years and I also know that you will fall for me very soon'' Max said and Marvel coughed and looked at him.

''Next time, don't tell me you have a boyfriend because you can only belong to me, Max Denarius. We are fated to be since a long time ago'' Max added.

''But, I haven't accepted to be with you yet. What makes you so confident that you can win me over? Let me tell you, I am no longer the 18-year-old you knew before. I am now 27 yes'' Marvel said and looked at him.

''Do you want to bet on it? That I can't make you fall for me? You already did 8 years ago'' Max said confidently and Marvel pursed her lips.

''Go and wash up and come for breakfast. I got someone to bring you a change of clothes. It will be here soon'' Max added and Marvel stood up from the chair.

''Is the guestroom still available?'' Marvel asked.

''Why? Do you want to use the guestroom and later on pretend you didn't sleep with me before?'' Max asked nonchalantly and Marvel's face reddened.

''What do you mean by sleep with you? Don't you know that if someone were to hear this, they will misunderstand it for something else? Why are your words always ambiguous?'' Marvel glared at him and went towards the guestroom.

A little while later, Max driver arrived at the quarters with a branded bag with female clothes in them. He entered the quarters and saw Max cooking personally.

''Boss, I brought what you asked for. I just the note to the manager and she handed them to me personally'' the driver said and placed the bag on the table.

''Thank you, Daniel. You can take the day off. I will be driving out myself today'' Max told him.

''Yes, sir, thank you'' the driver whom Max referred to as Daniel responded happily and nodded his head before going out. He almost got to the door when he heard Max's voice and turned.

''I will give you a bonus this month''

''Really? Boss, thank you for your generosity'' Daniel said and bowed before going out. It was nice to have a good boss but it was especially nice to have a good boss who was in love. The bonus wasn't going to be a small one because anytime his boss gave them a bonus, it was a real deal hence he was happy and was going to go home and celebrate with his girlfriend.

Max picked the bag and went into the guestroom. He didn't feel the need to knock because he already saw the woman inside as his woman and didn't feel the need to be formal with her. the moment the door opened he saw Marvel standing in front of the mirror wrapped in a purple bathroom. The water from her wet hair draped on her neck and gave her an alluring look.

Marvel froze the moment she saw him. She blushed and didn't know what to do or say. She just stood there and stared at him as he walked closer to her. Max stood in front of her and looked at her wet hair and frowned. He took the small towel that was in her hands and placed it on her head and started wiping the water as he scolded her.

''You were drenched in rain last night. Don't you know that not cleaning your hair properly can make you get cold?'' his hot breath brushed against Marvel's face and she instinctively stepped back and snatched the towel from him.

''I can do it by myself'' she said to him and move away to the bed shy and awkward. Max chuckled and turned to look at her.

''Your face is really cute when you are shy? Don't worry, I am not in a rush. I will have plenty of opportunities to sleep with you later on. Wear that and come out for breakfast'' Max said and smiled before going out.

Marvel sat on the bed a little flustered as she filtered his words and blushed. She quickly opened the bag and saw a pair of undergarments and flushed. She looked at the bra and suddenly felt hot.
