Joel had his sleeves rolled up and a purple apron hanging in front of him as he started to prepare the food. After sending the side dishes and sausages to the microwave, he opened the cup noodles and set a pan on fire with water. His actions were flawless and Mirabel felt he was even more handsome and outstanding.

''Say Joel, why are you so outstanding in everything? You are handsome, successful, you can cook and you also treat me so well'' Mirabel counter her fingers as she spoke.

''All for you darling. All for you'' Joel said and Mirabel chuckled shaking her head.

''You know that was very cheesy, right?'' she said to him and he leaned closer to her face.

''I can be even more cheesier than that when it comes to you'' he said and looked at her lips, ''I must confess those are going to be the death of me''

''What are those?'' Mirabel blushed as his face was now extremely close to her face. She could even feel his hot breath on her face which just made her even more tense and hot. Her body was responding to every single thing he was doing and she didn't hate it at all.

''Those lips of yours. I don't think I will ever get enough of them. Looking at them just makes me want to keep licking them'', he said and stick his tongue out, really licking her lips. Mirabel moaned and he chuckled and whispered into her ears, ''don't moan like that. It gives me wild thoughts'' he left her and went to empty the noodles into the boiling water.

Mirabel pursed her lips and touched her racing heart. Her mind was messed up as she began to imagine the kind of wild thoughts he might be having about her. She looked at his butt and chuckled as a silly thought crossed her mind.

''What are you smiling about? Don't tell me you are thinking of something bad?''

''Nothing'' she said in a calm voice and looked at him, but Joel could sense the change in her.

''Mirabel, have I succeeded in turning you into a bad girl?'' he asked and turned to face her.

''Huh? What do you mean?'' she blushed looking at him.

''Nothing'' he said and turned to open the microwave and brought out the side dishes and sausages. The noodles were also done, so he served them in two small round soup bowls. He sent them to the floor in the hall and turned the TV on before returning to her side. He removed the apron and turned to her, ''come and wash your hands, food is ready my love''

Mirabel went to wash her hands and returned to the hall where Joel was already seated and joined him.

''Noodles taste a lot better when you are eating them while sitting on the floor'' he said to her.

''How did you come up with such a deduction? Never heard of it before''

''Someone taught me that in college''

''Girlfriend?''

''Not really but she was the first girl I slept with''

''Huh?''

''I thought I should tell you about it''

''But, weren't you in love with Paige before?''

''That's true, but I haven't told you the entire story yet. We were having a school end of year department celebration and I got drunk. She slept with me and asked me to forget about it. I only realised what happened after the following day and when I confronted her, she said she had always wanted to sleep with me but it didn't mean that she loved me. She was just attracted to me sexually''

''That damn woman. She slept with you and then told you to forget it happened? I thought men usually did this kind of stuff?''

''Women can be more heartless than men, you know. But, that is all in the past now. I haven't seen her in the last 12 years since then and I never drink when I am outside my house. I guess I was keeping myself for you''

Mirabel coughed after hearing that. she glared at him, ''you are so shameless'' she turned and started eating her noodles.

''I can be more shameless than this when it comes to you, because you are the woman I love'' he whispered into her ears before going back to eating her food. They ate their food in silence with casual lighter talks until they were done.

''I am washing the bowls. You did the cooking, I will do the dishwashing'' Mirabel said and stood up. She picked up the bowls and went to the kitchen.

''Then, let me help you''

''No, I didn't help you when you were cooking. I don't need your help''

''But, I don't want you to get tired''

''I want to also do something, Joel''

''Then, you can just reward me with a kiss after I am done doing all the work. That would immediately take my tiredness away''

''You are always taking advantage of me, shamelessly. Alright, I will give you a kiss. Have you even heard a wine kiss before?'' Mirabel turned to ask him.

''Wine kiss?'' Joel looked puzzled.

''En, my classmates talked about it. They said it is from a scene in the drama 'descendants of the sun', where the couple had a wine kiss but I didn't watch it''

''Let's watch and practice together then'' Joel looked energetic at once.

''But, those couple got married and divorced afterwards'' she said with a frown.

''Then, let's not do it. I don't want to end up breaking up with you. We can try something else''

''En, okay'' they moved to the kitchen and Joel started washing the bowls, ''then I will rinse the bowls. That way we will finish early. It's getting late. I should go home''

''Let's spend the night together… here. I just want to hold you and sleep'' Joel said and looked at her with a serious expression.

Mirabel blushed and clutched unto the bowl in her hand tightly while looking back at him.

Outside the glass windows, it started pouring.

''It's raining outside'' Mirabel said softly and he turned to look outside.

''You are right. It's really raining. Let's hurry up, I will send you home after we are done with the dishes'' Joel said to her.

''Huh? Didn't you say we should spend the night together?''

''I did but I don't want to scare you. You are still not sure yet, let's take it slowly''

''I won't go home tonight. You are not the only one who wants to spend a night together. I also want to and you are not scaring me. We are different from every couple. Whether we take things slowly or not, that is up to us. We don't have to be like everyone else and we don't have to just hold hands and sleep. We can do other things and be a normal couple''

''Are you sure?'' Joel's Adam apple moved up and down as he looked at her.

''Yes, I am sure. Also, let's have a glass of wine after this. We won't break up''

''Yes, we should just do things our own way'' Joel said and they both laughed.

''I suddenly feel that we are both novice navigating our way through love''

''But, it is a beautiful experience. I am glad you are the woman I am with right this moment''

''I am glad you are the man I am with, Joel''

...

Joel walked out of another room with a bottle of wine and two glasses. He sat on the floor closer to Mirabel and placed the things in his hands down.

''You seem to love wine a lot'' Mirabel said to him and looked at the bottle of wine, ''this is an expensive wine. It's the same as the one you gave to my parents, right?''

''Yes, I have a strange liking to wine. I collect them like art''

''Who do you like more. Me or the wine?''

''I didn't know you could be so petty. What answer do you want me to give you? It's like asking a man what he likes more; a woman or football. But, I never thought I would get asked this question''

''I am this petty, now answer me. Who do you like more; me or the wine?'' he raised a brow at him daringly.

''Whoa!!!'' Joel like he was at a crossroad. He looked at the wine first.

''I guess you like the wine more'' Mirabel said and suddenly felt a weight over her. Joel had pushed her on the floor and was now on top of her.

''I like wine, but I love you more than wine, and more than myself'' he said and started kissing her. She blushed before wrapping her arms around his neck, responding to his kisses.

Joel lifted her up and sat her on the large sofa cum bed in the hall and started trailing kisses on her. He kissed her face while his hands started pulling the material belt around her white blouse. He untied the robes apart and looked at her, kissing her on the lips again. They had forgotten of the wine completely.

Joel looked at her luscious bosom that were seen halfway through the blouse. Her laying on her back even gave him a nice view as her bra was able to hold only a small part of her breast. He kissed her forehead, then her eyes, down to her nose to her lips before going down to her breast. He kissed her and she blushed and she curled her toes in the process.
