The Beautiful and the Damned
Not yet my queen

SO apparently I did manage to last to the end of the training by some weird ass luck. Sadly I didn't land any hit on Seker, but for some reason he commended me saying I was actually a decent fighter. Which I was quite proud of, I mean it

wasn't everyday you get a compliment from the Angel of death himself.

I was presently breathing out of proportion, every inch of my body felt like it was on fire. I didn't land a single hit on Seker but he definitely didn't reciprocate my actions. I'm positively sure I had bruises on some areas of my body, the man wasn't even aware of his own strength.

And just before Cyrus and the others left to God knows where they informed me that Seker wasn't even using one-fourth of his total strength to fight me. That piece of information frightened me, I mean just how powerful was he? "Phew thank God that's over" I said dramatically sitting on the floor with a sigh.

Seker only looked at me with an amused smile. "We aren't done Amica mea" I let out an unladylike snort.

"Uhh yes we are" I countered.

He chuckled lightly and smirked. "Not just yet my queen" I gave him a beaming smile stood and did as if I was going to walk towards him and in the last minute I bolted to the opposite direction.

I heard a heartfelt laugh coming from behind me. Well glad he finds this entertaining. As for me I'm outta here.

"Do you really think you can run away from me mi amor?" God this man and pet names, till date I didn't still know the meaning of that one particular name he always refers to me with 'AMICA MEA'. And yes I was too lazy to goggle it, that's if it even crossed my mind in the first place. No I'm not dumb, I'm just uniquely lazy.

I blushed slightly but still kept on sprinting.

"Alright let's make a deal Amica mea" hearing he's words I became Intrigued and stopped. Turning back to look at him I spotted a victory smirk on his face. "What deal?" I asked.

He started making his way to me..why does this feel soo much like deja vu?... when he finally reached me he spoke.

"I will tell the chef to cook your favorite food for you" so it was a chef that's been cooking all our meals?, Well makes sense because I haven't seen Cyrus or Randuff step a foot in the kitchen, and anytime I saw a plate of food served before me I always wondered how it came about. Well this answers it.

He continued "If and only if you stay for the rest of our training" he gave a devilish heartbreaking grin. Damn this man and his good looks.

After pondering over his proposal I started responding but cut myself just in time, because I came up with a better idea.

"Ok dea...wait on a second thought let's twist this deal a little" I could feel a smirk forming on my lips.

"What are you up to Amica mea" a smile playing on his own lips.

"Scared are we?" I asked smugly playing along with him. He chuckled lightly in response.

"Never. The only thing I'm scared of is.. Nothing" his deep velvety voice suddenly became much more deeper and sounded sultry to the ear. A shiver abruptly came upon me.

"Oh really" I said back trying the best I could to match his voice tone. From the way his eyes suddenly darkened I would say it was a success.

"Is that a yes?" I asked already knowing what his answer was going to be.

"Yes it is, I never back down from a challenge Bethel, you should know that by now" I didn't know when he lowered his head to my height our breath almost mixing together.

Keep yourself in check Bethel, keep your bloody self in check.

"Okay the twist is that instead of the chef, I want 'you' to cook my favorite food for me" I loved the small playful banter we were currently having. The idea of Seker being the one to cook for me making me all sorts of happy.

He withdrew his head from my level and stood to his full overly tall height. He then used his hand to touch his chin giving an impression that he was contemplating over my proposal. Is it a bad thing that I wish my lips were in the place of his hand that was rubbing his chin?

After a short time of contemplation he finally gave his answer.

"Deal" he brought he hands out for a handshake. I also did the same and we shook hands to seal the deal, the sparks originating from our touch blazing through me. And I have to say, I really missed those Sparks.

(Time skip..)

I looked at Seker mesmerized as he worked elegantly and efficiently in the kitchen. He looked like a world class chef.

He was making my favorite dish, stir fry, which I was going to eat with white rice. The kitchen smelt like absolute heaven I was already drooling I couldn't wait to taste the food.

We finished our training 30 minutes ago, my body was bloody soar all over. But Seker looked like he didn't even break a sweat through out our training. Lucky bastard.

After showering and freshening up, I was greeted with the sight of the man who was apparently my soulmate cooking when I entered the kitchen.

"Andddd done" Seker's voice brought me back to reality as he placed the served food in front of me. I didn't even waste time to dig in. With a quick thank you to the suspiciously smirking Angel I began to eat. I paused eating as I swallowed the first spoon.

"How does it taste mi amor?" I really should have paid more attention to his smirking face.

I spat out the little remaining content that was left in my mouth "What the actual fuck did I just eat?" I asked going for the glass of water in front me.

"Food" the smart ass of an Angel replied with a beaming smile. I gave him the meanest glare I could muster.

"Thank you captain obvious" he couldn't hold it in anymore and he bursted out laughing pointing at my face.

"Y-yo-you should have seen your face when you took the first bite" he said doubling over laughing his heart out. I couldn't help but smile. His laugh was unusually contagious. And the sight of him laughing so carefree did things to my heart. The man was definitely not good for my heart.

"But seriously though how can a food that smells soo good and looks soo damn good taste soo fuckin bad" I asked honestly curious. I wasn't expecting it to taste that disgusting. I think it killed most of my taste buds, that's how horrible it tasted.
