Chapter 167 - Cuteness everywhere (1/2)

That night, Lena could not fall asleep at all. Her mind kept wandering all over the place. When she talked to her therapist, Lena told her that she knew what love is. Lena originally thought that her response to Kris was more of a sexual desire rather than love.

But she realized that she must have liked him before to even considered a sexual fantasy with him. The hard part is not confessing, but making sure your confession would be a success. How in the world, will she make Kris like her?!

If she needed to teach him how to hug, cry, and cook... then does she need to teach him how to love too?

Lena screamed into her pillow. 'It's fine Lena... you spent years chasing your first love, you can chase another man... Just not too long this time.'

Lena turned sideways and looked out the window. Kris would definitely be a harder man to chase. He has very little experience with women. He has many moments of up and down.

And if Lena even wanted to chase him, now was not a good time to add more emotional turmoil for him. Both of them have to take care of their revenge. Kris was going through his own demons. His emotional wellbeing was experiencing too much at the moment to deal with a girl chasing him.

Lena yawned and closed her eyes. It's alright, she just needed to show him how to love slowly.

Lena got two more hours of sleep before her alarmed woke her woke. She put an early alarm so she could go to the store to pick up the ingredients. Lena knew that she had to get lots of them because they were sure to make a lot of fail cakes.

It took her longer than she had estimated to got to the store and get the items. It was 9 a.m by the time she got back to the apartment. She realized then that Kris probably did not have proper baking utensils. She parked her car and called him.

The phone picked up but there was no immediate response. Lena could hear some slight noises so she knew Kris was there.

”Good Morning!” Lena spoke.

Kris opened his eyes. He had just woken up from the call and did not register anything. But a sweet good morning definitely was all he needed to be wide awake. He cleared his throat and spoke softly.

”Hi.” He did not want to sound like he just woke up. Kris did not know why, but he knocked out completely last night. He was usually a light sleeper.

”...” Lena could tell that his voice sounded grumpy. ”Did you just wake up?”

”No!” Kris raised his voice but it cracked halfway through. ”...Yeah...”

”Be ready in 30. Change of plans. We will meet at my place instead.”

”...” Kris was thinking about how lovely that sound. If they were dating, would he hear that more often? Meeting her at her place.. that brought angels to his heart.

”Kris? You do remember that we are baking a cake right? And you were going to buy the tickets?”

”Yeah, I am up. See you in 30.”

Lena hung up the call and got out of the car. She went to grab a cart to put her items in it. The cart was like hotel carts for residents to use so they can easily carry bigger items between the floors.

After the call ended, Kris quickly got up to ready himself. Although he already took a shower yesterday night, he took another one this morning. He had to smell fresh.

He brushed his teeth and made sure his hair was top notch. He wore a navy blue fashion collared shirt and a cotton-linen casual pant. Kris picked up his phone and made a call.

”Hello?”
