"I'm starving," Maria said as she pulled her hand away, breaking the tension that had built between them.
Sidney nodded, his voice calm. "I've already made breakfast. Wash up, and it'll be ready."
"Alright," she responded, tossing the covers aside and sliding out of bed.
Her pale skin was adorned with faint traces of last night-bruises from his grip, tender marks where his lips had
lingered. The sight told the story of their passion, but Maria didn't seem to mind. She moved with ease,
disappearing into the bathroom without a second thought.
Sidney's eyes followed her every movement, heat rising again in his chest. He clenched his jaw, forcing himself
to stay composed as the door shut behind her.
Moments later, her voice called out, "Can you graba dress?"
Sidney let out a breath, heading to her walk-in closet. As he stood in front of the endless rows of clothes, he
paused. There were so many choices-elegant dresses, casual outfits.
For a brief moment, he was lost in indecision.
Finally, he chose a simple, comfortable-looking dress that he thought she'd like wearing around the house. He
approached the bathroom door, giving it a soft knock before the door opened just enough for her hand to slip

He handed her the dress, and she pulled it inside.
A second later, he heard a small chuckle.
"What's wrong? Did | grab the wrong one?" Sidney asked, his brow furrowed slightly.
Maria's voice drifted out, light and teasing, "No, it's fine."
Sidney shrugged off the moment and headed back toward the kitchen, unaware of the amused smile on her face
behind the door.
After about thirty minutes, Maria emerged from the bedroom, wearing the dress Sidney had picked out for her.
As she stepped into the room, the silky fabric of the dress shimmered subtly with her movements, the delicate
straps resting on her shoulders, accentuating her smooth, graceful figure.
Sidney, hearing her approach, glanced up and froze for a moment. The way the dress moved with her, catching
the light, left him momentarily speechless.
Maria waved a hand in front of his face, breaking his trance. "What are you staring at?"
He blinked, snapping out of it. "Nothing... just-nothing."
"Let's eat," she said, sitting down as he pulled out a chair for her.

sudden awkwardness amusing. He wasn't usually like this-so...

After they ate, Sidney cleared the table and tidied up the kitchen. He returned to her side, his eyes lingering on
her as she scrolled through her phone, replying to a few messages. en
The air felt heavier with each passing second, tension building between them.
Sidney, visibly restless, finally spoke up. "Maria... about what you said last night... did you mean it?"
Maria glanced up from her phone, blinking as if confused. "What did | say last night?"
Sidney's heart sank instantly, his expression faltering.

Maria was taken aback by the intensity of his reaction.
She hadn't expected him to take it this seriously.
"Hey, are you about to cry or something?" she teased lightly, her eyes narrowing playfully.
