Never had I thought this will end like this. Wait, I don't like the sound of that. This is no end, this is just the beginning. I will never let something like this slip through my fingers. Even if that means that I have to sometimes use my face as a punching bag. Yeah right. Damn. How can a small woman with tiny arms punch so hard?

Holding the ice pack on my face, I turned my body so I can find where she is. I dared not to look at her this past 20 minutes. Partly because I was busy looking for an ice pack and mending my bruised cheeks, but mostly because she probably will give me another punch if she sees me looking at her.

She was really fuming earlier. Does she not like me that much? Well I got to mend that as soon as possible then. Even now I can see how my wooing skills will be tested. This one is a real feisty. I can only imagine if she's gonna be like this in bed. Damn, sexy as fuck. Imagining her in my bed, with her fiery hair spread out on my mattress makes me real hard.

"I'm hungry." I heard Maddie said from behind me, interrupting me from my rather hot thoughts.

I took a deep breath before facing her, praying that she won't look below my belt or I'll probably need another ice pack on my other cheek. Worst, she'll kick me there. No, I won't risk that. I sat and put my legs up to my chest to protect my precious.

I looked back at her when I'm pretty protected. I'm pretty surprised that she first talk to me. I was used to trying to make a conversation first after I fought with a girl.

"What do you want to eat?" I asked her once I saw her.

She looked really hungry, with her lips pouting and her hand holding her stomach. Damn. I hate to think like this, but I hate to see her looking so hungry.

"I can order something if you like?" I suggested.

I can't really start cooking now, unless I was to start burning my kitchen.

"Delivery?" Her eyes light up as she asked me. Wow. I nooded.

"Can I choose what to get?" She asked, looking hopeful. Never on earth can I say no to that look.

"Yes, Red. You can choose. What do you want to get?"

"Chicken. Fried chicken of McDonald's with spaghetti and pineapple juice. Two pieces of chicken. Oh and apple pie. Please." She replied.

"McDonald's?" She wants McDonald's? I never dated anyone who eats in that fast food. Or in any other fast food for that matter. Personally, I don't recommend it too. It's very unhealthy and very oily. I don't like oily foods.

"Yes. If that's OK?" She raised her eyebrows on me in question. Her eyes are wide like they are pleading. I don't like the fact that she's eating fast food. But like I said earlier, how can I say no to this face?

"Sure, babe. Anything else?"

"Extra gravy please." She said happily as she took a seat on the dinning table. Is this the same girl who was very much fuming earlier? She does change her mood fast.

"Alright, wait here." I said and headed to my bedroom to get my phone.

I saw it on my bed so I sat on the mattress before I hit my search engine to look for McDonald's Delivery. It took me two minutes to find the number. That's because there's a lot of number that came up when I typed McDonald's Delivery.

"Uhm. I'll just ask something. You are buying me dinner, right?" I heard Maddie say. I looked up to find her a few meters away from me. Her eyes are a little wide, asking me the question. I never met a person who have a pair of very expressive eyes like hers.

"Of course, why would I let my girl pay?" I playfully replied. I know that she still hasn't recovered from the fact that she's mine now. Legally. Ha! That sounded like we are already married. That idea seems good though.

Damn. What am I thinking, wanting to marry her already?

Maddie's eyes darkened with anger. "That contract is illegal. You can't bind me with it." She replied. I smirked at her.

"It is legal and binding, love. We are both at age to consent on it. It's not contrary to any law. I am not compelling you, though. You can always get out of the contract. Provided that you'll pay me the money, of course." I replied. No way in hell will I let you go yet, Red.

"Plus I'm compensating you enough." I added.

"If it's not for the money, I won't be here in the first place! I'll get an interview for the media and announce how you made up that story like a psycho. Where is my wallet anyway?" She snapped at me.

I tried to control my temper. Every word she uttered was right. She could had gone to the media and told them the truth. I was lucky I got her with me first. I don't think she would do that though. She's not the kind of person who will try to gain from someone else's misery. Right. Here I am again, thinking like I know her despite the fact that we just met a few hours ago.

"Right. Aren't you hungry? I am going to order your food now." I told her, wishing that I diverted her from asking where her wallet is.

"Yes. I am." She told me. "Please." She added. "And if it's OK, I need to borrow your computer so I can log in and do some work?"

"Sure babe." I told her as I retrieved my laptop from the drawer and handed it to her.

"By the way, my password is 'wildasses'." I saw her eyes widen and her cheeks burn.

"Alright." She said as she hurriedly walked to the living room.
