"The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories that it has come to be disbelieved in.

Few people dare now to say that two things have fallen in love because they have looked at each other.

Yet it is this way that love begins and in this way only."

ANNIKA'S POV-

I'm freaking sure I have a hickey on my neck now.

Alex is a caveman.

I conclude.

He got a call from someone. Surely about some match tonight.

I glared at him as he got that call. Ignoring me he attended the call.

And I got off the counter and went to the living room. As he talked to someone there.

After his call ended I called him.

"Yeah?" he asked coming over to where I sat on the couch.

"I'm hungry," I whined and he rolled his eyes.

"Unsurprisingly." He said raising one perfectly arched eyebrow at me.

"Feed me, you idiot," I said and saw how a small smirk formed on his face.

"Dirty mind," I said and he laughed with his dimples looking extremely cute as they popped up, even better with his curls falling on his eyes.

And my cheeks came undone instantly showing their true identities.

Tomatoes.

He leaned closer pecking my lips before standing up.

Dragging me with him and both of us got back in the kitchen.

I helped him only a little since he was sure I'd burn the kitchen if I did more.

Dramatic.

Annoyed by the fact that I couldn't help him much I stood next to him.

Well if I cannot help him I'll annoy him. But he seemed to actually enjoy my stupid rant.

As I leaned closer to him just to tease him about something I saw how he tensed for a minute before resuming cutting the veggies.

First of all, ew healthy food.

Second, let's have some fun.

I again leaned closer brushing my arm against his.

He shot me a look and I just smiled innocently.

I grinned as I saw him mutter curses when my hand touched his chest.

I guess he had enough and not gonna lie he is not at all a patient person.

I watched as he washed his hand before looking at me like a predator.

I grinned before turning on my heels and trying to escape.

Emphasis on the word 'trying'.

Cause I really couldn't escape. His hands caught my waist in seconds.

And I felt all giddy when he turned me around.

I threw my head back laughing.

At least I attempted to run.

And now I flushed against him. Before he kissed me again.

Gosh, I swear I'm gonna have a good bunch of hickeys now.

Why did I do that again?

After making sure I won't tease him again like that we ate food.

Just a secret I'm gonna do it again.
