Aurora did not open the door immediately, she decided to use the peephole to see who it was, for security purposes. She was a single woman alone with her child, she cannot be too cautious.

Dimitri was standing outside her door with his hands in his pocket. "What is he doing here?" she thought as she tried to look at herself in the mirror, making sure her hair was okay, and she had nothing in between her teeth. She felt nervous having him in her house and debated on whether she should let him in.

She was taking too much time, and he banged on her door, "Aurora, open the door, it's me."

He was creating too much noise, and her neighbors were too close, so she had no choice but to let him in.

He sauntered into her house like it was his own. Her house was on the small side, and with his big frame, he filled it out like it was a playhouse. With his commanding presence and his chiseled good looks, she could not tear her eyes away from him. He smiled, it looks like his charms were working on her after all.

"Why have you come at this hour? Did you need anything?" she questioned.

"Didn't I tell you earlier I was coming?" he responded casually like she was asking him something silly.

Aurora remembered him telling her to wait for him tonight, but she just shrugged that off. She did not pay attention earlier because of all the things she had to take in. But it seems like there was nowhere to hide. He had her phone number, address, and anything else that was of importance.

"Why is he so eager to incorporate his life into ours anyway?" so many questions, and she was thinking to herself when she felt a pull on her wrist. He had called her attention twice already, and when she hadn't responded he had to take action.

He pulled her closer to him until they were face to face, and toe to toe against each other. She was so irresistible, and he couldn't help tease her every chance he got.

"What do you think you're doing?" she asked, flustered.

"You tell me, what do you think I'm doing?" he whispered near her ear as he tried to sniff her scent again. His nose close to her ear.

She held her breath, trying to watch what he was doing without moving, scared that if she makes the wrong move, she will be in his arms, doing things she probably shouldn't be doing when her son was in the other room, and he could walk in on them any minute.

"I'm hungry," he said as he touched her lower lip with his thumb, her eyes dilated, and she gasped, "feed me."

She released the breath she was holding. "Whew!" she thought, "I thought he was going to suggest something else."

Still holding his gaze, she asked, "Did you not eat before you came here?" she tried to swat his hand away.

"No. I was eager to get here," Dimitri answered as he moved his hand to her shoulder. He had just come from a dinner meeting, but because he wanted to end it right away, he did not eat anything. Seeing her was more important than his dinner.

"Aurora?" he asked as he rubbed his forehead, he could feel a headache coming if he didn't eat soon.

She wasn't going to say yes, but he looked very tired, and when he rubbed his forehead, she felt bad for him. After feeding her breakfast this morning, all she could do was return the favor, "Okay fine, I'll make you dinner, it'll take a while though."

"Good. I can wait," he said as he smiled at her. She turned on the tv and told him to sit in the living room while she cooked.

She was making him egg drop soup, some vegetable fried rice, and some stir-fried cabbage. That was all she could offer him seeing the meager offerings from her fridge. She was glad that he had left her alone, she needed space from him, but then she spoke too soon because after a few minutes he stood in the corner to watch what she was doing.

It was a small kitchen, and even though he was standing far from her she felt crowded. His piercing gaze was raising the temperature, and she felt overheated.

He was a very picky eater, having food made by the best chefs ruined your palate for anything else, but because these were made by Aurora's hands he was going to try to enjoy them. He was surprised though that a simple meal could taste so good.

She was fidgeting beside the stove when she asked him to sit down and eat. This food probably won't be good enough for him, she thought. She kept worrying, as she paced slowly in her kitchen.

"I know this may not be what…" she said nervously.

"What are you talking about? It was delicious, I finished all of it," he said showing her all the empty plates.

"Your hands are magic," he said as he reached for her hand and planted a kiss on it, "Thank you for dinner."

Dimitri was such a charmer, and she was blushing yet again. He smiled. Another point in his book, he thought.

"Where is Lorenzo?" Dimitri asked. He had forgotten all about his son and was wondering where he was. He was so intent on charming Aurora he totally forgot about him.

"He's already asleep in his room. Do you want to see him?" she asked.

"No, just let him sleep. I will come back tomorrow," he replied as he got up. He was on his way to another meeting. He had taken this small reprieve he had in between the meetings to see her. He still couldn't believe his luck that he finally found her so he was not going to skip a chance to see her.

She walked with him to the door. "Good night!" she said.

"Thank you for the wonderful dinner," he said, as he grabbed her hand in his, "I will see you tomorrow."

"Be careful, don't open the door without checking," he said as he kissed her knuckles. Aurora nodded.

He went through the neighborhood earlier and took note of the overall safety of the neighborhood. The streets were not properly lit, and some of the roads were not marked, but he understood why she chose to live there.

But now that he was here to take care of them, he decided that they should be surrounded by all his riches.
