Alter Ego: His Sultry Lover

Chapter 127 - Very Domesticated

"Let's go out for fancy dinners sometime." He said it so sweetly that she wanted to faint. He sat up. "I wish I could take you right now but the media..." he trailed off.

"Cage. You are a public figure and its too early to come out to the press. Let's just enjoy ourselves before we decide on stepping out into the madness." And both of them knew that such a day would come. They were in it for the long haul and coming out to the world and hoping they would embrace this unconventional relationship was their longterm plan. "Also, I want you to myself. I'll share you with the world eventually. But not now."

"We can hole up in your apartment and I'll be blissful." He smiled sadly. "I need to talk to my PR team on return and inform them about our relationship. They will monitor everything and ensure your name doesn't come out at any cost. I'll do everything in my power to protect you from my world."

"I feel protected and loved with you. You don't need to explain." She saw him grimace. "What is it?"

"I also want to tell the whole world that you are mine." Her eyes widened. He wanted that? She had thought that he would be reluctant to bring her out in front of the world before they were absolutely sure that they would be spending their life together, but he actually wanted everyone to know. "Don't look so surprised. You're my girl." His laugh was smooth and filled her heart with warmth. His girl… she could barely believe it.

"It feels so surreal," she admitted. He was Cage Cavanaugh, the man that every woman in the world wanted. The very idea was blasphemous!

"I am a complete nerd who just happens to be famous," he began. "it doesn't define me in the slightest. It affects my choice, sure. But I met you and fell in love with your despite that. It can be considered a taboo to meet someone online if you are famous. It just leads to complications. And I have no regret about it." He added quickly.

She laced her fingers with his. "I know. I just wonder what your PR people and the press will say." They remained silent for a few moments.

"I'll take care of that." They would just enjoy their time together until the day came and he would take precautions to ensure no one came beating on her door or harm her.

"Okay, I am going to break the tension. I need to pee." He laughed and shooed her away. She could hear his laugh as she scurried into the bathroom. She went through her morning routine and looked at herself in the mirror to check if she looked any different.

No, it seemed that Cage liked her in her usual messy and average self. How fascinating. She bent over to the cabinet under the sink and pulled out a new brush for Cage to use.?She placed the towel on the counter and left the bathroom. When she came out, she found him smiling at the phone.

"I left an extra toothbrush and a towel for you to use. When is Stephen coming over?" He looked up at her.

"Soon. He's bringing breakfast with him for all of us, so don't worry about cooking anything."

"That's very sweet of him." Thank god she didn't have to cook.

"Coupled with the fact that I was the one who asked him to bring breakfast, shouldn't I be the one who is sweet?" He blinked innocently.

She shook her head as she headed over to the kitchen to get the coffee. She found some fruit on the table and cut it into pieces for him to have until Stephen came with breakfast. His stomach needed to be filled a little for the monster living in it to calm down.

"Apples?" he asked. "You're seriously feeding into my teacher fantasy," he teased.

"What is the connection between the two apart from the stereotype of the teacher having an apple on the table at all times?" she scoffed.

"It's a stretch, but I will take it as long as I can make an innuendo on the go." She rolled her eyes.

"What a tease," she murmured.

"Stephen asked what kind of sandwhiches Lily and Angelina like. He's buying a lot of food from what I can gauge." She told him their preference for fillings and sauce and Cage merrily typed away at his phone, doc.u.menting the words.

Very domesticated.

He then looked at the plate of fruit and just placed it on the side table. "I'll go brush my teeth now." As he moved past her, he tapped on her ass and she called out his name. He shot out a smirk over his shoulder and made hisway inside the bathroom door.

"Didn't you call me a pervert this morning? Just living up to the title, baby." He winked.

"I'll get you back for that later!" He laughed and shut the door.

Katherine fanned herself. 'Phew.'

She changed and decided to make her bed as she waited for him to come back. He saw her tidying up when he entered.

"I'll help with that," he said immediately. She turned to him with a smile, happy that he was comfortable enough to say the same.

"Don't worry. I am messy most of the time. I am just making it because I want to show you otherwise." He leaned in and kissed her on the cheek.

"There is no need for you to do that. I'd like you even if you were messy." A naughty thought passed her mind.

"Well, I was just making the bed because I wanted to roll in the sheets and mess them up with you later on." She sat down, spreading her hand on either side of her and crossing her feet. Cage looked absolutely stunned, albeit a little turned on.

Cage was about to take a step forward when the doorbell rang.
