♥️ “You’re the best thing to have ever happened to me.”

There were times in the year were, yes, there was a lot to do, and no, there wasn’t a single break to go for a cup of tea outside the office. Paperwork had to be done before the Council meeting and preparation had to come together to make the Holiday Ball a success by all means.

But Carmen was going to grow bald from all the papers and typing and planning-

The phone ringed and Carmen could’ve perfectly disintegrated the thing with how strong her glare was.

“Head councilman Amicitia’s office. I’m Carmen. How may I help you?”

“Why, thank you. May I be granted permission to enter the office?”

Wait a moment.

“Ignis?”

“Good evening. I won’t inconvenience you for long. It’s merely a delivery I wish to do.”

Carmen bit into the bottom of the pen and breathed in to tone down the rising blush on his face upon having his voice tickle at her ear.

Searching and pressing the button to unlock the door, the beep and metallic hiss allowed the door to open and there he was. Ignis Scientia in the flesh carrying a box.

Carmen didn’t give him much thought as Ignis locked his phone and slid it into his breast pocket. He was swift in approaching her and kissing her temple before handing her the sleek dark brown box.

“Open it.” He murmured while fixing his glasses, taking a step back.

Carmen easily slid the bow off and opened the top. Her eyes grew like saucers upon the feast in front of her and the aroma was straight out of heaven!

Chocolate truffles!

With a single hand clap, Carmen graced him with the brightness smile that soon got cut by biting the bottom of her lips. She didn’t need been told twice to try one.

The fine texture of the chocolate, the decorative rain of coconut scraps on top, the sound as she sank her teeth on it and the cover cracked to give way to a creamy filling. Hm~!

“You’re the best thing to have ever happened to me~”

Carmen said it with so much conviction and with the most delighted moan that left Ignis thinking.

Is she referring to me or the chocolates?
