“But I have no money to give you ” she said again.
“Did I asked you? ” I said with a bit annoyance.
“OK then go and make dinner. You know where the kitchen is. Right? ” she said as she sat down the couch.
“Since I’m your cook today, tell me what do you want to eat today? ” I asked standing next to her.
“You really know how to cook? ” she looked up at me.
“What do you mean? You think that I’m that incapable? ” I asked.
“No no, I mean you are so rich and probably never cooked for yourself. So I was wondering if you know how to cook….” she said trying to smile.
“I have some skills. ” I said as I went into the kitchen.
I opened the fridge and took out some veggies, some meats and then eggs and bread too.
I make some of the foods that was my special and I made it. It was made for special person to eat, I guess.
While I was cooking, she was sitting in the sofa in the living room and she was looking at me time to time as if checking what I was doing.
I did some hardwork and make the food ready after a hour or more. When the food was finally ready to set. I washed my hand and then clean up the kitchen and washed some of the utensils there. When I was washing some of the plates she came into the kitchen.
“Don’t do that. Leave that I’ll do that after the dinner. ” she said trying to snatch away plate from me.
I hold onto the plate tight and glared at her. She looked at me with rabbit eyes and said in a low voice “I was just saying not to wash them. It don’t suit you. ” she said.
I smiled at her and asked her to clean her hand. So she wasged her hand and stand a bit far from me and she keep looking at me.
I washed the food plates and then cleaned then with a soft towel. Then I put the food in their place.
“Go and sit at the table now. I’ll Syerve the food, I’m hungry now. ”
“It’s okay sir, you can have rest now, I can serve you. ” she said.
“No I’m your cook today. So go fast and do as I say. ”
She nodded and went to the table to sit in a chair. I then set up the table. In a while a table full of food was there. I also went there and served in her plate as well put some on mine and then we begin to eat.
As she took the first bite of the food. She was so happy and her eyes seems so filled with happiness. She smiled all the time as she ate. She even filled up her plate once more.
I was so happy to see her enjoying the food. When we both were done, we put down our spoons and smiled at each other.
“What did you make and how did you make it? I’ve never eaten something like this before…” she asked with excitement.
“I made it myself. I don’t have it’s name yet and you are the first one to taste it after me. ” I said with smiling the perfect smile I can.
“Ohh can you teach me how to make it? ” she asked.
“Yes but not now. I’ll teach you someday. ”
She nodded at me.
We become silent for a while. It was so nice, the air was also nice. I never thought that I have this side too. Cooking for someone, Enjoying dinner with someone but then it all felt so good and I can’t even move the smile away from my lips.
I got up and took the plates to the sink. She also cane after me to the kitchen.
“I’m just washing them… I won’t take them away. ” I joked and she laughed at my joke.
“Hahahahhh…. I was here to help you.” she said as she dip her hands in the sink.
Her hands touched with mine and I felt sparks between us. I looked at her and she also looked at me slowly, with a face blushed JK dark pink shade. She blinked her eyes slowly and I can see the strands of her hair dancing with the air.
She was also looking at me and we stay there like that not wanting to break our eye contact with each other.
Ting ding….
The door bell rang and we quickly broke our eye contacts. She washed her hands “I’ll go and check . Maybe it’s Cami. ”
She then went out of the kitchen to the door. I hear the door being opened and then the voice of Camila.
“What is this man doing in our kitchen? ”
“Uhh he’s washing dishes. ” Riley said hesitantly.
“I thought you’d eat and flee away. But seems like you know how to clean your own mess. ” Camila said in a loud voice and then went to the bedroom.
After then Riley came up to me “I’m sorry for what she said. I’m very sure she didn’t men it. Please don’t take to heart. ” she said.
I smiled and keep washing. She picked up the plates and clean them with towels.
Soon everything was done and I haven’t take her words to heart anyway.
“Go to bed now. You need to make me breakfast tomorrow. ” I said to her and she nodded smiling “Of course, it is my job. ”
I went t the door and she followed me till there. “Goodnight ” I wished her goodnight before she closed the door. Duh….
I went to bed and smiled thinking about the perfect dinner time I spend with her. I have never been to dates before. So I don’t know what is it to go on dates but making food for my mate and having dinner with her was the best experience.
I also hadn’t seen this side of me and my life till now. And my mate was giving me a chance to live them. And trust me it really felt good.
I took a deep breathe and then slipped in my blanket. I turned the light off and covered by face with my blanket to sleep.
Riley’s pov
When I entered the office he was in a real bad mood so I don’t talk to him and did as he asked me to do.
Later Liam get me food from the canteen downside. I, Liam and him sat together and had our lunch at office. It was very good until that Bella barged into the office.
Even though she was seeing we were already having food she don’t stop herself from asking him out for lunch. It was ok till then but Mr. Gold Was being so kind to her. He was saying ‘eat on time, empty stomach do no good to your beautiful skin…. Like YOUR BEAUTIFUL SKIN” and the he also said he was sorry for today but he was going to take her to some restaurant of their choice tomorrow at lunch. And to be honest at that point I was feeling a bit jealous but way more sadness. I don’t know why but seeing him taking care of Bella Schultz made me sad.
I remained same for for the whole day, I was in a bad mood. Thankfully it was off office hour soon and I came down the stairs.
When I was in the elevator, the phone rang continuously and I took it out of the bag. It was Anyee who was calling me. I picked it up.
“Hello, Anyee. ”
“Hello, Riley. Where are you? Did you find out where you are working? ” she asked lots questions at a time.
“Anyee, I’m at the elevator. I’m just coming down. Wait for me there. ” I said as I hung up the phone.
When I reached the down to the compound. I begin to look around to find out where Anyee was. After a few minutes I saw her a bit away from me. She seemed to talking to someone on the phone.
I went up to her and patted her shoulder. She slowly turned around and smiled. She pulled me into a big bone crushing hug.
“Slowly Anyee, you’ll kill me. ” I said patting at her shoulder until she loosen her hold.
I took a few long breathes before looking at her. She was so happy and smiling ear to ear. I couldn’t help but smile back at her.
“So ? Tell me what happened? ” she asked.
“Everything is fine… And I got a job here and I guess we’ll see each other every day. ” I smiled at her.
