Chapter 14
The Cook ✅
Whether you're dream or reality ,or anything in between..just be with me in 2021..,My loveâ¤
Flora's Pov
"Wake uppp" But I ignored then I felt something drop on me "Ew gross"
Then I finally opened my eyes to see aria straddling my neck with her cute mouth open
Ohhh
So she was the one but wait she can't talk..she only says blah blah
Baba
Booboo
And other words I don't understand so how did she talk just now
Then I turn around to see dana sitting next to me and giving me her sheepish grin
But when I looked outside it was still dark...why did she wake me up
"Flo it is already 11:30...we are entering into 2021 soon so I came to wake you up"
"Ok but why" "Because daddy is already awake and he is outside...he brought fire crackers and I don't want you to be asleep when the year rolls so" and she shrugged
"Okay " "I will give you just five minutes to freshen up" and she sat up and folded her arms looking at me
"Ok ok " and I went into the bathroom...brushed my teeth again but I was still wearing my pj
Then I quickly went outside "Let's go" and we went downstairs to the backyard
Well guess what...this is my first time coming here and my first time knowing that this house has a backyard
It was beautiful...it had flowers and a bench...maybe to relax or so
Then I saw a large wooden table "you're awake " "yes...she woke me up "
I saw Mr Nicholeson was also wearing his pj...he still looked hot
But when he looked at me his eyes were red and I saw sadness and pain in them
And some amount of grief....what is wrong with him ??
He looked at her and shook his head "you're sly" and she gave him a sly smile
He was preparing the fire crackers on the table...there were so many
So many
And this brought back the memories of my parents back...years back we also had a small and simple backyard with a small round tiny table
Where we will do our fire crackers for new years...it was so Beautiful
I was genuinely happy
"Rose" somebody called me "Rose" then I was out of my dreamland
"Huh" "I mean sir" "are you okay " "Yes sir " and he just nod
"We have about ten more minutes into the new year " and I nod with excitement
I was just staring around whiles aria was having a chitchat with her daddy
I was holding aria by the way....."So close to new year " "So close" I murmured
"5....4....3....2....1" and the fire crackers blew up "Happy new year " all three of us shouted
The fire works was so beautiful...everything was beautiful...woow
Mum and dad... I miss you
And then i got emotional...I wanted to cry....tears was at the edge of rolling down
"Are you okay " and I looked at Mr Nicholeson "yes sir " and I looked away
Then he touched my Chin forcing me to look at him "then why are you crying "
"I'm not....it's nothing sir " and what happened next left me shocked
I held my hand and drew me closer to him before he hugged me
I needed that
"I know your not okay and she misses you also...it is okay rose...let it go...she loves you and she is proud of you...let it go and live life to the fullest that is what she wants...just know that she loves you "
And by this time I was crying "I miss her so so much " I know...this is new year...so start afresh and leave all the bad memories behind...let it go rose "
And I sobbed "Thank you sir " after some time he stepped back "you needed that...Happy new year rose"
"Happy new year sir" and I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes
"And Tha-nk you sir" and he smiled before all of us went inside
"See you in the morning sir " all three of them were watching TV and I just wanted to have some alone time to figure my shit out
"Okay" And I looked at aria "she will watch TV with us...you can go"
"Okay " And I went upstairs to my room..no no it came out wrong...to his room
Noo
And I facepalmed my self....Argg
Anyways I sat down and then all what Mr Nicholeson told me came back into my mind
Yes...I need to forget about the past and everything....absolutely everything
Keep holding back is not going to get me anywhere so I just gotta let it go
Not in a thousand years did I think that Mr Nicholeson is going to hug me
I can't deny the sparks, the sparks it gave me but some thing is wrong with him
Something...i can feel it,..he is grieving or mourning over something or someone??
Anyways that is not my concern and then i yawned before falling asleep with my heart free from everything and every bad memory â~â
â~â
The sun shone brightly through the curtains and I slowly opened my eyes
I then went into the bathroom...i showered and went downstairs to meet Mr Nicholeson relaxing on the couch with his eyes closed
I also saw his laptop on the glass table..it was still on
Wait...he didn't sleep.,.is this man a workaholic or what
I then went into the kitchen and prepared breakfast and by the time I was done making breakfast
He was in the dining table working again "Sir your coffee " and he looked at me
He has bags under his eyes and he looked tired and ....sad?
"Sir today is a holiday and you still work " "I work for my daughter not for your stupid self...can't you just see something and shut the fuck up...don't ever interfere in my work because I don't listen to commoners like you and next time mind your damn fucking business "
And he slammed the table making the coffee fall down and breaking into Pieces And he went upstairs
A commoner
Mind my business
Shut the fuck up
Ohh well....and I felt tears flowing down my eyes and I roughly wiped them
"No flora...you can't cry about this...be strong for aria" I said to myself but it still hurts
So I cried it out before I went upstairs to wake and bath those two and so I did
I bath them and went downstairs for breakfast "Danny go tell daddy breakfast is ready okay "
"Okay" And she went to him...I was somehow scared and I was too hurt to look him in the eyes
Then after sometime she came down "he said he is not hungry..we can eat"
And I signed and felt bad but all I wanted was to help
Anyways they ate but I didn't...â~â
I also made lunch but he didn't eat and the same goes for dinner and it was now time for me to leave
But I was pressed and I wanted to pee so I went upstairs to the restroom
But as I was going I mistakenly slipped and as I wanted to fall down i felt a strong arm around me
Then mistakenly our lips mistakenly touched a little bit because of the amount of pressure he used to hold me
Key word,..touched a little bit
Even that little contact between us...I felt sparks and tingles in my tummy
Then I looked in his green eyes to meet grief...sadness and pain
I saw something I have never seen before. ..something deep..
There is something in his eyes...something sacred....something deep
Something hidden deep in his soul
Then he made me stand still "Can't you see or something " He snapped
"I'm sorry sir " "Next time watch where your going to...I am not your bodyguard or saviour "
"Sorry sir" then he walked out "sir " and he turned around "im going now"
"Just go" and he walked out
I'm still sad and hurt by the way he behaved today....
Then I went downstairs..bid my goodbyes and went home with aria
We did our same routine and went to sleep....but my heart was not here with me for some reason
Then after some time of deep thinking...I feel asleep â~â
