Chapter 19
The Cook ✅
The problem with love is there's always too much little,or too much..what I've come to learn is you should always be with someone you can't live without,not someone you just want to live with and that's you << 3
Flora's Pov
Today I woke up happy and energetic...how can I not be...my best friend and I made up Saturday
Are you sure you're only happy because of Andrew
Yes I'm
Mhhhm we will leave it like that
It is already Monday and that means Sunday has passed...on sunday aria and I just stayed home cozy
She has already learned some few words and I'm so happy..yesterday Andrew called and we facetimed...he is so funny
Anyways I woke up and went straight to the kitchen to make breakfast
For all three of us because I know that Andrew will be here soon and I prepared breakfast
I bath aria and dressed her and I was about to fed her before the door opened to see Andrew
"Can't you knock" "well good morning to you too my dear best friend " and I just shook my head
"Have you prepared food" "yes" "yes" and I just laughed...we all ate breakfast before I bath and we went to the villa
Whiles we were going...we talked a lott And laughed before we Finally reached and I came out and went in to the villa with aria
Well we reached there early so I don't expect the place to be bright now
The place inside was dark so I found my way with aria to the kitchen
I prepared breakfast and I was now making his coffee and..."Good morning " I heard a deep husky voice
And I turned around to see Mr Nicholeson already dressed for work
"Good morning sir " "Hi" we heard a little cute voice and it was Aria's
And i smiled then Mr Nicholeson went to her And smiled "hi" "hi" "How are you"
"Fene" she said cutely and both of us laughed before she also followed like she knew what we were laughing about
While I was laughing I caught Mr Nicholeson staring at me and we maintained eye contact before he diverted his eyes
And I felt disappointed somehow... I don't know why though
"My coffee" "look at it sir" "should you give it to me or should you put it on the dining table "
What is the change in mood now
"So-rry sir" and I quickly went to put the coffee on the dining table
And I was going with my back...I don't know what came over me though
I wanted to try walking backwards and then i suddenly felt someone's presence behind me
And our body was so close...so close that I can feel his breath on my ear
And my eyes widen.,..fuck....I'm always playful during important moments
Even though im not facing him...I can feel the heat radiating from his body
And I quickly gulped before I turned around to say sorry "I'm sorry sir "
And I looked him in his eyes...his deep green eyes....he was looking at me with an emotion I couldn't pinpoint
And there again our eyes locked together...we stared at each other and..."Daddy...Flo good morning "
And both of us startled from our locked gaze and he gulped "Good morning dana"
"Good morning danny" "yah" and she locked at us like she caught us stealing something
"Breakfast " she pointed "Ohh...yes..yes" and I went inside the kitchen to prepare the dining table
I prepared the dining table but I was still remembering our little moment back there
I wanted to go back to the kitchen "Join us for breakfast rose" "sir-"
"For dana " and I looked at dana before I signed and I first took aria in the kitchen and joining then
We were now eating but Mr Nicholeson was staring at me a little here and there
And his eyes landed on dana "Dana have you taken your bath before coming to breakfast " he said in his strict voice
"Daddy -" "I asked you a question right..so yes or no" "no daddy i-" she already wanted to cry
"Dana how-" "sir " and he looked at me and I stared at him..we communicated through the eyes
And he signed "Dana why didn't you wait for flo to bath you before coming for breakfast "
"Daddy I was hungry and I didn't want you to leave without me seeing you that's why daddy"
And she looked down and she was already sniffing....she was already crying
"Come here" But she didn't listen " dana" and she looked at him in her wet long lashes "yes daddy"
"I said come here" and she slowly came down and went to him..he then carried her on his lap
"Next time bath first before coming for breakfast okay " and she nod
"Now I don't like seeing my gem cry...so don't cry okay " "okay" "I love you "
"I love you too daddy" and he pecked her and she smiled and that's how our morning went
I prepared lunch and we ate and I was now preparing dinner...aria and Dana were watching TV in Dana's room
"Rrrr" and I startled then I turned to see Mr Nicholeson there laughing
"You scared me" "you should have seen your face " and I laughed "what you making "
"Chicken soup and fried rice with cheese pasta for dana-" "what about aria "
"She has already -" "Don't tell me that ...she will eat with us and you also "
"Okay sir " "Do you need any help " "I'm done sir " "okay...I will go freshen up now"
And I nod before he went upstairs...I prepared the dining table and called those two
We were all seated and Mr Nicholeson came down freshened up and he sat down
We quietly ate and I was now waiting for Andrew to call that he is already here
I was sitting in the dining room playing with my phone and all of a sudden Mr Nicholeson came there and was also typing on his laptop
And after some time my phone rang and it shows that Andrew is here
"I'm going now sir" "bye...see you tomorrow " and he smiled and i smiled in return
I took my bags and bid my goodbyes before going home with Andrew
We talked all the way home and we went inside "today you have been smiling a lot....wazzzup"
"I'm good Andrew..nothing is up" "Okay " And he smiled "you have also been smiling and lot today...wazzup"
and he smiled again "Nothing...it just that my girlfriend called me today after about 3 months of her ignoring me "
"You have a girlfriend " "Ohh I didn't tell you " "nope " "im sorry though...we have been together for about 4 years now and we will turn five years this year "
"Aww" "I can't what to see her" "She is so beautiful and you will love her "
And he smiled again "She is living in another country though " "We saw each other 3 months ago "
"She came to me and all" "aww okay " and I yawned "okay let's call it a night "
"Good night flo" "goodnight Andrew " "I love you best friend " "I love you too"
And he went out and drove off...we did our normal night routine before falling asleepâ~â
