Rachel woke up at seven- thirty am. Sitting up in bed as she struggled out of her bed linen, she yawned and stretched herself. She got up to go to the bathroom to brush her teeth and bathe.
After doing that, she opened her wardrobe to select what she will wear for the day. Since it was Saturday, she will be going to the farm to help her mother, she wore a joggers, sweatshirt and a pair of slippers, then she left the room and walked into the kitchen. She picked up an apron hung over the door and wore it, then she took a pot, lit the gas and placed the pot on it, then she pour water in it and put the grains of rice.
The cook noticed her and quickly rushed to help her. She stretched out her hand to help Rachel with the ingredients.
"Ma'am, let me help you"
"No. Don't worry about helping me. I can do it on my own" Rachel insisted on cooking alone. She put the ingredients on the table and preheated the oven to 450 degrees. She mixed lumb crabmeat, crab sticks and the other ingredients. She then pressed the rice into a pain and sprinkled bori furcake onto the rice.
The maid and cook stood there quietly, watching her prepare breakfast.
From the corner of her eyes, she saw a tall figure standing at the door of the kitchen. She turned her head only to see Chad. He stood there rigidly.
"Hey! You are awake" Rachel asked and turned her head to what she was cooking.
"Yeah. I heard you were cooking, so I came downstairs to help you" Chad said, his tone calm.
Rachel, the maid and the cook were shocked. They all looked at Chad in the eyes. This was the first time their young master will say he wants to cook. If madam Torres heard that her son was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, she will definitely be mad.
Chad walked inside, wore an apron and gave the maid and the cook a look. They bow and left the kitchen. Rachel was still in a shock. She couldn't believe what she heard him say. Chad gave her a questioning look. "What? You are surprised?"
"You... Can you even cook?"
Being a rich person, Chad was not allowed to do any house chores, or even cook, so Rachel could not believe that he can cook.
"You will see. Come on. We have to cook breakfast and we must do it quickly" Chad said and snatched the spoon from her.
"Hey! Why did you collect the spoon from me?"
"Remember we are doing the cooking together" Chad said and smiled.
While cooking, Rachel stole glances at Chad. He was really handsome in the apron.
Mr good looking is cooking.
Due to the hot steam coming out from the pot, beads of sweat broke out on Chad's forehead. Rachel reached out her hand and wiped the sweat off with the back of her hand. He smiled at her and she smiled back. Rachel lean forward and sniffed in the sweet aroma coming from the pot.
"Wow! I want to taste it, Chad. I want to know how delicious the food is" she said and excitement rested on her face. Chad allowed her to taste the food. She gave him a thumbs up. "Chad, you are the best cook ever. Why do you have to get a cook when you know how to cook yourself" she said and then lowered her voice. "You food is even more delicious than theirs"
Rachel wondered why they had to get a cook when he can even cook. This rich people, eh...
Chad was happy with her compliment. He turned his head to look at her and smiled. This was his first time cooking and he never expected his food to be this delicious. There was sushi at the corner of her lips. Chad put down the spoon he was holding and went to her.
Rachel was surprised. "What? Why are you coming closer?" she said and lean against the kitchen counter. He smiled as he lean forward, wiping his thumb across her lips, sushi coated his thumb as he brought it to his mouth. Slowly sucking the thumb in, he licked off the sushi.
"Mhm, delicious" he moaned.
Rachel was shocked.
Chad put his hand behind her head and gently licked the sushi away from her lips. Rachel opened her eyes wide. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply. Soft, slow, deep kisses that seems to last for hours, but were only mere seconds. Chad pulled away from her gently and looked at her face.
He could still feel the warmth in his heart, the sweetness of her lips. However as passionate and romantic it sounds. He winked at the flustered woman in front of him. He licked his lips and smiled. "So delicious"
Rachel was still in a daze. She subconsciously touched her lips and her face flushed immediately. Chad looked at her and pinched her nose. "Hey, why are you just standing there? Do you like the kiss?" he said, giggling. Rachel shook her head and gave him a dirty look. She clenched her fist and landed a hook on his stomach that quickly put a stop to his laughter.
"Why did you kiss me, Huh?" she yelled.
Chad groan in pain. "Hey, lie and tell me you don't like the kiss. You responded to the kiss which means you love it, so why did you punch me?"
Rachel's face flushed. She loved the kiss, but she won't just admit it to herself. She shook her head and turned her head to the other side in embarrassment. Chad looked at her and laughed. She turned her head again and her eyes met with Chad's, but she quickly lowered her eyes to avoid his.
In the dining room.
Chad pulls out a chair for Rachel to sit before he sat down. He picked up a plate for Rachel and served her then he served himself the same thing.
While eating, Mrs Torres seems to have noticed something different about the food, so she asked, "Who cooked thess dishes? It tastes different from the ones we eat"
Chad said, "Rachel and I cooked the dishes" he turns his head to look at Rachel and wink at her. Rachel's face blushed and she quickly lowered her eyes and continued eating her food.
Others were a little but shocked. Chad had never tried to cook before
Mrs Torres was surprised. "What?"
Chad said, Mom, I felt like cooking today with Rachel and I have never had the chance to cook, so I used this opportunity. I am also doing this for my future. When I am married, I will want to help my wife in the kitchen" he turned his head to look at Rachel again and smiled.
Mr Torres nodded his head and smiled, "Of course Chad, I am so proud of you. Your food is so delicious" Mr Torres thought, Now I know the reason why Rachel is important to Chad.
"All thanks to Rachel" Chad said and laughed. Mr Torres laughed and continued eating.
Mina's blood was boiling in anger. It's always Rachel. Rachel this, Rachel that.
