"Good morning Trina" Tristan said walking into the kitchen
"Good morning sir. I trust you had a peaceful night's rest."
"Yes Trina, I slept Well. Did you?"
"Yes sir, slept like a log"
"Good. So what are we having for breakfast?"
"Eggs and bacon sir"
"As usual. How about we Cook up something different today"
"Oh what do you suggest sir?"
"Well.. Pancakes? With syrup or berries"
"Its actually been a while we ate pancake sir"
"Yeah. Common, I feel inspired to help you make breakfast today"
"Oh sir its not necessary. Pancakes aren't hard to make sir, I can do it on my own"
"Oh yeah? But I wanna help, And I also wanna learn. I'm the worst cook you'd ever meet"
"You don't mean that sir do you?"
"Yes Trina. I can hardly boil water"
"Well that's awful Sir"
"So does that mean I can help?"
"Do I have a choice?"
"No. Unlike last time I asked for you to not call me Sir and you objected because you had a choice, you don't have one this time Trina. So where do we start from?"
"Um Well... First you get a bowl to mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Then you..."
"Whoa Trina slow down. Let's do this step by step"
"Sorry sir"
"Okay so, we'll start by getting a bowl"
"I'll get it"
"Then we'll add flour, sugar, baking powder and salt"
"Okay. Where's the flour. Let me do the honours of pouring it into the bowl"
"Um I think the flour is on that counter" she said pointing to a counter on the wall just above the cooker "I'll get it"
"Let me help you. It seems too high" he said walking to her noticing she was going to struggle to bring it down on her own. He took her by the waist in a fit to pull her back but accidentally stepped on her foot instead
"Ouch"
"I'm so sorry" he said panicking and then bent down to touch her foot and then got up again to check her facial expression "I'm sorry. Does it still hurt?"
"Um no sir. Its okay. It was minor"
"Thank God. I was afraid I'll have to carry you around for a while as an apology for hurting your foot"
"Oh sir, don't be ridiculous, it couldn't get that serious" she said and they both burst into an awkward laughter
Then he stopped, giving her a straight and somewhat serious face. His eyes assessed her face very slowly, went down to her eyes for almost a minute and then went down to her lips.
"They'd be so delicious" he thought and then began leaning closer to her face slowly and she did the same unknowingly. Their lips where so close when they where interrupted by Conrad
"What's going on here?"
"Um nothing. Just helping Trina get the bucket of flour down. We're making pancakes. here you go Trina" he said handing it to her while avoiding eye contact with her
"Thank you sir"
"Oh is that so?"
"Yes Conrad it is"
"Okay" he said walking out. He didn't he spare a second to look back at them.
"Um... Can we continue?"
"Oh yes sir. How about you whisk the eggs while I handle the flour mixture"
"Good idea"
****
"Breakfast is ready everyone" Tristan announced after giving Trina headache over the pancakes they where making. He couldn't even whisk the eggs successfully, got a lot of shells into the bowl which were so difficult to get out
"Finally" Darcy said skipping into the dinning room "I'm starving. Took you guys long enough"
"This better be delicious" Nick added taking a piece
"Seeing as its Tristan that made them, I doubt they'll be tasty"
"Hey. I also had help from Trina who happens to be a good Cook. So they have to be delicious"
"Bon appètite bro's"
"Alright let's dig in"
"Here goes nothing"
"Oh my God this is awful" Conrad said spitting the bite he took back into his plate
"Couldn't disagree" Darcy said doing the same
"Hey it isn't that bad" Richard said as he chewed it.
"Wait for it"
"Oh crap, what is this Tristan" he asked spitting it out of his mouth "tastes like a bag of salt"
"Oh give me a break guys. This is only my first attempt"
"It better be your last"
"Wow, you guys are so supportive" Tristan said, he's words laced with sarcasm.
"How about we just order pizza instead" Nick suggested getting up
"That's a wonderful idea"
"Trina" Nick called
"Yes sir?"
"Order two large pepperoni pizza's for us please. We're starving"
"Alright sir. Will do that right away"
"I'm gonna Netflix and chill till the pizza gets here" Conrad announced "who's in?"
"I guess we're all in" Tristan said getting up
"So what are we watching?"
"I'm thinking... Extraction? Bloodshot?"
"Extraction sounds good"
***
"Pizza's here, Tristan announced getting up immediately he heard the door bell "who's paying?" He asked but didn't get any reply "y'all are getting nothing from this pizza"
"Yeah. Like you'd be able to enjoy two large sizes on your own"
"Watch me"
"Hey baby" Kate said immediately he opened the door
"Kate?" He said with an unintentional frown
"What's the matter? Aren't you happy to see me?"
"Its not that Kate. Why didn't you tell me you where coming?"
"Um I just wanted to surprise you baby. But if you don't wanna see me it's okay, I'll leave" she said turning around
"Wait Kate. I'm sorry. Please come in"
"Oh, I now understand what you meant when you said no one would be getting a share from the pizza" Darcy said trying to suppress his laugh
"We now understand bro. No qualms" Richard added laughing
"What are they talking about?" Kate asked obviously confused
"Don't mind them. They're just being foolish as usual"
"How are you doing Kate?" Nick asked
"I'm fine Nick, thanks. So what are y'all up to huh?"
"We where just about to watch a movie, we're just waiting for the pizza we ordered to arrive"
"Oh cool. Didn't have breakfast"
"Why?"
"No reason. Just had to get ready so I could come see Tristan"
"I see"
"The pizza's finally here" Tristan said getting up after the door bell rang again
"Finally. Thought it'll never arrive"
"Trina. Can you get 7 plates?"
"Okay sir"
"Seven plates? We're only 6 here Tristan" Conrad pointed out
"We're 7 dude. I included Trina"
"Oh okay"
"Alright everyone, dig in"
"Ugh finally, something delicious to eat" Richard said mocking Tristan
"Haha very funny"
"So can we start the movie now?"
"Alright". Nick said pressing play
The movie began as they began eating their pizza and Tristan looked around noticing Trina was no longer in the living room
"Where did Trina go?" He asked no one in particular
"Probably went to her room"
"Um, I'll be right back" he said moving Kate's head from his chest and then he got up
"Where are you going babe?"
"Need to drop a message with Trina. Y'all should go on with the movie. I won't be long"
"We were never gonna pause the movie dude" Nick said smirking
"whatever"
