Sophia was called into Angel's room. Angel was lying on the bed on her phone, her legs crossed. Sophia stared wistfully at the crop top and bum short she was wearing and looked at the orange T-shirt and black knickers she was wearing silently wishing she could go back to wearing clothes like Angel was wearing right now.
"You sent for me"
"Yes" Angel said not looking up from her phone. " You're in charge of dinner tonight"
"Me?"
Angel looked up. " Is there a problem"
'How am I supposed to say this....I've literally never cooked anything in my life and the only time I've been to the kitchen is to make a sandwich or grab a snack' Sophia said within her.
"Well....." Angel said impatiently
Sophia rolled her eyes.
....
Angel dragged her downstairs. When they got to the living room, Sophia pulled her arm out of Angel's grip and glared at her. But when she saw that the rest of the family was in the living room, especially Mrs. Medes, she composed herself.
Jason was seated on the sofa busy on his business laptop. Veronica was with a sketch pad and pencil trying to figure out different dress designs to draw. She was a fashion designer. Mrs. Medes was reading a book. Janvier was reading a book as well but she was curled up on the floor with Nathaniel who was doing some math.
The living room was quiet and serene till Angel pulled Sophia down stairs.
"What's going on"Janvier said.
"Tell them" Angel said. She had a smug look on her face.
"Tell us what" Jason said. He looked at Sophia and frowned. "Tell us what!!!"
Sophia folded her arms. She breathed in and out and rolled her eyes. "I can't cook" She saw the shocked look on their faces, the smirk that Jason hid and the smug smile on Angel's face. "So what. Selina can take care of that"
"You can't cook" Mrs. Medes wrinkled her nose. "Some maid you are"
"What planet are you from" Veronica said the tip of her pencil in her mouth
"You'll have to take cooking lessons from Selina" Jason said unsmilingly. "If Angel feels that you should also help out with the cooking, then you'll have to learn how to cook"
"What if I don't want to"
They all looked at her. Before anyone said a word, Janvier stands up.
"Don't worry Sophia. I'll teach you to cook" She held Sophia's hand. Angel stared at them suspiciously.
"There's no need for that Jan. " Jason said surprised that his sister had already taken a liking to Sophia.
"Seriously" Angel agreed with Jason pulling Janvier away from Sophia. "Amanda can handle it. Remember your lungs can't take much....."
"Stop it Angel" Janvier said Before Angel could finish. "I'm teaching her to cook and that's final. Common Sophia lets go"
Surprisingly to all of them, Sophia followed her immediately.
Veronica starts drawing on her sketch pad. Then she stops and looks at Angel who had a sulky frown on her face.
"Give it up Angel. At least she's learning how to cook"
"Jason you've not told us where you found that thing"Mrs. Medes said putting stress on the word 'thing'
"She's a human Mum and Lest you forget, she's just been here for a week. A month here with us will break every wing she think she's grown in this house. Believe me. I'll personally break them for her"
