Avery POV
Hoo, luckily, we arrived safely. I thought I’m going to die. Grr! I think I don’t need to visit any amusement parks, I just need to ride with her and it feels like we’re in the amusement park.
“I thought I’m gonna die” I said as soon as I get off the car.
“Hurry up and cook for me” Ecean said. Tsh. What an attitude.
“I don’t want to” I said. I know we’re not that close yet but I feel like I wanted to tease her.
“That’s your job” She said.
“Let me clear things out to you, I am not your maid. I am your housemates” I said.
“So? What’s the difference? Whether you’re my maid or just a plain housemates, you still need to cook for me” she said.
What the?! Is she really giving me an attitude? Ha! I didn’t knew Auntie raised her niece like a spoiled brat. I thought she would be so kind and humble. Oh, right. What should I expect from the person who grew up from a wealthy family. I bet she never experience having no money left in the wallet.
I tried to calm myself from what she just said.
‘Okay, Avery, calm down. She’s just being a b***h and you have no choice but to be with her just for the sake of having a rent-free house. Just a little more patience and you’ll be fine’ I mentally said as I need to calm down.
But I have a problem. A huge problem.
“I… I don’t know how to cook” I said.
“What?” she asks.
“I don’t know how too cook. Uhh no, uhm, I am confident with some foods but I am not that good at cooking and uhm yeah, I still don’t know how to cook” I said.
Actually, I know how to cook. I can cook hotdogs, eggs, instant noodles, ready to cook Siomai and some instant food. I can make a decent food just to calm your hunger. But other than that, I don’t know how to cook. I can’t cook dishes, and more. Hehe
“What food are you confident to make?” she ask
“Eggs, hotdogs, instant noodles. I can make those for you. But if you’re fine to eat those kind of foods for a long time?” I said. I am not kidding when I said that. I am serious that, that is what I can cook for us.
“What? Do you want me to have a UTI? Aish. Auntie should find someone who is good at cooking,” she said.
The heck! I know I am not perfect but, it’s not my fault that I am not that interested to learn how to cook.
“Then you bear it” I said.
“Tss. Go cook breakfast. I’ll be the one to cook lunch and dinner for us” she said.
We are now at the kitchen after a long discussion about what to cook for breakfast.
“Wait a minute, you’ll cook lunch and dinner, you say, right?” I said.
“Yeah, so?”
I suddenly got nervous thinking about it. Should I say my last words to my parents? This might be my last life here on earth.
“Nothing. Hehe” I said. Then I started to cook.
“Just bring the food in my room after you finished cooking” I hear Ecean said. I didn’t reply since I have a plan for her to eat with me.
After 20 minutes of cooking, I’m finally done. Hahaha don’t bash me if I cook too slow. I wanted the egg to be perfect and the hotdog to be well cooked. Since I am assuming that Ecean is a picky eater.
How can I make Ecean eat with me? I remember the maid telling me that Ecean never eats with them or at least have meal in the kitchen. They all send the foods in her room.
“Should I wait for her to come here? Until she can’t bear the hunger?” I whispered.
“But, she might kill me once she came down” I replied to myself.
“What the heck!” I was surprised. I thought I’ve seen a ghost. Imagine, a super duper pale skin tone standing in front of you with a long hair that is covering her face and a white pajama with a red ink on her clothes.
seconds later when I realized that it was Ecean who is standing in front of me.
“Ecean” I called.
“You scare me. I thought you’re a ghost” I said. Then I look closely again to her clothes
“What happened to you?” I asks. “Is that a blood?” I continue, while pointing at her clothes.
“What took you so long to send my breakfast in my room?” she asks.
“Ahh, hehe I—I’m actually…” How can I explain that I want her to come down here?
“Never mind, I’ll eat here” She said.
“Are you sure you’ll eat with me?” I asks.
“Yeah,” she said the pulled the chair in front of me.
‘Yeesss!! I can have time to talk to her’ I mentally said.
“Serve me my food” she said. Tsh. So bossy. Did she really see me as her personal maid? The heck.
“Here’s your food, madam” I said after I put the food in her plates.
If you close your eyes and just listen to Ecean’s voice, you will probably think that she’s an angel. Ecean has a nice voice. A super nice soothing voice. But then, when you look at her, it is the opposite of being an angel. She looks like a ghost hehe.
“Why didn’t you bring my food on my room?” She asks.
“UHm, honestly because, it’s so lonely to eat alone. I am not used on eating alone. I eat with my parents” I said.
“I am not used to eat with someone else” She said.
“Then you can get used to eat with someone now. Especially there’s only the two of us here” I said.
“Nahh, I’m just eating here with you now, because you didn’t bring my food in my room. And I have lost my energy to bring my food in my room. That’s why it left me with no choice but to eat with you” she said.
Whatever you say, at least I can have a conversation to you.
