Just A Glimpse Of You

Saturday Lunch

Avery POV

"Sweetheart. Lunch is ready come on down!." my mom said on the intercom. She's in the kitchen.

Honestly, I didn't notice the time and when I checked it.. it's 12:17 pm.

"Coming!..." i shouted back then i hurriedly walked downstair.

Since it is Saturday my mum cooked food for lunch. She always does this every Saturday. She said before this is the only day that we can be together. Weekdays are so busy days for my parents.

My dad is a CEO and my mum is his Secretary so they are quietly busy running our business and always handful to our business but they never neglected their duty of being parents. Sometimes, If dad does not have important meetings to do he called asking me out on a date and same as mum to Chris then mom and Chris is with dad and vice versa. But always Saturdays are our family day. We bond. We went outing, trips and whatnot.

Well, when it comes to Sundays after church dad and mom have their own bonding moments in the house, while Chris visits his bestfriend's house or go to the gym then he always comes home late at night and me I go window shoppind with my besties. But most of the time I stay in my room watching on Netflix once done with my studies. My besties always come over to do our night out.

Going back to my parents, they are so sweet and I always see the love in their eyes when they look at each other.

Someday I will have that kind of love like my parents have. Hopefully.

"whoah whoah! watch your step sweetheart. slowly..." dad said when I almost stumbled as I reached the last step of the stair.

"hehehe! sorry.." I grinned & hugged him when I get closer and he hugged me back. "I just smell mom's cooking what's for lunch dad? It smells delicious." I asked dad.

We walked to the dining area.

"Im sure it tastes great. She did not want me to go there earlier not until she's done." dad replied.

We saw mom and my brother preparing food on the table. I excitedly walked to the center table and checked the food.

"no way! Did you really cook this mom? " I asked her while eyes widened.

"uh huh! you guys liked it?" mom replied, smiling and having this accomplished look on her face.

"absolutely!" Dad, me and Chris exclaimed in unison. Then we all laughed.

"Wow.! You are so amazing mom. I thought I could not have another chance to eat this again.." I said to her while sitting on the chair next to my brother.

"I'm glad you like it.. i was thinking of what to cook last night then I thought of it so I went out earlier to buy ingredients.

"Thank you honey." dad said to mom while holding her hand with an appreciation look on his eyes. Mom smiled back.

Oh. They are so smitten on each other. I thought.

After dad led the prayer, we began eating and savoring the 3 dishes mom cooked and those were all mouth watering. Mom cooked my favorite buttered shrimp that has a secret ingredients on it which was being passed on by generations to generations now.

She also cooked tenderloin steak with a twist and my brother's favorite, chilli con lobster. In fact, we all love seafoods and my mom is the best Chef for us even my bestfriends told her that. They love my mom's cooking.

-------------------------------

It's now 3 o clock in the afternoon, I already told my parents during lunch that my bestfriends will be coming over to do our projects later at 7pm. So we left food for them. My mom will cook dinner later with new different set of food, of course. So she left food for my bestfriends because she knew shrimp and lobsters are their favorites as well.

I know mom always loved doing it since Ali and Hanna love eating food that she cooked.

Currently, I am now lying on my brother's lap, just like the old times. So I'm lying on my brother's lap with my back on the couch, checking any important updates with my i********: acct. He is also busy with his phone chatting his friends.

I'm still scrolling down checking any interesting events and updates until I saw a picture of this hot guy which really caught my attention. He is so handsome that made my heart beats faster. I dont know why I reacted like this but it's just instant.

I stalked his profile and I found out he is also attending same school as mine. James Seyfried that's the name showing on his profile.

Whew! I felt hot just by watching him, his photo topless, 6 pack abs, aqua-green eyes color and his enticing lips. oh my! what am i thinking? I feel my face is now burning so I exited from his profile but his name already marked.

"hey.. pumpkin." Chris is tapping my forehead. "are you sick?"

"no i.. i am not. I'm fine.." I say giving him an assurance smile.

"I asked you something but you did not answer me then I saw you're face is now red." he said while curiously looking at me.

"Oh! I'm sorry. I didn't hear you. What did you ask me for?" I am now listening intently and blocking the guy in my mind, who makes my heart beats crazy.

"oh it is about your bestfriends. You said they will come over tonight right? so I was wondering if.." he is hesitant to finish it.

" wondering if??...." i asked him while still lying on his lap.

"well you know. I have a thing with Ali. I mean I like her.." he said while his eyes is now looking around as if he is so shy of saying that.

"oh you like her. That's grea-- wait what!?" I abruptly sat on the couch. "What did you say?" i asked him. I am now fully facing him.

"I like Ali. I like her. I just dont know how to ask her on a date. I dont know what to do pumpkin." he said sounding helpless

"oh boy.. you are in a big trouble." I said to him.

He sighed.

"I think you just tell her what you feel and it might come up for 2 possiblities. First, a good result if she accepts to date you or the bad one. If things will go against your want then it might be ackward for the two of you.

Afterall, she is my best friend and I dont want her to avoid me because of you." I explained the possibilities but still it's up to him because I really dont know what to say. I never had someone asking me on date before. Like Duh!

"You're right." he smiled. "I will think of it. But please don't tell her yet, ok?" I nodded at him in response.

"Of course, I won't." I said. Then I go back to my phone and lie down on his lap again which serves as my pillow.

"Thanks pumpkin."

"No problem. But! you better pull yourself up. Think of it many times. You may startruck of her but eventually you'll get over her. I don't want both of you to get hurt."
