MY NAIVE COOK - CHAPTER 29&30
🍁 Clara’s pov 🍁
I might not really be correct but I know one thing for sure, my brother is falling for Ross and Rose in return has a thing for him.
But them, the both of them are just stubborn to receive that.
“You guys don’t worry yourself, I am here to help out” I blurted out, laughing out afterwards.
This is my d@mn field.
Currently, I am in Rose’s room, laying on her bed. I still don’t understand why she’s staying downstairs while there are some free rooms up.
“Rose how about you move upstairs” I blurted out, scrolling through my phone while she gets dressed up.
“What do you mean”? She questioned lowly.
” I mean, how about you, joins us upstairs, there are some free rooms there” I replied, facing her fully.
“Why, what for “? She questioned, picking up the dryer.
“Let me help you with that ” I suggested.
“No, don’t worry” she muttered immediately making me to pouch.
“Ain’t we friends again”? I muttered lowly.
This is my way of getting to her.
“Fine, come have it” she mumbled lowly, handing the dryer to me.
I just love the fact that she’s becoming less nervous and more free around me. I am sure my sisters wouldn’t like someone who’s too quiet and timid.
Well not like we have much thing to do, if reverse be the case.
“I thought being down here all alone would be lonely for you” I chipped in, lifting some strands of her hair.
“Don’t worry, I am fine here, I like this room” she replied immediately.
“If you insist” I Muttered lowly.
Looks like she obeys my brother a lot more than me, I would have gone through him then.
“And about the call earlier….”
“Can I say something about it”? I asked, winking afterwards.
“Yeah sure” she replied, staring at her reflection on the mirror in our front.
“Why did you end the call that way, was it because of me”? I asked lowly, almost in a whisper.
“Nope, he was just being nosey” she blurted out immediately making me to open my eyes widely.
“A he”? I repeated slowly.
“Uhmm yeah” she replied.
“You guys met when you came here”? I asked, standing up to return the dryer.
“Yeah, some weeks ago at the mall” she replied simply.
“That’s good” I blurted out, giving her a wink.
” so what’s next”? I questioned, staring round the room.
I am kind of getting bored, I feel I was being too nosey to her personal life.
“I should be in the kitchen now” she muttered.
“Okay then, let’s get going” I blurted out, walking a head of her to the kitchen.
“Are you cooking with me”? She asked trailing behind me.
“Sort of ” I replied, laughing afterwards.
Not like I know what exactly I am going to do in the kitchen.
Some minutes later
“Don’t worry ” Rose Muttered for the tenth time in the kitchen as I offered to do something.
“At least let me take the plates to the dinning table” I Muttered and pouched.
“Fine” she mumbled lowly.
I was busy arranging the plates on the dinning table when a knock came at the main door.
” who’s that, I am coming” I muttered reaching for the door.
On opening the door, Anita stood at the door and as usual, faked a smile immediately she saw me.
“Hey Clara” she muttered beaming all fake smiles.
“Hey Anita ” I replied with an eye roll.
“Wouldn’t you let me”? She asked lowly, probably she observed I wasn’t making any attempt to let her in.
“What do you mean Anita” I asked coldly.
“Let me in, I came to see Dave” she muttered and scoffed.
“At this time of the day” I questioned.
” Clara why are you questioning me right now ” she snapped, scoffing loudly afterwards.
“Because you are obviously not welcome here” i telling, chuckling while she rolled her eyes in return.
“Clara can you quit all these drama already and…”
“Have you forgotten what happened the last time”? I reminded, cutting her off on the process.
“You want to fight me again huh, you…”
“Dave have a girlfriend now, I don’t see any reason you should be visiting his house” I said, giving a smirk.
“I want him to say it himself, so please leave….”
“Should I call the security “? I snapped, cutting her off.
” I will come back ” she muttered, giving me some kinda deadly glare.
” you better don’t “! I Muttered, laughing afterwards.
Her guts are so annoying!
“Who’s that”? Dave asked, climbing down the stairs.
“Absolutely nobody” I replied, chuckling.
I would never watch Anita take advantage my brother all over again, never!
🍃 Anita’s pov
“Where on earth have you been” Ella asked worriedly immediately I stepped into the house.
“Where else” I muttered lowly, throwing myself angrily on the couch.
“What’s with this mood”? She questioned, coming to sit beside me.
“Nothing I mumbled, staring into the space.
“Where’s your phone “? She asked.
“Its in my bag ” I muttered.
“You purposely refused to pick up my calls “? She questioned and scoffed.
“Are you gonna crusify me for doing that “? I retorted glaring at her.
‘Anita talk to me, what’s going on, I am your friend and I wouldn’t judge you” she muttered lowly, leaning closer to me.
“Do you need to keep reminding me of that anytime you want to hear something from me”? I snapped at her quickly.
“It’s unnecessary but then, I don’t have any other choice ” Ella chipped in with an eye roll.
“I am coming from Dave’s house” I blurted out.
“Are you kidding me right now Anita”! She shouted, standing up immediately.
“Are you gonna fight me “? I snapped, retorting back immediately.
“Anita you……’
A knock came at the door, diverting our attention.
“Ella you expecting a visitor”? I questioned.
“In your house”? She replied and scoffed.
“Not like you don’t invite those $cvmbags here” I mumbled, heading to the door.
On opening the door, Rita stood outside and scoffed loudly immediately she saw me.
“Hey , who do we have here ” I muttered, beaming all smiles.
“Come in” I blurred out, chuckling afterwards.
She’s the least person I expected to see here, she must be very desperate to have her boss, funny!
“Wh@??ver ” she snapped with an eye roll.
“Make yourself comfortable ” I said, giving her a smirk.
“I didn’t come here for that ” she muttered and scoffed.
“Anita who is she “? Ella questioned, giving me the what is going on look.
“You don’t remember her “? I asked Ella who threw a puzzled look.
“Well if I did I wouldn’t be asking” She muttered.
“She’s Rita, Rita meet Ella my best friend” I blurted out, beaming all smiles.
“Anita you of all people know how busy my schedules are” Rita said, glaring at me.
“So..”?
Let’s get to why I am here ” she snapped coldly.
“Before then, how did you know my address, I don’t remember giving you “? I questioned while she rolled her eyes in return.
“It that necessary right now”? She muttered.
“Yeah, for security reasons ” I reminded.
“Have you forgotten I used to bring stupid flowers to you when you were dating my boss huh”? She snapped and I laughed lightly.
Oh, for a second I totally forgot about all those!
“My bad” I whispered, winking afterwards.
“Ok can someone tell me what’s going on here ” Ella chipped in, staring at me for an explanation.
“Don’t worry my dear friend, I will explain later okay”? I Muttered, giving her a cheeky smile while she stared plainly.
“So Rita you’ve made up your mind”? I blurted out, not really sure if my question was retorical or not.
” I am telling you to do this because I love my boss and I want him” Rita muttered lowly, staring into the space.
“And I am telling you to do this not because I really want you to have him but because I don’t want him to be with that dirty $cvm in his house ” I said and Rita raised her brows in confusion.
” His house”? She repeated.
“You aren’t aware”? I asked, laughing out loud afterwards.
“I know my boss brought one strange lady to the last partner hangout in the company but then I had no idea they live together” she muttered lowly.
“So from the look of things, seems you don’t like this lady as well right”? And she nodded in response.
“I don’t like her, neither do I like you” she snapped, scoffing afterwards.
“I know that already” I replied, chuckling.
“Give me a second” I muttered and headed to my bedroom.
Minutes later
“Here, have this” I said, handing an envelope to her.
“Good luck” I whispered.
“Wh@??ver” she snapped before she walked out.
“Anita what’s all these drama, what’s…….? Ella questioned.
“Calm down let me explain” I interupted Ella beaming all smiles.
🌿 Dave’s pov 🌿
1 week later, 8: 30pm.
“It’s so called today” I muttered, lifting my pyjamas Colla up to my cheeks. Adjusting my legs a little, I layed my back on the couch while staring into the space.
We just finished having our dinner and Clara suggested we watch movies before going to bed.
She said it’s fun to see movies in cold weathers like it is tonight. I can’t recall the last time I saw a movie, I find that a bit childish and time consuming.
“Here” Rose said from behind, making me to tilt my head towards her direction.
“You left your phone on the dinning table” she muttered, handing over the phone.
“Thank you” I replied, giving a cheeky smile.
I noticed she stood still staring at me.
“Is anything the problem”? I asked.
“Nope, Clara isn’t here yet” she replied.
Nope?, I know I did tell her to reduce the sir but isn’t nope too casual?
“Isn’t it obvious”? I replied, raising one of my brows.
“I would just go there and sit” she muttered, moving over to the couch opposite mine.
Somehow, I got my eyes busy staring at her while we wait for Clara.
For some days now, I usually find myself always looking at Rose, most times i am unconsciously Lost doing that.
Maybe I have just grown found of her beautiful face.
I even stutter when talking to her most times and feel badly nervous when we are in a close range.
I am still yet to understand all those changes and why my body reacts these way when I am with her.
I grew up with women around me and I have never felt this way before, not even in any of my formal relationships.
“I am going nuts because of you” I Muttered lowly, staring deeply at Rose who seemed to be so engrossed on her phone.
Clara asked if I have fallen for her but then I don’t think that’s the case.
Isn’t it too early to call it love?
“Do you like what you see”? Someone whispered into my ears from behind, startling me on the process.
Who else!
“Must you act like a witch huh”? I blurted out immediately, making Clara to burst out laughing.
“I caught you again” she muttered amidst laughter.
“Wh@??ver” I mumbled lowly, scoffing afterwards.
“Rose over here”! Clara said, and headed towards the TV.
“Horror, Romance, comedy” which do you prefer? Clara asked no one in particular and obviously got no response.
“Dave”? She asked, staring at me.
“None” I replied, scrolling through my phone.
“Vibe ki||er” she snapped as expected.
“How about you Rose dear”? She blurted out, beaming all smiles.
What’s that for?
“Anyone is okay by me” Rose replied with a smile.
“Fine, we would go with Roman…”
“No”! Rose and I blurted out in unison, coincidentally.
“Why “? Clara whispered, throwing some devilish grin.
“Wh@??ver” I Muttered immediately, focusing back on my phone.
Why did I even refuse in the first place!
I am sure Clara will definitely torment me with this later on.
An hour later
“Awwwwnn, I love how this movie ended” Clara muttered, beaming all smiles.
“You love it also right”? She questioned.
“Uhmm, I don’t know” I replied, brushing the back of my head.
I don’t even know what the movie was all about, I was engrossed on my phone.
“I am not surprised, the only thing you are most interested on is watching Rose” she snapped, rolling her eyes afterwards.
It’s expected.
About Rose, she already slept off, looks like she’s not a movie person just like I am.
“I am going to bed, good night” Clara muttered, standing up to leave.
“You what”? I questioned immediately.
“I said I am going to bed, is anything the matter”? She repeated slowly.
Is this lady kidding me right now!
“And Rose, is she gonna sleep here”? I asked and she shrugged.
“You should take her in of course” she replied.
“What’s that”? I blurted out unbelievably.
” you are the man here, you should do your job” she snapped and without waiting for any more response from me she walked out.
Not like it’s a big deal but then I know what happened the last time I took her in.
Goodthing she’s very much asleep today, it will be easier.
Carefully adjusting her head, I was able to lift her off the couch without waking her up .
“Pheww..” I exhaled deeply and headed to her bedroom.
Gently, I placed her on the bed, bending over to pick up her duvet from the other corner of the bed out of the blues Rose hugged me so tight, making me to fall into of her on the process.
“It’s so warm” she mumbled, hugging me even more tight.
Okay, I think I can’t breath right now, she’s hugging me too tight!
