MY NAIVE COOK - CHAPTER 7&8
🍃 Dave’s pov 🍃
“Where do we start from”? I questioned her seriously at this point, I don’t think I know exactly how we are going to live together under this roof, i am just as confused as nothing!
“Huh”? I mimicked her reply.
Is it that she didn’t hear me or it’s just her habit?
“You didn’t hear what I said”? I questioned, staring blankly into her face.
I don’t even know how I am feeling exactly.
“Uhmmm, I…we….we can start from anywhere sir” she managed to stutter after my persistent look.
“How old are you”? I threw another question.
“Huh?, She blurted out, through a suprised look, this time I didn’t reply but then kept my eyes fixed on hers.
I believe I was loud enough to be heard easily.
I am still trying to figure out why she’s so childish and can’t be bold enough to stand a simple conversation.
Judging from how she acts, it’s obvious she’s scared, why is she acting that way?
I don’t think I have ever done anything to scare her or something, at least not yet.
Wait, where did my mum even find this girl?
I don’t get why a professional cook should be this naive and timid to even talk to someone.
Always facing down.
I think I am getting annoyed at this point, I sincerely am!
“I am twenty three years sir” she replied, and as always she tried to face down once more but then…
“If you dare face down once more, I am going to kiss you so hard, very hard, in a manner you wouldn’t easily get over” I warned and as expected, she threw a shocking look.
Who wouldn’t?, I am shocked at my self as well!
There are other better way of punishing someone, not using a kiss Dave!, I scolded myself inwards.
Well that’s the only thing that came into my head at the moment, and it’s working because she had her eyes straight into mine.
It’s obvious she wasn’t expecting my outburst but then I couldn’t just hold it all in anymore.
She makes me uncomfortable with the way she constantly faces down like there’s something scary on my face.
Was what I just said that bad, I thought inwardly as she stared at me quietly like I placed a death sentence to her.
Should I apologize and say something else instead?
“To be honest with you, I have never had a personal cook before, so I wouldn’t assure you of any good treatment especially with the way you act” I muttered and paused, to make sure I wouldn’t end up saying another nonsense.
“You make me uncomfortable with your behaviour, you act like a naive child” I added and heard her sniff.
What’s that?
“Rose right “? I asked and she nodded.
Wait…, Staring directly into her eyes, I noticed her eyes are teary.
Is she trying to cry or something?
I heard her sniff again, this time she she wiped her face, directing it to the other side of the room.
Is she such a cry baby?
I don’t even know what to say or do next!
Was I that hash with my words?
“Uhmm, I….”
A buzz from my phone Interupted my statement.
“Excuse me” I blurted out and left to take my call.
“Charls…” I muttered into the phone.
“You Dave how’re you doing”? He asked instead.
“I am good, what’s up”? I asked muttered and heard him scoff.
“Seriously, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten”? He muttered.
“I told you I am not going clubbing and….”
“I are you for real right now “? He snapped and I scoffed.
“Then whatt “! I retorted immediately.
“Our meetings, yeah have you forgotten ” he snapped.
“Oh, thought it was your regular clubbing $h|t”, I muttered and he chuckled.
“Don’t be ridiculous ” I am not taking you to club again. He snapped.
“Where’s the venue “? I asked and he kept quiet.
“Did you hear me “? I muttered as he gave no response.
“It’s your house sir” he replied, sarcastically.
“My..my house?, Are you sure”? I asked immediately.
This is definitely bad!
“Thought it was Martin’s….”
“It’s yours, he took the last time” he reminded.
“Really, can you please take for me”? I pleaded.
“It’s everything okay”? He asked and I kept quiet, thinking of a less suspicious answer to give.
“Uhmm.. yeah, sure” I blurted out immediately.
“Tell me, I promise not to let Martin know ” he mumbled.
“It’s nothing serious, it’s just that..I have someone around and I wouldn’t want to make her uncomfortable with guys around and…..”
“Wait, did you just say her”? He interupted.
“Yeah yeah…., Just a distance relative” I blurred out.
Am I not sounding stupid right now?, My friends knows almost everyone in my family.
Why am I even being nervous about all these, It’s not like anything is going on right?
“Why do I feel you sound guilty of something”? He teased, chuckling afterwards.
“Don’t be silly” I muttered and he laughed this time.
“I will get back to you okay, I am kind of busy right now, thank you” I mumbled into the phone and without waiting for his response, I hung up immediately.
What was that Dave!
Why was I getting all nervous?
Charles is the loudest among my two friends, the most extroverted among amongst us.
I am sure he will call me back but then before then, I will come up with better replies.
Things keep getting complicated!
