8

Like what we talked about almost two weeks ago, Yuri became busier than before. She started to take special classes too, according to Jay.

While I am here, waiting patiently for her updates and all. She sometimes send a picture of herself while working, making me smile widely. At least, even if we're not together she never forget to update me.

"Hey, want some?" CL offered me a bag of chips. I took some and returned to what I was doing.

We'll present some annual reports regarding a chosen business. Since my mom owns one, I just asked for the things I'll need from her. Though she offered an already finished annual report to me, I declined. I want to learn and do things on my own.

I continued typing while my eyebrows furrowed. I was in the middle of working on it when my phone vibrated.

I looked at what's happening and saw a message from Yuri, making me smile.

"What an idiot!" I heard Kath commented but I ignored it and proceeded to open the message.

'Free this Saturday night.'

I immediately replied, I badly want to go on a date with her. It has been ages since we gone to one.

'Sorry, babe. Can we just cuddle?'

I shoved my disappointment away and typed a message. I'll agree with anything as long as I'm with her.

I smiled widely as I continued my work. I'm more inspired to do this report now.

"Got some good news, I see." I rolled my eyes at Kath's comment and continued typing.

I'll finally spend my Saturday night with the love of my life. Just a few more hours and I'll see her again.

In no time, I finished the whole report. I drank the coffee straight. We've been working on this thing since yesterday and the two decided to spend the Friday night in my house doing these.

"What time is it?" Kath asked me as she drank her coffee.

"Almost 9 o'clock." In the morning, it's morning already. The sun is shining bright yet we haven't got our sleep yet. Coffee mugs scattered at my room.

"Oh my God! Can we at least sleep for a while?" CL ranted and saved her work. I did the same after reading the whole report again, just in case I have some typographical errors.

I settled my laptop at my study table and hopped on my bed. CL chose to sleep on the bean bag while Kath chose the couch. They can sleep on my bed but they chose to sleep there. They said it's more comfortable for them if they don't have any companion in bed.

I just shrugged at their words and tried to get some sleep. Tonight, I'll see the love of my life.

"Holy crap!" I shouted as I felt my feet being pulled.

"Hey!" I shouted at the two suspect.

I glanced at the time and saw it's a quarter before 5 in the afternoon. I have slept for almost 8 hours.

"We'll leave now." They waved at me before exiting my room. I sat and scratched my eyes. I'm still sleepy but I need to clean my room.

Mugs are scattered everywhere, also some apple seeds are lying on the floor.

After picking it all up, I brought it downstairs and let the maids manage it. I went back to my room and washed myself before going down again. I need to eat.

The maids left the area as soon as I stepped in the kitchen. They all know that I don't want anyone to accompany me whenever I step my foot inside my haven.

Kitchen is my haven. I love to cook.

I wore my apron and started to chop the ingredients for the food I'll make. I hum as I wash the utensils. I also wiped it with some table cloth before proceeding to cooking.

I pressed a button to turn on the electric stove. We don't use the gas stove since my mom thinks it's a lot of work and also, I don't know how to turn it on. I love cooking but turning on the gas stove is a no for me. I don't know how to do it.

After putting all the ingredients at the pot, I waited for it to boil before tasting it.

"Ouch!" I touched my lip as the soup burned it. I blew it a little more and slurped the soup from the spoon.

"Uh-huh!" I spoke as soon as I find the taste fit mine.

"Can I have some?" I jolted from my position when I heard those words from my back.

"Why must you surprise me like that?" I slapped Yuri's arm softly.

Everyone have their own exception and mine is Yuri. I don't mind the company if it's her. I enjoy cooking more when she watches me or joins me.

"Sorry 'bout that!" She replied and gave me a chaste kiss on my lips.

I turned off the stove and put some on a bowl before serving it to the table.

"Is this for your dinner?" She asked me as she put some on a smaller bowl.

"Kind of, this is my first meal for today." She stopped as soon as she heard my words.

"Ouch!" I rubbed my arm after she hit me with a spoon while removing my apron.

"Why didn't you eat earlier?" Her eyebrows furrowed.

"I was busy with some reports." I pouted. She just rolled her eyes on me.

"You kept reminding me to eat yet you are the one who doesn't." She scolded.

"Yeah, yeah! I'm sorry, it's due this coming Monday." I replied and hugged her sideways.

"Why didn't you do it earlier?" She asked again.

"I had some paper works to work with that was due before that." I answered immediately.

"Fine, fine. Let's eat!" I smiled as soon as I heard her words.

My jaw dropped when she gave an enormous amount of rice to me.

"Are you trying to make me fat?" I asked her.

"Not really, but that'll be good." She replied while sipping some soup.

"Oh come on!" I pouted and she just glared at me.

"Finish the food, Aikovin Harriette." That's it, she called me by my name. It means she's really serious.

I just shut my mouth and ate silently. I won't ever win when she starts calling me by my name.

After eating, I left the dishes at the sink but immediately returned when I saw her crossing her arms. I washed the dishes before I followed her upstairs.

I locked the door as soon as I enter. She's probably rummaging my closet again. I sat by the edge of my bed and waited for her to come out.

"Babe!" I smiled as I saw her come out of the closet wearing a onesie. She look so cute.

She walked to me and made a spin, showing the onesie to me.

"You look extra adorable." I said as I pull her to sit on my lap sideways.

Her arms are snaked around my nape and I settled my hands on her waist.

We looked into each other's eyes.

With that, I became in love once again.
