Chapter 58 : Sweet, spicy and Meaty.

They'd made up pretty quickly, especially since Kofi had stopped gloating. Dylan had gone to his dorm to get changed, leaving the others by themselves. Kofi had decided to sit on the marble countertop in the kitchen and was passing things to Peach randomly.

She kicked her feet up at Chase and sighed playfully, " I'm hungry. Do you know how to cook? You look like you can Chase ". He avoided her leg and nodded, " You could say that ".

Peach was a bit surprised, " Really? I didn't know Yanchol men cooked. Imlarna men maybe but not you guys ". Chase laughed nervously, " You're right. It's just that if I don't cook, I'm certain I'm not eating ".

Peach's expression dropped as she turned to the fridge, " Ow. I didn't know " [ Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Should I apologize or not? What if he gets upset if I do? ] Kofi suddenly held her arms out and caught Chase's hands.

She smiled brightly as she swung their hands, " That's amazing. I trust you with the cooking more than I trust Peach ". She pulled him closer and whispered in his ear, " I'm sure the food's poisoned already ".

Chase laughed and Peach glared at the two, " What are you two talking about? I feel as though you're talking about me. Are you talking about me "? Chase smiled at her innocently, " It's a secret ".

Peach raised an eyebrow, slightly disgusted " Whatever. What are you making us "? Kofi patted the table playfully, " I don't care as long as there's a lot of meat in it ".

Peach liked her lower lip playfully, " Something sweet would be nice ". Chase nodded slowly [ I guess all Rifniks really do have a sweet tooth ] " Alright ". Kofi jumped off the counter and spread out her hands and all the stuff they bought were sprawled on the counter.

She turned to Chase and smiled, her voice filled with excitement " We're all ready ". Chase sighed as he looked at her, " Since you ask so nicely ". Kofi jumped up, " Awesome. Having a well cooked meal sounds delicious " [ And too good to be true ]

Chase raised an eyebrow as he picked one of the cans now on the counter, " You say that like you've never had a properly cooked meal ". Kofi tilted her head to the side with a slight smile, " You could say that. I eat whatever I can get my hands on, whether raw or not " [ Expired or fresh ]

Peach stared at her, surprised and worried " Is that really safe "? Kofi seemed surprised by the sudden concern and smiled widely [ Why did I have to bring that up ] " Kidding. I'm kidding ". Peach suddenly frowned, puffing out her cheeks " It's not your fault. It's mine for worrying about you ".

Chase watched the two silently as he squeezed the can still in his hand. He looked at Kofi who was poking Peach's still inflamed cheeks [ She wasn't kidding, was she? ]

Dylan was a bit surprised by the mess he'd made in his room yesterday, but compared to how his room usually was, he felt this was an improvement. He got a text from Peach asking what he wanted to eat and he loved spicy food.

That only gave him the motivation to get dressed quicker. He picked a pair of grey joggers he'd thrown on the floor and a sleeveless black round neck he'd thrown on the table.

He took a quick shower and got dressed, he bursted out the door with the same energy he had earlier. He stopped jogging when he bumped into Charles and Dexter. Though he was happy to see them, he wasn't very keen on being buddies with people who didn't have his back.

He suddenly thought of Kofi's mocking grin and laughed to himself, " She's really out of the ordinary ". When he realized they'd be entering the same building he sighed [ Fake face activated ]

He had on a slight smile on as he quickened his pace slightly, " Morning guys ". Charles smiled back, waving at him " Morning ". Dexter kicked at the floor randomly, " We're just gonna leave before this gets awkward ".

Dylan nodded in agreement, " Probably for the best ". Dylan took a deep breath as he entered the elevator to the left, " So that's what it feels like ". What he didn't expect was for them to get off on the same floor.

Charles already had a slight frown on his face and Dylan knew him well enough to know he was about to get scolded. Whatever it was about, he had no idea and didn't really care.

Dexter suddenly covered his mouth and laughed nervously, " We'll see you later then ". Dylan was a bit confused by the two but Kofi suddenly opened the door, " You were taking forever, I was beginning to think you weren't coming back ".

He scoffed with a slight smile, " An excuse to stay at your place, I'm not passing that up ". Kofi glanced at Dexter and Charles with furrowed brows [ Strange people ] She pulled Dylan in, smiling again " It was nice to see you two ".

Charles looked up at Dexter and that was when they realized Dexter still had his hand over Charles mouth. They jumped apart, Charles rubbing his mouth " Never speak of this again "?

Dexter looked away, hands raised high [ And in front of the cute red head too ] " I don't even know what you're talking about ".
