Chapter 33 : Your being nice to me?

"What for."

"You came to see me cause you were worried about me, didn't you?"

"Of course not, I just came to see you since you used to be my seat partner and have always been until today."

"Hahaha, I'm just joking~ Like as if you would..." Did I hear that right? Clover mumbled the last few parts of the sentence but I could clearly hear it from my own two ears. I ignored whatever she just said and pretended that I didn't hear that.

"Where are your keys?"

"They are somewhere in the small pocket of my bag, I'll get it." Clover turned behind me as she got her keys from her bag and was about to walk over to open the door when I took the keys off her hand.

"Just stand there and don't move."

"Huh-" I let go of her and went to open the door before going back to her and swooped her up from the ground into my arms.

"Waaa- h-hey." I carried her into her house and set her gently down onto the couch before I went back to lock her door. Once I locked her doors safely, I went over to the couch and placed both our bags on the couch.

"Are you hungry?" I asked Clover as it had been some hours after lunch, she thought for a while before nodding her head eagerly at me. Then I guess I'll have to do some hands-on cooking for the day...

"Well, just sit here and don't move about. I'll go make something simple for you..."

"Your gonna cook~?"

"Yeah, I do know how to cook some simple things so don't need to worry about me burning your house down." Clover chuckled a little as I stood up from the sofa and turned on the tv for her to watch while she wait for her food.

I went over to the kitchen and looked through her fridge and cabinets to see what I can cook. There wasn't much but I do notice tons of different kinds of candies in the fridge and some are even in the cabinets.

"She really likes sweets a lot huh..."

"That's why I'm sweet my dear~" I jumped, hitting the fridge door as I left it open for a second. I turned back to see Clover standing by the kitchen counter, laughing at me and her joke.

I raised an eyebrow and walked over to her and lifted her Chin, making her look at me.

"Then how about you give me a little taste of that sweetness of yours~?" I joked back, making Clover flustered as her face grew red and looked away.

"Y-your not fair-"

"oh am I?" I looked down at her, her ears were bright red like her face.

"Are you gonna let me cook or do you want to eat me instead~?" I whispered into her ears, making her scramble away slowly, back to the living room couch as she hid her face behind a pillow.

"Your mean!" She shouted, pouting at me behind the pillowcase with a visible glare. Oh well, girls will be girls, I think if anyone said that to her she'd react the same way.

I returned back to the cabinets and took out some spaghetti and some tomatoes from the fridge with sausages. I guess I can make do with this for a simple spaghetti and sausage dinner.

After some minutes of boiling the spaghetti, I started cooking the tomato sauce and when I was done, I got two plates and placed the spaghetti on the plate before pouring the sauce all over it. I also boiled the sausage and placed it by the side of the plate.

I looked at my own dish and it looks not bad but I don't know about the taste...It's been a long since I've ever cooked something for someone...

"The food ready."

"Coming~!" I made my way towards Clover and helped her stand up from the couch, directing her to the dining table chair. Once she settled down on the chair, she stared at her food with wide eyes.

"Woahhh~ You cooked this?"

"What else would I have been doing in the kitchen?"

"Haha, I just haven't seen you cook before so I'm kinda surprised. It smells good~" I shook my head, taking the utensils from the utensil holder and passed them to her. Once she received the utensils, she immediately started digging into her food like a hungry ghost.

"Slow down, you might accidentally choke." I watched as Clover ate her heart out and munched on the spaghetti.

"Mhmm! It's really good~!"

"I'm glad it's good."

"Where did you learn how to cook from, you must be good at it."

"It's nothing much to compliment about, just eat your dinner." I stopped her from asking me any more useless questions and started eating my food. We ate our food in silence as always, whenever we eat together at times it's always the silence that surrounds us.

"Thank you for the delicious food and not burning my kitchen down into crisps. Haha."

"Do you think I would burn down your house?"

"That's what I thought at first since Millie and Matteo did nearly burn my kitchen down in the early mornings. I guess you're a different case." I didn't know what she was talking about but I suppose she was talking about the day where Millie suggested for a sleepover at Clover's house.

"You're being nice to me today and it's nice to see that~"

"Nice to you?"

"Yeah! You're caring for me and helped me too~ do you like me yet, even just a little bit?"

"In your dreams." I rolled my eyes at her happiness as I clicked her forehead with my fingers.

"Speaking of which, where's Clara? I haven't seen her around in the house since we got here." I have not seen Clara at home since we got here since she did say she was gonna head home first.

I looked at Clover as she was not responding to my question but she looked at me with eyes that were looking displeased anger yet with a tint of sadness in them.

"What?"

"Why are you looking for her for?"

"I'm just asking since we were walking to the infirmary to see you but she said she would rather go home instead since she guessed that you might not want to see her," I explained a little to Clover and her expression changed, her icy cold stare was staring at me like a glare.

"Yea I don't want to see her so what? If she still has a heart, she should be brave enough to come to me and tell me straight in a face with a sorry." Clover burst out before standing and slowly made her way out of the kitchen and up the stairs, into her room.

What's with her sudden change of attitude? She seems like she hates Clara a lot but what did she do to infuriate her? I sighed as I took our plates and washed them in the basin.

After I was done cleaning up, I went to off the tv since Clover had left it on before going up to her room, knocking on her door.

I waited for an answer or the door to open but like as always, the great silence replied to me instead. The quietness is really a thing about this house but the two sisters are not as quiet as they seem.

"I'm coming in!" I shouted before opening the door to Clover's room. The room was dark but not too dark, there was still some light emitting through the windows of her room.

"Her room seems neat as usual..." I mumbled out to myself as I took a look around her room and walked in.

Clover wasn't in her room but she did enter her room just now though did she? I looked around but there wasn't a single sound that I could hear my breathing in the air.

"Clover?" I called out and waited a few minutes but there was no response. Then I turned around, walking towards her door, and was ready to search the house for her when the door opened and hit my face.

I stumbled back a little, rubbing my nose and bearded with the pain. Doors can actually make me go for a nose surgery one day if I ever get hit by a door many times like this...

"Oh my god! Are you okay Zeke?!" I looked at the person that was wearing a towel around her body, with her hair wet. Turns out Clover had been in the bathroom showering.

"Yea I'm fine..." I replied, looking away from her. This girl has no awareness whatsoever...

"Let me see, I don't want you ending up with a broken nose."

"I'm really fine."

"Are you sure- Ahh!"
