Chapter 27

"I'm going to get some sleep", Sebastian grumbled as he held his hurt arm to his side and went up the stairs. " how can an old woman fucking beat me like that"he mumbled to himself.

She beat both of us and my case was just sad. I couldn't even come close to her to land a hit.

I chuckle as i follow him up and go to my room. I have a quick shower before i dress up and enter the kitchen to make a sandwich. I grab the jar of nutella, a plate, a knife and bread and place them on the kitchen counter to start making my yummy goodness when Casper enters the kitchen.

"Hey" he murmurs as he snakes his arms around my waist from behind and kisses my shoulder. I smile "hey back to you"

"How was training with Dakota?"

I groan and throw my head back. He spins me around and steps back to watch me with a smile on his face "It was so stressful. She had Sebastian and I fight her and for an old woman, she sure can kick ass .I wasn't even able to lay a finger on her."

He chuckles "I bet you couldn't fight me"

"I'm not even going to fight you on this one" I groan.

He looks over my shoulder to the incredible ingredients of the world renowned famous nutella sandwich. He frowns, "And you're gonna survive on that for the rest of the afternoon?"

I shrug "told you yesterday that I couldn't cook. Didn't you listen to what I said last night"

He started moving around the kitchen "trust me,I did listen to every single thing you said last night and luckily for you, I like you and I can cook" he tells me and flips the pot before placing it on the gas cooker.

"Do you have an idea on what to cook?" I ask as I hopped on the counter.

"I could make you the pesto pasta with roasted asparagus"

"You really don't have to"

"Or I could bake something"

"You didn't tell me that you baked also"

He shrugs "probably forgot" he said and started moving around the kitchen collecting ingredients.

"My grandparents would love you"

He chuckles "why?"

"You knowing how to cook is reason enough for them to over love you and they'll also probably try to get you fat"

"Javier is living proof that they can get me fat,he gained a few pounds just from eating at your grandparents house for a night"

"I was so scared that they would over-feed him and noel is also proof that my grandparents can feed you till you're so fat. I'll show old pictures of fat noel if I find them because my grandparents fed him way to much.I used to feel like Hansel who was getting fattened whenever we went to visit"

"I'm sure you were a chubby child"

I glare at him playfully "I swear I wasn't"

"I'll find pictures" he states.

"And I'll find your pictures"

He smirked at me "they are at my parents old house and you don't know where that is"

"So you admit you were chubby"

"I did not say that"

"I will find out sooner or later"

He hisses in pain and I hop of the counter and rush to him. He's cradling his hand close to his chest.

"Let me see it" I urge as I take hold of his injured hand.

He shakes his head and just looks at the cut "it's okay don't worry"

I frown and forcefully take his hand to look at it "it's not that deep,it'll heal" he says and takes back his hand before picking up the knife.

"No. I'm cutting the meat. You go sit down,I'll call for your attention when I'm done"

He looks like he's about to argue bit he doesn't, "keep an eye on the boiling pasta" he says and takes a seat on a stool.

"I know I can't cook but I obviously won't mess up boiling pasta"

He smirks "says the girl who ruined boiled egg"

"I swear it's not that easy to make boiled egg."

"Mhmmmm. I hear you"

I frown "I regret telling you about that yesterday"

"We're gonna do that again"

"Talk all night again?"

"Correction-make out and talk all night"

I roll my eyes and bite my lips "stupid' i murmur under my breath. I concentrate on the meat that I'm cutting into tiny pieces.

"Don't cut yourself Odetta" he chuckles.

I spin around and point the knife in his direction "I . will . stab . you"

He just laughs at me "relax,I was just checking to see if we still got the spark"

I resist the urge to laugh and continue trying to cut the pieces very carefully and slowly. I could feel him staring at me as I worked and I got so nervous,I didn't want to mess up when he was paying close attention and I hoped that I looked okay.

"Done" I tell him and turn off the fire for the pasta. He hops off the stool and walks towards me. He inspects the cut meat and smiles at me. "Well done,it is perfectly cut. Didn't think you could do some form of cooking to save a life but you can"

I could slap this idiot "I can make omelettes and coffee"

He scoffs "like that's actual food"

"I'm leaving this kitchen if you don't stop teasing"

He grabs my wrist and pulls me closer "okay, okay, I'm sorry. I'll stop"

"Better" I grumble.

He's almost done with the food,just waiting for it to cook a little and he comes in between my legs as I'm sitting on the countertop.

"Do you even have a pack?" I murmur as he plays with my hair.

"I'm the alpha of northern part of the capital"

"That's impressive but I'm sure it's tiresome"

"I get complaints from all four divisions every single day and it takes more than victor,Isabella and I to cover every single one of those complaints"

I shrug " I can help"

He stops playing with my hair and looks at me. I clear my throat "or I could just leave it. You might not need my help anyways"

"No it's okay. I would love it if you did help"

"Ohhhh I thought that you might not need me"

"But I have to warn you,it's stressful"he says and continues playing with my hair. The timer goes off and he pulls away to check on the food.

He then pulls out two plates and plops the pesto pasta and rotated asparagus on each plate before he stick a fork into them. I hop off the counter and sit on a stool as Casper places the plate of food in front of me and takes a seat beside me.

"So I was thinking of taking you out"

I swallow the food I had in my mouth "on a date?"

"Yeah if you want to call it that" he sounded so nervous.

I smile "depends...where are you taking me to?"

"I'm not telling"

"I'm not going to beg you Casper"

"And I wasn't looking forward to you doing that"

"But I don't have anything to wear to a date. It's been years since I last went for something like that"

He frowns and looks at me.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"No no. It's just that—"He starts and he takes hold of my free hand sitting on the table "—I promise to do everything in my power to make this work and to make you happy"
