Timing
T A T E
By six fifty-seven in the evening, someone rang my doorbell. I hurriedly walked to it and fixed myself first before opening it.
There stands Eli with a huge smile on his face and a bottle of wine on his hand. "Hi. I'm three minutes early." He says.
I chuckle. "Hey. It's fine. Come in." I widened the door for him and he walks inside my house.
"Wow. You have a lovely home Tate." He complimented.
"Ah, thanks. I haven't been here since... I don't know.. June?" I shrug. "I'll take that wine?"
He hands it to me and accepted it with both hands. "I haven't done making the pasta though. Is pasta fine with you?" I asked.
"Sure. Let me help you around the kitchen."
I hear his footsteps following me to the kitchen and as soon as I placed the wine inside the fridge, Eli was already standing by the kitchen counter. "I didn't know you cook." He says.
