Kara rushed into the house with bags in hand and headed straight for the kitchen. In no time, she returned with a glass of iced water.
"Please have a seat. Dinner will be ready soon, I promise!"
Kara said, then quickly went back to the kitchen.
Within minutes, the sounds of clashing knives and chopping filled the air, as well as the sound of things being chopped.
The noise was so loud that it could have been mistaken for a sword fight between two famous warriors.
"..."
Jack took a sip of the iced water in silence to calm down. As a master chef, he could easily tell that Kara had never cooked before.
Jack was touched by what she did, but he was curious about why Kara asked him to dinner and cooked it herself.
Well, it might not be quite right to say that she cooked.
While Jack pondered, Kara was struggling with her thoughts in the kitchen.
She felt like she had gone crazy.
Originally, she had only planned to take Jack to a cheap restaurant she knew. But somehow, she ended up bringing him home.
Before this, besides Winn, she had never brought any other man to her house.
Let alone at this time.
Kara couldn't even bear to be in the same room with Jack, so she stayed in the kitchen.
As for cooking...
She glanced outside secretly, took out her phone, and searched for recipes.
Cooking shouldn't be too difficult, right?
Bang!
Jack was sitting on the couch in the living room, thinking about whether or not he should go to the kitchen and help.
Just then muffled sound and a thick cloud of black smoke came from the kitchen.
"Kara!"
Jack instantly rushed to the kitchen door and looked inside.
Kara stood frozen in front of the gas stove, holding a bottle of olive oil in one hand and a frying pan in the other.
The black smoke was coming from the frying pan.
And Kara's skin, which used to be white, was now black with smoke.
"I... I just wanted to... fry some bacon."
Kara blinked her big eyes, looking at Jack with a pitiful expression, which only added to the comedy of the situation.
"Hehe."
Jack couldn't help but laugh. He brought a wet towel from the bathroom, took her hand, and gently wiped the stains from her face.
Luckily, Kara was a Kryptonian, so this little accident did more to shock her than hurt her physically.
Kara stood there and let Jack help her. Her eyes were as bright as stars as she looked up at him.
He, too, did not hesitate to look back at her, and he moved his hands as he lovingly wiped away a small black mark on her neck.
"Do you remember when we first met? You bumped into me and dirtied my clothes."
Jack put down the towel and leaned on the kitchen counter behind Kara, their distance just a few centimeters apart.
"It happened just yesterday, but I always feel like we've known each other for a long time."
Jack's throat dried up, and he could not stop leaning forward and pushing his body against Kara's warm body.
"Do you feel the same way, Kara?"
An intense masculine aura enveloped them as Jack's warm breath brushed against Kara's face, making her feel dizzy.
She tried to escape, but she did not want to leave this man's arms for even a second.
Kara looked at Jack in a daze. For a moment, her eyes were filled with confusion.
"I think... I should... Can I?"
Jack whispered softly, and while Kara was not sure what to say, their lips met, starting an intense kiss.
She did not even realize that her hands were already on his back. Kara had lost her sense of where she was, but the voice was still there.
Hold him tightly!
Kiss him!
Love him!
...
Jack felt how intense Kara's response was, and he jumped straight into the moment.
A few minutes later.
"No! No!"
With a start, Kara regained her composure. She was panting and had her hands firmly holding someone's roaming hands under her clothes.
"I'm sorry,"
Jack awkwardly withdrew his hand.
"I... got carried away. I apologize."
"No, it's not that. I'm just... not ready yet,"
Kara shook her head, explaining softly,
"Oh my, we've only known each other for a day."
Seemingly afraid of misunderstandings, Kara continued,
"I mean... I have feelings for you, but... maybe we should get to know each other first, okay?"
"Okay,"
Jack looked at Kara, who had her head lowered like an ostrich, and smiled.
He said, "We have plenty of time to slowly get to know each other."
"Huh?"
Kara tried to understand his words but was pushed out of the kitchen by Jack before she could fully process them.
If she kept cooking, they might not even have dinner, let alone be able to save the house.
Half an hour later, dinner was ready.
Jack made Italian pasta, braised potatoes, bacon, black pepper sauce, and perfectly seared sirloin steak to ensure that Kara would enjoy the meal.
And, of course, a delicious meal like this would not be complete without a bottle of 82 Lafite.
"Mmm! It's delicious!"
Kara seemed to have completely forgotten about the kitchen incident and couldn't stop eating the pasta.
Jack calmly sliced the steak and placed the neatly cut pieces on a plate in front of Kara.
"Try this steak,"
Jack suggested, and Kara nodded, picking up a piece with her fork and taking a bite.
"Mmm~"
The instant the flavors danced on her taste buds, Kara couldn't help but close her eyes in pleasure, a contented smile on her face, resembling a mischievous little cat who had just stolen a fish.
During the meal, Jack looked happy as he watched Kara eat. Her eating habits did not bother him at all.
In front of delicious food, Kara showed her true self.
Jack sometimes told funny stories that made Kara laugh until she could not stop. Her stare at him grew more and more loving.
Both of them silently agreed, not to mention what happened earlier, as if it had never happened.
After a warm and enjoyable dinner, Jack politely said goodbye.
"Kara, remember what I said. We have plenty of time to understand each other."
As Jack walked to the apartment's door, he looked at Kara, who came to see him off and smiled mysteriously.
"????"
Before she could ask him what he meant, Jack got into a taxi and drove away.
Kara watched the leaving car, deep in thought, as she returned home.
She thought about the meaning behind Jack's words.
However, the next morning, she understood.
Ding-dong~
Early in the morning, before Kara was fully awake, the doorbell rang.
Due to the things that happened last night, Kara hadn't slept well.
She tossed and turned as she thought about what had happened in the kitchen. She felt like she was in a dream.
She was daze when the doorbell rang, but she got up to answer it. In her mind, she thought that Alex must be coming at this time.
But when she opened the door, she realized it wasn't Alex standing there, but...
"Breakfast is here."
