CHEF BRIANNA

"Here, dry yourself up and also I hope this fits you" I said giving Eric a towel and a sport wear. I couldn't just let him go home wet, he might even end up catching cold.

I excused myself to give him the privacy he needs. I went down to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee for him while I grabbed three can of beer for myself. I went back to my room knocking to indicate I am entering.

Wow, he looked so hot on those sport wear. I got it for him the day I went shopping with Brianna but never found the right time to give it to him.

"Thanks Gia"

"That's the list I can do for making you go through troubles because me"

"Don't take Mary's words to heart okay?" I smiled at him and nodded. I went over to my bed and sat down, I don't have coach in my room so I had to invite him to sit with me.

"I will suggest you wait a little for the rain since it seems to be getting more intense"

"Yeah I probably should"

"Come sit" I said tapping the side of the bed indicating that he should sit beside me which he did.

"This must have cost you a lot, why don't you text me your account and the price, I will transfer the money to you" he said referring to the Sport wear.

"Nah, you don't have to. It suits you perfectly so you can have it, consider it a gift from me"

"Thanks but I still think I should pay for this"

"You don't have to" I said finishing the first can of beer and reached to get the second can but Eric stop me by taking it away.

"Do you always drink like this?"

"Not really but today am in a very bad mood, so can I have my drinks back?"

"No you can't, you have to come to school tomorrow and you can't if you wake up tomorrow with a hangover"

"I will be fine so let me have my drinks"

"The one you had should is enough, and besides you just got drenched by the rain, you shouldn't be taking anything cold"

"I don't really care about my health right now, you are the one that told me not to take her words to heart so let me have my drinks" I said and reached out taking it away from him.

"Yes but not by drinking"

"There is no way am going to get her words off my head since she was saying the truth. My mum died while giving birth to me, my dad never for ones cared about me. My Nana who raised me from the very first day I was brought home died when I was twelve.

Everyone I love and cares about keeps leaving one way or the other. I had to take care of myself at that age. Yeah I know the house is packed with workers but i never got that love or attention I needed from them"

"That sounds unfair"

"Yeah I thought so too,my dad only cares about his work. He just makes sure my account Always have enough money to buy me anything I want, but what I wanted the most was his attention and love"

Eric's POV

I saw how sad she was, how can a father treat his daughter like that. He must be a loser to treat the only gem his wife left for him like this. I sighed and took the last beer can and opened it for myself.

We both were quiet as we took our drinks until she sneezed. It wasn't ones or twice but continuously.

"Oh my God, I think you are coming up with cold, I told you not to take something cold but you insist on drinking a cold beer" I said scolding her.

Placing my hand on her head I figured out she was burning up.

"You are buring up" all this while she just kept staring at me.

"You know I wish I have a big brother like you, Brianna is so lucky"

"I will be your big brother so come we need to calm your temperature down"

"I know you see me as much as you do to your sister but can't I be something more?" Her question had me confused, something more, how?

"What do you mean?"

"Can't I be your girlfriend, I really like you Eric but you just keep treating me like your sister which I appreciate but I don't want that kind of treatment from you, I want more"

Her words left me speechless, there is no way I can date her, I mean she is just sixteen or fifteen is not like she knows what she wants. I can't date her because I see my sister in her whenever I see her.

I don't really think I want Brianna around any guy at this age but I had to let her do her thing, but I will always tell her the truth, relationship at this age is nothing but distraction they need to grow a little bit more.

"Gia, we need to calm your temperature down"

"Am fine just stop changing the topic, won't you accept my feelings?"

"Gia, I can't"

"Why, because of that bitch Mary" this was the first time I heard her curse. I think the beer she took is actually beginning to work.

"No is not because of her"

"Then why, am I not beautiful to your taste. Do you hate me that much?"

"I don't hate you Gia, and you are beautiful"*

"Then why?"

"Because I just can't. Give me some minutes let me rush down and see if I can get some drugs for you"

She took me by surprise when she grabbed my shirt and drawed me closer pressing her lips on mine. I was so shocked that I froze at the spot, she kept kissing and running her hands through my hair.

"Gia stop" I said and pushed her off.

"But I want this, can't you just kiss me back"

"You don't go around kissing people without their permission and also you are sixteen or is it fifteen, you don't know what you want"

"I will be sixteen in a few months and I know what I want, I want you Eric"

"I will get you the drugs and leave it with your cook, make sure you take them and don't drink too much, bye Gia"

I left the room immediately, what just happened?

Brianna's POV

"I can't believe you made me come home with you only for you to turn me into your cook"

"The doctor said I need to be taking care of and since you are the reason why my nose started bleeding at first you should take responsibility for it"

"First I don't remembered telling you to fight with Jake which caused the nose bleeding and secondly you have enough workers to do this for you"

"Wow, wow, please keep the knife before you cut me along with the onions" he said referring to the knife I was pointing at him.

I walked up to the table and continued cutting the onions and tomatoes. I can't believe he is having me make soup for him. He is so lucky I am taking a cooking tutorial online or I would have served him his death.

I was startled when I saw him standing beside me peeping into my pot of soup.

"Is either you sit down or no more soup for you"

"But I also want to help"

"I don't need your help now go and sit down" I said pointing at the dinning seat.

"I can't believe you are doing this to me"

"Well you better believe it, the only reason why am here is because is still raining heavily outside if not I wouldn't condole your nonsense. Now go sit down and stop distracting me"

"Are you saying am a distraction?"

"Yes a big one" I sighed in relief when he went away. Ones I was down with the cooking I served him and started getting ready to go since the rain has died down a little.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"No I have to go but I will like to take some with me for my brother. He loves tomato soup"

"You can take as much as you want with you but there is no way I am eating if you don't eat with me"

"It seems like you are not hungry"

"Just taste it, you can't just cook for me without tasting it and you expect me to eat it"

"I don't like tomato soup and also are you scared I might poison you or something?"

"Brianna am not asking you to eat everything with me just take one sip" I knew if I don't do as he asked he won't let me be and besides I need him to drive me home.

"Fine, one spoon of the soup and that's it" I walked over to him and took a spoon of the soup which didn't taste so bad.

"Happy?" I asked him.

"Yes but you have something here" he said pointing at my face.

"What, where?" I kept running my hands around my face trying to get whatever it is out of my face.

"Let me help you" he came close to me as I stood waiting for him to wipe whatever it is off my face but instead he placed a kiss on my lips.

"Is that it?" I asked.

"Yes but it is still remaining a little small" he kissed me again but this time deepening the kiss. I felt my legs go weak as I wrapped my hands around his neck.

I tasted the soup from his mouth and it actually tasted better than when I had it myself. Our kiss became more intensed as I rein in on him.

He wrapped his hands around my waist as he carried me up placing me on top of the dinning table. Ones again he has done it, he has casted his spell on me. When he broke the kiss we both stared at each other.

I felt him running his hands on my leg up to my laps and into my skirt. I couldn't breathe properly, every single touch came with a burning desire. He started pressing kiss on my neck.

I felt like my body was on fire, I moan his name when he sucked the skin on my neck. I run my hands in his hair and brought him more closer.

We could have gone more further but my phone rang and the spell broke. I pushed him off immediately and rushed to get my phone.

"Hello, mum. Yeah, yeah am safe am already on my way home" ones the call ended I took a container and took most of the soup with me. I tried as much as possible to stay far away from him as possible.

"Let me drop you off" Dax said for the sixth times since we started waiting for a cab.

"I told you to go back, I will find a cab myself" I know I should be taking his offer but I don't want to be close to him anymore. I don't think straight when am around him.

"I can't just leave you here by yourself" just then I saw a taxi and I waved him down.

"I will see you tomorrow Dax, make sure you take your medication"

"Call me when you get home, okay?"

"I will" I sighed immediately the driver took off, am glad is over.
