It's hot!!!

"I want to cook for Jason today".

I said with a smile on my face.

"But ma'am, if he sees you here, he'll get angry".

One of the maids said. I sighed loudly and then tried to assure them that it'd all be fine.

"It's fine. He won't do anything and don't think of persuading me anymore".

I said letting them know I won't leave without cooking.

"Fine, but let us help".

I shook my head rejecting their offer.

"I want to do it on my own, I'll be fine".

I said and when they realized they could not persuade me, they left.

I was so excited to finally do something for him. It was nothing special or huge but I was doing it and it made me happy.

I didn't make anything serious, I just made the things I was used to cooking. I made rice and a lot of side dishes. I was pretty good at cooking but I made a dish I had made countless times as I did not want to make any mistakes.

Jason came back from the office before Nadia finished cooking and when he got back, he saw a maid in the living room. She looked so scared as she welcomed him home.

"Where is Nadia"?

He asked and the lady took a peek at him before bowing back. She was so scared to tell him that she was in the kitchen.

"Did you suddenly go mute"?

He asked in a calm but cold voice.

"I'm... I'm sorry sir. She... she is in the kitchen".

Jason raised a brow when he heard what the maid said.

'What is she doing in the kitchen'?

Jason asked himself as he walked past the maid and made his way to the kitchen.

When he got to the kitchen, he saw his woman in a kitchen apron on her body and a food mask around her mouth.

She was so serious with her cooking that she didn't even notice him at all.

He was surprised to see her cooking. But why? She could have just ordered the maids to prepare what she wanted.

It looked like she was making something spicy as she was slightly coughing.

"Oush... this is going to be hot".

She said but one could see the smile written all over her face.

"I'm so sorry sir, the young miss said she wanted to make dinner for you".

The head maid rushed to Jason when she heard he had arrived and immediately tried to explain the situation to him.

When Jason heard that she was doing all this for him, he smiled brightly. Knowing she'd go to this extent for him even though it was just preparing a meal, meant a lot to him.

Without bothering her, he went upstairs to take a shower. He had planned to come home and rest. He was not planning to eat at all but now, he would eat absolutely everything she places on the table.

I was soon done with dinner and it was time to set the table. This time around, the maids insisted on helping so I agreed.

The table was full but not excessive as I did not make so much. I just wanted him to eat something nice and knowing Jason, I know he doesn't eat much. I did not want him to feel pressured.

I noticed he has been stressed lately so I added tuna as a side dish, knowing how good it was at relieving stress. I also placed berries on the table since they were good for stress reduction and they were light fruits.

Aside from the rice, I made a hot pot. I was not sure if he'd be able to handle the spicy nature and I actually made it for myself but I put it on the table in case.

I made other side dishes like mixed beef, fried chicken nuggets, Parmesan potato wedges, roasted vegetables, steamed eggs, french green beans, and some other side dishes.

Looking at it, I smiled a bit satisfied. Now the only thing missing was Jason.

I was still looking at the entrance of the house when I noticed someone coming down from the stairs. I turned to see who it was and it was none other than the person I had been waiting for.

He looked so handsome with his hair down. The stress on his face made him look like a cute puppy.

"Huh? When did you come back"?

I asked surprised that he was already back. He smiled as he had gotten in front of me already.

"You were so busy, I didn't want to disturb you".

My eyes opened up and so did my mouth.

"You saw me in the kitchen"?

He smiled lightly and nodded. His smile made me smile as well. He was just too good-looking.

"You should eat before it gets cold".

He nodded and we went to the dining room. His meal was already in front of him so I didn't have to do any serving.

I waited for him to start eating to see his reaction but he showed nothing and just kept munching everything down his throat.

I was happy because it didn't look like he was forcing it and he was eating so well. This was the first time I was seeing him eat this well.

Jason was a bit worried about her cooking but he was determined to eat whatever she gave. Looking at how full the table was, he got a bit scared. He didn't want to hurt her but he was worried about his taste buds.

He started with the safest option which was the rice in front of him and then, the soup. When he tried the soup, it was actually really nice. He loved it. He then began eating everything curiously and to his surprise, they were all so good he could not stop eating.

He ate with happiness till he took a spoon of the hot pot. As soon as it touched his tongue, he knew he was in trouble.

The spoon he was holding fell to the table, drawing Nadia's attention.

"Are you okay"?

She asked seeing how blank he was.

"It's hot... Ahh!! It's hot!!"
