episode 26

Cali's Pov:

I sniffed and quickly wiped my tears as he stood by the door.

I'm so dead. I'm dead.

He started walking in but paused when he saw his cloth on the floor.

Oh! Sh*t!!

I felt like slapping my head at that moment.

He sighed and approached me, his eyes fixed on the burnt bread.

"I'm....I'm so sorry. I...

I didn't know it was burning. It...it seems there's something wrong with the gas" I stuttered and sniffed in the tears.

Surprisingly, he scoffed and stood in front of the kitchen table.

First, he took the bread and trashed it.

"Get me some carrots" he said icily and although, I was confused, I didn't dare delay.

I hurried to one of the refrigerators and brought out some carrots, handing them to him.

And right in front of my eyes, he chopped them perfectly.

Okay....what's he doing? Is he tryna make the meal himself or what?

Or he's cooking up a way to punish me?

"Onions?" He mumbled and I quickly reached for the onions and handed them to him.

My sniffles were beginning to die off and I didn't notice.

He chopped the rest of the things needed and when he was done, he broke the eggs into the bowl.

'You can go ahead and wash the shirt" he said and I sluggishly nodded and left.

Oh my! He was actually making the meal himself!!!

I walked to the door, picked the shirt from the floor and left the kitchen afterwards.

Oh! Cali. I couldn't believe I cried simply because I burnt a guy's food - a guy that's not even my boyfriend. He's handsome tho 🤧🤧🤧

Handsome devil.

I don't know why the first guy I really like has to be this mean.

I got into the bathroom and washed the shirt, then spread it afterwards for drying.

I had no idea if it was neat or not because I couldn't remember the last time I washed something.

When I was done, I decided to check up on Miquel in the kitchen to be sure everything was fine. I wouldn't want him getting angry that I didn't check up on the mess I created.

I returned to the kitchen and discovered he was already done. Wow!

And...Oh! He actually made two this time around. Although, they looked pretty good and appetizing, but I wondered if they'd taste same.

I stood behind him, enjoying the view. But he turned around with the plate of toast and I felt a heavy thud in my heart.

I quickly took my eyes to the floor and bowed my head, making way for him to pass on.

He started walking away - which was towards my direction. But surprisingly, when he got to where I was, he stopped and proffered one of the toasts to me.

I looked at him in awe and confusion, wondering what he was doing.

Why was he holding out the bread to me?

"You can have it" he finally answered the question I had in mind and my eyes widened in shock as I slowly reached for it and collected it.

Huh??? Is he really giving it to me??

Oh my God!

He walked away afterwards, leaving me dumbstruck.

I weakly ambled to the kitchen table in the room and leaned on it, staring at the bread in my hand.

I still can't believe this.

I slowly took a bite and hummed in ecstasy.

Oh my!!

Holy Crap!!?

It was damn delicious!!

I licked my hands when I was done eating and wished I could get another piece.

This Miquel guy Is really weird, huh? How come he can cook this perfectly?

I washed my hands and decided to check him up in the bedroom.

I got in and met him in front of the mirror, fixing his upper buttons.

For the first time in 48 hours, I felt butterflies in my tummy as I gazed at him.

Good Lord!

Calling him handsome at that moment would be an offense. He was far beyond Charming.

His hair, eyes, lips, body structure. He just looked extremely handsome at that moment and when he turned to look at me, I felt an increase In my blood rate.

Despite how dark his eyes were, they had this uncanny way of piercing into the depth of one's inner soul.

Mere words couldn't describe it.

For the first time, I couldn't control my gaze - I couldn't stop myself from staring directly at him.

I didn't even care if there was a punishment or not.

He sighed and took his eyes from me.

"Come along with the bag" he said and started walking to the door and that was when I regained my senses and blinked rapidly.

I scoured my eyes round and found the big bag on the bed.

Hold on...

Are we going out???
