“So I am your girlfriend now?” Nina teased me.

“Would you mind?” I took it seriously. Yeah. That is how desperate I am to get her back. To take our love back. To take everything back. To take it back.

She was silent and it got awkward. I was the one who broke the silence.

“So what is for dinner?” I asked to break the silence.

“Well, I took the liberty on cooking a favorite dish of yours. To celebrate on you doing a good job at living life.” She smiled as if nothing had happen.

“Psssh. You made me do this Nina, I should give you an award for this.” I retorted as I put a spoonful of the dish to my mouth.

We ate our food and I got to get for seconds. Her cooking is just close to heaven. Nina got to tell about her day in her café. Well, she really love that café. I got to tell her about my day too, it was boring as usual. You know office works and I told her that I was planning on just to sleep all day tomorrow because it was a day off.

After some time we finished eating and I just blurted out what was inside my head.

“Nina, you did it again.” I continued.

“Did what?” she responded but I think she knew what I am trying to say.

“All I could say is thank you for everything Nina. My life is a mess without you.” I said.

I got the plates to wash and she looking at me. We were very silent. I felt I had nothing else to say. I think she also felt the same way too. As I finished washing the dishes, I looked directly at her.

“I’ll take it back. I want to take everything back.” She said. I was dumbfounded. I think I knew what she wanted. But I wanted the confirmation. I want the words coming from her.

“What do you want back Nina? The food you made me eat? Just wait for it to digest, I’ll give it back to you” I said jokingly with a wink. I did this to make the mood light.

She looks at me disgusted.

“That is disgusting Tom.”

“So what do you want to take back? The dirty dishes? Cause I can make it dirty again.” I said with a smile.

“Uhhhhhg.” She plopped her head on the counter with her arms.

“iwuntateykyubak” she mumbled with her head faced down on the counter.

“What?” I asked. I got some words from what she mumbled but I don’t want to have my hopes up. “What did you said?” I sat on the chair next to her and faced her.

She sat straight and faced me too. She and her chair was in between my legs. I held her hand and tried to catch her eyes. She is looking elsewhere but me.

“I…” she trailed off. “I want to take…” she continued. “You back.” I was lost in words. “I want to take you back Tom.” She finally looked into my eyes and what I did was held her cheeks and kissed her.

I felt her smile on my lips. This is the taste I remembered. This is the taste of my love.
