"Ako na sabi."


Pinilit kong kunin sa kanya ang mixing bowl na ginagamit ko pero itinaas niya lamang ito lagpas sa knayang ulo. I tip-toed to reach his hand but I can't! I'm not that small but he is so tall! He is surely over six feet! And with that physique? Oh, he can fight.


"Everett, akin na sabi eh!" pagmamaktol ko. 


Kahit mukha na kong tanga kaka-abot sa mangkok ay ginawa ko pa rin. Hindi pwedeng aakuin niya na lang lagi ang mga trabaho ko! Tiningala ko siya at pilit pa ring kinukuha ito. Nakatingin lamang siya sa akin habang nakangiti.


"What?" I hissed, still trying to reach his hand.


Tinalon-talon ko na ito at tuwang-tuwa pa siya na nahihirapan ako. I touched his chest when I hold for support when I almost fell from my last jump. Napatanga ako. Bakit ang tigas naman? May bato ba siya sa damit?


He was just stunned as I am. That made him lower his arm and I took that opportunity to steal the bowl. He groaned when he realized what I did.


"Ako ang gagawa nito, okay? You asked for cookies, I will bake cookies," I stated with determination.


He smirked. "I said I want cookies. I didn't ask you to do it."


"But I can, so I will!" 


His smirk turns into a challenging one, "You don't even know how."


He got me there. Mukhang madali lang naman 'yon kaya kayang-kaya ko 'to.


"There's a recipe book," I said in defense.


He leaned on the island and gestured his hand, "Be my guest then. But if I see one wrong move, I will interfere."


I shrugged. Fine by me! I can just do this easily.


The problem is I can't do it properly while he's watching me. His disappointed murnurs are distracting me! Natatakot tuloy akong magkamali.


"That's it." Lumapit ito sa akin. I laughed because I knew the frustration is getting to him. But he didn't say anything but correct me calmly. "You should sift the flour first and set aside the dry mixture."


He stepped closer to me. I can feel his presence behind me.  My breathing hitched when he grabbed a saucepan beside me. I thought he's hugging me. He noticed my reaction. He cleared his throat and fixed his posture. Damn!


He taught me the step-by-step process on how to bake cookies. I commend his patience because I kept messing up, but he just laughs off my mistakes.
