"I couldn't handle being one more second in that car listening to that music" Sam slams the car door while of us step gently outside

"Oh cmon 80s rock" Miguel says opening the trunk of the car

"Leave her, we just know who doesn't have good ass music taste" Eli reaches in the trunk for the bags of groceries

"Guns n Roses is no where near good" Sam was soon about to start a war this time over music

"Good to talk shit but shit to throw hands" Eli says

"Save it for the mat guys" Moon says closing the trunk while both Eli and Miguel have their hands full with groceries

"I guess it's cooking time" I sigh in utter disappointment

We all walk into the house where everyone is either, playing board games or decorating a bit more around the house.

"If you need any help call us or maybe don't" Moon says laughing walking away into the living room where mostly everyone is at. I walk into the pantry to get everything I will need from herbs, seasonings, vegetables. Taking my time I hear some distinct talking not to quiet but loud enough for the chatter to travel back to the pantry.

"Did you get it"

"Yea of course I did"

"Don't let her see it"

"Are you sure about this"

"Not really"

I walk out the pantry looking into the hallway to see who's conversation I was eavesdropping in. I see Eli and Miguel both heading towards the stairs leading up to the rooms. I ignore what's going on and maybe i'm just reading too much into their privet conversation.

I grab the apron hanging and tie it around my waist. I assemble everything and begin to prepare the food, I prop my phone up taking a photo of me pouring in oil into a bowl to post on instagram, a few hours go by and i'm almost done yet very exhausted of cooking. Eli walks into the kitchen as i'm reading the instructions for a pie.

"Peach pie huh" Eli placed his hand leaning on the counter

"It's a favorite of mine" I smile at Eli who's looking directly into my eyes

"I bet" Eli leans over to my ear whispering

"P-peaches is my favorite fruit" I stutter saying, the timer went off letting me know the mac and cheese in the oven is done

I step away from the counter meaning I stepped away from Eli, who's eyes never left me. I moved to the oven putting the mitts on in order to get the dish off the oven. I place the hot dish on top of the stove next to the green beans, and cooked chicken. I take the mittens off placing them next to the chicken taking a deep breath knowing i'm just half way done.

"Time for desert" I tie my hair up before starting on the pie

"I got it" Eli says in back of me untying the knot of the apron

"What? No" I quickly turn around

"I'm not that bad of a baker you know" Eli smirks

"Not that, I just have a certain way of doing it" I smile

"Teach me your ways" Eli gently smiles

"It's not an easy process nor a short one" I pass him going back to the baking station I set up

"Oh come on like spending a little time with me will hurt..plus we haven't had any time alone" Eli slowly yet quietly says

Any time alone...Any time alone....Any time alone...Any time alone...Any time alone...Any time alone. 

Any Time Alone

It wouldn't stop replaying in my mind, in the certain specific way he did. Every second that I am with him I just fall more profusely into a pool filled with these crazy, confusing yet pleasing feelings.

"What do you say" Eli breaks my thought of train

"Hm? Oh yea sure.." I smile back at him

"Go get a apron..I like you in a apron" Once I said that Eli smiled back at me in pure happiness

Just how he likes my cooking, I sure do like him in anything and everything he can possibly wear. Eli walks back to me putting the apron over his head.

"Put some music on, everyone is off in their rooms" Eli requests while turning on the faucet

"I promise you this time we will do more baking than dancing" Eli dries his hands with a towel laying down near the sink

"Funny" I laugh realizing it wasn't just a dream I was living when him and I were dancing

I shuffle my playlist and thankfully Lauryn Hill comes on..."Tell Him".

"Kneed the dough would ya" I point to the bowl that has dough

"On it" Eli assures me

"Tell him I need him, Tell him I love him" After a few moments I start singing the words to the song so quietly to myself.

"Kind words of you to say to me" Eli jokes around

"What" My eyes fly wide open as I drop the small knife on the cutting board not comprehending what Eli said

"Tell him I need him" Eli repeats

"Oh the song ahah" I laugh nervously in embarrassment knowing that just happened

Half hour goes by and Eli and I are both done with the pie

"Put it in the oven" I hand the mitts over to Eli

"Just be careful don't burn yourself" I inform Eli

Eli bends at an angle placing the raw pie into the heating oven, he stands back up straight taking off the mittens revealing his hands which has veins traveling up and down. My breath being taken away by the simple yet so hot trail of veins on Eli's hands.

"Thanks for helping me with the pie, I can't wait to get my hands on it" I laugh wiping down the counter

"Mia.." Eli says

"Eli-" I soon get cut off my Moon

"It smells..frigging delicious here" Moon says admiring the smell of the food flooding the kitchen

"I have to go get ready" Eli says backing up taking off his apron and hanging it on the hanger walking off to the stairs

"Did I interrupt something" Moon said concerned pointing at Eli walking up the stairs

"Nothing at all" I say brushing off that maybe Eli would have asked something or perhaps tell me something important

"Hey look that way" Moon says fast and points towards the hallway

"What happened" I turn immediately

"I see nothing" I turn back around to the sight of Moon briskly putting some mac and cheese into her mouth

"I'm sorry" Moon says sadly

"Moon" I laugh at her yet trying to sound mad

"I'll repay you..come on let's go get you ready" Moon grabs my hand pulling me towards the stairs while i'm covered in all sorts of condiments, seasonings, oils.
