Few years of my life

Who is making dinner?

*  *  *
She was super nice. She even told me the best supermarkets that are nearby, and also some other shops nearby. When we finished buying food, we went to the coffee shop and ordered iced coffee. We had trouble about who is paying, but she said that since i am making dinner she will be paying. After that we headed to my apartment and we put the groceries away. She suggested that we should drink our coffee first before making dinner. As we were talking about out lives we got closer. Ella was just a friend you would want to be your neighbor. Honestly, she was super nice and sweet. There was a calming and cheerful vibe that she carried even though at first look the tats and sporty body type would make you think differently. After some time of talking and drinking the amazing coffee, to be honest i have never had better coffee in my life, we decided that it was time for dinner. And we started...

After 2h, the meat was well done and juicy and all the veggies were roasted to perfection and seasoned well.
-,,Okay, this is de-li-cious, never had better dinner that i prepared for myself, but i do need to thank you for not letting me burn the veggies.,,-I said to her as i was eating the nicely placed food on our plates.
-,, No need to thank me darling, bc you ARE an amazing cook yourself. You did the meat absolutely right."- She smiled at me softly.
I blushed. That's it. I got red like a crab, there is no way she didn't notice it, but thank god, in that moment my phone buzzed. It was Mark.

ey darling, how are you doing, i am sorry but i couldn't text you earlier. Call me when you can.
I excused myself and went to call him. I probably overreacted and made myself and him upset too.
- Hello sweetie. How are you? - he answered.
- Hey, i am good, i am having lunch with my neighboor. How are you? - i aksed.
- Oh that sounds amazing, making friends already, i am okay. And i wanted to invite you to my house tonigh. I will be alone and i am making sushi. - he proposed the idea.
- That sounds wonderful, i'll be there. What time? - i agreed.
- Around six will be a good time. - he siad.
- Okay, but i am am picking the movie this time. - i was determined to make him watch some of my favourite movies he hasn't seen yet.
- We have a deal then. See you soon, bye. - and he ended the call.
I returned back to the table.
And we really had a good time eating and chating about life. I was sure we would be best friends by like, tomorrow. After an hour she decided to go home and rest. But of course she first helped me to do the dishes. She was so sweet and i loved that she is somewhat presistent with helping me, i do really enjoy when Mark does that too. And with that thought i remeberd, i need to get ready.
When six o'clock came i was already infront of his house. Wasn't i? Because i think i got lost. He did sent me a location that is different from his house, but this wasn't a house it was literally a mansion. I called him and he opened the gates for me. As soon as i parked i asked where were we and he told me this was his parents house. He was apparelty visiting for a few days cus his parents were out of town. And he decicded to have me over. Well that was sweet of him, i thought as we were entering the living room and then the dinning hall. The rooms weren't so big as they were tall, taller than 4 meters. But everything inside felt like it was made to surve only one purpose, that being to decorate this house. Looking from the front you wouldn't notice how big the house was, but when you were inside it made you feel like you were in a doll house. Even though everything looked nice the kitchen was a mess from the dinner that was already served at the table. I chukelled. He asked me why am i smiling at him and i told him that it was funny how not olny the kitchen was splattered with food all over, his shirt and pants were too. He said he didn't noticed and proceed to take his shirt off and ask me if the mess bothered me less now. I was stunned but gave him a big smile and said yep. He smiled back and pulled a chair out for me, i thanked him and sat down. He grabbed my favourite red wine, poured in both of our glasses and sat across from me.
We had a nice meal and talked. We even discussed about last night. He was sweet and once againg explained everything that happend and that put my mind to ease.
After we finished eating we went to the living room to watch the movie. I just then realised that i am in the most basic sweatpants and shirt, with my hair in a neat bun, the problem was that around me everything was fancy and expensive looking, so i wasn't feelind very comfortabe. And plus the movie was on, but the only thing that he was really looking at was me. It made me feel special when i wanted to glance over him and he was already looking at me. I mean, those eyes of his were just beautiful and all i wanted to do was look at them. They were warmer than the sun. And then he softly smiled and kissed my forehead while we both hugged thightly. Of course every beautiful moment needs to be ruined by either a phone call or a door bell, this one was with both. He went to check the door and i answered my phone. It was mom and she was asking me how was i doing, after telling her that i am okay and at Mark's place she said that she needs to go on a date with dad and will call me tomorrow. Yep, they were to this day going on dates at least ones a week, and that did keep them from fights more than anything. They found out that going out and having a dinner or doing something new together kept them closer to each other and they noticed that the small fights would more often if not dissaper at all when thay talked or spent more time alone. They were doing this after my 10th birthday, when they got in a huge fight and their friends made them to go on a date again. I am forever thankfull for that, and of coure they had visited a couples therapist, but soon decided that they were better if they just talked more. And that was basically it, since then they did had big fights but they would often end up in just them hugging and compromising 5 minutes later. I loved how they taught me and my brother to do the same with our relationships too. They really did say the secret was speaking instead of assuming. And i did try to do that last night but i think i was very stressed to think properly. Still i need to apologise. And here he comes back, but not alone? As he entered, a tall, but not taller than him even in heels, brunnete woman was walking by his side. She was wearing a tight black dress that was a bit revealing without any jaket on. She introduced herself.
- Oh hello, i did not expect anyone to be here, but i am Stacy. -she said.
Oh hell NAH. This absolute piece of-
- This is the girl that i was on dinner with last night honey. Remember? - Mike interupted me.
- Ah yes, you told me about it, hello my name is Maya, Mark's girlfriend. - i spoke.
Then she started talking to Mike again and didn't even looked at me once. She was being annoying and wanted to work on the project with Mark tonight. But i can see that she was only staring at his shirtless body, which drove me mad. I wanted to just tell her to go home since we both wanted to rest and not hear her bullshit but Mark suddenly agreed to go over the project one more time and he was very precise when he said that. So of course she agreed, how could she not. They sat down on the couch and Stacy openned her computer. From that moment until the end of the presentation she acted like she wanted to eat him with her eyes. I could not watch her how she was looking at him and talking so seductivdly towards him and was full on ignoring the hell out of my existance. Finally after 20 minutes they went over everything breefly and Mark told her that that was everything she needed to know and that they would talk more at work. At this point i felt like steam was coming out of my head due to her flirting and smiling at him. No i am defenitly not jelaous, i am just annoyed that she did all that while i was in the same room watching her. Like, if i was not there, i mean, i get it, Mark is extremly good looking and amazing guy, very polite and just overall sweet. She decided to go home after Mark told her that they are ready for Monday. And he went to see her out and say bye.
When he came back i was still pretty pissed and i don't think i hid it well enought since he asked me what's wrong. I just said noting and countinued watching the movie. He paused it and i imidietly asked why.
- I know you are upset because she came here, but i promise you that i did not tell her to come here nor to bother me at all. And am sorry for making you wait. - he explained.
- I am not mad at you, i am mad at how she acted while i was literally next to her. - i told him.
- So you are saying that you disaproved of how she looked and talked to me? -he asked me.
- Well, i guess so. - i answered
- Do you know what would that mean? That someone is.. - he said that and got very close to me and my face, then countinued - ...jealous... - he finished his sentence and was even closer to me then before. I was just sitting there and not moving an inch. There was a complete silence for few seconds. I was not sure wether we would kiss me or not, but i sure wasn't going to do anything. I was just staring at his eyes and then he just pulled away a bit. As soon as i thought he wasnt going to do anything he grabbed me by my face and pulled me so fast and close to his face that i closed my eyes since our lips were just few milimeters apart. I could feel that he was so close yet he wansn't doing anything. He was staying still, and i decided to open my eyes. Big mistake, he was already looking at me like he was wanting and waiting for me to do the exact same thing. But he only smiled and let me go. I was confused, why would he do that, i expected... i wanted him to kiss me, but he didn't. And my face just showed my dissapointed, he chukeled and hugged me, while he apologised.
