Chapter 9

I started cutting the chicken and Bruce said "I'm gonna head back to my office." I said "Ok." He went back up stairs and Wanda walked into the kitchen. I turned to her and said "Hey Wanda! Have a good rest?" She nodded and walked towards me. She stood next to me and said "Can I help you cook?" I said "Of course you can!" She smiled and said "I can do the pasta while you do the chicken." I smiled and said "Sounds like a plan!" She went to the pasta started stirring it. I finished cutting the chicken and grabbed some flower. I put the chicken in the flower and then grabbed some chili powder. I looked at Wanda and said "Do you like chili powder?" She nodded and I said "Well Bruce doesn't so let's prank him." She smiled big and said "That sounds like it would be fun to watch." I chuckled and covered the chicken in chili powder. Wanda taste Synge pasta and then asked for a bowl. I quickly grabbed her one and she put the pasta in it. She seasoned it and set it aside. I started cooking the chicken and said "So Wanda!" She said "So Nat!" I chuckled and said "After dinner you gonna head home?" She nodded and I said "Ok!"

When the chicken finished I put it in the pasta and put the Alfredo sauce on it. I said "I'm gonna go get Bruce. Could you put the food on plates?" She nodded and I walked out of the kitchen and ran upstairs. I walked into Bruce's office. He was sitting at his computer and playing Tetris. I said "Bruce foods ready." He said "Yeah ok I'll be down in a minute." He hadn't taken his eyes off the screen so I knew he wasn't listening to what I had said. I sighed and said "Bruce I'm pregnant." He quickly turned around and said "YOURE WHAT?" I smirked and said "So now you can hear?" He said "Are you?" I slapped my forehead then said "No idiot I don't have a uterus. Dinners ready by the way." He nodded and turned his computer off. I walked down stairs to see Wanda putting the food on the table. She smiled and I said "Thanks girl." She said "You're welcome!" I sat down and so did she. Bruce came down the stairs and then sat down at the table. He started eating quickly and Wanda and I shared a look. We knew the chili powder was gonna kick in soon and it would burn his mouth off because he ate so much at once. He stopped and stared at me. I said "What?" He turned bright red and he yelled "MY MOUTH IS ON FIRE!" I said "It is? We didn't put anything in the pasta to make it hot." He was crying at this point and I was holding back laughter. I started eating as he ran to the kitchen sink and turned the water on. He put his head under it so he could drink the water and Wanda looked at me. I looked at her and whispered "This is the funniest thing I've ever seen." She nodded in agreement and we kept eating. Bruce came running back to the table and said "NATASHA WHERE IS ALL THE MILK!" He was jumping around and I said "It was old so I threw it out." I hadn't really thrown it out I just hid it in the fridge I'm the garage. He sat down at the table and put his head down. Wanda said "Bruce you ok?" He gave a mumbled "No I feel like I'm dying." I finally after 10 minutes of him crying and his mouth being on fire I said "We put chili powder in the pasta and on the chicken." He looked up at me and said "I'm gonna kill you." I smiled and said "You wouldn't." He yelled "YOU PRACTICALLY BURNED MY MOUTH OFF!" I started laughing and so did Wanda.

When me and Wanda finished eating she hugged me and left. I started cleaning up and Bruce said "I'm never trusting you with my pasta again." I smiled and said "Do you even know how to make chicken and pasta?" He waited and then said "No." I laughed and put the dishes in the dishwasher. He said "I can learn though!" I nodded and walked towards him. I said "I'm gonna take a shower." He said "Ok. I'll be watching Tv." I nodded and ran upstairs.

When I got to our room I went to my dresser and grab tank top and some shorts. I went into bathroom and quickly slipped my clothes off then hopped in the shower.

When I got out of the shower I quickly grabbed my towel because I was freezing. I dried off quickly and then put my clothes on. I was still cold so I grabbed my robe and put it on over my clothes. I tied it and then looked for my blow dryer. I found it under the sink and I grabbed it then plugged it up. I dried my hair and then walked downstairs.

When I got downstairs Bruce was watching tv just like he said. I sat on the couch next to him and he looked at me. I said "What?" He said "Are you cold or something?" I nodded and he said "Well what are you wearing other than your robe?" I said "A tank top and shorts." He threw his arms in the air and said "Well that's why you're cold!" I put my head on his shoulder and said "Yeah I know." He started making different noises and I brought my head up from his shoulder then said "Are you frustrated or something?" He said "You know why you're cold and you don't do anything about it!" I said "Shhhh." I put my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.
