Putting on my apron I chat with Emily as she cleans the dishes which by the way I insisted on helping with before she swatted my hands away from the counter.
"Oh my gosh what happened next?" I ask while laughing my lungs out. " he fell over the stage with the wires tangled, can you believe it?"
I shake my head in response as I laugh loudly. Gasping for air I hold the counter in supports as she shakes her head in a dismissive manner.
She was telling me how her son made a fool out of himself in his wedding day due to nervousness. And trust me the way she was mimicking every bit of it.. it was hilarious
"What's so funny?" Came a voice behind as my nerves sent me a alarm warning recognising the voice too quickly then it should have been.
I turn around knowing who it is but put on a expression proving otherwise.
"Nothing.. Emily was just narrating a story"which you ruined it. I didn't mutter the last part as I didn't have a death wish.
"Oh Emily? was it the one of Kyle tripping over on his wedding day?" He asks while taking a grape from the bowl.
My eyes widen in shock at his statement. Was he so friendly always? Or was that counter completely off limits for me?
He notices my shock as a smile of amuse plays on his lips. Taking the grape he puts it in his mouth as some of the juice slips out.
Okay Eliza what are you? A creep? No then look away idiot.
"You look away" I say to my subconscious but realise it was to loud when I felt eyes on me "who look away?" Asked Xavier to which I shook my head.
I am sure he understood because he put on a mocking expression which said it all.
That bas- Astagfirullah he almost made me swear. Get a grip honestly.
Okay what am I doing? Baking with my kidnappers?
I ask myself this every time we do something normal which isn't technically normal. This psycho interaction needs to stop.
"Hola amigos" came a screeching voice from behind. We turn to find Flo in a hideously colourful outfit.
To which Xavier says "you wore the entire garden today or what?" And Flo replies saying " yeah, do you want to water it?"
Eww, that's nasty. Xavier makes a annoyed expression before smacking her in the head. Flo takes the spatula from the counter before attacking him.
Wow, isn't this the sight I want to see?
I clear my throat as they stop doing whatever they were doing and look at me. "So shall we start? What flavour are we baking today?"
"How about weed brownies?" Xavier takes the spatula proceeds to smack her again but I come in the way and he abruptly stops his actions and takes a step backward.
"now that pillow fight is over can we really start?" Flo nods at me and he just looks straight. do I have something on my face or what?
"so Emily and I have separated three flavours, chocolate, strawberry and coffee, we each will work with different ones but help each other since we are a team?"
"sis you memorise that El?" asks Flo to which I just shake my head and Xavier puts on a smile of amusement.. again.
atleast the monster is in leash. I have a feeling that the kitchen is about to go the heck down today and I have to help Emily sort out the mess.
we start off going to different counters which had separate ingredients for the menu. I must the say the kitchen is quite spacious and it gives me feeling ...like makes me want to cook.
I pour the flour into the eggs mixture and start beating it using a hand beater to make a batter. after beating for a couple of times the mixture appears absolutely perfect with the exact amount of lather I want.
I look over to see Flo struggling with the eggs. so leaving mine I walk towards her tumblr to help her. going Past Xavier gives me a shudder as my veil brushes with his shoulders and like the gentleman he he pulled away.
I feel like if he didn't have this job otherwise he would be such a nice guy but anyways...
"Flo you need some help with the eggs?" she looks at me with a innocent smile and I take that as a yes. I take the beater and slowly beat the eggs with the flour as I feel eyes on me.
shaking the feeling I mix the sugar as I put some vanilla syrup. "wait El!!"
"what?" I ask looking at her to which she replies "that's not vanilla that's something else"
"are you sure Flo?" she nods so I further take the spoon and put few drops of the liquid and put it in my mouth I do so I again feel eyes on me. turning my head I find Xavier staring at me intensely to which I find my knees turning into jelly.
Eliza stop! its the Satan doing it to you. he is out of your reach stop fawning over him.
I turn my head to Flo to tell her "no Flo its vanilla only, I've mixed the mixture you only have to put the, in the cups" she nods at me and I start to walk away.
but the minute I turn my hand slips to Xavier's counter and his extra bowl of flour falls to the floor admist making him and I completely covered in white powder.
great!
I look up to see him in a angry scowl forming on his face. oh god! have I awoken the beast? before I can say anything him and Flo burst out laughing.. what? why is he laughing? is he allowed to laugh?
what am I rambling about? urghh!
before I process the situation Flo takes the flour in the floor and smacks my face with the powder. oh hell no, "you're dead meat" I grit before taking some powder in my hand and putting it in her head.
"noo!! not my hair El!" I just laugh in response as she walks away.
"Xavier, why don't you go ahead with Flo? ill clear the kitchen out and prepare the cupcakes" he shakes his head in response and says "no i'll help you out".
I look at him in disbelief as he reads my expression "why? Aren't I allowed to be nice?"
I unknowingly shake my head in No as I realise what I've done. Well Sheit "I mean yeah why not?"
He smiles as he says "I get it, I a surprised myself" a small smile plays on my lips at his words as we take the brooms and start sweeping.
______
After sweeping now we are putting the batter in the paper cups for the cupcakes.
"Oh my god! Not like this Xavier you're such a goner, you don't get simple instructions?" What the actual heck am I rambling ?
He shakes his head and mutters a series of profanities "you do this shit I'll wash the dishes"
I nod at him and proceed doing whatever I was doing. Glancing over the dishwasher I find him rolling his sleeves up revealing a scar which by the way is insanely attractive.
Taking the sponge and lathering it with soap he washes the dishes as I almost feel myself drooling. What.A.Sight.
Okay stop Eliza! Focus on the cupcakes.. I shake my head in a dismissive manner shaking my cloud of thoughts as I rearrange the cups in the tray and put my oven mitts on.
That evening I learnt one thing.. even monsters can laugh and some can make you laugh as well...
