Natasha's POV
"You need help or something? She ask me smiling "ummm no I'm here because I saw you crying earlier I just want to check if you're okay" I say kinda nervous I don't know but this woman is making me nervous she just ask me a simple question... She looks at me "don't mind me, I'm okay I just remember something" she says coldly looking down...
I know something up with her but I don't want to ask her again because that would be weird this is our first conversation "ohhh okay just checking" I said and when I'm about to walk away she hold my wrists and "Thank you for your concern and welcome to our neighborhood!" She said smiling "My pleasure miss and thank you for welcoming me!" I say but she's still holding my wrists she nods and I can see she want to say something but she didn't so I remove her hand to put in mine and shake it, her hand is so soft... after I break the handshake I made she clears her throat and smile at me I smile back and start walking away to her...
"Did you eat lunch yet?" I turn around seeing her face looks like she'snervous "ummm no-nope why?" I said
"I'm cooking lunch and I'm sure it's too much for me" she stops and I'm just looking at her "if you're not busy... Come eat lunch with me" she looks nervous I just stand there shocked cause this is what I want to be close to her I didn't realize I stand there for seconds looking like I decline her offer "well umm it seems you might be busy maybe next time my neighbor..." She looks embarrass "No No No miss I'm not busy actually I would love to!!!" She smiles 'well come in neighbor! So I can continue what I'm doing In there" she said pointing into her kitchen.
"What's your name?' She ask while cutting the avocado "Natasha, what's your name?" I said while admiring what she's doing "Hmnnn Natasha huh you have a lovely name I like it and my name is Y/n" she says looking to me "well Y/n you have a very beautiful name" she nods and smile at me "Make yourself at home Natasha" I nod and continue admiring her... at this point I see her finally close she's truly pretty lovely looking woman. I'm really glad she invited me "ummm can I help you?" I ask "sure if you want to but you don't really need to you're my guest" she says, I walk to the counter and grab the knife and red cabbage and started cutting it until she grabbed my hand and remove the knife "natasha cut it like this" she says smiling at me "ohhh okay sorry I just... I never cooked before" I say laughing "ohh I see... you didn't even cut the lower part" she says laughing. I feel embarrassed but I just laugh with her

'So y/n who taught you how to cook? Because this food taste really amazing!!!" She chuckles "I can see you're enjoying the food, my mother who taught me how to cook" I nod "well tell your mother that she really teach you well" I said smiling, she laughs "I will" "what about you, what thing are you good at?" I laugh because I don't know what I'm good at she just look at me confuse "I'm sorry I just don't know what I'm good at maybe if you teach me how to cook I can be good like you" I said "I would love to natasha" I smile at her can't believe that she'd agree "wait, are you really?" "Of course Natasha why not" I nod "well, thank you!!!"

"Y/n let me wash the dishes please" I said. she didn't let me clean or anything "That's not happening natasha you're my guest" I sigh "please I insist y/n. you did everything so please let me" she sighs "okay okay only this time" only this time? I thought... so there will be next time? "Only this time huh so there would be next time" I say smiling at her "I will teach you how to cook remember?" I smile because she's really looking forward for that "ohhh right" I started washing the dishes when I'm almost done she stand next to me holding a dish towel "y/n let me dry this" "I knew you would say that. here" she hand me the towel "let's both dry this plates" she says
I nod

"Y/n it was lovely meeting you I really enjoyed your company and thank you for the lunch it really taste amazing!!!" She smiles
"It was lovely meeting you too natasha and if you have time I would love to teach you how to make that food so you can make it yourself"
"That would be amazing y/n!!! Thank you"
