"I told you, you don't have to do this.", Y/N says for the fourth time as her eyes follow the singer. Selena is going around her kitchen as she gathers the things she needs for what she will be cooking.
"I already told you I want to.", she says and places couldron to the faucet.
They are in the unit Selena is renting together with her friends as they are staying in New York for a business. A top secret that she didn't want to tell Y/N when she asked about where's Raquelle and others were. The singer's friends are out and they're the only people unit.
Y/N is sitting with her back straight in a stool and her feet are swinging because either the stool is too high for her toes to reach the floor or her height isn't matching to the stool. And the latter is the reason Y/N won't accept. Her hands are playing with her phone as she watches the Latina.
"Do you need help?", the younger offers hesitantly because she has no idea what help she will offer since she does not know anything about cooking besides frying eggs and hotdogs but it won't hurt to offer a help.
"Nah, I got this... Just sit there and learn from me.", the singer says with the hint of pride in her voice as she smirks at Y/N while she is putting an apron.
Y/N rolls her eyes and glares, "Really? Just because you know something, you don't get to do that to me!", she says playfully. Y/N's reply sparks a guffaw from the Latina, making Y/N huffs on her seat but laughs along after.
The laughter dies down. Selena turns around showing her bare hands, "You don't mind?", the younger woman shakes her head and gestures her to go on.
Y/N watches Selena heats up the cauldron before she starts to cut small boxes of hams. There is a comfortable silence around and only the sound of a knife hitting the chopping board and the boiling water can be heard.
Y/N leans forward on the table, resting her elbows on it as she clasps her hands together, still her legs are swinging.
"Since when did you learn cooking?", Y/N asks out of nowhere.
"When I started living on my own.", she answers glancing at the younger.
"Well that's good... I can see the improvement.", she smiles at her comment.
"Thank you...?"
"It's true."
Silence, once again, surrounds both of them. Y/N hates it every time with other people but this silence, a comfortable one, is different and she kind of likes it. However, her mind still wonders what to ask or what topic to open up. With the older brunette around, Y/N feels like a teenager again. She is still a little bit nervous to be around her again. She thought that the lunch with Raquelle would be the last time they would meet but the universe has a different plan.
She starts to not like the silence when she cannot think of anything to talk about with the singer. She doesn't know why but she has that feeling of eagerness to get to know this new version of the woman in front of her. The old Selena she knew was the Selena she had met when she was sixteen and Selena was eighteen. She barely remembers her now.
"Can you play something?", Selena senses Y/N's overthinking, and she feels the same nervousness the younger brunette is feeling.
Y/N snaps out of her thoughts and looks at the singer when she suddenly speaks.
"Sure... Any song in mind?", Y/N asks blinking thrice as she starts to unlock her phone and goes to her app.
"Anything... Just shuffle it.", Selena replies sending a small smile while stirring the noodles.
Y/N goes to her liked songs and clicks shuffle. She turns her phone off and places it on the counter table she is leaning on.
There is silence but the shuffle was already clicked. Y/N already thinks of what to ask and decided to ask it, "Do you—...", but was cut off when the song starts to play.
"Oohh, is that you're liked playlist?", she teases once it started playing.
Y/N presses her lips into a thin line, getting hot and flustered, mentally cursing herself for forgetting that she liked some of Selena's songs. Especially the ones that Selena told her she wrote about her.
"What?", she asks trying to be nonchalant as she is looking at her. Selena is smiling widely as she turns her back at her to do her cooking.
"I told you I listen and like your new song.", Y/N reminds her.
"I know.", she replies, "Just wanna tease you.", then laughs.
"I kinda regret agreeing on playing something.", Y/N says playfully but she is feeling shy about it, then grabs her phone.
"No, don't change it!", Selena says turning to her. She started singing her song, making the spatula on her hand as her microphone, trying to make up for teasing her.
"Is there a place where I can hide away?", she starts singing giving all the emotions she has... playfully. Y/N films it.
"Red lips, french kiss my worries all the way. There must be a sweeter place, we can sugar coat the taste", Y/N is cheering on the background. Selena goes back on cooking still singing. She stops filming.
Y/N sings along with her throughout the song and stops when next song starts to play.
“I'm waiting for the deluxe album though, if there is any.”, Y/N mentions as the next song starts to play in the background, not Selena's.
“No comment. Top secret.”, Y/N rolls her eyes at the Latina's reply. She was hoping she could get even a little information from the singer but she got none.
A couple of more songs were played before the singer done making a pasta. Selena serves it and Y/N is surprise that she made the plating.
"Tadaa!", she says placing the plate in front of Y/N.
"Wow!", Y/N grabs her phone before taking a couple of shots of it.
"I don't want to eat this.", she says while studying the plating. "You really made an effort learning this as well."
“I did, and I am proud.”
Y/N can't help but to laugh, “I can see that.”
“Now hush and eat.”, Selena instructs.
“Now we'll see if it is really good or it's just the plating.”, Y/N teases rubbing her hands together.
“It's good.”
“Hopefully.”
“Shut up. If it is good you'll have to let me be your cook for the rest of the day.”, Selena says.
“Alright, that's not an issue.”, Y/N replies before twisting her pork to get the pasta. She leans forward and put her hair on her left said before putting the pasta in her mouth.
Her head nods as she is chewing it with her left hand subtly covering her chewing.
She humss, “It's good. It's good.”, she says before finishing it.
“Told you.”, Selena states and take a small bite of hers.
“I really did think acting and singing was your thing.”, Y/N really wants to smack herself for making that comment.
“I do other than those things.”, Selena says not turning her attention to her plate.
“And you're doing good at it.”, Y/N comes back. She curses to herself and makes a mental note to just shut up sometimes.
Selena gives her a smile, “Thank you.”
“How's the new career path been treating you?”, Y/N looks at her then her plate.
“You asked that, I have a lot to say. Is there a return and refund?”
“I have time”, the singer laughs. “If you are under a contract, unfortunately.”
“Disappointing.”
A/N: give me ideas I run out 😭
