CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN
MANJIRO SANO
I stared at my son and Y/N with disbelief. I can't believe this. My own son just ordered his father to cook our dinner. How the fuck am I going to cook some shits? I don't even know the ingredients for their meal.
They were literally waiting for me in the kitchen. Y/N can't stare at me and Giovanni keep on grinning. Damn it, my son's really enjoying this.
I slowly walked towards them and didn't talk. Giovanni chuckled and turned his back on me. I think he's going to his room already.
I was left alone with Y/N in the kitchen. I saw her rolled her eyes before arranging the ingredients.
“You'll sleep in the couch later, Mikey. We only have two rooms here and there isn't any room for you.” I slowly walk towards her and stared at how she wash the spices.
“What are you looking at?” she asked and raise one carrot, “You're supposed to wash these ingredients, marinate this chicken and leave it for an hour. It's getting late already and we still haven't eaten our dinner, Giovanni will be hungry.”
I sighed and reach for the chicken meat before carefully washing them on the sink. She was just about to leave when I fastly grab her arms to stop her.
I saw how she stared at my hands who's gripping tightly on her arms. I immediately let go of her arms and click the insides of my cheeks.
“I don't know how to cook.” I said straight forwardly.
She chuckled before crossing her arms. “So what? My son definitely wanted you to learn. So you better work your ass off for you to learn some things.” she turned her back on me and definitely left.
I sighed heavily and look at the chicken meat. If only I could tear this to pieces, shit. Why the hell does Giovanni wanted me to cook some Filipino dishes? I don't even know how to cook!
“Damn it, if only Nana's here.” I mumbled to myself. As an idea struck me, I called Nana and he immediately answered.
“Sup boss.” he calmly stated.
“Nana, Giovanni wanted me to cook some chicken meat but I don't know how to. Can you teach me? This'll be quick.” I stated.
He really did told me how to cook chicken adobo. At first it was fucking hard but I got into it. Let the chicken boil and add some spices. That's it?
“Check if the chicken's already soft. Then serve it.” he said.
I did what he told me and tasted the chicken. I don't know how to explain the taste but it was kind of salty with a mix of sweetness.
“It's salty but tastes sweet at the same time.” I exclaimed.
“That'd be fine for now, ah, come to think of it, I also served Ran a chicken adobo when he first come here in the Philippines.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah, boss, I'll be hanging up, I'll talk to Koko.”
I didn't answered and just ended the call myself. I stared at the food I've cooked and served it on a plate. I was sweating hard even if it's night time already.
“Is it done already? I'm starving.” Giovanni appeared from my behind and hurriedly placed three plates on the dining table. He also served some rice and some water before calling his mom to eat.
Y/N came out while wiping her hair, it looks like she just finished taking a bath.
“Is it done already?” she asked and sat on her seat. It looks like she noticed that I was still standing so she called me.
My little heart thump like crazy and it felt honored when she stood up and grab a monobloc chair before putting it in front of me.
“You need to eat. Sit and dig in.” she stated and also sat at her seat.
Beside me was Giovanni who's already munching his food. He stared at me and spoke. “The sauce was a bit salty but it's okay, after all this is just your first time. The next time you cook some viand make sure to make them perfect.”
Oh damn. I can't clearly tell but my heart feels warm at that little words he said. My son is really something.
We continued eating in silence. Err, my son was really right, it's so fucking salty! How can they fucking eat this shit?
Suddenly Giovanni spoke after gulping a glass of cold water. “Mom, tomorrow's the sports festival, did Sean came here to visit me? We still haven't registered our names to the list of the players. We'll be late.” he spoke while biting his thumb.
“No, don't worry he'll be here later. I texted him earlier.”
“Really? I almost forgot that we have a game later.”
I can't relate to those damn things they're talking about.
“Big opponents?” Y/N asked.
Giovanni nodded. “Some filthy brats from Makati.”
After that talk, as usual, Giovanni made me wash the dishes. And of course, I broke two plates, luckily Giovanni wasn't around, Sean came and walk with him to the court. Now I was left alone with Y/N again.
I finished washing the dishes and I saw her walking towards her room. Just when she was about to close it, I fastly came in and grab her arms to pin her on the wall.
“What are you—”
I crashed my lips to hers as my grip on her hands tightened. I placed her hands on top of his head as my kisses deepened. I can feel her wobbling but I pinned her closer and I even pressed my body on her.
“Hmmm... M-Mikey please...” she moaned and finally, she returned my kisses. I felt her hands got loose and it traveled on my back.
I touched her nape to pull her closer to me. My toungue explored the insides of her mouth. She kept on moaning while I'm kissing her.
When I finally pulled away, we were both panting heavily. I made our foreheads touch each other as I caressed her cheeks. “I'm sorry I was late. I miss you so much, darling. I'm sorry, it took me years, just finish off some scraps on my way here.”
I was shock to see her crying.
“What's wrong? Why're you crying?”
“Bwisit ka talaga.”
“Huh?“
“Ang pogi pogi mo pa rin, shuta ka Mikey.”
“I can't understand.”
She chuckled and hugged me tight. “I was always waiting for you to come back. Day by day, I'm hoping that you'll appear on our gate, and will tell me that you wont leave. It really took you years.” she whispered while still crying.
All I could do is to caressed her back as I hug her back.
“Are we good now?”
She immediately pulled out from the hug. “Slight.”
What?
“You really need to earn for Giovanni's trust. That son of yours got your weird attitude.”
“He's what?”
She smirked and spoke. “You and Giovanni are both weird, tch.”
Before I could utter a word, she immediately left. Oh damn, whatever...
