The kingdom

chapter thirteen

(Zayn's pov)

We walk down to the kitchen and I to catch her off guard put my hands around ,Carson's waist lifting her in the air and she squeals in shock and starts to laugh and I set her on the counter. She smiles wide "and what do you think your doing malik?"

I love the way she calls me malik,it's sad that it turns me on,but it's Carson,she her self turns me on so..... anyways I smile up at her "I'm just assisting you to the counter duh?" She laughs and puts her head on my shoulder,while giggling. I laugh and run my hands up and down on her back.

She kisses me and just as I'm about to deepen it she hops off the counter and runs to the other side. I smirk and she winks turning around to the cabinet to get the ingredients out of the cabinet. She is so short haha,I love it. I walk up behind her and put my hand on her waist while my free one lifts to the air and grabs all of the ingredients.

I set them down on the counter and wrap my arms back around her waist and pulling her close to me smirking "you know I have a thing for short girls." She giggles and pouts "hey I'm not short.....I'm fun sized!" I laugh and lean close to whisper in her ear "well I'm not."

He breath hitches and she blushes hard and burrows her head in my chest while I chuckle "well I should make your soup before you leave." I nod still laughing she's so innocent..... I watch her as she chops up carrots,celery,onions,and garlic. She puts them in a bowl,then starts to make the dumpling batter.

She mixes the dumpling batter and then rolls out the separate circles. After rolling out the circles she puts a little of each vegetable in every dumpling,and seals them shut. After all of the prep work is done she starts to boil the broth. While that heats she pulls out her phone and hits the play button on her music.

Damn!!!.....She is swaying her hips,why do you do this to me?!? When the music starts I recognize the song as To love and die by:Jhene Aiko. She looks so beautiful with her long dark brown hair flowing around her shoulders with every move. I walk to her and place my hands on her waist and she smiles and starts to move her hips slightly again and I pull her closer and we dance for a little while.

After about two more minuets she goes to add the dumplings in the broth and stir it around. "You know you should dance more often." She laughs "you would like that wouldn't you?" I nod eagerly and smile while she laughs at me. Around six o'clock she says "your soup is ready, my prince.".

She bows and puts the bowl in front of me and I laugh at her goofiness and pat her head "why thank you kind Madame." She nods and sits down on a stool watching me intently. I look up "what?" She makes a motion with her hands and says "you gonna eat that damn soup or what?" I nod and laugh.

I take the spoon and take a dumpling on it and smile at the smell,it's just like moms used to smell. I lift my spoon and blow on it just to tease her and she groans, I chuckle and put the dumpling in my mouth my god it taste like mom's.....maybe even better. "It tastes sooooo.....awesome,Carson!"

She smiles and nods "thank you,thank you." I nod and eat the rest of my soup "man,it taste just like moms." She tears up and smiles oh god why are you crying...don't cry!! "Carson?...love,why are you crying?" She smiles "I'm just so happy that you think it's as good as your mom's."

I get up and wrap her in my arms and she wraps her around my waist. Her head is on my chest and she starts to giggle "what's so funny,dear?" She sighs "your heart is racing." I smile "well,that's what happens when your around me." She giggles and starts to put the soup away.

I put a hand on her arm "Carson,you didn't eat." She nods and looks down and then back up at me "umm,yeah I know I'm just not really hungry." I look at her and frown "Carson......please eat some food." She shakes her head " no really,I'm not hungry I promise."

I look into her eyes and I can see that she is lying "no,your lying you haven't eaten anything in like six hours love,eat some soup."She sighs and nods making a bowl of soup for her self,."Thank you,darling." She smiles "Your welcome Zayn."
