MY MAID AND I (Once upon an us)

Chapter 19

Sophie

I heard that Xander helped me before I could roast.

Was I thankful? Yes
Would I thank him? Probably, I would since I was grateful.

I headed downstairs and saw him sitting in the living room watching TV. I walked up to him and he seemed to have noticed because he rose an eyebrow at me.

"What do you want this time?" Jerk

"This time? Have I ever needed anything from you?" I asked coldly and he chuckled lightly

"What. Do. You. Want?" He asked in a very serious tone and I could only wonder who had ruined his mood but then again he was always in a bad mood...to me as I noticed.

"I heard you saved....no no helped me out of the fire,I just wanted to say thanks for helping me"

"I would like to repay the favor" I said and cringed at the word repay.

"You don't need to be thankful, I hate you and that still stands, nobody should die if I'm around so you're not special" he spat harshly at me.

"I'm not always this nice Xander" I breathed in frustration and he focused back on the TV ignoring me

"Okay then" I said and went into the kitchen and I thought about what I could cook. I searched the food
list in my head but found nothing but i remember a particular idiot saying 'chicken pasta'

I decided to make chicken pasta. I brought out all the ingredients I needed. I took the frozen chicken and kept it under the tap, I wasn't sure if it would help the frozen part but still I kept it under the tap.

It was no longer icy,it was just wet and a bit warm.

I chopped the chicken into big parts before dicing the chicken into boxes. I poured oil into the pan, chopped onions in it,I stirred the onions in the pan, and poured the diced carrots, spring onions, tomatoes, green peas and I stirred everything together before adding a pinch of salt, seasoning,curry and thyme leaves. I stirred everything together and I was pleased with the aroma. I then added the diced chicken.

I knew Xander was hungry after all Lynn and Clara  weren't home and I was sick in bed. So he probably was hungry, he just proved stubborn.
I cooked double of the initial portion of pasta,for Xander and me. It was not fair to eat and leave him hungry. He was a dick but he shouldn't die.
I took out the pasta and boiled it, after it was done and soft enough, I sieved the remaining water from it. I poured the pasta into the sauce in the pan,I stirred everything together before putting it on low heat again.

It was finally ready and I did some finishings to the chicken pasta ,I served it into two different plates and I kept Fried chicken beside it.

I took my food and went upstairs to eat leaving Xander's food on the kitchen counter with enough fried chicken.

Xander

After she entered the  kitchen, all I heard was the sound of spoon  hitting pans and oil sizzling and so many things

Before the aroma filled my nose, I ignored it at first but later it became unbearable, my stomach growled and I cursed at her for cooking when I was hungry

I saw walk upstairs with her plate in her hand and fried chicken in another plate. I felt betrayed for some strange reasons... Nope I felt funny cause I'm hungry

I entered the kitchen to at least see what she was cooking, I didn't see any pan ,she had washed them
I hissed and was about walking out when I saw a plate on the counter covered with a plate. I opened it and I gasped at what she cooked. I was surprised that she made mine with hers. I saw the black writing on the counter

You might have a death wish, but you're not dying of hunger

I smiled a small  smile and picked my plate up and walked to the dining hall and ate peacefully

I was happy but what I didn't know was if it was because Sophie cooked the delicious meal or because I was hungry and the food came at the right time
I just was happy

I ate and dropped my plate in the sink,heading to my room ,I switched off my phone not wanting any disturbance about the gang.

I disconnected my alarm clock too so i would sleep peacefully. I slept only for a while

"Run! They must not catch you"  the voice cried

"B-but I c-c-c-can't leave you here"

"You should be strong, I believe in you Al"

"No! No! C!!"

"Haaaaaaa!!" The voice screamed in pain as a knife entered hr back.

She died! I saw her close her eyes. My dear c
My adorable baby

"Xander! You think you can escape? How funny?"

"D-d-dad"

"You would do it as long as I cared"

"Please dad! I don't want to kill anyone anymore!!"

"You don't have a freaking choice!!"
"You might love to see this"

"Nooo!!! Dad!!! "

"Pretty right? Watch closely"
A gunshot was heard and the room was filled with blood..her blood

She spat blood and looked at me
"Xander! I love you" she said before falling off the chair and died

"Noooooo!!!!"

I felt like I was being burnt as I had this nightmare,suddenly I felt warm not on fire anymore

My hair was being stroked "you're okay" the soft voice said and I nodded

"You'll be fine,do you believe me?" The voice asked and I nodded again
Calming down I drifted off to sleep

Sophie

I woke up from a nightmare where I was running and I suddenly felt a knife at my back. I shrieked in fear and wiped the sweat forming on my forehead.

I was about going to enjoy the cool breeze when I heard muttering and whimpering from Xander's room

Please don't tell me he was fucking another blonde, might be a brunette this time. I slightly opened the door to see him Struggling on the bed. He was digging his fingers into his skin.

God! He was having a nightmare
I ran over to him and I saw how scared and broken he looked,he was going through a lot in the dream

He was bleeding now, because blood kept dripping from his arms where he dug his fingers into

I sat on his bed and kept his head on my laps "its okay" I whispered to him and he nodded

"You'll be fine" I whispered again and he nodded his head while hugging me tightly

"Please don't go" he said in a teary voice with his eyes still closed

"I won't, I'll always be here Xander" I said just to comfort him and soon enough he was snoring softly on his pillow. I looked at him and I felt pity for him...he's a complete jerk but still....he was human
And I won't hate him

Hey guys
For the picture of the chicken pasta,I would use it for the next chapter
Hope you don't get hungry haha
