"Good morning" she says.
"Are you still mad at me because of my joke last night?" I ask.
She smiled at me and shake her head "pfft. I'm not mad Natasha, I actually did that to see what's gonna be your reaction. And I do really want to sleep beside you so if you needed help or anything you can just call me. I'm not a kid Natasha, I'm a grown woman."
"I thought-"
"No, I'm not mad. Let's go, I'll cook breakfast."
"I'll help"
She just scrunched her nose. And whispered "No". And she's no longer on my sight.

While she's cooking, I'm just here at the island watching her.
"When you finally recover I'll teach you how to cook"
"I'm warning you now, miss, be patient with me, I just don't really know how these things works" I explain.
"You're so dramatic, Natasha, you're just going to cook" she laughs.
"Almost done, get the table ready, Natasha."
"Okay"
~~~
As we eat in silence and just glancing at each other with a smile, I really wanted to thank her for doing this. I wanted to know if she have a job so I can just ask Maria to be here with me, I don't want her to lose her job or have a problem with her work because of me. I know Maria will stay when I ask her.
"You're thinking, what is it?"
"I just wanted to say Thank you for this." I said almost a whisper.
"It's nothing, you're my friend after all" she smiled.
"One more thing."
"Hmm?"
"Do you have a job? I don't want you to have a problem with your job"
"I don't have, I resigned months ago" she said but her aura changed. There's something....
"Just making sure" I said and she nods.
"I have a question too but I'm too shy to ask"
"Ask me, don't be shy, Y/n."
"How old are you? You look so young, Natasha." She said as she stares to my face...
"Guess"
"25?"
"27?"
"Higher"
"28?"
"Nope"
"Gosh! 30?"
"Higher"
"You're joking, there's no way you're above 30"
"I am, now keep Guessing and I'll tell you when you get it right"
"33?"
"34?"
One more
"One last time and I'll stop, Natasha, Just tell me! Are you 36?"
"Why would you skip 35, oh my god!"
" You're 35?!" I nod.
"How?" She look so shock.
"You're 35 looking like this?"
"Genes I guess" I shrugged my shoulders.
She's still staring at me looking if I'm lying.
