Chapter 2- taste testing

Whit POV

At around 8:30 AM everyone except for Teruko started to filter in including J who was staring down Arturo the whole time

The omelets were fully beautifully plated and placed in rows

"Are these for us?" Rose asked seemingly surprised

"Yep!!! Me and Charles made omelettes for everyone so enjoy to your hearts content!!!" I looked over to Charles and he seemed to be hiding a smile, it was kind of cute in a way

"Woah!! They look so nice!" Eden practically had stars in her eyes, which was the exact reaction i wanted

I'm glad everyone was seemingly in better moods then yesterday but of course that didn't last long as Veronika interrupted

"This could be poisoned could it not? Although you two worked together to make it and could've prevented the other from doing something so drastic, considering how close you two have gotten it wouldn't be very shocking if you in fact worked together to poison everyone else!"

I knew deep down something bad was maybe going to come out of this but I still had my hopes up so Veronikas statement lowered my moods a bit, at the end of the day Charles was right.

This ever so small statement caused everyone to look at one another wearily and untrusting but before things could get worse luckily Charles stepped in

"If it's that much of a problem I'll eat mine so you guys can see that it isn't poisoned. I don't care all that much on whether you decide to eat the omelets or not but I'm doing this because Whit and me worked hard on these, I wouldn't want any to go to waste."

His words put everyone including me at ease, I wouldn't want another group meal with tension and yelling

Eden cut in though, "it's okay! You don't have to do that Charles because I trust you and Whit!!! I'll have one!" Eden took an omelet and a fork and took a bite

Everyone watched carefully and as expected she had no negative reaction to it

"This is so good!! It's soft and moist and so fluffy!! How did you guys manage to make it so good!!!" the stars were back in her eyes and even brighter than before

"I just did what I remembered nothing special, Charles helped out a lot too! He did amazing for his first time making omelets!!!"

My exclaim caused Charles cheeks to burn a bright red and he looked away

"It was easy. Anyone could've done it." he mumbled, I could tell he was proud too though

The blush on his cheeks was still there and if anything growing, it was honestly cute

Once everyone else began to realize that it wasn't poisoned they started to take an omelette one by one

"Charlie eat with me!" I wanted so sit next to Charles so I can see his reaction once he tastes our amazing dish we made together!

"Okay..." he seemed embarrassed by the nickname but complied nevertheless

As he took a bite I watched his reaction thoroughly and saw his eyes light up a little and his eyebrows raise

"I won't deny it, this is pretty good."

I tried it myself to see if what he was saying was true and it was! As expected from my awesome cooking skills

I smiled at the taste pride overtaking me

"We did amazing!! This is really good! Up top!"

I put my hand up for him to high five but he just stared at it with an aggravated and confused look

"High five!" I said hoping that he would get the hint

He continued to stare at my hand and slowly slapped it, to be honest it was the saddest high five I've ever received and yet it felt like the best high five I've ever gotten in my life. Why did it feel that way.
