For The Eternals

The most unforgettable dinner

Daniel pov

I threw the towel into the laundry basket. It’s so nice to have shower after a long day. I put on a grey T-shirt and a pair of sweat pants. Then I sat on the chair and read a book.

I lost in the book for a few minutes until I smelled it. My clan's favorite scent, strawberry vanilla with a hint of amber and sugar, like Henry’s description. He had the strongest smelling sense. His definition of scents was very detail and complicated.

This time was her usual time for Amy to get home from school. But this time, her scent had another mixing up ingredients. Looked like she’s in her period.

My phone suddenly ringed for six times. I put down my book and grabbed my phone. The first message was from Henry.

‘dinner is yours, buddy'

Then the others also sent me similar text. I bet they’re already left, even before they sent me those texts.

Amy’s scent was so intoxicating, mixed it with blood only made us craved her more.

The first time we encountered it, Henry was almost crazy. His eyes were blood red and his instinct was on peak.

If Lucifer didn’t fast enough to reach him and Edward didn’t help him to pin him down, he would tore her door apart.

Since then, we promised to left the house until they could tame their own desire, leaving me alone with her since I was the only one who managed to get used to blood without getting crazy.

The truth was, I was also in the peak of frenzy, but I refused to give up. I’m a doctor, and I need my mind always on point in order to do my job. If something happened to her I should be able to help her without getting my desire to blocked me up.

So I trained myself for a month to get used to her blood every single day. I could say that I’m better now.

I got up from my seat. Amy might be ready for dinner now. I was thinking what should I made for her. I could cook, but Theo always refused to eat my food. I didn’t catch the reason why. My food was good and of course healthy. I always paid attention on the nutrition of each servings.

I entered the kitchen and went through the fridge. There were kinds of vegetables, and some eggs. Maybe omelet should sufficed. I cracked some eggs in a bowl and gave them a little beating, not forget salt and pepper for the taste. Then I gave my full attention to the vegetables.

Spinach and kale were my choice, since kale and spinach can boost iron levels which helps in replenishing lost blood. Spinach is also rich in magnesium that was really good to consume during period time.

I chopped them and put them into a bowl. I brought them to the water tap and wash them.

I brought all together to the stove and put on the pan. I poured some cooking oil, waited until it’s hot and poured the egg batter. Then I took the chopped vegetables and spread them on the egg. I waited until it’s golden brown and I put it on the plate.

I turned my attention to the second menu. I wanted to make a fruit juice for her.

Banana was the best option. They are rich in Vitamin B6 and potassium which help in relieving bloating and cramps.

Turmeric was also good. Turmeric is known as an anti-inflammatory spice, and curcumin is its main active ingredient. A 2015 study looked at the effects of curcumin on PMS symptoms and found that people who took curcumin had less severe symptoms.

And the last ingredient was cucumbers. Cucumbers have a high water content, making them one of the best foods for menstrual bloating.

I prepared the juicer and grounded them. A few seconds and a glass full of healthy tasty juice was ready to be served. I brought the food to the dining room and waited for Amy to came down.

I was highly sure I had made tonight's dinner became the best dinner for her. I didn't only put my effort to the satisfaction, but also the nutrients she needed.

Not long after that, I saw her got in the dining room. She wasn’t in her usual comfy clothes tonight. She’s in something warmer, sweatshirt and legging.

Good choice!

Usually during period time, women’s body tend to need warmth more than any other day. Warming the body could lessens the pain by relaxing the muscles, increases blood flow and if the warmth was concentrated on the abdomen will do so directly to the uterus and ease cramps.

She looked out her surroundings. Maybe realized that we’re the only ones who occupied the dining table.

“Where’s everyone?“

“They have.. an urgency tonight.”

She nodded and observed the food on the table. I could see her eyes were slightly bigger.

“You made this?“

She asked me. I nodded. I felt a little insecurity. My food didn’t have a good presentation like Henry’s.

“It’s not pretty, but I guarantee that the food was totally healthy.”

I assured her. Silently I wished she would eat all of them. All of the food was good for her health.

The only one that I never wished was to see her smiled so bright.

“Thank you, Dane. I appreciate it so much.”

She sat down and started to dig in. She took a few bites before realized she’s the only one who eat.

“You didn’t join me?”

“No..” I shook my head.

“We ran out of eggs. I just able to make some for you.”

She showed me a face that I knew was a concerned. She cut the omelette into two and gave another half to me.

“I can’t eat alone.”

She then showed me another smile. How I could say no to it. I then sat down and started to gobbled the food while she continued to eat her food.

On the first bite, I tasted it. The omelette was so bitter. The spinach and the kale were so much, they defeated the eggs.

Now I could see that the omelette was green instead of yellow like regular omelette. I felt the bitterness on my tongue and couldn’t even swallowed it.

I looked at her who happily ate all of the omelette until her last bite. She also finished her glass of juice in one go. Just a few drops of them which still left in the bottom of the glass.

She wiped her mouth with the napkin and looked at me.

“Thank you for the food, Dane. This is the most unforgettable dinner in my life.“

She then got up and took her plate.
I watched her going out the dining room without even blinking. How she finished all of that yucky food?

I also gave the juice a suspicious eyes.

It’s from banana, turmeric and cucumber. It tastes good.

Right?

I grabbed the glass and gulped the rest of the juice.

Oh my God!

This was insane!

This juice was the definition of abomination.

Why I made this?

It tasted a lot more like a poison than a healthy tasty juice.

I cringed of myself. I stood and brought the glass to the sink.

While I was doing the dishes, I swore that I wouldn’t make that omelette and juice for the rest of my life.

I wondered how Amy felt about this.
