Chapter 19

*I hope we could all recover from that last chapter. I tried finishing this as fast as possible to get us past it but I had like four exams and on the one today I could've done so much better and the day after tomorrow I have another one. So, there wasn't really any time :(
But I'm squeezing it in now. Woohoo.

KALINA'S POV:
I slept through until 4 pm. When I woke up and realised how very late it was, I sat up in Katherine's bed and looked around. The covers fell from my shoulders and a cold draft of air hit my upper body. I hugged my chest and realised that it was exposed, blushing at the thought of that morning.

I had not expected Katherine to still be in bed, as it had been midday, when I fell asleep from exhaustion, but my heart ached at the coldness flooding my body.

That was, until my nose filled with the scent of tomato sauce and my skin prickled at the thought of Katherine's food. God, that stuff was delicious. So, with unanticipated quickness, I stumbled out of bed to close the window and pulled an old college sweater of hers over my head, looking for a pair of underwear.

I saw mine, still discarded on the floor beside the bed, but found that I really did not want to put them on. So, I looked into her closet and inside the first drawer I pulled open, I was met with a bunch of underwear that made me blush.

I blinked rapidly to get Katherine out of my mind and reached for the pair that seemed like the safest option. Pulling them on, I pocked my head into the bathroom and found the sweatpants Katherine had wanted to give me, after my shower.

While walking down the stairs, I heard soft humming and quiet sizzling coming from the kitchen counter and rounded the banister of the staircase to the sliding doors to the kitchen.

"What are you making?", Katherine jumped but put a hand over her heart, when she saw that it was me.

"Hell, that scared me", I giggled and walked over to her to hug her from behind pressing my nose into her dark hair.

"It's just some noodles and tomato cream sauce. I mean, I have to make sure you eat today", she mumbled, while stirring the sauce.

"Smells delicious", she smiled and brought one of my hands from around her waist up to her lips and gave it a kiss.

"What will we do tomorrow?", I asked, as I stole a cherry tomato and backed away to get myself a glass of water.

"What's tomorrow?", she raised an eyebrow.

"Well, after lectures are over, you know? My mum and Arin are leaving for Egypt tomorrow at 8 pm. So, I thought, maybe I could come over after getting some stuff?", she nodded enthusiastically.

"Of course. You can come over whenever you want and we'll just spend the four days, until we're leaving for my parents' place, together", I grinned and she smiled.

"That's great! We could go for walks, bake, make out, watch movies, make out, cook, make out, pack and, ooh, did I mention making out?", she chuckled and shook her head.

"You did. But we'll have to cut out those walks for now. I'm still your professor and more than half of the town knows my face", I felt my face falling but that was one thing out of the twenty I had in mind, so, I quickly regained my composure.

"That doesn't matter. We'll have fun inside", though, I felt as though my heart thought it did matter. Which did not last long, as I had to laugh at the panicked look on Katherine's face, while her tomato sauce was starting to bubble excessively.

After twisting and pushing a few buttons, she finally got the stove to calm down and with it the sauce. She took out two plates and served us both a big portion of that deliciously smelling dish.
