Chapter 31

"How fun?" I smiled at him taking one of the bags and bringing it to the kitchen, once everything was there and sorted, I stopped and gave him a kiss "You did really well today" 

"Bit pissed Redbull were so quick, but could be worse than fifth" He kissed me again "Let's get cooking then" 

"Wash your hands, I'll be there in a sec" He went over to the sink, I flipped my head over so I could put my hair into a high ponytail, then I washed my hands. "Right can you get chopping the veg, I'll do the rest"

"Okay bossy" He began chopping some tomatoes. 

"Would you rather be cleaning up vomit, I'll happily make George my sou chef" I gave him a look and he just shook his head "That's what I thought" I saw Max come into the kitchen out the corner of my eye. 

"I don't want to deal with that anymore, that can be a George problem" He was supposed to be with Pierre. 

"Can you whack the stinger on and put in the stock cube please, 500 mil" I instructed, he groaned and did it. 

"Should've stayed mate" Charles said quietly, I heard it still. 

"What was that?" I snapped, silence, I didn't say anything else, he knew he had one more strike before he was out the kitchen. 

I continued weighing out the rice and all that stuff, putting olive oil and paprika seasoning and a few other spices into frying pan, I always felt like a proper chef when I did stuff in the frying pan. Max was doing all the chopping and I did the cooking, this made the whole process far quicker, whilst I put Charles on washing up duty.

By the time both Iris and Pierre were feeling better, since they'd thrown up anything they had in their stomachs they were both hungry as. I served them first, handing everyone a plate of paella, I took my seat next to Charles, I was supposed to be opposite Lando but the way he was eating was seriously triggering so I swapped with Charles being opposite Iris now. 

"Thanks Estrella, this is boom" George tapped our glasses together, they were both water, no more alcohol this weekend. 

"No worries, it's a pleasure, considering I made you lot all cook for me yesterday" I smiled. 

"What's going on with that, when's it getting released?" Lando asked with his mouth full. 

"Mia is editing, she was telling me the youtube editors are helping, apparently she fancies one, that's what Rebecca said anyway" I was specifically speaking to the girls, I knew the rest of them wouldn't care. 

"Is she the blonde one from the other day, with the bloke asking her weird stuff" Charles said, I looked at him with a soft smile, he cared about my social life and my friends. 

"Oh my gosh you paid attention, yeah it is her" I was so happy, it was such a simple thing but it meant so bloody much. 

"Course I paid attention, what happened to the other one?" He put a spoonful of rice into his mouth when he finished. 

"Aaliyah, she's gorgeous, but I don't know man every single person she speaks to just has something off about them" I slowly turned my head to George as  I spoke "Unless, George?"

"Nope" He didn't even look up from his plate. 

"Why not?" I complained. 

"Cause I don't want to force anything" 

"Fine, fair enough" I huffed. 

"How old is she?" Charles' hand fell to my thigh, bringing my attention back to him. 

"Hang on" I knew the year she was born so I was counting on my fingers to figure out how old she was "Twenty six"

"Perfect, Lorenzo" He shrugged, my eyes widened, it was perfect "Do you have any pictures of her?"
