Since moving to London with Radu, all you had done was buy takeaways and eat out at restaurants.

All you wanted was a home cooked meal, you were so bad at cooking and it wasn't something that you liked.

So you knew when Radu had a few days off, you decided to book a one to one cooking lesson with a really big chef.

"Why do I feel so nervous doing this? what if we are so bad at it" Radu nervously whispered as you both walked in.

"I am sure they have seen people much worse cooks than us babe" you told him, trying to reassure him.

"True, right think we turn left and that is the room" he pointed as you headed in first.

"You must be Radu and y/n, lovely to meet you" you smiled as he greeted you as you stood patiently at the counter, wrapping your apron around you as Radu tied it up for you.

"Thank you" you smiled as the chef patiently waited for you both to finish as he handed you a recipe card.

"So we are making our own pasta, is that something you'll be okay with doing" he asked as you scanned through the card.

"Yes that sounds perfect, we do eat a lot of pasta so that would be great" you smiled as you watched on as he started to make fresh pasta something neither of you have done before.

"So you have seen me do it, do you want to try yourself?" he asked you as you and Radu both nervously looked at one another.

"There is nothing to be afraid of, we can't really mess up with this at all" He grinned as you read the instructions as well as watching the chef in front of you as you did everything right.

"They both look perfect now you need to put some filling inside the pasta, so we do it step by step" he told you as you eagerly watched.

After several minutes you had managed to make the filling and was putting the pasta in the boiling hot water, cooking it as you peeked at Radu who was nervous now.

"Right so it should be done now and we should be able to eat them once they have cooled down a little" you waited patiently for the cool down a little to try them as you cut into the piece of pasta.

"This smells so good" you whispered as you took a bite into it.

"Yum" you chewed as you covered your mouth as you turned to Radu who was also nodding as he chewed.

"Wow this is so good, I didn't realise how easy it was to make either. I really enjoyed that" he smiled.
