"Oh Levi my sweet boy, I love cooking and I don't get to show it off often now." Nana said holding Levi's hand. "But you shouldn't have cooked this much food." Levi said with a sigh. "But we have a guest tonight." Nana said. Levi chuckled "Mia is not a guest. She has been here all her childhood and teen years and on top of that she is a supermodel now. She eats nothing. You should take care of your health and not exhaust yourself in the kitchen." Nana laughs "I am not exhausting myself. I enjoy cooking for my sweet sweet boys." She said as she smiled at me and Levi. I didn't even try to convince her to hire a cook. She always refuses. So I told Levi to try this time because she always listen to him but she rejected his proposal too. Nana loves cooking, she always have. But when we came to city she cooks a feast for breakfast, lunch and dinner. She doesn't even let Martha help her. Martha is the house help I hired for her. She lives with her all the time taking care of the house and her. I sighed in defeat loosing the same battle one more time. Nana is stubborn. If she decides anything she does it no matter the world is telling her to do otherwise. After our defeat me and Levi sat on the dinning table. Martha is setting the table. The table is filled with good smelling meal. We have chicken, pasta, variety of salads, three different kinds of mashed potatoes. Nana had cooked meal for an entire village, not for four people.
Door bell rings. Chris opened the door. He helps Martha in her chores. After a few seconds passed Mia enters dressed in a simple white top and a white skirt, but there is nothing simple about her. She is holding a bouquet of roses in her hand. She beamed at us. I can't stop staring at her. She is beautiful. Seeing her smile carefree, something inside my chest moves. Nana comes out of the kichen and walked towards Mia "oh you are here Mia. Come on give me a hug" and then she wrapped her in a tight hug. "Hello Mrs.Jones, it's been so long how have you been?" She asked still wrapped in a hug. Nana frees her and held her hands in her's. "Good. It's been long indeed. Look at you you have grown. You look so pretty. But you had been too thin." Mia laughed. "You should tell that too my trainer. He always tells me to loose few more pounds." Nana looked at the bouquet in her hand. "Are those for me?" "Yes!" Mia beamed and gave her the bouquet. "I have made it for you from my mom's rose garden." "They smell so good. Thankyou" Nana said and walked her to the chair right next to Levi.

"Oh you have cooked so much food Mrs.Jones." Mia said as she looked at the table spilling with various dishes. "It's nothing." Nana said as she took her seat. "I told nana, Mia is a supermodel now she wouldn't even eat that much. You know model diet." Levi said. Mia playfully smaked his shoulder. "I eat normally. During fashion week I have to diet. But that's okay, I get to go be who I have always wanted. Small price you have to pay for your dreams." "Ouch that hurts." Levi said rubbing his shoulder. "And you said I don't eat." Mia said to him with a smirk. Nana laughed. "You two haven't changed a bit since you were kids." Mia and Levi smiled at eachother then at nana. We ate our meal chatting about our past memories. Nana describing tales of quarrels between Levi and Mia. Oye dinner was filled with laughter and old sweet memories. With great food I got the best view in front of me, Mia laughing so much that her cheeks turned red. Her curls falling over her face and she moving it side from her fingers. I could be like this for a lifetime, seeing Mia, Levi and Nana happy. The sight in front of me makes my chest heavy. I want this, I want this thing to last forever. One thing I could change about the moment will be Mia sitting across me not in front me. Mia sitting in the table not as Levi's friend but as mine.
