How Do you Burn Water?

Prompt from Artemisflux on Tumblr; 'Sam and Ashley cooking together, one of them is an amazing cook and the other somehow manages to burn water'

I always alter these a bit to my tastes. Maybe I need to just stop that and actually focus in the actual prompt. . .meh.

"I'm hungry." Ashley said as she fell onto the couch right over my legs and looked up at me with big eyes. Her puppy dog look was way too much to handle sometimes, especially during times like this. I looked down at her slightly bumped up stomach and smiled gently as I placed my hand on it. She looked down and grinned, "See, I gotta feed the baby. It agrees that I need food." She said and I rolled my eyes, sitting her up and she followed me into the kitchen, "But I am definitely helping. I need to learn all of this. . .vegetarian cooking stuff." Ashley said, I raised an eyebrow at her, she looked around then looked at me innocently. "What? I promised you I'd try to convert to this. . .I'm really going to try. I promise not to cheat and get a Big Mac later." She gave me a small smile and I laughed, remembering when we first started dating that she absolutely hated not eating meat and kept sneaking off in the middle if the night to eat meat and make up lies when she came home. The thought of her cheating never even crossed my mind. . . mostly because she always smelt like a fast food joint when she got back and last time I checked those aren't the best places to get a hot one night stand. So I honestly didn't mind much if she went out. She would never cheat on me, at least I hope she never would.

"Come'on! Get out your frilly pink apron, your weird vegan recipes, and let's get to cooking!" Ashley said, making her way into the kitchen happily. I rolled my eyes and grabbed the apron she mentioned, she had no right to judge it since she IS the one who gave it to me in the first place. It was a sweet looking apron, goes down to my knees and has really big pockets which are actually very useful. I just ignore the pink roses decorating it and the frilly outline of it. When I walked in wearing it Ashley's grin just grew bigger as she hopped over to me and wrapped her arms around me. "You always look so good in that apron! Pink is definitely your color. I mean, so is red but pink is just amazin-- Imma shush now because of that look you're giving me and start boiling the water! Let's hope I don't burn it again this time. . ." She mumbled to herself and got the pots ready. I went over to the fridge and began to pull out the ingredients I would need. While Ashley cooked the noodles I decided to make some of my famous Layered Spinach Mostaccioli. Which everyone thought tasted better than normal Mostaccioli. So I guess I was doing something right. As I worked I could hear Ashley humming my favorite song under her breath, Untouched by The Veronicas. I visibly relaxed as I closed my eyes and just listened to her, wishing I could sing with her sometimes ir just have a conversation with her that wasn't so one sided. . .nothing I could do of course, muteness isn't cured just like that. . . .it's been so long since I have actually spoke that I have no idea what I would sound like. . . .I turned to her and walked up behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist and placing a kiss on her jugular, making her giggle a bit and I looked down at the water, raising an eyebrow and sighing. Letting her go I turned off the stove and turned to her, motioning to the stove with a bit of annoyance as she just sheepishly smiles up at me and scuffles her shoes onto the titled floor. I just poured the burnt water out into the sink, trying to figure out how she managed to do it. . .once again.

"Sorry Sammy. . . .I love you?" Ashley said, looking up from the floor and hunching down a bit. I walked up to her and kissed her cheek, mumbling very very quietly.

"I love you too." Ashley grinned and hugged me tightly. My throat hurt from just saying that. It's definitely going to take some time to get my voice back. But I will. . . one day. I'm going to try just for her.
