His Kitten

Chapter Five - A Nice Guy

The next day was a mess.

My aunt and I spent a good two hours watching some of our favorite drama. It isn't American, but Korean instead as it bares the title called It's Okay, That's Love.

We were only on episode four or five and I was already getting more delusional about love.

The fact that Russell is a pessimistic when it comes to that topic, makes it even worse. Because even if he is my fake boyfriend, he should still do something a normal boyfriend would. Maybe then I wouldn't be as mean to him.

"Jane can you pass me some more of the cheese." Cece called as she sprinkled what was left on the top of raw, home made lasagna. "Thanks." She smiled when I passed her the whole packet of cheese.

I was in charge of making a salad. Of course it was different from yesterday's as this one has a more sweet flavor by the ingredients placed inside.

It was twelve fifteen and Russell will soon be here within twenty minutes. Stressing isn't something my aunt or I do, as we planned on letting the lasagna bake while he's here; so it remains fresh and hot.

"Where is uncle Robin?" I asked as I just realized Sam and him were no where to be found.

  "Probably out with Sam. You know how they are whenever they get days off from their jobs. Especially the carpeting business they do on the side."

  My uncle and cousin ran a carpeting business, making things out of wood. You name it and they'll probably make it or already have it made. They made my room set out of a dark amber which matched my light blue walls.

   "That's true. Those two are always working hard." I sighed with a smile.

  The oven dinged, allowing my aunt to know that it was time to cook the lasagna. And I just finished the salad as well.

   "Did you finish?" My aunt asked as she closed the ovens door, over looking what I was doing.

  "Yes. Just in time too." I said while placing the salad in the fridge, so it could remain fresh. There was a plastic wrap over the top of the bowl so it wouldn't dry out, a trick my aunt showed me.

  The time was now twelve thirty and my aunt and I were both getting ready with haste, due to Russell's arrival in a few minutes.

  I decided to go casual by wearing a mint green top with some denim jeans. Along with black flats for my shoes. Simple jewelry, and a bit of perfume. Nothing too special. The guy doesn't really deserve any of my effort actually.

The doorbell rang just as I reached the bottom floor of the stairs. I walked over to open the door but was pushed out of the way by my aunt.

I ended hitting the floor and landing on all four. I was surprised that she would do such a thing. Maybe Cece really did want to formally introduce Russell to who she really was.

"Nice to meet you I'm Russell." When I heard his voice my pupils widen and I quickly got off the floor before Russell could say anything about what happened.

"I'm Celia, Jane's aunt. Nice to meet you Russell." Cece said with a malicious smile. What was she up to?

  The oven soon beeped as the lasagna was done. My aunt walked over to attend it, leaving Russell and I alone.

"Here, I'll show you around." I said after shutting the door behind him. Russell followed me around the three story house as I was explaining the rooms.

After showing him downstairs and upstairs, I told him about the basement.

"That door over there leads to the basement." I pointed as it was located on a different level that had some stairs leading to it. "No one uses it, although my cousin Sam is planning on cleaning it this winter."
