"You okay?" I ask her when the two of us meet halfway through the yard.
"I'm fine...maybe I should ask you that. What's going on Landon?" I can see the worry on her face...my private hell is causing her to worry...
"Let's go inside okay." I say lightly as I start towards the house.
When I feel her take my hand, I fight the urge to shake her off...I don't want him seeing her touch me...I know it will only make him angry if he sees us touching each other.
"Holy shit that smells good." I say as I step into the kitchen and the smell of her cooking hits me.
"I followed the recipe to the T and it looks like the picture so hopefully it's good." Faith says as she lifts the lid off to show me what she has cooked.
It looks like there is an entire chicken in the pot of red sauce. I count two legs, thighs, and two breasts of chicken and there are a couple of wings in there too.
"Why the whole chicken? Wouldn't just using boneless chicken breast be easier?" I ask as I pluck a mushroom off the side of the pan and shove it in my mouth.
"I'm sure, in a pinch, that would work but from what I read; the best way to make this, is to start with a whole bird. The skin and the bones give it the best flavor."
"Can I eat it now?" I ask as I try to reach back in the pan but she swats my hand away and puts the lid back on.
"No it needs another two hours at least."
"That sooo long." I whine.
"Is my baby hungry?" Faith asks with a sneaky grin on her face.
"Starving. School lunch is crap." I mutter as I start opening the cupboards to try to find something to snack on.
"Close your eyes and open your mouth." She giggles as she stands behind me.
"Oh baby." I say as I turn around and close my eyes.
I feel the tips of her fingers press against the side of my face as I stand there with my eyes closed and my mouth hanging open. Cold metal touches my lip before I feel the spoon slide across my tongue.
"Close." She whispers and I close my mouth as she pulls the spoon out of my mouth and the tastes of cold mint and chocolate hits my tongue. The texture is smooth as silk and the flavor explodes in my mouth. A small groan escapes my throat as I savor the taste.
"What was that?" I ask when I open my eyes.
"It's called grasshopper pudding; just a little dessert I put together. I spotted fresh mint at the store and just had to make it."
"Dessert? As in I can't have more until after dinner?" I ask as I place my hands on her hips.
"You want another bite?" She grins.
"Yes please." I almost sing out.
I watch her scoop another spoonful of the sweet goodness out of a small glass bowl and I open my mouth with anticipation. Just when I think she's going to put the spoon in my mouth she shift forward and shoves the spoon into her own mouth with a grin.
"Hey! That was mine." I whine.
The smile disappears from her mouth as her lips pucker and she beacons me with her finger. Her hands slide over my throat as I dip my head down and consume her mouth with my own. I slip my tongue into her mouth and the taste of mint and chocolate coats my mouth as our tongues dance together.
