(Katrina)

I get up that morning, and get dressed to go to work. "Bye Luke! I'll see you after work, and I'll make dinner!" I call out on my way out of the door. "Okay bye dandelion!" He calls out then I close my door. I get to my car and drive to work.

"Hey guys so what kind of carnival food are we making today?" I ask as I walk into the resturant. They all look at me and shake their heads quickly. "Who is that?!" I hear someone yell from the kitchen and cringe slightly because I know that voice very well. "Is that you Katrina?!" She yells again and I turn around and put on a fake smile. "Hello Mrs. Waters! How are you?" I ask in a sickingly sweet voice. "I'm fine how are you?" She asks and smiles at me. "I'm good. Might I ask what you're doing here?" I ask and she laughs. "Well this is my resturant after all, and I'm just here to check on my sales." She says and I nod my head. "Well since I've been you're executive chef your profits have doubled." I say and she nods. "Very well then. I also came by to learn about your carnival themed menu. Care to tell me able that?" She asks and I take a deep breath. "Well when I was a little girl I went to the carnival every year, and since the carnival is so iconic to a lot of people's history I thought that we could try to come up with a theme to boost profit. Which it successfuly has." I say and she nods. "Well I would love to try this carnival themed menu. So I'll be here for the dinner service." She says and turns towards the door. She walks to it, and she's almost out the door when she turns around and looks at me straight in the eyes. "Don't disappoint me, or you will be fired." She says and I nod my head. She leaves the resturant and I breath a huge sigh. "Are you okay, Katrina?" Lilac asks and I shake my head. "No, but I'm glad that only my job's on the line instead of yours. Any ideas for tonight's menu?" I ask and they all look down. "Guys I really need some ideas. My job is on the line, and I need your guys help! If you were really my friends then y'all would help me!" I say and then they look up at me. "I had the best fried pizza with homemade tomato sause." A boy says and I smile at him. "Can you give me a recipe with that?" I ask and he smiles. "I can deconstruct it, and I could add some really cool spices to give it a sort of flare." He says and I nod. "What's your name? I'm sorry I didn't ask earlier." I ask, but he just shakes his head. "My name's Luis Copper." He says and I give him a hug. "It's nice to meet you Luis. Thank you so much." I say and he smiles. "It's my pleasure to help you. You were the one who gave me a chance." He says and I remember him after he says that. "I remember you now. You had some of the best knife skills that I've ever seen." I say and he blushes. "Thank you." He says and I nod. "Okay people anymore ideas?" I ask and I hear someone suggests,"How about some corn dogs? I mean everybody remembers those!" I smile and nod my head. "Great idea! I need one more!" I say, but then I hold up my hand. "Wait! They have a booth there and they serve original Southern classics. So how about we throw it back in her face?" I suggest and I hear everyone claps there hands. "Okie-dokie artichokes! Lets get to work!" I say and we all go into the kitchen.

After dinner service, I get in my car and drive home. I walk into the house to see Luke not in the living room. I lock the front door behind me, and run up to my bedroom. "Luke Hemmings where are you?!" I yell and open my bedroom door to see Luke standing there inside of my closet. "What are you doing in my closet?" I ask and he shrugs. "I just wanted to see what kind of clothes you have." He answers simply and walks out of the closet. He walks over to give me a hug, but I step out of the way. He gives me a hurt look and I look down. "It's not you,trust me, I just really want to be alone." I say and walk into my closet. I pull out a pair of black shorts and a black hoodie. "I'm just going to go and take a shower then I'll make dinner." I say then walk into the bathroom. I lock the door behind me then cut on the shower. I wait for a few minutes before I get in and just stand under the shower head. I get out after maybe fourteen or fifteen minutes then head downstairs to the kitchen. I look over at Luke,who's at the couch watching TV, and I start to feel bad. "Hey Luke, what do you want for dinner?" I ask and he looks at me. "Didn't you say that you wanted to be alone?" He asks and I walk over to him. "Look I'm sorry. I just had a really really really bad day." I say and he looks at me. "So you take it out on me." He says and I sheepishly nod. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that to you." I say and he looks at me. "I forgive you." He says and I hug him. "So what do you want for dinner?" I ask and he stands up. "How about something...Chinese." He says and I look at him. "You want Chinese food?" I ask and he nods. "Yes please like eggrolls, potstickers, dim sum. Stuff like that." He says and I shrug my shoulders. "Sure! Coming right up." I say and get to work on his food.

I finish his food and hand him three plates. "I'm just going to go to bed. I'm not really that hungry." I say to him and head up the stairs to my room. I'm halfway up the stairs when I hear Luke call out "Come here" from behind me. I walk back down the stairs and keep walking until I'm standing right in front of him. He pulls me down until I'm in his lap. "What's wrong, Katrina?" He asks and I look down. "Nothing. I'm fine. I'm okay." I say and he laughs. "You're not okay. You're not fine, and it's certainly NOT nothing. So I'm going to ask you again: What's wrong, Katrina?" He asks again with a little more force in his voice and I sigh. "My boss came and told me that if she didn't like the menu that she was going to fire me." I say and I lean my head on his chest. "Are you fired?" He asks and I shrug. "I honestly don't know. I mean she came in, ate the food, then she left. She didn't tell me or anyone anything." I say and he hugs me tighter. "You're an amazing cook, and very beautiful. That lady must be absolutely crazy if she fires you." He says and I laugh. "I really like my job, and I really hope that she doesn't fire me." I say and he laughs a little with me. We fall into a comfortable silence, and I pull myself closer to him and start to trace different types of patterns on his arm. "You know what?" I ask and he hums. "I don't know what." He says. "I think that I love you. No, I know that I love you." I say to him softly. "I love you too, Katrina." He says to me in a soft voice. "I've never told anyone that before...it feels good to say it." I say in the same soft tone. "Is there something else that you're not telling me?" Luke asks and I sigh again. "You know me all too well. I'm sad that you're going to have to leave next week." I say and he sighs too. "I know and I'm so sorry, but we couldn't get anymore time." He says and I try to lighten the mood. "I'm not going to miss you I'm going to miss your voice. How else am I suppose to sleep?" I ask and his face hardens. "I'm just kidding! I'm really going to miss you." I say and he relaxes. "I'm going to miss you too, and if you can't sleep or if you just want to talk you have my number. No matter what time of day or night, I'll always pick up." He says and I smile. "I know you will and the same goes for me if you ever want to talk." I say and he kisses me for a long time until I pull back and yawn. "You want to go to sleep?" He asks and I nod my head before I yawn again. "Goodnight. I love you." I say and he kisses me again and says "I love you too." before he sings me to sleep.

I wake up the next morning and look at my phone.

You can keep you're job, Katrina.

I read it and breath a sigh of releif. "Luke I get to keep my job!" I yell at him as I shake him awake. "What's happening?" He asks as he sits up and I pass him my phone. He reads it and grins at me widely.
