Twist Of Fate (KimPie)

Confession

  - In the kitchen -

Kim is preparing two dishes, her signature dish Tom Yum Goong and an additional recipe, Som Tum (Spicy Green Papaya Salad).

Pie is on the seat beside the dining table while Kim prepares the ingredients. "Where were you these past few days, Kim? Why can't I reach you via call?" Pie asked.

Kim glanced upon Pie in a blink of an eye. "I'm on a vacation..and finding a good signal there is tough." she responded.

"Vacation? Where?" Pie asked seems interested to know.

"Nan province." Kim answered.

Pie looks astonished. "Really? That's too far away from here in Bangkok. Then who you're with? Zee?"

Kim only shook her head while chopping some ingredients.

"Then who?" Pie curiously asked.

"Was that important for you to know baby?" Kim teases with a little smile drawn on her lips.

Pie looks upon her intently forefinger gesturing."Hey you, slave. Don't tease me like this.. You're changing my mood. Tell me honestly.. Please??" Pie asking and begging like a child.

Kim giggles.. "Nahh.. Never mind about it Pie.. It doesn't matter."

Pie's face became profound. "It does matter."

'Oh no.. Why is Pie acting like this? Is she jealous or something? Haha.. Maybe yes? Maybe no? Should I keep on teasing her to further know about her feelings for me if there is?' Kim told herself.

"Why you gotta know baby? Are you jealous eh?" Kim teases again.

Pie stood up and stands beside Kim. "I am.." she whispers but she makes sure Kim didn't hear her.

"I wanna help you prepare the ingredients.. What should I do?" Pie said leaving the jealous thing Kim talks about as she picks up a small knife on the table.

Kim drops the medium-sized knife. "Let me help you.." Kim positioned herself behind Pie and picks up the peeler knife. "Put that small knife back to where it belongs, that wouldn't kill anybody." Kim said funnily.

Pie placed back the small knife. "Yes, chef!" she said irritably.

Kim laughs inwardly. "This is the peeler, this is being used for peeling, okay? We'll peel this papaya.." Kim explained as she demonstrates how it shall be done. She gave the peeler to Pie. "Your turn, baby.." Kim said who's fond of calling Pie a baby.

Pie who's in front of Kim is jollied enjoying the precious time being with Kim with a persistent smile on her lips. She tried peeling the papaya but she failed then she tries it again another failure because she's doing it wrongly.

Kim is shaking her head while watching Pie then she held Pie's right hand, she holds it firmly. "You have to hold the thing like it belongs to your system." she said rhetorically.

Pie felt Kim's vigorous grip and the palm was like burning hot on her skin.

Kim hold the papaya with her left hand. Pie is now between Kim's arms as Kim stands behind her with her back against the front of her body, their faces just a breath away. Pie's forehead is sweating and she's feeling the butterflies flying in her tummy.

Kim moves Pie's hand to peel the raw papaya vegetable.. "As simple as that, Pie." Kim said then Kim detaches herself fully from Pie and continue doing her own task.

"Okay I got it now.. Like this?" Pie said showing to Kim the peeling thing.

Kim smiles. "Wow, you're such a fast learner, baby.."
