Cyn: hi.

Erica: can we talk

Cyn: sure, let me just finish frying this chicken.

Erica: ok, is there anything I can do to help?

Cyn: yes, can you drain these potatoes and mash them*pointing at the pot of bubbling water*

Erica: um, sure *looking around the kitchen for her mittens*

Cyn: it on the counter by the sink

Erica: k*picking up her mittens*now what?

Cyn; the drainer from the drawer, place it in the sink. Then come get the pot on the stove.

Erica: ok*doing what cyn said* done

Cyn: now poor the potatoes in bowl and get the crusher and mash it.

Erica: that it, that's how you make mash potatoes* mashing the potatoes*

Cyn: no silly, you need to add milk and salted butter.

Erica: oh, well I done mashing them.

Cyn: ok, now put like three pieces of butter in it, and a little bit of milk. Not a lot, take your time.

Erica: ok, I can do it.* putting in the butter and pouring a little bit of milk in the bowl.* like this.

Cyn: perfect, now mix it together.

Erica: ok, *mixing everything in the bowl* ok I'm done.

Cyn: good job, put some on the spoon and taste.

Erica: mmm, its good.

Cyn; yup, and its home made. None of that just add water crap.

Erica: so what next ?

Cyn; sorry but everything is done, you can set the table outside. I will give you more lessons another day. It kind of a warm night, we should eat out on the patio

Erica: thats a good idea

Cyn dished out the food and carried them to the table, erica went and got the drinks from the kitchen. Cyn made ice cold lemonade. They sat looking at the lights reflecting on the pool, after saying grace.

Erica: so um, about what happen.
Cyn: its ok, I'm sorry for forcing you to do something your not comfortable with. Thinking about it now, I'm ashamed of my actions. I acted no better than Brandon did. I will be sleeping in the guest room from now on.

Erica: no way

Cyn: its best if we sleep away from each other, that way I can keep my hands to myself.

Erica: cyn, no. It  my fault. I'm scared ok. I know you told me to trust you. I just afraid of losing you. I don't want you to regret being with me. You could be with anyone, look at Edward he only met you yesterday and he was already captivated. What if seeing me naked disgust you.

Cyn: erica, babe. That can never happen. I love you so much, like I never been drawn to anyone like I am to you. I love the way you smile, I'm jealous of that beauty mark just above your lip. You always smell so good. Your body is freaking hot.

Erica:*blushing* cyn

Cyn: I'm doing it again, aren't I. I'm sorry.

Erica: its ok, its not you that the problem its me. I need to stop being such a worm and grow a back bone. I would say balls, but I already have them* sighing*

Cyn: babe.

Erica: its ok, let's enjoys the food.*taking a bite of her chicken* this is really good thanks for the meal and for showing how to not ruin a simple thing like mash potatoes.
