IRIS

WE DIDNT have school today, due to some reasons i dont know and i dont care off. which is funny cause they cancelled classes on the second day back.

"knock knock" i heard max say as he knocked on my room's door. "come in" i said as i sat up from my bed. he soon tackled me in a hug. and i mean tackled. he jumped on my bed and gave me a bone crushing hug. prevent the blushing iris. prevent it.

"soooo do u have food with you" i asked trying to stir the awkwardness from my body away. "none bubba. you should've told me to bring you some on the way here" he said playfully pouting.

"ya know what lets just go cook something together bubs. u like that?" i stood up and offered my hand out for him to hold. "yes bubba i like that." he said as he took my hand and i immediately pulled him down the stairs, him almost falling on one of the steps.

"what are we making bubba" he asked whilst sitting on the island in the kitchen. "hmm lets cancel cooking together and why not i just cook. you can just be the judge of my dish? i'll surprise you with my cooking skills" i smirked at him causing him to raise one of his eyebrows at me. "alright i'll be the judge of that." he said smiling.

i carefully laid out of all the things i needed and as well as the ingredients. ive actually dreamt for this day to happen. me cooking for max. call me delusional or weird but i made a special dish just for him a year ago before i decided to let my obsession tone down. like i made a recipe of my own.

i wasn't really paying attention to my surroundings anymore because i always get carried away with cooking. i love to cook, and i literally wished to own my own restaurant when i was young.

i didnt notice max was staring at me the whole time and sneaking some pics and vids of me here and there. oh and that my siblings were already sitting on the counter with max and they were talking. "oh hey you guys, i didn't see you there." i said smiling as i took a strainer from the cabinet. "you're just blind" my sister teased. "anyways sis what are you cooking now?" bella asked.

"i insisted to cook max something and he'll be the judge of it." i smiled facing them and max nodding. "you never insisted to cook for me? thats quite unfair lil sis" andre pouted. "life's unfair andre suck it up." i replied chuckling and andre smirking at me. "wait are you making THE dish!?" bella instantly smiled. they knew about the dish. they basically knew everything about me, my life and my feelings. but its alright since i know theirs too.

"hmm yeah" i was trying so hard not to blush. and for some reason a tad bit of nervousness flowed over me. "what do you mean THE dish?" max asked, his gaze moving from me to my siblings. "well just a dish iris ma— ANDRE SHUSHHH OH MY GOD" i quickly cut him off and i could hear max chuckling.

"im done!" i said as i turned around whilst holding the dish. "wait bubba did you make a dish just for me?" he asked smirking.

"and that's our cue to leave you both alone. enjoy!" bella said as she pulled andre with him. "so bubba did you???" he was now smiling at me and staring straight into my eyes. "uhhh i guess so— yeah i did." i could see his face light up more and i felt calmer now.

"anyways here it is bub! its my own secret recipe. i dont have a name for it yet but its not just a regular pasta with veggies and mashed potatoes at the side. theres also something i know you really love incorporated there." i smiled as i placed the dish infront of him.

he took his first bite and i swear to god he was smiling from ear to ear. "there's bacon bits isnt it?" he asked smiling and me nodding. "holy shit iris, this is amazing! bub i didnt know you are this good!" he took another bite and my heart was melting at the sight of him being so happy.

"ya know, no one has ever done this for me. im glad you were the first to do so." he smiled. "of course bub" i said as i stood up and took some pasta for myself.

we finished eating, and i finished cleaning the plates soon after. it was currently 3 in the afternoon and we decided to go back up to my room and binge watch high school musical the musical: the series. max went back downstairs cause he left his phone.

i scrolled through my instagram and decided to chek the boys' joint account. the comments on their posts were crazy. and a wave of sadness hit me. i remembered what the girl from school told me. max would never like you. he is too good for you. you're nothing compared to him iris.

i didnt notice max come back and flop himself beside me on my bed. "hey you alright?" he asked as he placed one arm around me. "yeah bub why wouldnt i be?" i tried to sound as normal as i can but i knew max can see through me.

"stop that. tell me whats up. please?" his grip on me became tighter, but comforting. "im just i dont know, still nervous and probably a lil scared to attend a new school." i lied. fuck you couldve just told him the truth iris.

"like what i said im going to be there for you every step of the way bub." i dont deserve this boy. he is too good for me. we started watching until i slowly felt myself drifting to sleep. and i couldve sworn max placed a kiss on my head but i brushed the thought off.
