Living with the Bad Boys

Twenty-Five

By the time I woke up, the sun was grapefruit orange and all the way down the horizon. There were more clouds above us than below so I pushed the covers away and went to the plane's living room.

There was no one there, and the lights were set dim so I went more up the plane when I found Caprian behind the counter of a small kitchen, or a bar-ish looking area.

"What is this? I swear from the outside there shouldn't be enough room for a kitchen." I said slipping in a stool.

"Theres more to the eye than what's seen." He smiled cutting garlic in an impossible rate.

"Where did you learn to cook? Seems you had practice." I said raising an eyebrow.

"Hm... starting from.. 6th grade? It was a topic from home ec." He said tossing the already cut cherry tomatoes, anchovies and the garlic in a oiled pan.

"Hmm.." I said with a smirk on my face. "I haven't started cooking till seventh. But even then, I had a cook as a dad so, I had some earlier training with the kitchen tools. We should definitely have a cook-off some time." I said fetching myself something to drink from the fridge.

"Oh, I don't know about that. I'd crush you to the ground. I'm hella good."He said sprinkling in some salt and some pepper.

"Oh, I'm sure you are. But just not as good as me." I said casually taking a sip of a Dr.Pepper.

"Yeah?" He asked fishing out noodles from a sauce pan in the back that I didn't notice till now.

He rolled up the noodles in a fork and a soup ladle and placed the rolled up noodles on a clean white plate ever so skillfully.

He then dressed the noodles with the vegetables and splashed some noodle broth before adding grated parmesan and a sprinkle of basil as a final gourmet touch. He turned the plate towards me and handed me a fork.

He watched me as I picked up the fork and twirled the noodles to my mouth.

I couldn't help the smiled that stained my face. This was good. Hella good.

"This was just something I did because I was bored. There aren't as much ingredients as I'd like, so I was limited to my projects. This is just a speckle of the wide variety of deliciousness I can create." He said with a smirk on his face.

He grabbed a fork too and ate some too.

"Hm. I knew I should have put some more garlic in." He muttered.

I basically licked the plate clean, but not all the way. Didn't want his ego to bloat.

"I admit, It was pretty good. But... as i said, I'm a chef's daughter.I won't lose so easily." I said waving the fork in his face.

I glanced at the clock and noticed we didn't have much time before arrival. "This rivalry will continue at the dorms. Just you wait."

I thanked him when he cleaned up the plate for me and went into my room to gather all my things for landing.

Just as I brought all my few things into the living space of the jet, the pilot's voice came through the intercoms. "Lady and Sir, we will be arriving in 30 minutes. Please be seated for landing."

Caprian came out of his own room and joined me on the couch.

The attendants came around and gave us last round of drinks and snacks, so I popped a bag of chips open and crunched my way through.

"You know.. there were foods in our room that we didn't take out before our trip started. They probably expired by now." He says all of a sudden.

I gasp. "What do we do? I've had that happen to me before! My refrigerator made my house smell like the bottom of hell. It took weeks to get rid of that smell with the help of a ventilator. We barely have a window in our room much less a ventilator."

He sighed deeply. 

"We should probably warn Seidon too by the way. I heard he's going to make it to school before us." He said grabbing a bag of chips off the table.

I grabbed my phone and went a quick text summarizing everything, and to be careful of his health and well-being.

After the text, I set down my phone after a thought that slithered into my mind.

"Hey Caprian, You know my mom is going to pull me out soon. I can feel it. She returned from her volunteering trip and she's the go-get-em type of moms so she likes to be kind of all 'president of PTA' and stuff.... so it won't take long for her to find out."

He was silent for a while in thought.

"I promise I'll visit you often though!" I said positively.

"It hasn't happened......yet.. so.. lets not think so much of it." He said 

It didn't take long for the plane land smoothly and find ourselves in the airport garage.

Jaeryn and Carter met us a while back near our gate, near the private sections, and handed me my bags then. So since then, we've been moving together.

"Miss Bonheur, your car is here." said a driver.

There were three sleek cars in a line specifically for us as our own drivers took our bags and opened the car doors for us.

I waved a temporary good-bye and rode off.
