Peter Parker

Chapter 14

Chloe's POV

Aunt May embraced me with big smiles and warm hugs. She later on introduced me about the kitchen; my daily duties and responsibilities. We also had a tea together, filled with laughter and chats, until she asked me a question that instantly made my heart race,

"So, how are you and Peter? "

"M.. Me, and Peter? "

"Yes dear, how is it going in the University? "

I breathed out in relief. Of course! What could I possibly be thinking?

"oh,its doing great aunt May."

"mhm I see. Chloe why don't you come stop by to have dinner with us later? Peter promised me that he will cook tonight."

Peter, cooking? Oh my. The thought of it-

"Chloe? "

"Y-yes,  aunt May. But I don't bring change."

"oh its fine, you look beautiful eitherway honey."

I gave her a faint smile, though my insides were screaming loud. Hours passed and we are now heading back to her house. Peter's house. I couldn't lie but my heart is beating hard as we walk closer and closer to the destination. At last, we stopped infront of the home of Peter Parker's.

"I'm home Peter!" Aunt May declared as we entered the house.

"Aunt May! I swear I didn't mean to break those glass cups-but there were so many I couldn't find where the salt is!" Peter stopped talking as he saw me. I blushed. Looked down. Hid the embarrasment which was supposed to be his. Then I saw Aunt May's small kitchen that turned into a mess under Peter Parker's care.

"Chl-"

"My! Peter...I'm not mad, just thought you could have been more careful. Besides! Being angry does not serve us dinner. Plus, we have a guest!"

"Aunt May, let me cook." I smile. I realized that Peter's eyes are still not off me,and my cheeks are getting redder in every seconds.

"dear but-"

"please let me. You've had a long day at work today. Let me return the favor. I'm sure I can cook while Peter cleans up, right Pete? "

Peter blinked. Still did not say a thing.

"very well if you insist. I will be in my room! Thank you Chloe."

In no time she dissapeared, and here we go again. Peter and I.

"aunt may is my boss" I lightly say. I saw him raising his brows,

"how coincidental." he laughed, shaking his head. Wait... he does not think I did this on purpose right? Because he found out that I'm his biggest secret admirer-

But instead I say, "Yeah, it's funny how we kept bumping to each other." 

Peter instantly replied, "You don't sound very excited about that"

"Are you?" I asked back.

He raised his shoulders, "Well, we do live in the same neighbourhood. You're my friend at college anyway. I don't mind at all."

I smiled. So he does not mind.
