Something Best For Me

The Response

"Hmmm...." Colton said eating it. "It is actually really good, Zarina." He said after finishing the whole bite.

Oh thank lord!!

"Actually, it is made...."

No Zarina don't tell him... I prayed hoping she would be able to read my mind and stop.

"by Isla." Zarina told him.

God! Why couldn't she read my mind.

"Isla......who?" He asked with a confused expression.

Wow! He didn't even know my name!

And Zarina pointed towards me.

Colton looked surprised for a minute but then he put his stone face back and resumed eating.

.......without paying any attention to me.

You know what......I want to punch him in the face.

But I restrained myself from doing so.

Then I got lost I my own thoughts and started humming a song.

The train of my thoughts stopped when I heard the screeching of a chair.

"Well....that was a nice breakfast, Zarina. I loved it." Colton said standing up.

Then he took his court from her and while wearing it he said, "But next time Zarina, please make sure that no one is humming songs when I'm eating my breakfast."

And with that I turned the darkest shade of red and my jaw touched the ground.

He smirked at me and left.

Bipolar much! One minute all ignore me mood and now embarrassing me!

It was 11:30 and I was preparing the lunch for Colton when Zarina came in.

"So how is your first day going on.?" She asked me.

"Till now...all good. Hope it remains the same." I replied smiling at her.

"Oh Darling! I hope for the same." Zarina asked me and turned silent after that.

She started loading the dishes in the dishwasher.

So I continued with the preparation of lunch.

"Hey, Isla...um...I wanted to ask you something, If you don't mind." Zarina said breaking the silence.

"Sure go on, Zarina. Don't hesitate." I said looking at her.

"Um..yesterday when we were talking about no one else, but me being here and doing all the work and Colton being rude and all and you said something like 'I thought so.' so I wanted to ask if you both have met before."

When Zarina finished I gave her a confused look.

"I have this doubt because of the way Colton reacted to you today. I mean, I know he can be a pain in the butt at times but he always, you know, atleast acknowledge anyone who cooks well because he loves food."
