Falling Slowly

Cooking

I yell "Hey no fair no attempting to distract your opponent!" Ethan smiles "Oh so my kisses are a distraction?" I avoid Ethan's question and look at Apollo "How much time do we have?" Apollo looks at Artemis "Maybe umm.. 1 hour." I smile "Ok." I run into the kitchen and start grabbing some food. I look to see Ethan happy and I look at him "What are you making?" Ethan smiles "You'll see." I look at him and smile "This going to be interesting." The two of us start cooking and laughing together. Ethan taste the broth i'm cooking "Add a pinch of salt." I nod my head and taste Ethan's shrimp "Amazing! But could use a squeeze of lime." Artemis and Apollo look at each other and fist bump "We're so smart." After I finish my dish I realize I made 4 and so did Ethan. I look at him "You grab the drink i'll get the cups." I put Ice in four cups and set the food out. Ethan pours the drinks and I look at him "We make a pretty good team." Ethan smiles "Yeah we do." I laugh "Now we smell like food food." Ethan laughs and I look at him then remember artemis and apollo "Food is ready guys!" They come over and sit down "You guys made this?" We nod our heads "Yup." Artemis smiles "It's even better than mom's cooking." I smile "Well she's still a great cook I guess we both surpass her." Apollo smiles "So what did you guys make?" Ethan smiles "I made paella a spanish dish with rice,spices, and seafood in it." I look at my siblings "I made Laksa peranakan cuisine composed of noodles chicken spicy curry and boiled sliced eggs." Artemis and Apollo look at each other "Wow it's so good." I smile "So who won?" Apollo looks at me "What?" Artemis looks at me "This was a bonding exercise..." I look at them "Oh I see." I look at Ethan "You are a great cook and any girl would be lucky to have you." I finish my food "I'm going to go clean up." I walk upstairs and Apollo looks at Ethan "...Luna is afraid of falling in love and trusting people so don't take it personally." Artemis nods her head "Yeah I can see she likes you a lot..." Ethan smiles "Thanks guys,but she already told me she likes me,but i'm not sure what type of like and don't want to jump to conclusions." Apollo looks at Ethan "Wow you're pretty dumb." Ethan looks at Apollo "Yeah I guess I am..."

I take a shower and walk downstairs in shorts and a white t-shirt my hair wet. I dry my hair with a towel "Hey which one of us is going to clean the dishes?" Ethan looks at me "I'll clean them." I look at Ethan and grab a napkin "You're bleeding." I clean his nose and smile "Why do you bleed when I wear shorts?" Ethan looks at me "You're being paranoid.'' I laugh "WHy don't we both clean the dishes? I clean and you rinse." Ethan smiles "Alright." We both clean and I make a soap beard "How do I look?" Ethan looks at me "Manly." I laugh and he makes a mustache I look at him "Woah a mustache nice." We laugh and I sigh "Alright dishes clean kids fed us fed and you can take a shower." Ethan looks at me and I look at him "Don't worry we got some clothes for you to change into." Ethan takes a shower and comes out in a wrapped towel around his waist. I look at him and my nose becomes hot and Ethan looks at me "You're getting a nose bleed." I touch my nose "Oh...not good." Ethan smiles "Didn't know my abs would make you have a nosebleed." I roll my eyes "Come on follow me." Ethan looks at me "What about your nose?" I begin walking "It's not a big deal." I open up the room "There should be some clothes here." Ethan looks at me "Who's room is this?" I open up the closet "This is a guest room it used to be Agustus room before he died..." I grab some clothes and hand them to Ethan "Don't worry they aren't my dead brother's clothes." Ethan grabs them "Then who's clothes are these?" I look at Ethan "My mom is one of those mom who buys big clothes for her kids. So those are Apollo's but he doesn't like baggy clothing." Ethan takes the clothes "Thanks." I smile "No problem i'll wait outside." I turn around and after 2 minutes Ethan walks out. I look at him "Wow Ethan in sweats and a t shirt." Ethan smiles "Yup and Luna in shorts once again." I pick up my phone "Hello?" Jake speaks into the phone "Luna it's me Jake." I smile "I know I can tell by your voice." Jake smiles "Yeah well I was wondering if you wanted to hang out tomorrow after school..." I look at ethan "um..." Jake smiles "please its to pick a anniversary gift for Mackenzie." i smack my forehead "oh yeah your anniversary is the day after tomorrow. Ill help you pick out a gift i have to grab some stuff too." Jake smiles "ok thanks." i smile "your welcome bye." Ethan looks at me "Are you doing something tomorrow?" I nod my head "Yeah i'm going to help him pick out a gift for Mackenzie." Ethan walks down the stairs with me "Are you buying something for anniversary?" I look at Ethan "No why?...WAIT we aren't even dating." Ethan looks at me and laughs "Luna have you ever celebrated anything?" I shake my head "No it's a waste of time " Ethan looks at me "Ok ok I see why you don't bother celebrating holidays." I look at Ethan "Are you going to sleep over?" Ethan looks at me "Yup." I look at him for three seconds "Ok." Ethan smiles "Can I sleep in your room?" I look at Ethan "No." Ethan looks at Apollo "It was worth the shot."
