Garden Boy

Chapter 25

Selena POV

* FOUR MONTHS LATER *

"OH CRAP! OH CRAP!"

I run over to the stove as I see black smoke coming from the stove. Oh shoot, a fire!
I start to panic, not knowing what to do as I look around for something to put out the fire. How could this happen over wanting scrambled eggs?!

"Hey Sel, what's that smell...OH MY GOD!"

"Oh god, Zayn help!"

He runs to the pantry and pulls out a small fire extinguisher. He runs over to the stove as quickly as he can.

"Stand back!"

As soon as I stood back, he gets the fire extinguisher to work and puts out the fire as quickly as he can. Once he puts it out, he sighs of relief and wipes his forehead.

"There, it's out"

He turns around, tossing the fire extinguisher to the side. He walks over to me, putting his hands on my shoulders, checking me out.

"Are you okay?"

"Y-Yeah"

"Did you get hurt?"

"No. But the stove did" I rolled my eyes, I walked to the table and sat on a chair with my cheek over my fist.

"I can't do anything right! I try to fix our bed, I get tangled with sheets and fall. I try washing the clothes, I put the color clothes with the white clothes and the washer machine starts to have soap coming out of it. I can't even cook eggs without setting the place on fire! I'm the worst"

"No love. It's just takes time for people to learn these type of things"

"Yeah when they're kids"

He sits down next to me, takes my hand before kissing my fingers and strokes them with his thumb.

"Listen Sel. You're not the worst, okay? You come from a rich family so your parents had other people do the work for you guys. They never got to show you so it's not your fault. But you will learn eventually, but it'll take time alright?"

"Alright. I guess so" I sighed, rolling my eyes.

"Smile babe"

"No" I shook my head, slightly glaring at him.

"Look at me and smile" he teases, tickling my waist which causes me to jump up a few times and chuckle.

"That's my girl"

He leans over, giving me a kiss on my lips, which I obviously melt into. I swear whenever he kisses, I can still feel the fireworks there.  

It's been four months now since I left home and came to live here at the cabin with Zayn. Things have been going perfect for us, except for the fact that he does most of the cooking and cleaning since as you already saw, I can't.
But other then that, it's been perfect here. Zayn got a new job as a mechanic at a friend's mechanic shop which he gets paid a ton. I feel so free.
Not only I have no one to boss me around, I get to wear what I want, do what I want, and eat what I want! Just last night, I had pizza for dinner while watching tv with Zayn. It was great!
