The Luna Of His Night

Chapter 7: Little Temptress

Tessa's P.O.V

         School went by really quickly today. I decided to try out for the swimming team next week. Tailah and I spent the whole lunch playing charades. I saw Tyler a few times today but he disappeared after lunch. I asked Jaden if he had seen him and he told me that he had to go back home and that it was an emergency.

        I arrived home not too long before my brother. Mom was already home getting dinner ready. Seeing her in the kitchen brought back memories. It's been over a year since she last cooked for us. She's a talented chef. Her famous porc salle speaks for itself.

        When I got to my room I put my bag on my bed before laying down. I was about to fall asleep when I heard my mom calling me. Oh no, I love having her home but I had forgotten how annoying she could get. I replied to her before going downstairs. When I got to the kitchen, she looked up at me from her cookbook. 

"Lequel penses tu que je devrais cuisiner? Mon fameu porc salle aux epinard, ou mon steak aux poivre?"(Which one do you think I should cook? My famous salty pork with spinach, or my pepper steak?" 

"Eh, je prefere le porc sale."(I rather the salty pork)

"D'accord ma cherie. Porrais tu prepare le jus d'orange s'il te plait?"(Alright my darling. Could you prepare the orange juice please?"

"D'accord, j'y vais"(Alright, I'll go)

        After preparing the juice, mom called Scott to set up the table. I was sitting on the couch watching Dans La Peau d'un Chef when my phone rang. Tailah's name flashed across my screen and I answered.

"Hey girl!"

"Hi boo!"

"What's up, what are you doing?"she said

"I'm watching Dans La Peau d'un Chef. What about you?"

"I'm eating pretzels. What's the challenge today?"

"They have to make une Charlotte aux fraises et aux franboises."

"Sounds like a dessert to me."

"It is."

"I only watch that show for Chef Michalak. It's not like I understand a word that they're saying anyway."

"I don't think Jaden would like the idea of you checking out Christopher now would he?"

"Hey!!!" she said and I chuckled at her.

"Why don't you worry about your man?"

"One, he isn't answering his phone, and two, he's not my man."

"Really? So he's just a friend from school that you make out with." I froze at her words.

"How do you know ab... I'm going to kill Scott."

"When were you planning on telling me this. I thought we were friends." she said in a fake offended tone.

"Okay fine, I'm sorry. I forgot."

We stayed silent for a moment.

"What are you doing?" she half yelled, making me jump.

"What?"

"I'm waiting for you to start telling that story."

"Oh right." 

I took a deep breath before speaking.

"So I was kick boxing and..."

"Wait, my bag is done. Let me go get some Doritos before you start talking."
