Not Just Your Average Human

Chapter 19: Bad Influence!?

~Kelly's POV~

I awoke to the sound of my alarm that I never get to use because Mom hates the sound. It was so fun playing and hanging out with Leo yesterday.

'Is he awake?' I asked myself opening the door to the room where he was staying.

'Nothing. Maybe he's already downstairs.' I thought, making my way downstairs.

As soon as I stepped into the living room the sweet aroma of food from the kitchen filled my nostrils. The aroma was even stronger when I walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning," Leo said as soon as he realized I entered the room.

"Good morning, Leo. What are you making?" I asked curiously.

"You'll see." He replied with a smirk.

"Whatever it is, it smells absolutely delicious," I commented.

"Good. I hope you'll like how it tastes as well."

"I'm sure I will. Why did you decide to make breakfast? I could have done it." I asked.

"Well, I felt like doing something for allowing me to stay. I had a lot of fun so I wanted to thank you with one of the few things I'm good at, cooking. Plus you've never had my cooking before." Leo replied with a shy smile.

"Oh, okay," I said then sat down and waited patiently, enjoying the delicious aromas as Leo cooked.

He was finally finished, the breakfast looked absolutely delicious but I did know what it was all I know was that in involved eggs and bacon.

"What is this?" I asked.

"It's a Souffle omelette and eggs Benedict. It's best when it's just finished. If you don't eat the souffle quickly it'll deflate." He warned.

I took a bite and it was absolutely delicious. The omelette was nice and soft it seemed like it just melted in my mouth. It also jiggled like jelly by just touching it with a spoon. The Eggs Benedict was also delicious. The eggs were perfectly poached and the bacon was perfectly Krispy. Overall this breakfast was perfect.

"This is amazing! I wish you could cook for me all the time! Hehe." I joked.

"I'm not that good. Both Ryder and Dexter cook a lot better than I do." Leo said degrading himself.

"I haven't had their food yet so this is the best meal I've ever had," I said forcing him to accept my compliment.

"My food is nothing compared to there's but T-thank you for the compliment." He said shyly.

"I'm only speaking the truth," I commented.

"Umm... If you like it so much... I-I could... Maybe make your lunch sometime? Since the cafeteria food isn't that good and it's pretty expensive." Leo suggested.

"You'd really cook for me?" Kelly asked shocked.

"Yeah. I mean you do like my cooking so I wouldn't mind making your meals."

"Oh my gosh! Thank you so much!" I said the hugged him because I was so happy I'd be guaranteed an amazing lunch at least once.

When I broke away from the hug he was blushing and seemed to be frozen. So, I waved my hand in front of his face until he started reacting.

'I guess he's still not over that shyness towards girls they told me about. Now that I think about it he has been pretty shy. He didn't even want to tag me in hide and seek. Or sit next to me when we watched that movie last night. Maybe he only got better at talking to girls but not being too close to them. It's actually kinda cute because toddlers do that sometimes. Hehe. He's like a little kid.'
