Open Heart: MC X Sienna

Shopping

Sienna Trinh's POV

Felix is humming while whisking some eggs. The dark brown chino shorts hang from his waist, making me shamelessly gawk at his fit, lean... well, hips. He has wireless headphones on and is deeply engrossed in whatever is playing inside of them. He looks very peaceful while cooking. Is his peripheral vision weak or something? Why hasn't he spotted me yet? I am so desperate for acknowledgement right now!

He puts the eggs aside and opens the fridge to pull out two oranges. He begins peeling them with ease, reminding me that how my dear boyfriend never even does this minimalistic of tasks. I always have to cut the fruits and place them in front of him with a fork, only then would he eat otherwise he'd never bother cutting or peeling the fruit on his own.

He places the oranges aside and I see his biceps contract and relax just like in those slow motion scenes in action flicks.

"Sienna! You're home early" he is taken aback upon seeing me.

"Ah, hey! Yeah" I reply embarrassingly. Hope he didn't spot me ogling him shamelessly.

"I... Jackie said that you wanted to spend the weekend with Wayne"

I did! I had no plans on coming back home on this fine Saturday morning but things took such a turn that I found myself out of breath in Wayne's apartment.

"The plan changed" I answer dismissively. He takes a hint and nods. Hopefully, he won't question me regarding this particular matter anymore.

"Er I know Wayne might've treated you to a breakfast already but I still offer you what I am making. Nothing fancy, just omelette and toast" He says rather shyly as he pulls off his headphones.

"Yeah, I did eat..." I am lying through my teeth "But I won't turn down a good omelette" I am feeling hungry as hell! Wonder why I had not felt this before he put forth the offer? And did he say what he said as a taunt? Wayne, treating me to breakfast? Does he really believe that? I only wish I was that lucky.

"Perfect!" he heads for the fridge again and gets two eggs. "Any preference? Yolk, egg white, sunny side?" and he chuckles "Well, these are the ones that I am good at. If there is something else..."

"Oh no, whatever you're making for yourself" I smile back at him. He shakes his head in understanding and breaks the two eggs, adding them to the bowl with already two whisked eggs present in it.

I see that he is done with most of the work. The onions, tomatoes and bell peppers are all chopped up. The dry spices are all placed beside the stove and he denies to let me work on the egg saying "What's the point of it being my treat if I let you do all the work?". God! That charming smile of his. Our relationship shocks me, confuses me and also makes me happy. We were ignoring each other by yesterday, not seeing eye to eye and today we are making breakfast together and cracking jokes like old times.

I like seeing him cook. I could watch him cook forever. He is the most content while cooking. I begin peeling two more oranges and then add them into the juicer. While the juicer works, I pull out the bread from the fridge. This is the last pack of bread. We need to get groceries. Anyways, I put the bread in the toaster.

"Do you want some coffee or tea?" Felix asks.

"The juice is fine, you?" I ask but he denies as well.

I pull out the jug from the juicer. The lovely citrus smell immediately surrounds us.

"And here goes the egg" Felix says to himself as he pours the eggs on the hot sauce pan which he had already buttered.

"There is quite a lot of butter I put in there. It is my cheat day after all, so mind it" he smiles, showing off his perfect white teeth.

"I am not gonna mind some comfort food right now" It is the only thing that'd make me feel good right now.
