Just Friends??

Chapter 11

Henry's POV

After we got back to the farm and settled in Aaron started cooking dinner while I sat in the living room.

I start to read 'Pride and Prejudice' and I do have to say Cecil was right. It's really good I can see why his wife loves it.

I was so into the book that I didn't even hear Aaron come into the room.

"Henry?" Aaron asked sweetly.

I looked up and Aaron is standing in front of me staring down at me on the couch.

"Oh... yes?" I asked nervously.

"Dinner is ready." Aaron said extending his hand towards me.

I closed the book with it marked and took his hand. I stood up and he gestured me to the dinning room.

With Aaron right behind me my stomach dropped. I feel something is off.

We walked into the dinning room which is average size. The dinning table was an old hand crafted table, with hand crafted chairs. The table was a simple rectangle and had only four chairs. The kitchen and dinning room are my favorite thing in the room is the big window.

The window is maybe 4 inches from touching the roof and 4 inches from touching the floor. It width is average for a window. And there are simple gray curtains hanging from it.

Aaron pulls out a chair for me to sit and I of course obliged so there wouldn't be confrontation.

Aaron then pulled out a chair and sat next to me. There was some potatoes with meat on top of the potatoes and corn on top of the rest of it.

"It's called Sheppard Pie." Aaron said putting A1 sauce on his. "It's not actually what's in a Sheppard Pie, but this is the version you have when you're broke." Aaron said.

"Is it good with the sauce?" I asked him.

"Yup. Here put some in there to taste it." He said handing me the bottle.

I opened the A1 and poured it on there. When I was satisfied with how much A1 I closed it back up.

I looked at Aaron and watched him mix it all together in his bowel. I did the same.

After I was done mixing I took a bite. It was amazing! I didn't think it would be this good, but it is.

I still wasn't half way done when Aaron was. He got up from the table and walked into the kitchen to put his bowel in the sink.

He then walked to the fridge and pulled something in a big bowel out of it.

He sat it on the counter smiled at me and walked towards the living room. I was finished with my food by the time Aaron came back. I'm surprised I even finished it all.

He grabbed my bowel and took it to the sink. He grabbed two small bowels from the cabinet and sat them on the counter.

He got into the drawer and pulled out a scooping spoon and two regular spoons. He scooped out the contents out of the big bowel into the smaller bowels.

When he was done he put the big spoon in the sink and put the big bowel back into the fridge.

He grabbed the two smaller bowels and with a smile on his face he walked towards me. He sat down the bowel in front of me.

It was a bowel of fruit. It had apples, apricot and plums with cinnamon mixed in.

Aaron sat next to me and smiled waiting for me to take a bite. I picked up the spoon and took a bite. It's really good.
