Chapter 13 Him and sweet? No way

I woke up sleepy. I hate to wake up, well at least it's not early in the morning, it's only 10:30.

I walked to my kitchen to find it empty, oh I forgot Grace is on another work trip, so I think it's just me and Derek.

Speaking of the devil where is he?

I looked everywhere for him, then there was a note on the table with chocolate on it.

Well, this was his way of ditching me to go waste his time.

But at least there is my favorite chocolate

I lazily walked and picked it up

Morning sleepyhead,

I have to go do some important work, so I won't be back anytime soon, so take care and don't miss me so much ;)

Your favorite person in the whole universe

Handsome and charming

Derek ;)

I smiled reading it typical Derek,

I am all alone at home. Since no one is home and today is a holiday, let's do something different.

I am starving but I don't want to eat the cereal today and I am fed up ordering unhealthy food, so I think I am cooking

And hopefully, I will be edible.

Fingers crossed.

Blake P. O. V

I am so bored, I really want to do something.

So I thought about going out for a walk

I was walking by Hope's house, and I saw Oh my god is that smoke, I tensed up.

I ran towards her door, it was open so I pulled it opened as I did there were lots and lots of smoke, my blood instantly went cold. 'Hope'

I heard a coughing delicate voice and I visibly relaxed but I was still worried

So I followed the voice and it led me to the kitchen, it was a bit dark and getting hard to breathe because of the dark smoke, I saw windows and I quickly opened them. Slowly  the smoke faded and clear to see

Hope was there wearing a red top, grey faded jeans and she is wearing an apron?

"Are you crazy? Why do you always keep trying to kill yourself?" I yelled I don't want anything to happen to her

"I.. I " she shuttered and there were tears in her eyes, I can't see this, her sweet but annoying voice was breaking a bit, I didn't want to yell at her

I held her hand and sat her on a stool, I bent down in front of her, holding both of her hands

"What happened? " I asked her calmly

My voice calmed her down, " I was starving and didn't want to eat cereal, and almost every day I eat ordered food, I wanted a change so I thought of cooking-" she paused, she looked so innocent, so silly, so cute

"But I can't cook, I can bake but can't cook," she said looking down at the floor not meeting my eyes

She is so cute I want to pinch  her cheek, and she had pearl size tears in her amazing eyes

"You could have hurt yourself, you know that right? " I asked her politely

I don't want to scare her, she is already pretty shaken.

She nodded cutely

I am behaving like a girl, I keep repeating the word cute again and again, I need a doctor. like right now

"Go freshen up I'll take care of all this. hmm?" I said her smiling sweetly  

She wanted to protest, I know but I gave her a look which she didn't refuse, she got up from her place and went upstairs

I looked around 'I have a lot of work to do' I said. inhaled a breath and started cleaning up

Hope P. O. V

I walked up to my room, I was pretty much shaken, I could have killed myself again but like always. Blake always finds a way to save me even if we fight like there is no tomorrow

I smiled at that. he might be rude, arrogant, annoying and stupid but he always surprises me with a change of his mood

I mean he is The Blake Johnson. rude is his middle name ( not really ), I find it difficult to understand him

And today he is being sweet?

Him and Sweet? No way

I showed, put on sweatpants and a t-shirt, I pulled my hair in a messy bun and walked down to the kitchen

The kitchen was spotless like nothing had happened, is he a wizard or something because it would take me centuries to make it this spotless

"Wow," I said looking around. This is totally magic

"Did you do all this?" I asked disbelieved

"Yup," he said his back was facing me, he is facing the stove cooking something

"You can cook?" Today is full of surprises

"I love cooking, I use to help mom cook, " he said stirring  something "here try this," he said I walked to him, he lifted a wooden spoon and blew on it, I stared at it for a minute but took a chance

At least I won't die empty stomach

To my surprise it was delicious the sauce was so yummy.

He looked at me nervous

I gave him thumbs up " it's delicious, " I said licking my lips and he relaxed, I felt like I am in the show Master chief and I am the judge and he is a contestant

He is wearing an extra apron which was in one of the cupboards, the way he was cooking made him look like a professional

"By the way what were you trying to cook?" He asked as he added some vegetables in the pot

"Umm, I was. I was trying to cook pasta " I said looking down

"Oh," he said and continued to cook 10 minutes later he was done, he put a delicious looking plate full of pasta in front of me and without thinking twice I dug in

It was the best breakfast I've ever had

I guess he is not that bad, after all
