Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 3

"Jen, this is sooo good. Like really good" she managed to say still with food in her mouth.

"I couldn't agree more with your Mom, you really are a star in the kitchen. You should be a Chef, you know."

I just smiled at her and watched her eat. I don't think she has any idea how cute she was nibbling the last baby corn.

To tease her more, "Now, I need to re-assess your age." Next thing I know half of the baby corn was flying towards me. I was shocked and can't help but burst out laughing.

"You see what you did? Because of your teasing, it costs me my baby corn." She was frowning.

Damn, does this lady know she's giving me butterflies in the stomach just by doing that? Wait, what? What butterfly? Since when did I felt something like that? I was still contemplating with my own thoughts when she spoke again.

"You will have to cook for me again tomorrow." Her hands were on her waist and looking at me intently.

"You don't have to threaten me Emma, You can just ask." I cannot believe the look she is giving me right now, she is definitely something. I mean, it's food we're talking about, only food but I feel like she could eat me right up if I don't cook for her.

"You know, what does this mean Emma?" lookin' at her still half smiling.

Her hands were still on her waist, "What?"

"You cannot live without me, like literally can't." Stunned by what she heard, she come close, closer than I expected and I myself wasn't breathing, our faces are inches apart, I could smell her breath when she suddenly laugh and pulls herself up. "Oh yeah, you're stuck with me, whether you like it or not." And she turned her back to clean the dishes. Oh boy, if she only knew, I have no objection at all.

The next day was no different from yesterday, there I was lying in the couch, staring at the ceiling when I heard my phone, I opened it and there's a message from the girl next door, oh yeah, we exchanged numbers yesterday.

I'm waiting.

I looked at the time, it was 7 pm. She's serious about the cooking yesterday.

God bless my grams for teaching me how to cook.

I changed my shirt and kept my short shorts, I wanna be comfortable today.

It was just 3 steps and I'm already at my neighbor's door knocking.

"Do I really have to text you?" she was nagging me.

"Well, hello to you too, neighbor." Is she serious? I walked directly to her kitchen grinning.

"I wonder what happened to Hi, Hello nowadays." I tried to look puzzled as possible as I continue to ransack her fridge. "It's still usable, you know. Use it just once in a while." I looked at her and find her not listening to me but checking my behind down to my legs.

"Saw something you like?" She looked at me startled and flashed her the biggest smile I could muster.

"Uhm, yeah. I mean, no. What are you talking about? Just cook ok?" She stomped out of the kitchen and sat in the living room, she's flipping through the channel but I'll bet my ass she's not watching anything in there. I turned my back again to what was I doing and started to cook. She was checking me out and that gives me a little bit of hope, hope that maybe, maybe there was a chance.

I finished everything in the kitchen and she recovered from earlier and decided to set up the table.

"I'm starving." She sat next to me and starts eating.

The whole dinner she didn't speak nor looked at me, maybe she's still mortified by what happened earlier. I cleared my throat hoping to ease the awkwardness.

"So, do you like it?" I asked.

She finally looked at me confused written in her eyes and started blushing again.

Before it goes anywhere, "No, no. The food, do you like the food?" I panicked a bit, worried that she may get the wrong idea.

She recovered fast and composed herself.

"Uhm, yeah. Did I tell you already that you're a good cook?" She looked at me under her hair and gave me a warm smile. And it melts me.

We fell into a routine, every day I would go over to Emma's place around 7 and cook for our dinner and that my Mom noticed.

"Sweetie, it's not like I'm not happy with you making friends but I need to ask, where are you going every night, I mean we always missed you in dinner."

That caught me off guard, should I tell her that I'm spending time with our hot neighbor?

"Honey? Are you alright?" My Mom sat beside me and caressed my back.

"Yes Mom, I'm fine. I'm actually going over to our neighbor and spending dinner with her, I hope that's ok?" I looked at her a little bit worried. I'm not sure how is she gonna react.

"With Emma? Oh yeah honey, its ok. I actually liked her. She's a nice lady." I didn't know they've acquainted.

"She always greets me whenever she sees me, very nice lady." She continues.

"But I didn't know you were close?"

"Well, when she was down to her last box couple of days after she moved in, I helped her carry it."

I am actually more than happy to hear that shelikes her. I mean, what's not to like about her. Yeah, sometimes she's grouchy,and by sometimes I mean when she's hungry. But other than that, she's perfect.
