? Mig’s POV?
I opened my eyes.. my whole body aching, i realised I’m still laying on the couch.
My eyes roamed the living room and stopped when it landed on Elva.
She’s sleeping in a sitting position on the couch opposite mine.
Oh.
Now i remember,i smiled when i recollect how Daisy and Elva were both pulling my arm at the cafeteria.
Daisy had forced me to go out with her, i do not like going out,the attention i do get makes me uncomfortable.
A frown appeared on my face when i remembered that guy Elva was with.
He seems obsessed with her and i can’t help but get jealous. It hurt me a bit that they’ve been going for lunch together even after she promised me not to eat lunch at work again.
And i was surprised when Elva told the waitress to bring her normal order and it turns out to be only ice cream with cookies.
That actually means that’s what she has been taking for lunch and i know it’s because of me..
I remembered when i got pissed at her for eating lunch with some guy at work,she promised me she won’t eat lunch at work again,she doesn’t understand i meant that she shouldn’t eat lunch with that guy again.
She had thought i was pissed because she had lunch.
I can’t believe she has been taking just ice cream and cookies for some time now just because of me.
Ah.
Funny enough, i had a dream she knelt beside me and promised me she will stay with me even in my most vulnerable state…it felt so real and i’m glad she appeared in my dream to assure me.
I stared at her sleeping face, my heart melting completely.
Hey beauty alone always make my heart race,she makes my heart thump loudly without even knowing.
I’m touched by the way she had rushed me home,she had saved me from embarrassment.
I wonder how did she knew how to treat me?….She is surely a fast learner because she acted just like Fleur.
Elva is a darling…A beautiful one.
Her eyes flicked open and i froze.
“OMG Mig you are awake,how are you?” She asked in her normal tiny voice,getting to her feet and walking towards me.
A smile lit up my face but I quickly hid it.
“I’m feeling okay now” I said sitting up.
She got to my couch and sat beside me.
“Thanks Elva for bringing me home” I said.
“It’s okay Mig…I’m glad you are fine now” She said.
“Yeah”
“All thanks to Ben who made me know about the weather forecast” She said and i shrugged..feeling a kind of way she had mentioned that guy’s name.
“Yeah, won’t you get back to work?” I asked.
“Hmm….I’ve called Fleur to sign out for me so work is till tomorrow” She said i felt happy she would stay with me.
“Mig” She called.
“Huh?” I said.
“Are you pissed with me about something?” She asked.
“No” I replied curtly.
“C’mon it’s obvious you are pissed at me,just let me know whatever it is” She said.
I can’t possibly tell her i was just being jealous,i gotta find a way to get out of this mess because Elva can be so persistent.
“The thing is.. anytime my disease is back,i normally feel sad about it, i transfer aggression on people around me. I’m actually trying to stop that.” I lied.
“But this was before your disease appeared. I caught you severally at the cafeteria staring angrily at me” She said.
Boom.
“Really” I asked feigning ignorance.
“Yes or was i mistaken” She said.
“Yes you were” I said hurriedly and she nodded but still not looking convinced.
I really need to convince her.
“I remembered sending angry glare to one of the waitress who kept hitting on me,maybe you mistook the angry glare for yourself” I lied.
When did i become a smooth liar.
Wow.
She smiled “Okay Mig,good to know you weren’t pissed at me”
“Of course” I said and smiled… ” You said you will like to learn how to make homemade soup with Chinese rice right?” I asked and she nodded, grinning.
“Yes”
“I plan on making it for dinner,so come with me to the kitchen” I said.
“Really?” She asked happily.
“Yeah”
“Yaaaaay” She squealed happily and i couldn’t help but smile.
“Let’s go” I said and we both walked to the kitchen.
~~
“Now, apprentice Elva.. can you tell me the first thing we are gonna do?” I asked when we got to the kitchen.
“Master Mig,the first thing is to wash our hands” She said and we walked to the sink to wash our hands and then dried it.
“The second is?” I asked.
“Our apron and hair net but Master hold-on, I don’t want to go for the big Apron today ” She said and i laughed.
I remembered the last time she used the big Apron,it made her stumble with the tray flying out of her hand and a weird look on her face.
“Ohh…okay,pick any apron of your choice but that big one is specially made for you” I teased,biting my lower lip to stop myself from laughing.
“Mig! You are teasing me” She said with a fake angry face.
” I ?” I asked,raising a brow. “No I’m not . I mean the big apron suits you the other day and i will be glad if you can wear it again today” I said biting my lower lip.
“Ohh…you will be glad if i fall hard on my bum, scattering the whole kitchen right?” She asked and i couldn’t hold my laughter anymore.
I laughed…
She gave me a stern look and started looking round the kitchen.
Ahh..
I know she’s probably looking for something to hit me with.
I need to stop laughing but i couldn’t, not when i’m seeing the apron right here.
She started heading towards me with a wooden spoon.
“I’m so-r-ry pl-ea-se Elva,I wo-nt la-ug-h aga-in” I said in between laughter.
I couldn’t stop laughing even if i wanted to stop,her face is now in a twisted wave which made it more hard to stop laughing.
“I need to teach you a lesson for mocking me” She said sternly but i know she’s also trying to hold her laughter.
A stroke of wooden spoon landed across my shoulder…
“Ouch” I cried though it wasn’t painful.
“You can’t deceive me this time. I know it’s not painful” She said landing another stroke on my arm.
Ahh…she has known my tactics…
She kept on hitting me and i kept laughing.
I pulled her close and started tickling her and she released the laughter she had been holding.
My cheeks were starting to ache..I’ve not laughed this much for some time now.
“M-ig st-op” She said in between laughter.
“And what the hell is going on here?” We heard and stopped laughing immediately. We turned to see Daisy standing at the kitchen entrance.
“And what did you think it is” A voice which we recognized as Fleur’s said and just then she appeared behind Daisy.
“I have been at home for some minutes now but i just had to leave them to themselves because they really need it,but you just came in and headed immediately to the kitchen like an enstrangled puppy when you heard laughters. Are you jealous or what? As a matter of fact, Mig isn’t yours anymore” Fleur said and a more angry expression crossed Daisy’s face.
I saw Elva smile but it disappeared almost immediately.
“Fleur, i should have beaten you to a pulp but do you know what’s holding me?” Daisy asked.
“I should have also beaten you to stupor but do you know what’s holding me also?” Fleur also asked.
“Maybe you should both tell us” I said.
“It’s Mig,or else i know what i would have done to you” Daisy said.
“Really?..my reason is also because of Mig,I don’t want him to lose the cure you ‘claim’ is with you” Fleur said.
Daisy shot her a glare followed by a long hiss before turning to face Elva.
“Why do you have to cause a scene back there at the cafeteria?” Daisy yelled at Elva who almost flinched beside me.
“She did that to help me” I said.
“She gat her wide mouth,so let her speak” Daisy slammed.
“Hm…I had to quickly rush Mig home because of the weather..I mean his disease” Elva said.
“So that explains why you have to push me and drag him away” She said.
“I’m not complaining about that okay? She did that to save me from embarrassment and i’ll forever be grateful to her” I said.
“Well..watch your back btch!…” Daisy screamed angrily at Elva before stomping off.
“Thanks Elva for helping me take care of Mig,i don’t know what would have happened if you had not saved him…” Fleur said.
“It’s nothing Fleur..I’m glad i did that” Elva said with her sweet smile.
“I will be back, i really have to freshen up now” Fleur said and we replied with an “ok” before she walked away.
“Ok apprentice… let’s start our Home made soup and Chinese rice” I said.
“Ok Master Mig” Elva said so seriously that we both bursted out laughing..
