The rummaging of items in the pantry circulated around the kitchen of Bruce's penthouse. Alfred was given the day off to do whatever he pleased. Makenna and Bruce stood in the kitchen deciding on what they wanted to make for dinner.
"Chicken Parmesan?"
"No."
"Chili?"
"No."
"Broccoli cheese soup?"
"No."
"Seriously Bruce is there anything you want to eat?" Makenna asked in frustration. Bruce pushed her out of the way of the pantry and started grabbing various items. Makenna watched as he moved from the pantry with a box of spaghetti in hand to the fridge grabbing the milk, butter, parmesan cheese and cream cheese. He then opened a cabinet and grabbed the garlic powder and black pepper before setting everything on the counter.
"How about we make Alfredo? It's simple and easy to make." He suggested.
"Fine."
Bruce asked Makenna to grab a medium sized pot and to fill it with water. She set the pot on the stove and turned back to Bruce. He was busy measuring everything out and putting the items back in the fridge.
"Could you grab that pan for me please?" he asked pointing at a pan hanging on the wall. Makenna reached over, picking up the pan and setting it on the stove. She turned the burner on without looking at the temperature and leaned against the counter. Bruce walked beside her, butter in hand and tossed the butter in the pan. The butter hissed and popped as it hit the pan. Bruce jumped back as it popped again and a little hit his arm, lightly burning him. He glared over at Makenna who was looking away sheepishly.
"Did you even look at how high the temperature was?" he asked. Makenna didn't answer as she slinked away. Bruce turned the burner down and added the cream cheese and garlic powder. Makenna came back over and Bruce held the whisk out to her.
"Just whisk this until it's smooth. I'll be right back." He said pushing the whisk into her hand.
"Bruce wait!" She called out but he had already disappeared. She sighed and started to whisk the contents in the pan. When it was smooth she looked over at the rest of the ingredients and then back at the pan.
"I guess I'll just add the rest of this stuff."
Makenna grabbed the milk and added a little bit at a time as she continued to whisk. She then added the cheese and pepper whisking to combine the cheese.

Bruce returned a few minutes later and froze in the doorway. Makenna was holding a pot lid in front of her as the sauce bubbled and popped. He rushed over and removed the pan from the burner. Makenna was still wielding the lid as a shield when Bruce turned toward her.
"I was only gone a couple of minutes." He said.
"Never leave me alone in the kitchen. Bad things tend to happen…" Makenna said lowering the lid. Bruce sighed and placed the pan back on the burner after turning it down. He turned the burner on high for the pot of water to boil and grabbed the box of spaghetti.
Makenna stood beside Bruce as they waited for the water to boil.
"I never knew you could cook."
"I watched Alfred cook when I was younger. I picked up a few things just from that."
Makenna nodded and pointed to the rapidly boiling water. Bruce added the pasta and looked for a spoon to stir it with. Makenna held out a spoon to Bruce who thanked her and stirred the pasta. She leaned against the stove unaware that she bumped the nob for the burner with the Alfredo sauce. The sound of bubbling and popping had Bruce and Makenna's heads turning. They looked down at the Alfredo sauce right when a large bubble had formed and exploded. Makenna yelped as Bruce jumped when the bubble popped sending Alfredo sauce flying everywhere. The two were covered in sauce as the pasta water boiled over. Bruce looked over at Makenna who was wiping her face clean.
"You touched the burner nob didn't you?" he asked with a blank expression. Makenna tensed and slowly looked over at him.
"No…I was just leaning against the stove and…Oh." She said coming to the realization. She gave Bruce a sheepish smile and slowly started to inch away. Bruce turned his body to face her as he wiped a hand over his face. He started to walk after her when she turned and ran to the kitchen table putting it between them.
"Now Bruce let's not do something you'll regret." Makenna said maneuvering around the table. Bruce thought he had her trapped in the corner when she climbed across the table and ran over to the island. She didn't see Bruce grab a spoon full of pasta until it hit her in the face. She glared at Bruce who smirked in return holding the spoon.
"That's cheating!" she shouted pointing at him.
"Actually it's not."
Makenna retaliated by grabbing a spoon and walking over to the sauce. She scooped some up sauce and flung it at Bruce hitting him in the cheek. The sauce slid down his cheek as their food fight ensued. Alfredo sauce and spaghetti stuck to the wall, ceiling and floor as Makenna and Bruce sat at the island laughing.
"Well so much for having Alfredo for dinner. How about we order something?" Makenna suggested standing up from the stool.
"What the bloody hell happened here?"
Makenna and Bruce turned to the doorway where Alfred stood looking around. His gaze landed on the two who smiled. Alfred shook his head and walked away to his room leaving Makenna and Bruce to clean up the mess.
