SALAD DAY!!
If I owned something I wouldn't be on this site
The doorbell rang at about noon the next day. Jazmine went bounding to the door and pulled it open to find Riley and Huey both standing there.
"Sup?"
"Riley! I'm so glad you're here!" She exclaimed, taking him by the hand and pulling him inside. Huey grunted and staggered after them, "Oh, hey Huey,"
Riley couldn't help but snicker. Jazmine was actually doing a great job at this hard to get thing.
Huey grumbled and nodded, "hey,"
She ushered them into the kitchen where she had a bowl full of lettuce, tomatoes, and crutons. The lettuce and tomatoes weren't chopped. They were just sitting in there in the bowl.
"Hey you almost done," Riley said happily, "Looks good,"
"I haven't even started yet," She informed him. Riley rolled his eyes and picked up the lettuce.
"Well it looks fine ta me," Riley grumbled and tossed it back in.
"That's cos you stupid," Huey muttered. Suddenly, Riley's alarm on his watch went off and his eyes widened as he turned it off.
"Sorry, Babe, I gotta split," He told her and gave her a peck on the cheek. Her eyes popped open and Huey's narrowed and looked the other way, "Huey, can you give her a hand here?"
"Whatever,"
"Sweet. Later homies,"
Huey walked over to the bowl and started to chop the lettuce with the knife on the counter. Jazmine took one of the tomatoes and placed the knife on the skin.
"Hey, why don't you wait for me to do that?" Huey said, "Cuttin' tomatoes are kinda tricky,"
She smiled and slide the knife with ease over the green part at the top and then gracefully diced the tomato with ease. When it was finished she slid the tomato slices into the silver bowl. Huey was slightly impressed. But only slightly.
"Mommy lets me help her cook," She told him with a smile on her face.
Huey went back to chopping the lettuce. Once half of it was completely chopped into edible bites, he tossed it into the bowl.
Jazmine happily tossed the salad but was having trouble with holding both the bowl and her large spoon. Huey gave her hand by taking the bowl in his hands and let her toss it freely with the spoon. When the lettuce and tomato was equally mixed they put the bowl on the counter again and she quickly started to add the croutons.
"Woah woah!" Huey exclaimed, "Calm down girl, do you want this to be a good salad or a GREAT salad?"
"A great one!" She exclaimed.
"Then hold on," Huey said and turned to the fridge. He came back holding an avocado, three bell peppers and a bag of spinach leaves, "This is what we need,"
"This will make it good?" She blinked.
"Make it better, atleast," He said and handed her a pepper to chop.
They made an adorable but efficient team. Neither could reach the counter high enough to stand and make the foods so they had to pull up two chairs. They were silent as they worked but Jazmine noticed Huey take several glances her way. The salad, as a result of their work, was looking quite colorful and pretty.
"Now we need dressing," Huey told her, hopping down and going back to the fridge.
"We have some ranch and Italian," Jazmine replied.
"We can't use that stuff. It's unhealthy. We're gonna make our own,"
"Make our own dressing?" It seemed like such a bizarre idea.
"It'll be better than anything else," Huey told her and got out the proper ingredients he had available, "This is no good. We hafta go shopping,"
"Shopping?"
"Yeah. Wanna go for a walk?"
Hey eyes lit up and she jumped down from her chair. It was her dreams come true. She resisted the urge to jump up and down merrily and sing some ridiculous love song out loud. All she let out was a simple, "Sure,"
She let herself imagine their wedding though as he headed for the door.
Okay im so rushing. When I get home (ive been at my grandmas since Sunday) im gonna touch these up a lot but this should keep u vultures happy for now :P
