I had never had so much fun in my life like I had that day. Adrian was the perfect person, the friend I needed for so long while I lived in hell with Dimitri. I should have met Adrian sooner. It was a good thing I met him at all.
"First step in the culinary world is a little bit of my awesome music." Adrian said, going to his radio that was located in the corner of his stainless steel kitchen.
"What music would that be?" I asked, fixing the ridiculous cooking outfit Adrian had made me wear. It was the original chef's uniform. Except my version was the female version of the uniform. The uniform was a pair of black trousers, a white, long sleeved shirt, and that weird white coat that all chefs wear. I thought I looked weird, but according to Adrian, I looked better than anyone else he had ever seen in a uniform.
He smiled and it was that smile that made me want to stop breathing. As it was, I did skip a few breaths. "I listen to all kinds of music, but the one music that helps me concentrate the most is country music."
I smiled. God, this boy was full of surprises. He was like something that heaven sent down to me. What good had I done? Of his appearance, you would get the impression that he would be a partier, and not a gentleman.
"Alright, Rose." He said, taking a sautéing pan out of the cupboards and putting the pan on the lightly flamed stove. He went over to the sink where shrimp were defrosting. "We are going to start with sautéing some buttered shrimp."
"Okay." I said. He moved closer to me and placed his hands on my shoulders.
He looked deeply into my eyes. "Don't worry, Rose. Soon, you will learn to love this career."
I nodded. "Don't you need a cooking license or something like that to be a chef?" I asked, putting a hand on my belly. It surprised me. Usually the baby would kick none stop when Adrian was near, but right now she was not doing anything. At all. It did not worry me much.
He winked. "Not in my restaurant." He said and chuckled.
On it went; he taught me how to cook basic meals and stuff like that. The thing that captured my interest the most was that I got to try everything he cooked which was great! I could not get enough of his cooking. I could not get enough of him…and that was the damn truth!
At the end of the day, both of us were stuffed and ready to go to bed. To my surprise, he wanted me to stay up with him to watch a movie. He popped some pop corn and popped the movie The Box in the DVD player. It was such a weird movie. I had never watched such a weird movie. He joked a lot while the movie played and after some time, he stopped talking.
As I watched the movie and grubbed on some popcorn, I noticed Adrian had a faraway look on his face. Also, he seemed really sad and continually looked out the window. He was paying less and less attention to the movie and I was paying more and more attention to him.
"Hey, Adrian? It's none of my business…Are you okay?" I asked, wanting to go over and sit next to him. He usually was all joking and stuff, but right now he wasn't. It depressed me.
I expected him to say something like: Yeah, it is not of your business. So don't ask! He didn't say that, though. What he said was: "No." And right there he lost the control he had been keeping for some time and let go. "I miss her a lot."
So he had a girlfriend. She would not be happy when she found out that another female was living here.
I didn't say anything. "It is so hard without her."
I couldn't say anything because I didn't know what to say. "She must be a lucky person to have someone as good as you." God, why did you let those words slip out of my mouth? I felt kind of awkward as the seconds ticked by.
He gave me a half smile and looked at me with amused eyes. His look faded away too soon, though. "I wish she would have thought the same way as you did."
I paused. "Wait—what?"
"She is gone now. The worst thing is that I can't forget about her, even when she clearly said that she wanted nothing with me."
"What a bitch!" I said and regretted at once.
Instead of getting mad or giving me a dirty look like I would have expected, he laughed. It was the rich, shiver-causing laugh. He was finished laughing but still kept his eyes on me. "You are not bad, Rose. I could see myself falling in love with you. Lucky is the guy that helped you create that wonderful miracle you are carrying inside you."
"Bastard…is the word you are looking for." I said, but my heart was fluttering because of the sentence he had just said. I could see myself falling in love with you. Maybe God had brought me here for a reason. What if Adrian and I were meant to be?
