We arrived at the Tess's to find June's motorcycle parked out front, I had never seen one in person before. They stopped being produced after the Flood, no one bothered to continue making them. So it must have been imported from somewhere, it was pretty cool though; it had a black glossy coat that just looked it was shining. I wanted to get my hands on the bad boy, but when I stretched my hands toward it I was stopped by Pascao's warning, "I wouldn't do that if I were you. The bike as an electrical field surrounding it, it electrocutes anyone who attempts to touch it. Plus June would kill you if she found out you even tried to touch, she is very sentimental about her bike. She calls it her lover, she named it Nightwing."
"You're kidding right?" I asked him.
"No, I kid you not. But you could always check for yourself wither I am lying or not."
"I'll take your word on it."
June was sitting on the couch next to Eden, they were both taking about something and were so focused that they didn't even seem to notice us entering. I heard a loud bang in the kitchen, Eden and June didn't even notice and kept on talking, so I headed towards the noise. I found Tess in the kitchen, she had grown up so much since I last saw her. She had grown taller and her hair was the same length, surprisingly. She looked more mature though, she had aged wonderfully. She looked up at me and smiled, at least someone was welcoming towards me female wise. "Hi Day, I haven't seen you in forever." She exclaimed while giving me a bear hug.
"It is nice seeing you after all this time," I then saw that the kitchen was a mess and so was Tess. Some content from the pot was bubbling over and dirtying the stove, pots that had a burnt content stuck to it was thrown in the sink. Everything looked like a mess.
Tess seemed to notice me staring since she said, "Oh, I was just trying to whip something up. I'm not so good at cooking I'm afraid. Pascao usually does all the cooking."
"Why is June's boy-" as soon as June came out of mouth, Tess interrupted me.
"June, that's a great idea. She is such a great cook, a bet she could make something out of this mess."
"Good luck getting her to stop talking." A mumbled under my breath, wait, was I jealous? I can't be, I just met the woman; plus she is already taken.
"Watch this," Tess said, then she screamed "Hey June, is that someone touching Nightwing." There is no way that could work; but June then shot up from where she was sitting.
"Who, where are they. I'll kill the hùn zhàng."
"Oh, never mind, I just saw wrong sorry," Tess replied sounding like she actually made a mistake. When did Tess become so sneaky.
"You lie," June replied, "So what do you want me to do?"
"Can you please help me with the dinner."
"Fine."
"Yay!"
June stomped over to the kitchen, I had to move to the side with Tess as she surveyed the kitchen, "Jesus Tess, what happened in here. Did something explode, you know what I don't even want to know." She then took everything that was on the stove and dumped it in the trash, pot and all, including the pots in the sink. She then took one look at all the food in the kitchen and then started to get to work. She retrieved pots and pans, took out some meat and seasoning, then she got side dishes out and started to cook. In no time there was two pieces of succulent steak with the side dishes of asparagus, hearty potatoes, and salad.
"Hey, where is the food for us?" Pascao stated, asking the same question I had.
"We have already eaten," then she gestured towards Tess and Eden, "They didn't, and if you have any more complaints read the shirt."
"Why you." Pascao said while scooping June in his arms and tossing her on the couch. They then started to wrestle while Tess just sat down and ate, apparently this was something normal. Eden was shocked but then followed Tess's lead and began to eat. Both of then took one spoonful and then closed their mouths while they chewed slowly with closed eyes. I assume it was really good because they would chew slowly then as soon as they finished, they quickly cut another piece and shoved it in their mouth, chewing slowly. Tess then looked up at me and forked the piece of steak and held it up for me to take a bite. So I did, it was so delicious, it was like an explosion of flavor in my mouth. I had never eaten food like this before.
I was snapped out of my daze when I heard a loud whimper, I looked back to find Pascao on the couch in pain while June was walking towards us, she even tossed her hair back.
All that Tess did was look up once June reached her, wrapping her arms around Tess and said, "You guys done now?"
June gave a big smile and replied, "Yep!, how about a prize for the victor?"
"Sure, as long as you cook again for me tomorrow."
"Deal." June then walked over to Tess's fridge and helped herself to the only piece of cake there.
