Chapter 11: Tortillas and talks
Their Christmas day was full with them visiting Diana, then spent the afternoon with Michelle's family and lastly going to Rossi for dinner.
They had a lot of fun that day and was a different day for him because he was not use to go out this much.
The next day they decided to meet at his apartment and stayed there, maybe went to watch a movie.
In the morning she arrived and he opened the door letting her walk in after she tipped toe to kiss him "Hey Spence I brought what you asked. Potatoes... what are we gonna do?" She asked curious.
"Something Simmons taught me. He was part of the international team, they have to save Americans around the world. He's not a good cooker but he learned an easy dish from Spain. Its main ingredients are potatoes cut in slices and eggs, it's like a cake, they call it Tortilla"
"Sounds delicious" she walked into the kitchen with him as he cut the potatoes in slices "I didn't know you can cook baby" she hugged him from behind "it's kinda hot"
He laughed and she could bet he blushed "I had to. My mom was schizophrenic and when she was out of her mind for long periods of time, I had to cook. Thank God I learned everything really quickly and was able to keep her and myself alive and eating well"
She kissed his back gently "it must have been difficult for a kid, even a genius one" her head on his back.
"Yeah but I find out it was easy. It's like chemistry but without explosions and dangerous chemicals"
She laughed "that sounded so nerdy but the cute kind of nerdy" he laughed softly.
"Can you help me with something?"
"Sure what?"
"Can you crack... um... six eggs?" She nodded and went to get them.
"Six?" He nodded "isn't that to much?"
"Four aren't enough for both of us, I think six is perfect"
"Ok as you command chef" she laughed and cracked the eggs "what else?"
"Do you like spicy food?"
"Yes I like it"
"Perfect because this dish has spicy sausage" he finished to cut the potatoes and turned to turn on the stove and put on it a pan with some butter and oil.
"Ok I cracked the eggs now what?"
"Whisk them with a fork" she did it while he put in the pan the sausages and the vegetables then put the potatoes to fry them.
He put some salt and pepper on them while they cook "I never expected to see you cooking"
He laughed as he kept working on the vegetables "now I will pour the eggs" she handed the plate to him and he poured them in the frying pan.
His whole concentration was on the food and Max's eyes looked at him then the tortilla.
After a few minutes he spoke again "now we have to put this in the oven to finishes it in there" he opened the ovens door and slides in the pan "in 5 minutes it will be cooked"
"Awesome and with what can we eat it?"
"With bread. I will put them in the toaster in a few minutes"
"Ok mister handsome chef" she laughed and looked at him "now Doctor. I would like to talk to you about something that is bugging me... about my boyfriend"
He raised an eyebrow but continued with this roleplay "ok Miss Brenner, tell me what's going on?"
"Well... you see, my boyfriend gave me two tickets to go to the Metropolitan museum in New York city and I want to go with him but his job is full of busy days and sometimes we can't even see each other for days" she pouted at that making him smile "and right now he has a free week but it's also New Year's eve in a few days" he nodded realizing what she wanted to ask "so I want to propose him two options... first one is to postpone the travel to some week we both are free or second going there this week and spend the New Year in New York" she bit her lip.
"And if you stay here, where could you spend your New Year's eve?"
"This time at Michelle's house"
Spencer thought about it, he liked New York and would like to be there but also he liked the experience of being part of a family.
"Give him time to think about it" he said with a serious tone and she nodded.
"Ok as the doctor said" she smiled.
Then he checked the tortilla out of the oven carefully and put it on a plate. Perfectly cooked and with a nice brown color.
"It looks great" she smiled "now I wondering how it taste"
He smiled and cut some for her and him then hand her some toasts and a cup of coffee.
They sat down and talked, he told her some stuffs from his past back in Vegas and she told her experiences with some mean girls.
Both laughed and had a good time.
OOooOOooOO
Maybe one of the shortest chapters but I have not made a decision about where they will spend New Year. Two chapters ago two people commented their options. The score is 1 New York - 1 Stay in DC. Please comment your opinion. I will write the chapter when I make my decision.
