1638 Words
Today Katrina woke up feeling tired. She had forgotten that she was in another country and not in her father's house. She carelessly called out her servant's name. ** KATRINA'S POV ** " Amber! Amber!! " As I called out with no one answering me, I got mad and jumped off my bed to look for Amber. As I walked to my door I realized that this was my room but I was not in my father's house, and I don't have any servants yet. And the only person that I have, is that big, dumb bully. I sulked as I get inside the bathroom to wash my face. " I can't believe that I'm going to be living with this a*shole for who knows how long! " I brushed my teeth hard expressing my anger. I just hope Amber comes here. It will be a total mess if she doesn't, as she was my favorite servant. She knows how to take a good care of me, unlike all the other servants who would secretly complain behind my back. As I finished brushing, I rinsed my with warm water and dried my face. After that I went downstairs expecting breakfast on the table, which I'm sure Javier would never do that, after what happened yesterday. As I walked to the kitchen, I could hear no sounds coming from the kitchen, meaning there was no one making breakfast. " Argh! " I rolled my eyes frustrated thinking that this is not the kind of life I should be living. Especially as the president's daughter. I walked in the kitchen thinking of what to make. I looked over inside the fridge and saw layers of bacon in its plastic. I took it out not really sure of what I'm going to do with this. I placed it on the counter and looked again, and an idea hit me almost instantly when I saw the eggs. I tried to reach the upper cupboard, but I guess I'm kinda short. I went to the breakfast table and took out a chair, and brought it in the kitchen. I Steadily climbed up trying not to fall as I am really afraid of heights. When I reached up to one of the top cupboard I opened it looking for something to mix with the eggs. I got disappointed as I didn't see anything. As I tried to get back down, I accidentally missed a step and I fell down to the floor. " Ouch! " I shrieked in pain as I rubbed the back of my head. Thankfully, I didn't fall that hard. I angrily kicked the chair venting my anger on it for making me fall. I got up and took out a pan and placed it on the stove. As I lit it up, I poured a little bit of cooking oil with no idea how am I suppose to cook the eggs. I cracked all the four eggs in a bowl and grabbed a whisk and began whisking the eggs. I added a teaspoon of salt and stirred. After that I poured the mixture in the hot pan. I stirred making sure that they don't burn. " Finally! " I cheered as I saw the yellowish scrambled eggs meaning that they are probably cooked. I quickly put them on the other side that was cold. I took out another pan to cook the bacon. I poured in the oil and let it sit for a moment. Then I placed in four thin layers of bacon and stirred. After the bacon was almost done, I took out two glasses and plates. As I opened the fridge to take out juice, I forgot that I left the fire on and I stood there with the fridge door open choosing which juice I should take, the orange juice or the apple juice. Before long, I could smell something burning. I quickly turned around to the stove and switched it off. I was thankful that I didn't put the kitchen on fire like I did yesterday. " Phew." Although the bacon was burnt, it still look edible to me. I put the scrambled eggs in my plate and on the other, then I put the bacon to the side. After that, I put four slices of bread on the toaster two on each side. Then I put the glasses at the table and filled them up with orange juice. After the bread was toasted, I put two slices of bread on my plate and two on the other. After I set the table, I was about to call Javier, when he suddenly showed up. I could see his surprised look on his face, as I managed to smile. " I made breakfast." ** JAVIER'S POV ** When I came down, I could smell something burning coming from the kitchen. " Argh. This girl is cooking again." As I got to the breakfast table that was in the kitchen, I was surprised that she made breakfast, for two of us. I sat down across her and looked down at my plate. " I want you to taste it first and tell me what you think." Her tone was different from her usual one making look up to her to see if she was the one really saying those words. As I looked down at my plate I frowned upon seeing something that was totally black. " What is this? " Katrina looked at me with an embarrassed look. " It's b-bacon." Excuse me, I almost lost control of myself when I saw the two layers of things I couldn't even recognize, were actually bacon. I hold myself not to laugh because I can understand that it was her first time. " You can laugh, I know you want to. " She said with a sad tone. " No. I don't want to." As I looked at the breakfast she made, I lost my appetite. " I think I'm going to have cereal for breakfast." I tried to make an excuse to avoid eating whatever that is. " B-but I-I- I made it for both of us." As she said this I can feel her tone slowly starting to sound angry. Within a short of time, she exploded with anger. " YOU KNOW WHAT? FINE!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO EAT THE BREAKFAST I MADE! I KNOW IT TASTE HORRIBLE! DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WENT THROUGH MAKING IT!? I EVEN FELL DOWN AND HURT MYSELF! GOSH YOU ARE SO UNTHANKFUL JAVIER..." she was about to continue until I cut her off. " It's fine! I will eat your breakfast. Thank you for making it Katrina." She was already started sniffing when I said this. I grabbed my fork and looked down at my plate. " At least the eggs look great. " I sighed in my heart. As I looked at her, she was looking at me with great expectations. I looked back in my plate and tasted the so called bacon, which to me looked like her bad attitude that had died a million years ago. I close my eyes as I put it in my mouth. And immediately as soon as in touched my tongue, I can feel my tongue running away from it. I slowly pretended to chew and put a thumbs up for her not to hurt her feelings. As she smiled cheerfully, deep down I was cursing words I didn't even know. When she looked down at her plate, I quickly spit the small piece of bacon out of my mouth in my hand and put it away in my other pocket. Then soon after, I drank the orange juice. " Now taste the eggs." I looked down at them and found nothing wrong with them. " At least she knows how to cook scrambled eggs. I put a large amount that made my mouth full and chewed happily. Within two chews already, I could taste the great taste of salt. " F*CK!! " I screamed silently in my head. " Does it taste good? " she asked happily. I put thumbs up again pretending that the chaos that was happening inside my mouth wasn't happening at all. " Aww thank you. I will go upstairs and bring my phone to take a picture." As soon as she said that, she rushed upstairs. When she was gone, I quickly spat out everything that was in my mouth in the bin. Then I rushed back to take a picture of the disaster she wasted her time on. After that I went to the bin with two plates and threw the scrambled eggs and the bacon in a plastic leaving only the toasted bread. I quickly tied the plastic tight, and went outside to throw it in the big bin. When I got back, Katrina was already there with a puzzled look. " Where is my breakfast?" " I'm sorry, I was just too hungry and I couldn't control myself to not it the delicious breakfast you made." I was never going to let her eat that as she was going to find out that I lied about her Breakfast tasting good. Plus the salt in the eggs could make her sick with one small piece. " Then what am I going to eat? " she frustratedly sat down and crossed her arms waiting for me to answer. " Don't worry, I'm going to make you another one." I quickly rushed to the counter to come up with something. " Damn the eggs are just like her, looks good on the outside but bad on the inside." " I feel sorry for your future husband." I softly mumbled so that she didn't hear what I said. And thankfully she didn't hear it.
