Unexpected Feelings

Chapter 7: The dinner

After Katrina had taken a shower, she wears a comfortable pyjama and sat on her bed. She calls her dad.

" Hey Dad! " she said as soon as she hears his voice.

" Yes, honey. " His voice was somewhat busy on the background.

Katrina knew that he was busy at that moment but still wanted to make sure. " Are you free to talk? "

" Sorry honey, I'm currently busy right now, can we talk later?..."

" Oh okay, but it won't take a while." she begged pleaded him and was happy when he gave her a minute.

" No don't put it there you Buckethead." he was talking to one of his guards on the background and quickly returned to Katrina. " Yes talk."

" Why aren't there any servants for me here? Who would cook for me? " she began to whine.

" It's only just for today, they will probably be there after a few days. Now I have to go, bye." he hangs up before Katrina could speak.

** Katrina's POV **

After I heard the beeping sound, I frustratedly threw my phone on my bed. I can't believe I will have to starve for the next few days before the servants arrived. I don't even know how to cook. I had never cooked a day in my life and I'm tired of eating takeouts. But I have no choice but to try and order something for me.

When I opened the app, my phone was offline. I tried to stand by the door hoping to get my connection back, but nothing worked. I gritted my teeth and went downstairs to ask for Javier's phone. First I went to check in his room and he was not there so I made my way downstairs. When I got down, I first went to the kitchen to get a glass of something to drink. When I opened the fridge, I was like

" What the f*ck! " There was nothing inside the fridge except for two bottles of water.

I quickly went to search for Javier to ask him why the fridge was empty. I found him in a room I didn't pay attention to. " Javier! " I yelled at his name. He turned to me and responded with his calmly annoyed tone which I find irritating.

" What's the matter? "

" Well the fridge is the matter! Why is it empty? " I was looked at him with an indifferent expression. I still don't know why I'm still stuck with him. He's unkind, evil and worst of all, he's annoying.

" Why are you asking me? " he responds calmly, seriously looking at me.

" Isn't it that your job? "

" Oh hell nah! Hold it right there. " As he spoke he took a step closer to me, making me feel a little fear of him. He continues. " My job is to be your bodyguard, not your servant, Katrina! "

I was left speechless as I was defeated. He was right, his job is to be my protector, not my servant. But I couldn't let him go that easily. " Well for me, it's different, you do what I say okay!? "

He sulked and said. " Well you'll have to pay me to be your servant also."

I was now already angry and starting to feel hungry. I asked him to drive me to the food store to buy groceries. I forgot that I was wearing my silly comfy pyjama. As I realized it, it was already too late as we were half way to the store.

** Javier's POV **

As my eyes were focused on the road, my mind was empty and was in need to think of something. I couldn't believe it that the job I dreamt of being easy was this hard. Being with Katrina 24/7 was a very tiring job. She just had something that I hate for no reason. She was so annoying alongside her high pitched voice which always irritates me when she speaks. And the fact that she slapped me, I still hadn't forgiven her already. It was so embarrassing to be slapped by a woman, especially the one you don't know.

I knew that she wasn't going to change unless someone teaches her a lesson about not to treat others as her trash. As I was about to think of something, we already had arrived at the food store. It was only a 10 minutes drive so it didn't take much time to drive there.

When we entered the store, Katrina didn't know what she was doing as she kept picking up random things without knowing what she will do with it. I sighed and wondered wether there was something maybe left in that hot head of hers. As we walked around, people kept giving Katrina some looks because of the childish pyjama she was wearing. The only person I hated was an old lady who mistook us for being together. God I wish you I never met her. Katrina and I both faked a smile meanwhile we both knew that we were cursing each other under our breaths. We picked up a lot of things before we paid, then we drove back.

In the car, I noticed Katrina looking at me and immediately knew that there was something she wanted to say. " What? " I asked without looking at her.

" My dad said that the servants are going to arrive in a few days, so in the meantime, you will be the one cooking. "

Before I could say anything, I stopped the car and looked at her. " Did your dad personally said that I must cook? "

Katrina struggled to respond accurately. " Well who's going to cook then? Cos I know that I don't, I never cooked before and I never will." she put on a self satisfied smile.

I looked at her with an ugly expression. " So how are you going to eat? " I know what she was trying to say and I will never agree with her. Just imagine me cooking for my enemy. I'd rather die than cook for her.

" You are going to cook, duh! "

" Duh! In your dreams! " I was not going to do that. I had never before cooked for a woman before. Except for my mother, but other than her, I would never cook for someone unless it's my wife.

" What the f*ck are you trying to say Javier!" I can see her getting angry bit by bit, but there was nothing I could do.

" All I'm saying is that maybe you should try to learn how to cook like most of the women your age do! " I still didn't believe that she doesn't know how to cook. And I was going to teach her by letting her starve until she is willing to learn.

" Ha! we'll see about that." she folded her arms and looked outside of the window. I started the car and got back in the road. As I was driving, I was trying to think of something to make Katrina start to know how to cook.

When we arrived, she went straight to her room leaving me behind to cook. I smirked before going to my room and relax. After an hour later I heard a loud knock on my door. Because I had locked it, the person outside my door didn't have the access to just barge in my room. I lazily got up and opened the door.

** Katrina's POV **

An hour later when I began to feel really hungry, I went down to the kitchen to check if Javier was done cooking. But when I got there, there was no sign of someone that showed that the kitchen had been used before. I immediately got angry and stumped my feet before rushing in to his room. When he opened the door, I angrily pushed him inside. " Why have you not cooked yet? "

He just looked at me and sat down, before picking up his phone and began to play a game. I felt really annoyed and I unaware took his phone away from his hands. He quickly got up and warned me to give him his phone back. " Katrina, give me my phone back otherwise you are going to regret it."

I pouted my lips and turned my back against him. " If you just had listened to me and cooked, then maybe this could not be happening." I smirked as I stepped back when I saw him moving close to me.

" Katrina!! " he called my name angrily. As I was about to open the door and get out, he was already in front. Since he was taller than me, I could not raise my hand up holding the phone up as he could easily reach it. So the only thing I could do is hide it behind my back.

" Katrina give me my phone back!! " he tried to get the phone from my back, but I dodged him and ran around in the room, and him chasing me. Before I could realize it, I tripped and fell badly on the floor. I slightly injured my ankle . Now instead of checking if I was okay, he picked up his phone from my hand and smiled evilly.

I was at loss and I gave in as I was really hungry. " Will you still cook." I looked at him with pleading eyes.

" Mhm. I was going to, but because you took my phone, sorry but you can cook for yourself. " he mercilessly said looking down on me.

I got up and left the room. I went to the kitchen with my phone in my hand and opened my YouTube app to search for tutorials on how to cook something. As I watched the videos, they all seemed hard to make until I saw this video of making noodles with other stuff. I graceful watched the video while following the instructions, but the results were not that great at all. As I went quickly to the bathroom and came back, the kitchen was already full of smoke.

** Javier's POV **

When I was coming down to check up on the hot headed girl was doing, I could not believe that she was that bad at cooking and actually turned the kitchen on fire. I rushed to the kitchen and got the fire extinguisher to burn out the little fire she had started. " Agh this girl. She even doesn't even know how to put out fire. Just look at her." I sulked silently.

" Katrina!! What the heck is going on!? Are you trying to burn this newly bought house down? " I scolded her while she lowered her head .

" I'm sorry, I was ju..." before she could continue I stopped her and said angrily.

" Just get out of my face! " I watched her slowly leaving the kitchen. When she left, I start cleaning before I could start making dinner for both of us. When dinner was ready, I called her from the sitting to have dinner. She got up and in no time, she had already started eating without me telling her to. I remained quiet and watched her eat like the food was running away. I noticed that she had been crying and asked myself if my scolding was that hurtful.

After we both finished eating, I decided to wash the plates afraid of if I let her do this, she might break them.

" You can go and sleep, I will wash the plates. " As soon after I said that, I stood up and cleaned the table. She got up and left without even looking at me
