Asha Pov
"Why Leonard's condo is so noisy? Why does it look like there is a dog moaning inside?. '' I asked myself as I lay on the bed after I go home.
''I think he gets his cold-hearted personality from his father because his father also like him. Why won't he allow me to talk to his son? No wonder why his son is like a robot, no reaction on his face, or introvert person." I get up quickly, to rethink again about him. "I think he is really hiding something. He looks like he is pretending." I whisper to myself as I roll my eyes up.
Because of my over thinking, I slap my face. "What are you doing, Asha?, why are you doubting him? He helps you, right?" To stop of what I am thinking, I lay down again and I close my eyes to sleep.
When I woke up in the morning, I immediately went to the bathroom to take a shower. After I took a bath, I went to my large dressing room wearing a red bathrobe. Yes, I have a lot of bathrobes. Well, I'm a superstar and I afford to buy dozens of dress. Without your knowing, I have black card. My TF is double than other actresses also I occupy all of the big brand of bags and dress. Even though I have issue, there are still few endorsers who believe in me and stay on my side.
Because Manager Phoi can't come, I decided to cook by myself.
As I was in the kitchen, I didn’t seem to know what I should do. I don’t know what to prioritize first.
I just scratched my head.
"What is the first to cook tomato or garlic?" I took the tomato slicing in round shape, as well as the onion and garlic.
As I was sautéing the onion and tomato, the doorbell suddenly rang. I stop cooking to see who was outside. When I look at the monitoring, I saw Leonard standing in front of my door carrying my Tupperware.
I excitedly open the door. "Hello, Good Morning" I smile to him. But he ignored me.---This man, always make my blood boiling, but I need to endeavor my temper just to avoid conflict between of us. I promise that I don't want to add problems to my lovely manager.
"Here, your Tupperware." He handed me the tupperware. "Thank you for the food, I enjoy eating it as well as my brother." He suddenly stopped for a second. "I'm sorry, my father, I mean.'' After he gives my Tupperware, he left, but I stop him.
"Wait, stop there!." I shouted to him, tssk!! This kind of attitude doesn't change, he still weird and introvert or let's say unfriendly.
He suddenly stopped walking towards the elevator, and he turned around. "What do you want? Is there something wrong?"
I exited and went to him. "Are you busy today?"
''No. It's Saturday, I don't have work because of you." He answered me coldly again.
But why me? I didn't do anything to him. Hello, your session is every night Mr. Leonard. Don't pretend like it was always my wrong.
I pull his hand, going to my condo. "Come here, I have something to give you." When we entered the condo, I smell something burning.
"What's that stinky?" He asked me as he covered his nose.
What the f*ck something splash in my mind, because of your flirting Asha, you almost burn your kitchen.
''OH My Gushhhh'.' I covered my mouth using my hand.-- I suddenly remember that I was cooking something that I forgot to turn off the gas stove. "Wait, I'm sorry, I forgot I was cooking something. '" I run faster, to the kitchen, and left him alone in the living room.
When I arrived in the kitchen, the tomato and garlic popped up, and it seems like it can't be eaten. "What should I do?" I ask myself while panicking. It's so terrifying, gussh Asha you're not ready to become a wife neither a mom.
As I was in panic mode, Leonard came up to me. “What happened here?’ ’He asked me when he got to the kitchen.
He would have looked at what I was cooking, but I blocked him, So that he couldn’t see it. "Nothing, It's just a small mistake." But he pulled me aside, and looked at what I was cooking.
"Why your food burning?" He asked me while looking at the burning pan.
"I just forgot to turn off the gas stove when I left." I reply him with embarrassed tone and I bow down my head because I felt ashamed of myself.
He suddenly grab my chin, and he looked at me. Even in cooking, you don't have knowledge? Are you human?" He asked me, and I step back away from him, so that our bodies wouldn't stick together. But when I was retreating, I almost fall. Fortunately, Leonard caught my body right away, so we both stared at each other.
My heart started to bet fast because of his thigh. Gush what is it? Why my heart bet so fast, even my body start to heat. "You are handsome when you don't frown. I hope you always like this." I said in my mind as I was stunned to stare at him.
"Get up, what happen to you?" He immediately set me up. Can we please do it again? I just want to stare you longer, I like your eyes and your abs hitting my body hard. Gush Asha woke up, your delusional started again.
"I'm sorry. I will just cook again." I left in front of him and going to kitchen to start cooking again. As I put away the burning pan, Leonard spoke from behind.
"If you don't insist, do you want to learn cooking from me?"
Suddenly, I stop after I heard of what he said.
I turn around. "Really? Do you know how to cook? This is my first time knowing that a surgeon doctor know how to cook." I asked him as if doubting of his skills. Why is he sweet right now? He didn't even scold me.
"Of course. I'm the only one in the condo, so I know how to cook." He immediately went to me and took the burning pan from my hand.
"Add water first, I think for about 30 minutes, to melt the burnt tomatoes and garlic that was sticking in the pan." He said to me as he filled the pan with water from the tap. After he filled the pan with water, he took a new garlic, onion, knife, and chopping board. "Come here." He called me to went to him, "This is the first thing you should do." As he showed up to me the procedure, I stare at him. ''He would have been a perfect person if he only knew how to smile.'' I whisper in my mind.
A few minutes later, he finished cooking. The dish that he was cooking is chicken curry.
“It's all done, did you see that clearly?" He asked me, as he places the dish in a large bowl.
I nodded to him, even though honestly, I didn’t follow his cooking I OLT stare his body and his emerald eyes. I thought he was just cooking an egg, but he taught me immediately a chicken curry recipe. Who the hell will follow that cooking in the first timer?
"I think you are still not eating breakfast.'' He asked me as he set the dish down on the table. I don't know, but I'm imagining myself that he is my boyfriend.
"Not yet." I went to the table and sat down.
"I think it's all done, so may I leave now?." He quickly removed his apron. But I stop him and I touch his hand accidentally.
"Wait!!, join with me to eat this delicious food. Manager Phoi isn't here, so I don't have appetite when I'm alone." I told him as I stared at him with a smile. Just encase, he agreed to me that we eat together.
"Okay, but thereafter, I'm leaving." He sat down opposite to me.
While we were eating, he didn't speak. He was really just focused on food. I think it's boring to be with him all day. Did he have a girlfriend or friend? How could they live him? He is a boring person, but handsome.
Because I felt it would be better not to be silent. I asked him about his father.---"By the way, did your dad come back already?"
He stopped eating and he looked at me. "Yes this morning." He resumed eating. He didn't even say hello to me or how his father treated me last time.
"Okay, your father is kind." I'm just pretending, but in fact his father was also cold-hearted like him. Gush, it looks like he wanted to eat me alive.
"Just eat silent, respect for food." He scolded me while he continued eating.
I had no choice, so I just kept quiet, and continued eating.
A few minutes later, we finished eating breakfast. As he got up from his chair, I asked him. "Are you leaving?" he turned to me.
"Yes, maybe you know how to wash a plate, right?"
"Of course, I'm not stupid.''
"I didn't say that.'' He answered me and surprisingly, he smiled.
"Okay, give it to me. You can go home now, be careful." I said to him, as I put all of our dishes on the side of the dining table.----After he left from my sight, I started to put away what we were eating in the basin.
