LORELEI’S POINT OF VIEW
After we bought all the ingredients that I need to cook Blaze’s favorite food, we immediately head back home so I can start cooking. Blaze helped me to carry all our shopping bags or more like Blaze carried all our shopping bags towards inside our house.
“Just put it here Blaze and can I have another favor to ask?” I told him as we reached our kitchen. Blaze looked at me with an asking look on his face which made me smiled because he looks like an emoji every time he’s doing that face.
“Ahm, can you put the food we bought as a stock in our pantry?” I asked him while I am getting all the ingredients I need from the shopping bags.
“Of course Lei, is there anything I can help you with?” Blaze asked me before heading towards our pantry. I just shake my head at him while smiling as my response and Blaze just nods at me before walking again. after that, I started to prepare the ingredients that I will use, I first chopped the onion and garlic as well as the vegetables that I will be using. After chopping all that, I washed the chicken and the beef that I will be cooking, and then I am all set!
“Lei, I found baking ingredients here are you going to use it now?” Blaze asked me.
“Ah, yes I will use it now, I forgot to tell you,” I said and then head towards him to get the baking ingredients I bought.
“What pastry are you going to bake?” Blaze asked while he is following me heading back to the kitchen.
“Hmm, what is your favorite pastry?” I asked him while getting all the ingredients from the paper bag. I looked at him and saw that he is thinking thoroughly about what he is going to answer because he knew that whatever he will say is the one that I will bake.
“Hmm, chocolate chip cookie?” He said which made me smiled.
“Yeah, chocolate chip cookie,” I said, and then I started to cook his favorite dish first before I prepare the cookie. Since baking cookies is easy it is better to cook the main dish first before the desert.
“Oh, by the way, I will just change my clothes upstairs okay?” Blaze said while I am busy cooking.
“Okay,” I said and then he immediately heads upstairs. While waiting for Blaze to come down, I was able to finish cooking his favorite dish so I immediately started to prepare the cookies and I was also able to finish preparing my cookies but he still hasn’t come down so I decided to put the cookies in the oven first before heading upstairs. As I put the baking tray in the oven, I immediately head upstairs quietly so I can surprise Blaze. As I stand in front of his room, I silently turned the knob and open his door quietly, as I head inside, his room is strangely quiet and there I saw him laying on his bed while sleeping so soundly. I silently walk towards his bed and then kneeled in front of his face the moment I reached him.
“So that is why your eyes look so squinted earlier,” I said while looking at Blaze who is still sleeping so soundly. I kissed his forehead first and then his lips before I head back to the kitchen. I should let him rest because I know how stressed and how restless he is these past few days.
“I love you,” I whispered to his ears before standing up from my knees and head outside his room quietly because I didn’t want to disturb his sleep. As I head outside his room, I carefully close his door.
“Oh, I can already smell the cookies,” I said to myself while I am heading downstairs. As I reached the kitchen, I immediately checked the cookies inside the oven and when it is already done I immediately get them from the oven so they can rest and cool down while I am waiting for Blaze to wake up. I also started to prepare the main dish and put it inside the container as well as the rice. While I am busy preparing the food that we are going to bring, I almost jumped off my feet when suddenly Blaze calls me.
“What is it?” I asked him while I am walking towards him.
“Nothing, I just missed you.” He said as he pulled me towards him and hugged me so tight. I just shake my head at him while I am inside his arms because he just suddenly turns so cheesy out of nowhere.
“So, what is it?” I asked him while we are walking towards the table here in our kitchen.
“Nothing, by the way, I just received a call from Mark and he told me that they are already there and they are just waiting for us.” He said as he pulled a chair for me.
“Hmm, then you should change your clothes now I will just finish preparing the food that we are going to bring,” I said to him.
“Nah, I will help you prepare the food so we can finish immediately.” He said and then pulled me towards him and then we started walking towards the kitchen bar and we started to prepare the food that we are going to bring which only takes a few minutes.
“Just put it inside the fridge, we can just heat it up tomorrow,” I said talking about the excess food I cooked.
“Okay.” Blaze said and then do what I told him to do. After that, we head towards our room together while our hands are intertwined.
“So, I will just wait for you downstairs since I knew that I will be the one who will finish preparing first.” He said so I just nod at him before heading inside my room. As I head inside my room, I just realized that I forgot to prepare the dress that I am going to wear. Geez! What am I going to wear? I immediately head towards my closet and saw that I only have a few dresses that I can wear.
“Hmm, I know Blaze won’t let me wear this because this dress is revealing a lot of skin, when it comes to this one it doesn’t reveal lots of skin but I didn’t like the design. Geez! How can I forgot to prepare the dress that I was about to wear?” I said to myself while looking at the dress laying on my bed. Ah! Never mind, I will just wear this one! I immediately grabbed my dress that doesn’t reveal lots of skin and heads towards my bathroom. After putting on my dress, I decided to put on a light makeup that complements my dress. After preparing myself, I get my purse inside my closet that also complements my dress as well.
“Oh, we just finished at the same time.” Blaze said as we head outside our room at the same time.
“Yeah, that’s the first one it ever happened,” I said and then closed my door.
“By the way, you looked beautiful.” He said while walking towards me which made me smiled.
“I know I looked beautiful,” I said which made him giggled.
“Let’s go?” He said so I just nod at him and then we started heading downstairs. As we reached downstairs, we get the food in the kitchen first before we head outside our house.
“Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you earlier but have you told Aunt Ann about your audition?” I asked him while we are walking towards our car.
“Not yet, I decided to tell them once I knew the result.” He said which I expected because knowing Blaze, he is the type of person that didn’t want to tell anything unless there is a result already.
“Did you know when are you going to know the result?” I asked him.
“Hmm, I received an e-mail earlier from the production crew and they told me that the result might get release tomorrow.” He said and then opened the door for me.
“So that’s the reason why you sounded so excited earlier,” I said and then head inside the car. Blaze closes the door for me and runs towards the driver’s seat and heads inside the car.
“Yeah, I was so excited the moment I opened my e-mail because I thought that is already the result but it turns out to be just an announcement.” He said which made me smiled.
“I am hoping and praying that you will get the role love,” I said which made him looked at me while frowning.
“Thank you, Lei.” He said and then grabbed my hand and kissed it gently before we started to move. While on our way we are just talking about his audition earlier and he told me that the director looks like he likes his acting earlier.
“That sounds so good Blaze, you have a good chance to get casted,” I said with full of excitement.
“Thank you Lei for believing in me. By the way, I have a question for you.” Blaze said which made me looked at him while frowning.
“Hmm, what is it?” I asked him while still frowning.
“What are you going to do if ever I got cast in this series and then it will get so famous?” He asked me which made me smiled. I grabbed his hand first which made him looked at me before I answer him.
“I will stay the same Blaze, I will stay as your best friend and as your girlfriend. I will always support you no matter what, I will always be there for you to be and be your rest in this tiring world.” I said which made him smiled from ear to ear.
“Thank you so much, Lei, I know you will always be there for me. I love you so much.” He said and then kissed my hand again very gently. After a few more minutes of traveling, we finally arrived at Mark’s house.
“Let’s go?” Blaze said after parking the car so I just nod at him and then he immediately heads outside the car and runs towards my side to open the door for me.
“Thank you,” I said as Blaze opened the door for me.
“You’re welcome, my love.” He said which made me smiled more. I immediately grabbed his hand and then he helped me head outside the car by pulling me gently.
“Did you forget anything?” Blaze asked me as I head outside the car.
“Nah, everything is here,” I said so he just nod at me before locking the door of his car. After that, we started to walk together while our hands are intertwined. As we head inside the house, I saw that this is just an intimate party between Blaze, Mark, and Paul’s special ones.
“Finally! They are here!” Mark said while we are walking towards them.
“Sorry we’re late, I fall asleep so we were late.” Blaze said
“No worries, besides our party haven’t started yet,” Mark said and then looked at me.
“You looked so pretty Lei.” He said which made me smiled.
“Thank you, oh by the way I cooked a dish for you guys as well as baked some cookies,” I said while handing over the paper bags I am holding.
“Oh, wow! Finally, we will be able to taste your cooking again Lei!” He said which made me giggled.
“Well, this is a special night so I just made it extra-special,” I said
“Oh, by the way, can you guys stay here until midnight?” Mark asked us while we are walking towards the kitchen.
“Hmm, why?” Blaze asked him while frowning.
“Ah, so we can check the result together,” Mark said which made me looked at Blaze because that is such a good idea.
“What do you think love?” Blaze asked me.
“Of course we can since there are no classes tomorrow, and that is such a good idea so we can celebrate if ever you guys got cast,” I said while smiling.
“We’re in.” Blaze said to Mark which made Mark smiled. After that, we started the party by eating the food we prepared and drinking some juice since we cannot drink an alcoholic beverage as well as we didn’t want to drink one. The party just keep ongoing until midnight arrives and their phones started to beep which means they already received the message from the production crew.
“Geez! Are you ready to open your e-mail?” Paul asked Blaze and Mark but both of them just shake their heads which made us giggled.
“Wait, I need to take a deep breath,” Paul said and then he started to inhale and exhale for about a minute.
“Okay, I am ready!” Paul said and then the three of them started to open their phone and while looking at them and waiting for them to finish reading the e-mail is also kind of nerve-wracking for us.
“Oh my goodness! I got in!” Paul said which made his girlfriend scream and run towards him.
“What role did you got?” His girlfriend asked him.
“I got the role of one the main character’s best friends.” He said which made me smiled.
“Congratulations Paul!” I said and then he just smiled at me.
“Geez! I also got in!” Mark said which made his girlfriend scream too and run towards him.
“I also got the role of the main character’s best friend!” Mark said which also made me smiled. Now, the only one left is Blaze.
“Blaze, how about you?” I asked him which made him looked at me with those surprised looks on his face.
“I got it, Lei, I got it! I got the role!” He said which made me so happy and I immediately run towards him and hugged him so tight.
“I got the main role Lei!” He said and then he started to shed tears out of the happiness he’s feeling.
“Congratulations Blaze! I am so proud of you!” I said while hugging him so tight.
“Congratulations Blaze!” Mark and Paul said as well as their girlfriends. After that we continue on partying but this time the atmosphere is lighter than earlier because finally the weight on their chests has been finally removed.
