Scars of love

chapter 16

🌹Mara's POV🌹

"Slice the onions,then after that bring out the chicken from the fridge" I said to Liam who frowned.

🦋Flashback🦋

"Liam you are so dead today" I said and picked up the knife.

He had already ran out before i could get to him.

I ran after him...

He ran through the corridor,and kept turning and turning till he stumbled over a stool.

I quickly met up with him and smacked his head first with the bottom of the knife.

"Ouch..my head!" He said sitting up.

"Liam why the hell would you scare me like that" I said.

"And why the hell do you get afraid easily" He said.

"I can't believe you are still talking after making me land on my butt" I said

He laughed and i hit his head again.

"You are so mean!" He said.

"Not when you scared the hell out of me" I said.

"Okay...Sorry,go and continue cooking" He said about standing up.

I pulled him back.

"What again?" He asked.

"I'm not taking Sorry from you" I said.

"Then what do you wanna take from me?" He asked.

"I'm gonna smack this on your head till I'm satisfied" I said grinning.

"What!!" He exclaimed.

"Yes and I'm damn serious about that" I said, intentionally checking out the knife in my hand.

"Damn! Mara do you want my head to develop a swell!" He said.

"I don't care...if only you know how my butt is hurting" I said.

He laughed.

"So You're still laughing when I'm about to make your forehead swell"

"Wait Mara,are you serious about this?" He asked.

"Of course i am, do you think i was joking?" I asked raising up the knife.

"Mara please..

I won't scare you again.

What do you want?

I will do anything" His last statement made me stop.

I grinned..."you mean you would do anything?" I asked.

He nodded hesitantly.

"I can't believe you cherish your head that much but you said you will do anything to stop me from hitting this knife's butt on your forehead...so what i want you to do now is come with me to the kitchen, you will do all the tedious work and wash the dishes once we are done eating" I said.

"What!...I'm not doing that" he shouted.

"Okay no problem, shift your head closer..let me go on with the hitting" I said positioning the knife perfectly in my hand.

I saw his eyes go wide and laughed inwardly.

"Okay...I will do it" He said slowly.

🦋End of flashback🦋

"You mean i should slice onions?" He asked.

"Yeah" I said lighting the stove.

"You know how much i hate doing that,my eyes will become watery in two seconds" He said.

"Why don't you just bring your head closer,I'm just gonna smack it twenty times then I'll release you to go" I said.

"No!" He yelled.

"Then slice!" I yelled back.

"Mara... please just let me go" he said and i sighed.

"I didn't plan on keeping you here with me for long cause you are as lazy as a feather" I said and he smiled.

"Thank you" he said and began walking out.

"I haven't said you should go..you have to promise not to scare me again"I said.

"Okay, i won't scare you again" He said with a mischievous smile.

"Go" I said.

"Where's your phone?" He asked and i can't help but pray for Bryan.

"On the couch" I said.

"Okay" He blew me a kiss and left.

I began cooking...

"Max" I ran into his arms.

"I've missed you" He kissed my hair.

"Me too Max..I hope you are feeling strong now?" I asked.

"Yeah..I'm feeling stronger" He said.

"Does that mean you will drive me to school on Monday?" I asked happily.

"No! He's not driving for a week...he needs to rest" Mum said closing the door of the car.

I frowned a bit.

I had rushed out of the dining where i was serving Macroons and chicken when i heard mum drove in.

"But after a week,you will continue driving me to school right?" I asked and he nodded.

"Max,go into your room,Mara is gonna serve you lunch" Mum said.

He smiled bowed and left...

I smiled when i saw James beaming happily.

His buddy is back!

"Welcome mum" I said as we headed inside.

"You look like one perfect chef with the apron and cap you are putting on" She said and that was when i realised im still wearing the apron.

I smiled and pulled it off when we got to the living room.

"Hi mum" Liam said and continued watching the movie.

"It's a kdrama mum...I just purchased it" he said.

Mum quickly sat down beside him and they both started watching it together.

I walked back to the kitchen and wrapped the apron and cap

back into the kitchen cabinet.

I rinsed two plates and dished out Macroons and Chicken in both for Max and James.

I covered it and placed it in a food basket.

I carried it and walked out of the kitchen.

I met Mum and Liam still watching the so called kdrama.

I shrugged and made for the door.

I got outside and met James about to go into the room.

"James"I called.

He stopped and i walked to him.

"Here is your lunch" I said, handing over the food basket to him.

"Thanks Mara"

I walked back inside and quickly finish setting the table..

"Lunch is ready!!" I yelled twice.

"We are coming" Mum said.

"I'm gonna start eating" I said.

"You dare not!" Mum said.

🦋🦋

I washed the dishes after we were done with lunch.

I placed them in the dish drainer and rinsed the last cup.

I dried my hands and walked out of the kitchen.

I joined mum and Liam in the living room and we watched the movie together.

It's quite interesting but i don't feel like watching anymore.

I stood up and headed upstairs to my room.

I have some assignments and i also need to sleep for a whole lot of time.

I got to my room and sat on the bed.

I yawned..."No I'm gonna finish my assignment before sleeping"

I opened my backpack and brought out my English text and note.
