"You can put your clothes here" I said leading him to the closet that was next to mine. "You can start unloading your stuff, while I start on dessert. Come down when you're finish so you can make dinner" He nodded and I walked away.
Ok this shouldn't be too hard, just some flour, butter milk and eggs right? Oh and some sugar. Let's just do a basic vanilla cake.
I searched up a recipe online and picked the one with the prettiest picture.
I measured all the ingredients while I saw Jay walk in.
"What will you be making today, chef" he laughed at the nickname I gave him and walked towards one of the cabinets.
"I will be making some steak that tastes like it came from a five star restaurant"
"Mhm sure" I laughed and he joined him.
"I found these when I was cleaning" I turned around and saw Jay holding two aprons, both having cute cupcake patterns.
"I forgot I had those. Could you put them on for me, my hands are a bit dirty"
He came over and because he was so tall he was basically towering over me. He lifted the apron up and around my neck. Suddenly he leaned in moving both arms around my side leaning his head over my shoulder, almost giving me a hug. I could feel him tying a knot behind me.
This made me nervous.
"Thank you" I said before turning around. I felt a flushed hot feeling on my cheeks.
"How do I look?" Jay asked.
I looked over and started laughing. Because Jay was so tall and had a pretty large torso, the apron only came down to his upper thigh and the cupcake patterns made him look funny.
"Look in the reflection" my stomach started hurting from laughing.
He walked over to the nearest reflection before he too started bursting out in laughter.
After our small moment Jay came back to start on his five star worthy steak.
I was focusing on my cake. I finished mixing all my ingredients and I placed it into the oven so it could bake and while it was baking it went to check on Jay.
"So how's the five star steak" I teased.
"Better than I thought." He said as he showed me a large chunk of steak. It look seasoned and ready to be cooked.
Jay grabbed a skillet from one of the cupboards, filling it up with olive oil and placing the streak on top. The smell of the well seasoned steak filled my nose making my stomach grumble.
After a couple minutes the steak was complete. Jay repeated the whole process again for his piece be he plated both dishes with vegetables and rice.
"This smells so delicious" I said as he placed the plate of food in front of me.
I waited for Jay to sit down next to me before I ate. He sat down, turning to me waiting for me to eat so he could see my reaction.
I lifted the fork of food up and into my mouth. It was as if fireworks were exploding in my mouth. The flavour of the steak was beyond delicious.
I could hear Jay giggle beside me. From his point of view he could see me chewing slowly with my eyes wide open.
"This is so good!" I basically squealed.
We both ate, enjoying the definitely 5 star quality steak. We had our laughs and small talks but it was mostly me gasping at how good the food was.
Then I realised something.
"Shit the cake"
I ran from my seat to the oven. I opened it without realising it smoke came from the oven going all over my face. It was really hot making me yelp in pain. I stepped back and away from the oven with my hands covering my face.
I felt Jay place his hands on top of mine moving my hands away from my face. His face was in front of mine examining me. Luckily there was no burns and no serious injuries but face did feel really hot. Jay stepped away from me and came back with a damp cloth.
"Luckily it's nothing serious but be careful next time okay?" His voice was filled with worries but had an after taste of relief.
"I was scared I burnt the cake" I said dabbing the cloth on my cheek.
"Hey it's not burnt" He said making me look at the perfectly baked cake in the oven. I let him take it out of the oven, putting it on the stove so it can cool before we went back to eating our dinner.
I insisted to wash the dishes because Jay cooked and thankfully he let me wash while he sat on the counter and watched me.
"How do make icing?" He asked as I finished washing.
"I think it was icing sugar and butter" I said grabbing both components.
We started to frost the cake with the frosting we made. Jay said he didn't want to do the icing because he didn't have steady hands so I ended up doing it.
I had all my attention and focus on the cake so that I didn't mess up. Slowly and carefully, I coated the cake with the frosting when I felt something cold on my nose bringing me out of my focus state.
I looked over to see Jay with a mischievous smile and some frosting on his finger. I looked down on my nose to see a bit of frosting on it.
"Hey" I said. I scooped some frosting on my finger before smearing it on Jay's cheek.
"You really wanna go?"
And that was the start of our little frosting fight. We basically rubbed icing all over each others faces, laughing every time we looked at each other.
bzzz
Jay and I looked over to see Jay's phone ringing.
