15 Invitation (1/2)

Andrea and I are at the new house that I bought. Like I've said to Shawn I bought the house at his neighborhood.

”Unpacking is really a hassle.” Andrea complained.

I giggled. ”Well what do you expect. Your things are not that many but what about mine?” I said.

My wardrobe can take at least one room. Not to mention my bags and shoes. Good thing that the master's bed room of this house has a walk in closet as big as one room.

Many boxes are still not yet organized. I looked at it and sighed. ”Can we get this done by the end of the day?” I wondered.

”Not if we have additional helping hands.” Andrea said.

So far it's just me, Andrea and Sawyer that is organizing the things after the move here in the new house.

”Ahhh. I'm exhausted.” I said while sinking at the sofa. I raise my feet on the arm rest and laid down and closed my eyes for a bit. It was at least noon time.

Then I felt someone hovering on top of me. I opened my eyes and saw dark blue eyes looking into mine. A trace of a smile is drawn in that man's beautiful face. It was Shawn.

He gave me a light kiss on the lips. ”Hey baby. Tired already.” Shawn said jokingly.

”We have been all over this whole morning.” I complained.

”I know. That's why we're here to lend a helping hand.” Shawn said gesturing to a man beside him.

”Hi Queenie. Mind if I help?” Gerald was there giving a warm smile.

My heart felt warm. Gerald was my best friend in the past. He still gives off that aura that feels like home.

I smiled at him. ”I'm happy to have you to help. We are taking forever here.” I said.

”But first let's have lunch.” Shawn said. ”Gerald had something cooked for you.”

Gerald put down a big bag at the table and put out lunch boxes. I took one and opened it. The lunch box was packed with grilled chicken and veggies.

I smelled the food and my mouth started to water. ”Wow this smells absolutely delicious. Thanks Gerald.” I said excitedly.

”No problem. I know you'll be hungry after moving.” Gerald said.

I dig in and savored the roasted chicken. This is one of my favorite dishes. A healthy option packed with the right amount of nutrients one body needs. In the past Gerald was also like my personal nutritionist. I am not good at cooking sadly but Shawn and Gerald were great. I remember complaining to them that why when I was the girl in our group I don't cook well but them who are men cook delicious food.

”Hmm. Gerald this is delicious.” I said.

”Thanks. Well Shawn was the one to marinate and grill the chicken really. I helped with sautéing the veggies.” Gerald said. Shawn elbowed Gerald seemingly shy.

I looked atShawn. ”You know how to cook?” I said astonished.

”Well a little.” Shawn answered.

”Not just the most eligible bachelor and CEO but a cook as well.” I said smiling. ”I think I hit the jackpot. It's because I'm not good in cooking.” I give a shy face.
