JULIAN'S POV.

She entered the house in a sour mood and I wondered why she was looking like that.

It was none of my business so I didn't say anything either. She found her way to her room and I continued relaxing.

Honestly, I was bored staying home all day and could not wait to get some work done.

I received a request from Mandy wanting a video chat.

"Are you okay baby?" I was asking her as the call connected. Her hair was in a high ponytail like Ariana Grande's. I could see she was wearing some silvery dress and had make-up on. And she was looking very tired.

"I'm fagged out. Had a long day. How are you?"

"I'm kinda alright. This place is really nice but haven't had the time to hit all the great places yet with my bro as he is a hardworking bastard, "

She laughed a little and then said, "I missssssss you and I wanna kissssss you."

It had just been a few days but I had missed her alright.

"I've missed you too," I replied and then blew her a kiss and she dramatically caught it. "When you getting your ass here?"

"That's why I called..."

She hesitated and the look on her face had changed a little.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"I might not be able to come by next week Monday. It might take longer than that."

"How long?"

"Two to three weeks extra?" She blinked a little.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" I sat up.

"I know baby, and I'm really sorry. Its really not in my hands. Since I'm taking a very long break which may turn out to be quitting permanently, I need to settle and handle every thing first. I hope you do understand."

I sighed. "Yeah, yeah its alright. Just do you, boo. And don't forget to take good care of yourself. Don't overwork yourself, you hear me?"

"I'll try my best not to.Just called to see your stupid face. I need to go now,"

"The same face you love seeing in between your legs," I said with a devilish sexy smirk and she burst into peals of laughter.

"Bad boy. Get the heck out of my phone." She said and blew me a kiss.

********

It was finally Saturday tomorrow. Me and my bro were finally going to have some time together. I was looking forward to that.

I went to get some water from the refrigerator when I heard Miss cute face scream loudly. I rushed over to see what was going on and was horrified at the blood dripping from her index finger.

She had been slicing some carrots and the knife she used in cutting herself lay on the chop board. I didn't even know what to do at first but then dragged her to the sink where I poured running water on her finger from the tap.

She was in shock as she watched her blood flow alongside the water.

It was there for a while and it looked like it had stopped. Only for it to come out again, very slowly. Impulsively, I put her finger in my mouth.

Her eyes widened as she looked at me in surprise.

I realized it was a stupid move and removed it as quickly as I had put it in.

"I'll get the first aid box." I said quietly and walked away.

I returned few seconds after. "I actually don't know where the first aid kit is."

I saw that she tried to hide her smile as she walked away. I followed suit and when she had located it, I helped her dress the wound.

Her eyes met with mine when I finished and she mouthed a "Thank you,"

I nodded. "Now you hurt your finger, do you want some help?"

I thought she was going to be too proud to actually say yes but she actually agreed to it.

Hell. I could not back out now. I followed her into the kitchen and she began ordering me around.

I was only ten minutes into it and was already fed up.

"What the hell are you doing? Slice it into a smaller size." She was saying curtly like I was some inexperienced chef training under her.

I knew a few things about cooking but why was cooking with her so damn hard? Only witches cooked like this. Too many fucking procedures.

I dropped the knife noisily. "I give up. Why don't you do it yourself, miss Chef? You should open a restaurant."

"You think cooking is easy?" She crossed her arms over her chest. "These are basic things you could learn."

"No, thank you. You handle the rest, okay? I'd be waiting for you. Au revoir!"

KARA'S POV.

He had the nerve to walk away from the job when he hadn't even done it halfway. I was gonna show him. I prepared the rest by myself and had his food served. As well as mine.

Only that I added extra chilly peppers to his plate. Of course, he was clueless.

I was gonna sit back, watch and enjoy the show.

"Hey Julian, come have some food," I called him over to the table.

I started enjoying my food in silence and he took a seat on the table, settling down to have some too.

After the first three spoons, he could sense something was definitely wrong. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat and coughed.

I wanted to laugh so bad.

He took another spoon. And then another. And then he could not take it any more and gulped down his glass of water like he was being pursued.

"What did you put into this food?" he asked, staring hard at me.
"What do you mean? Can't you see how relaxed I am eating the same food?"

"Kara, you fucking put something extra." He disagreed and got up abruptly, the dining table trembling a little.

He was rushing to the refrigerator to get some thing. Probably water or milk or whatever. His mouth was on fire and I could not even act anymore so I burst out laughing.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to teach you a little lesson," I said amidst laughter as I watched him drinking a big bottle of milk.

It was such a funny scene to watch. He continuously cursed under his breath, trying to regain himself.
