Bethel’s Pov:
I yawned and turned on the bed and finally opened my eyes.
That was when it became clear to me I had been woken up by the serene sound.
I looked at the window and saw Ryan sitting in front of his keyboard, playing with so much tranquility.
I smiled and watched him from behind for a while.
Then, he stopped playing and turned his chair to face me and that was when I sat up on the bed.
“Hi…good morning”, I said as I moved my hair backwards and avoided his gaze.
“Hi…you’re awake” he said and I just nod.
He was putting on a blue cardigan and looked extremely handsome.
“Won’t you be going to school today?” He asked and I cringed.
“School? Today’s weekend”.
“Oh!”, he mouthed and turned Back to face his keyboard.
“So…are you returning home this morning?” He asked and I scoffed.
“It seems you didn’t get me. I said I’ll be here for as long as you’ll be staying here as well” I replied and he turned to look at me.
He tried saying something, but suddenly stopped himself.
He took in a deep breath.
“So, what are we having for breakfast? I’m extremely hungry” he said and I itched the back of my neck.
Oh, no!
I hope he’s not trying to ask me to cook?
“Um…anything”.I shrugged.
“Anything like what? can you make some beef stew?” He asked and my eyes dimmed.
What??
“Beef stew?” I repeated, in an alarming tone.
“I…I can’t cook”.
“Huh? Are you kidding me? What do you mean you can’t cook?”
“Like…I mean I can’t cook”.
He stared at me and chuckled.
“Wife indeed” he snorted.
“Hey, you wouldn’t really blame me, okay? I mean what do you expect from a teenager who barely gets to see her mum? My mother values the company more than her life and she never has time for me. So, its not my fault, okay? There was nobody to learn from” I said with a hard voice.
“Whatever” he rolled his eyes and stood up.
“Um…at least, I can make some noodles” I proposed.
“I don’t wanna eat noodles. I’ll just make some tea while I wait for her”, he replied and left the room.
Hold on; wait for who?
I shrugged and left the bed, going into the bathroom
I brushed my teeth and washed my face and after that, decided to fix something I could eat in the kitchen.
The house was too big and had great difficulty locating the kitchen.
Luckily, I ran into a maid.
“Good morning, ma’am” she greeted with a bow as she adjusted the basket of curtains in her hands.
“Hi. Good morning” I replied, staring at her.
“Ma’am, do you need anything?” She asked and I shook my head and she walked away.
I just decided not to ask her about the kitchen.
I wonder what these maids do when Ryan’s not around. I can’t believe he just hired them for a once in a while job.
I walked into the sitting room and gazed around. Wow!
To be sincere, it was more classic than the Winthrop sitting room.
Everything was dazzling and looked expensive – the sofas, the tables, the dining behind.
Even the floors were HD wallpaper.
You can imagine how expensive that’d be.
Geez!
I can’t believe Ryan owns all these.
I stood like a statue and smiled, still wondering at the beauty of the house.
Just then, I heard the door bell ring.
Since I was close to the door and there were no maids around, I decided to answer it.
I opened the door and my eyes fell upon a young pretty lady who looked like she was going for a club.
Huh?
I paused and had a proper look at her.
She was putting on a crop top on a bum shot. And the red color of scarf she tied round her hair matched the color of the crop top which exposed half of her tummy.
She was beautiful and looked so s*xy, but what the hell is she doing here?
“Hi” she smiled at me.
Oh! She was actually chewing a gum.
“Hi…How may I help you?” I asked as I took a proper look at her from head to toe.
“Um…I’m Becky and Sir Ryan’s cook. He called me to come over and make something for him” she replied and I blenched.
What?
“Hold on” I snort.
“You’re…Ryan’s cook?”
“Yeah” she replied and made a bubble with her gum.
What in the name of heavens! How can she be Ryan’s cook?? Someone like her?
“You…You come over most of the time to cook for him?” I asked, finding the whole thing too abstruse to believe.
“Yeah – whenever he’s around” she replied warmly.
I was still standing in between the door and the idea of letting her in didn’t flash through my mind.
“Becky?” I heard Ryan call and turned to see him standing behind me.
“Hi” the Becky girl waved at him excitedly.
I could tell she was blushing.
“When did you arrive? And what are you doing over there?’ Ryan asked as he moved closer to us.
“Well, your wife was still interrogating me” she laughed.
But none of it cracked me up.
“Well, come in. I’m starving” Ryan said and I had to move away from the door, giving her free passage into the house.
“Thank you, Ryan” she beamed and said charmingly as she walked pass Ryan, probably headed for the kitchen.
I stood like a statue and stared blankly.
“Hey, are you alright?” Ryan called my attention and I snapped out of my delusion.
“You called for a cook?” I asked, arching my brows.
“Well, yeah. You didn’t really expect me to just live on some sugary tea, did you?” He shrugged and walked away.
I kept walking tho and fro in the room. Why on earth will a cook be dressed up like that?
And look at how happy she was when Ryan had showed up. And to think she always comes to cook for him whenever he was around. How am I sure something hasn’t happened between them?
After a while, I couldn’t take it anymore and I decided to go check up on her.
I entered into the kitchen and…wow!
Sweet aroma!
I was welcomed by a sweet flavor that almost made me halt by the door, but luckily, I was able to control myself.
Hm. Seems she’s really a cook.
She was busy with some carrots when I walked in.
“Hey” she smiled when she turned and noticed me.
Hm” I hummed with a smile and went to stand beside her.
Wow! Lots of appetizing delicacies.
There was a plate of already fried plantains, and a bowl of fried beef.
There was some Irish, salad and little appetizing things. And a pot was still steaming on the gas.
“Are you done?” I asked, even tho it sounded insane.
“Huh? Not yet.” She replied and turned in some garlic into the pot.
I placed my hands on the kitchen counter and didn’t say anything for a while.
“So…do you always wear bum shots when you’re coming to cook for Ryan?’ I asked and she twitched.
“What?” She asked and laughed – nervously.
“Well, of course not. I…” She paused and laughed again.
“I just felt like looking this way today”.
“Hm. So, you’re tryna say this is the first time you’re wearing exposive dresses?” I asked and this time around, she didn’t laugh but just smiled.
“Um, I’m sorry but, is my dress sense in any way offensive to you?” She asked.
“Well, yes. I mean, considering the fact you’re coming to the house of a married man where he’s likely to be alone. If not that I might be wrong, I’d say you’re one of those girls who just wants to seduce him” I said blatantly, creating a little surprise on her face.
Just then, Ryan walked in
“Hey” he called, referring to no one in particular.
I cleared my throat and took my eyes away from the lady.
“Is something wrong?” He asked as he got to the kitchen counter.
“No. Your wife and I were just talking. She was actually telling me of an old ridiculous story which has no meaning” she replied and laughed.
What?
“Really?” Ryan asked in surprise.
“Are you guys that close already?”
“Yeah – to be sincere, your wife is so much fun to be with – especially with the funny story she told me” she said and threw a glance at me.
What the hell?
“Hm” Ryan mumbled and took in a slice of plantain.
“Hmmm. I love the plantain. I love how thick you made it. Its wow!” he complimented with relishment as he almost ate with his eyes closed.
“Thank you!” The lady exclaimed happily, giving an ugly smile that revealed all her teeth.
He took in another piece of plantain and nodded while eating it. I could feel my cheeks turning hot.
“This is good” he complimented, nodding like a lizard.
“Oh, my! Thank you so much!!”
I turned around and left the kitchen, angrily.
As soon as I got outside, I brought out my phone and started going through my contacts. I need to stop that witch from coming here.
I’m going to start cooking classes no matter what.
