Chapter 27 - Keeping Company (2/2)

We went to the dining room and just like our usual days we were having dinner together, even after this hectic day. Stella went into the kitchen after placing the food on the table. It was for me only I didn't saw her plate.

” Where's your?”

” I asked Lucy to only cook for me since I thought you'll be eating outside. You go ahead I'll make something for me.”

” Now that's unfair. You should eat first I'm not even that hungry.” I persisted her to eat but she denied.

” It won't take long beside there's lots of thing in the kitchen I can make something quickly. How about you wait for me?” This sounds more reasonable so I decided to go with it.

” Fine I'll wait.”

I should have remember that Lucy only prepared food for her. If I knew that before hand I would have turn down her offer. I only agreed to her because I don't wanna make her upset. She was so thoughtful and naive that she gave her food to me. I can tell she was also hungry. Again I'm guilty of my deeds It's like snatching a lollipop from a kid.

Thankfully I didn't had to wait long and repent on my sin. Stella came holding a plate. When she put down the plate, I noticed it was pasta in red sauce. How did she made it so fast? She was there for few minutes only!

” Woah! It looks even better than mine.” I complimented her with a chuckle.

” Naah! Don't be silly. It's just pasta with tomato sauce nothing much. You can try if you want.”

” With pŀėȧsurė.” I took a spoonful and put it inside my mouth. It was delicious that my lost appetite came back. Good thing that Stella cooked a little extra. We continued to eat our dinner.

” You wanna play video games or watch something with me?”

” Are you trying to comfort me since I got ditched on my date?” I raised my eyebrows and playfully smirked at her.

” Kinda yes, kinda no, you can refuse really. No pressure, I'm just offering you.” It wasn't that late so I thought maybe I can play some video games, it won't take much longer.

We went to her room since I don't have any video games. I had it in my college days but after that one got broke I never bought one. We sat down beside on the bed and the game started.

The first round was hard for me since I'm playing after a long time. Stella won that round. On the second round it was a little easier to carry on and I won that match. On the third round both of us became super competitive. I was so focused on winning and so was Stella. As I was keeping my eyes on the screen my gaze went down to Stella. I looked at her face which was so motivated and determined on winning.

Now how can I overlook that?

I was indeed close to winning but at the end I let it go making it look like I lost my focus. On this account Stella won the match. She raised her hand up higher with glee.

” Yay!” a big smile appeared on her face. I was glad I didn't win, because if I did that, I wouldn't be able to see this face. So technically I won even though I lost. Stella was laughing and she was so happy. The room was filled with her laughter.

” Too bad! I didn't knew you suck at game.” She mocked and then started to laugh again. I was not feeling offended at all. I was simply enjoy this view.

My heart felt so calm and relaxed seeing it. All my worries, all my problems seemed to be lost some where.

It was late so both of us went to sleep. I came back to my room and laid on the bed looking up at the ceiling.
