Chapter 5 - What do you want? Porridge? Me? (2/2)

"Thanks! There's also a spare girl's clothes on the second floor, Ashley left some when she stayed here last week"

Ashley is Ted's younger sister, the one who brought a lump of frozen goods and instant foods to Ted.

"Okay, thank you too, Ted, sorry for the trouble" she voiced out her feelings.

"Always welcome Celie" Ted smiled, they have been friends long before he discovered that Dave, his crush, is a girl and a princess nonetheless.

Celestia can't help but smile, he's such a good friend, what did I do to deserve him?

Celestia hurriedly went to the kitchen and started cooking porridge and since there is only a limited amount of seasonings and ingredients available in Ted's kitchen, she made enough to feed at least four people to include the wounded man of course. After a few minutes of cooking and humming at the same time, Celestia decided to call her beloved friend.

"Teeed, the food is ready!" She shouted loud enough to be heard in the other room.

Maybe I should just eat in the room with that man to observe him if he's still breathing that is.

Celestia scooped enough porridge and went to the guest room where the man is lying and did not wait for Ted to come down the kitchen, Ted is probably in his room, he will descend a few minutes later I bet.

She rested in the chair where she was seated a while ago, the chair beside the sleeping man, Celestia blew lightly the food to cool it off and as she does it, she can't help but look at the man's face.

Oh his long lashes, high cheekbones, and his pointed nose, this must be a greek god!

Indeed, looking at him you will suddenly believe in love even though you are the empress of Theavarian Kingdom, well, for Celestia even though she is a hopeless romantic, she is not a big fan of love at first sight, it does not make any sense for her because in her perception love is deeper and beyond what can be seen by the naked eye of a human. It is more than a composition of facial features, it is a surreal feeling, an ad-infinitum.

I wonder what will the color of his eyes, will it match his charcoal-like hair?

Well, you can't love a person at first sight but you can surely be attracted.

She was almost done eating when that man started mumbling.

"W-w-where a-am I?" A low husky voice grunted.

OMG!

"What do you want? Water? Food? Clothes? Me?" Celestia started panicking a little bit.

The man just looks at the bowl she is holding.

"Oh, you want this? Wait, I will get you another one" She stumbled a little while trying to get up but failed completely when the man grabbed her arm.

"I'll eat that" his low and weak voice lingered in the princess' mind.

At that moment Celestia felt she could exchange places with the wounded man and be the one in the bed, this man has the ability to make any woman faint with just three little words and it's not even I love you.
