When we got back to the house I told Trevor that I was going to make myself some dinner. He nodded his head and was about to go upstairs when I stopped him and asked if he wanted some too. If I didn’t know better, I’d say his mood seemed to almost lift at that offer before he came over to the bar top and watched me work.

Don’t get me wrong, baking is my passion, but I like to cook too. It’s fun and honestly being a cook has been a really delicious hobby of mine so it’s a win, win.

Trevor has a housekeeper who comes a few times a week, and she also gets all of the groceries. Since I’ve been here I’ve always bought my own stuff and brought it back, but yesterday he told me it was dumb for me and her to both go grocery shopping just to bring it back to the same house. I wanted to argue since the difference was that I was buying my groceries, and she was buying them on his little black card. But I decided not to because he’s loaded, and I’m not. Plus I look at it like retribution for all the times he was an asshole to me.

As I’m prepping the stuffed bell peppers, I pause mid motion. He hasn’t just bought groceries for me today, and as weird as it is to me that he would go out of his way to try to replace my things, honestly upgrade my things, it was really nice.

“Vi told me about my apartment,” I say as I resume my task at hand, cutting the tops off the peppers, scraping them out for the sole purpose of keeping my eyes off his cerulean blues for as long as possible.

“What about it?” he asks.

I pause for a moment, sparing a glance to see that he’s already watching me intently.

“About how you paid for all of the stuff. You practically redecorated the entire place, and the stuff definitely wasn’t from Bargain-Mart.”

“I fucking hope not. The dent Vi put in my card tells me it should be really nice stuff.”

I let out a short laugh at that as I nod and turn to face the stove and start cooking the meat.

“It was. Thank you,” I say, rushing out those last words.

Trevor doesn’t say anything for a moment. Instead, all I hear is the soft creaking of the bar stool before his slow but purposeful footsteps make their way over to me. Anticipation thrums in my veins, my heartbeat thumping steadily against my ribcage. In the next second, his hands appear on either side of me, gripping the countertop as I stir the beef.

I feel him before I hear him next, his lips brushing against the shell of my ear as he speaks.

“How did those words taste coming out of your mouth?” he asks, a smirk blatant in his tone as he does.

I turn to look over my shoulder at him, narrowing my eyes at his mocking smile.
