After Kelly introduced Kai to Abi's family, the duo then headed to the kitchen after Abi's grandma said that the couple was busy inside.
Kelly peeked by the door with Kai behind her and what she saw made her halt. Curious, Kai peeked as well and the avocados in his hands nearly fell to the floor.
His mouth dropped seeing Alex bent over the table, wearing a yellow apron and seriously piping glaze on top of a cake!
"Ah, oh… control Alex, not so big," Abi told him. She, too, was doing the same thing Alex was doing but on the other side.
Alex simply creased his brows and did as she said. Kai noticed the stray icing on his cheek and he couldn't speak.
It was then that Kelly lifted her phone and took a good shot of the couple, then took the avocado from Kai's hand, carefully put it down on the floor before she dragged Kai out of the door. She closed the door behind her and grinned at Kai.
"It's not right for us to disturb their precious moment. Like you said, we must be considerate." She winked at him and then she dragged him to the small living room.
"Uncle, where are you going?" Kelly rushed over to Andrew, who was about to step out the door.
"I'll have to go and pick up the wines I ordered."
"In the city?"
"Yes." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"Oh, we can go uncle. Leave it to us."
...
Back in the kitchen…
"Alex? What is that?" Abi asked. They were now making the cake's toppings for its decoration. Abi was creating rose shaped chocolate while Alex was busy making something she could not recognize. He was so serious he didn't even speak more than ten words since they started baking. He was like an obedient student who just kept nodding and doing what he was asked to do.
He was acting a little strange but Abi thought that maybe Alex was like this when he worked? She never saw him do some chores before so she didn't know whether his silence was normal or not. But since Abi couldn't feel anything heavy or dark coming from him, she decided not to think about it too much.
"A Peach," he replied.
"Oh, why a peach?"
"This is your cake so it must resemble you, no?"
Abi blinked at him before she chuckled. The man remained serious and looked at his handiwork with an unsatisfied look.
"I will make another one," he said and took another piece of chocolate to mold.
