My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Before she left, Minnie prepared a lot of ingredients in the kitchen. I wasn't picky when it comes to food, so even if I was to use the kitchen, I would just simply cook some instant food for a meal. Monique and I were similar in that aspect. Carol used to say that as girls, we should take great care of our hands. She would tell me to read and study harder instead of cooking and doing house chores. As time went by, I still kept that habit and would rarely walk into the kitchen. Now that I thought about it, I believe Carol said that out of love. She probably didn't want me to follow in her footsteps.

Hendrix came down after showering. I saw that he styled his hair, and I asked in surprise, "You had plans today?"

He nodded and came into the kitchen. Looking at the uncooked vegetables on the countertop, he said, "I have to go out. Is it okay for you to stay at home alone?"

"Sure," I replied as I put the vegetables into the pan. I wasn't paying much attention, so naturally, some of the oil splattered up high and got onto my hand.

I gasped in pain and withdrew my hand out of reflex.

Hendrix took the spatula away from me and nudged me aside, "Go rinse your hand with cold water. I'll take over."

After rinsing my hand, I stood aside and watched him cook. He was natural and smooth even in the kitchen.
