Chapter Twenty-Three (1/1)

The weekend approached quicker than you had thought it would have. Everyone was in work today apart from you, Sehun, Tao, Kai and Chanyeol. His work had told him that they could handle Saturday’s without him so they gave him the day off. He wouldn’t get paid, but he didn’t mind, he’d rather spend the day with you. You woke up quite early, sitting on the sofa watching your favourite drama that was being repeated. You paused it and made yourself a cup of tea and grabbed some biscuits before returning to find Chanyeol sitting in your seat.“That’s my seat” you pouted, standing in front of the TV, looking at him.“It’s mine now” he grinned.“But I was keeping it warm” you whined.“Mmm, yes, it is lovely and warm.”You put your tea down on a coaster on the table and jumped on to his lap. You shuffled around so your back was resting on the arm of the chair and your legs were draped over his thighs.“That’s better” you sighed, grabbing your tea and pressing play. You sat watching TV for ages while Chanyeol drew circles on your thigh subconsciously as you watched the show together. You laughed at the same parts and you gasped at the shocking plot twists and before you knew it, it was noon.“Ew” Kai said as he walked in to the living room and saw you. You laughed and Chanyeol moaned for him to go away.“Fine, we’ll go out for a couple of hours” Kai shrugged and twenty minutes later it was just you and Chanyeol in the house, alone. You went to get up to get a snack but Chanyeol pulled you back down.“Where are you going?” he whined.“To get something to eat.”“No” he whined, pressing his lips to yours.“But. I’m. Hungry” you said in between the kiss. You pulled away and jumped off his lap before he could protest again and you ran for the kitchen. Before you could even step on to the tile flooring, Chanyeol had swept you off your feet in a backward hug and spun you around. You squealed and giggled as he spun you around.“Let’s make something yummy” he beamed, putting you down.You spun around to face him, “Like what?”“Hmm…” he put a finger to his chin as he thought.  “Cake!” he finally shouted with his deep voice.“Do we have the ingredients for cake?”“We should have” he beamed, “Come on!” he grabbed your hand and led you in to the kitchen. The tile was cold on your bare feet and you hopped to try and avoid stepping on it. Chanyeol laughed and picked you up by the waist, plopping you on the kitchen counter. You gave him a cheesy grin and he kissed your head.“Normal cake or chocolate cake?” he asked, holding his hands out like he was weighing the options.“Chocolate” you nodded, swinging your feet back and forth, hitting them lightly on the cupboard beneath you.“I was hoping you’d say that” he beamed, spinning around and grabbing a mixing bowl, whisk and the other ingredients. You hopped down off the counter and tied your hair back in to a messy bun to keep it out of the way with a spare bobble that you always kept on your wrist.“Do you even know how to make cake?” you asked, raising an eyebrow.“Of course I do” he scoffed.You kept your eyebrow raised.“OK, no, I don’t.”“Hang on” you laughed and went to your room to grab your phone. You grabbed a pair of socks and then opened the web browser app on your mobile as you walked back to the kitchen. You searched for chocolate cake recipes and when you were happy that you had found a good one, you read out the proper ingredients to Chanyeol who looked around in the cupboards and in the fridge, collecting them.“OK, break two eggs in to the bowl” you read off the recipe. Chanyeol did as he was told and then added the flour, sugar, chocolate and butter, mixing them all together as he went. Once he was done, you found a baking tin in one of the cupboards and he spooned the mixture in, giving you the spoon afterwards to lick and you hopped back on to the counter top as you ate. He put the tray in the oven and leant against the unit, watching you eat the mixture off the spoon. He loved your smile. He loved how your nose scrunched up and your eyes shone. He walked over to you and placed his hands on your sides and leant in to kiss you. You met him halfway and pressed your lips against his, putting your spoon down and snaking your hands around his neck to bring him closer.“You taste like chocolate” he smiled as he pulled away.You giggled softly and brought him in to a kiss again, wrapping your legs around him. Just as you were getting in to it, your phone buzzed obnoxiously on the counter, making you jump. You sighed as you pulled away.“Ignore it” he mumbled, trying to recapture your lips. You tried to at first but you just couldn’t ignore it any more. You pulled away and grabbed your phone, keeping your legs wrapped around him. You leant forward and placed your head on his chest as you answered the phone.“Hello?”“Ah, Yoon Ji dear, it’s your mother.”“Oh.”“Well, don’t sound so excited to hear from me.”“Sorry, uh, what do you want?”“You have an appointment tomorrow morning, OK?”“Appointment? For what?”“I’m taking you and Su Ah for your dress fittings tomorrow, you’re both going to be bridesmaids, remember?”“Oh yeah.”“OK, well I’ll see you in Secrets Dress Shop tomorrow morning at 10am OK?”“Yeah, sure.”“Bye honey, I miss you.”“Bye.”You clicked end call and exhaled deeply as you straightened up.“Everything OK?” Chanyeol pouted, tilting his head to look you in the eye.“Ugh, just my mother.”“What’s wrong?”“Nothing’s wrong… I have to go for a dress fitting” you grumbled.He gave a small smile, “Aren’t you happy for her?”“I would be” you sighed, “But its Su Ah’s father… plus I’ve never really been close with my mother and now she’s acting like she cares when I know she doesn’t. She just wants the attention.”Chanyeol nodded and leant in so your foreheads were touching, “Maybe you should give her a chance” he breathed.“I know… I just… I lived most of my life without her, why do I need her now? Besides, I’ve got you haven’t I?” you whispered, pressing your lips against his. You felt him smile within the kiss, “Of course you have” he whispered back. The timer shrieked, signalling that the cake was ready to take out of the oven and you untangled yourself from Chanyeol, hopping off the counter and grabbing the oven gloves. You opened the oven door and you were greeted by a glorious waft of sweet smelling chocolate cake. You inhaled deeply, “Oh my gosh it smells amazing” you groaned as you put the tray on to the counter top to cool. Chanyeol grabbed a big pot of Nutella out of the cupboard and waved it in the air and you both smiled at the same time. You adored Nutella, you used to have it on everything. Since your mother wouldn’t make you proper meals, you’d usually end up with toaster waffles covered with the stuff. You hadn’t had it in ages and you craving it right now. You waited for the cake to cool down enough and then you almost emptied the whole jar of Nutella on to the cake, spreading it evenly all over the surface. Once that was done, you grabbed some marshmallows that were lying around in the cupboard and threw some of those on top. You popped on in Chanyeol’s mouth and he chewed on it happily. Once you were done you held the cake up in the air like a baby Simba and Chanyeol took a photo of your masterpiece.“I hope it tastes as good as it looks” he laughed, going to dip his finger in the chocolate.“Nu-uh!” you teased, pulling the cake away. “We have to clean up first.”“Can’t we make the maknaes do that when they get back?” he whined.You laughed, “No! Come on you lazy pabo.” You put the cake down on the unit and Chanyeol stared longingly at it. You pulled him away from the cake and towards the sink which you filled up with warm water and soap.“Go and get the bowls” you said, pointing to the mound of dirty bowls and cutlery that you had messed up. He picked them all up and dropped them in to the sink in front of you. You noticed the little pout on his face and chucked a handful of watery bubbles at it.“Yah!” he half shouted, half laughed.“What?” you smirked as you watched him try to get the bubbles out of his hair. He reached over and splashed a load of water over you, soaking your pyjama top completely.“It’s on now!” you giggled, throwing more water back at him. Soon you were both completely drenched from head to toe. The floor was covered in water and bubbles were strewn up the walls. You laughed and screeched as you ran around the kitchen, hiding behind the counters to try and avoid the water. Your hair was completely soaked and had fallen out of its bun so it had turned wavy due to the water.“What the hell is going on in here?” you heard Kris say as he walked through the door and spotted the mess.You looked up at Chanyeol and he stood there with a tiny smirk on his face. You hung your head to try and conceal your laughter.“What’s all this mess?” he asked, pointing to the bubble filled kitchen.“There was a ferocious bubble battle” Chanyeol sighed. He put a hand on your shoulder, “And of course I was the victor.”“No you weren’t!” you laughed.“I so was”“Liar” you stuck your tongue out.Kris pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head.“On the bright side,” Chanyeol smirked, “We made some cake.” Sorry it's a little short and un-edited, it's a school night and I'm really tired ~ goodnight ^_^
