"Okay, shall we begin?" London asked, he had changed into a cream hoodie.
I put Cosmo down gingerly, he wasted no time to scurry out.
"Oooh, I like this," I said to London, referring to the hoodie, and touching his shoulder. I had a thing for colors that didn't get enough recognition or attention. "Let me wear it."
"No."
"Why?"
"Because."
"Because why?"
He rolled his eyes, irritated, but also giving in. London pulled the hoodie over his head, leaving him in a plain tee that showed off his bare arms. He held it out to me.
"Thank you, kindly." I beamed, took the garment, and put the hoodie on. I then went over to the sink to wash my hands from touching Cosmo.
His hoodie was big on me, the end went a little below butt and the sleeves were long too.
I sat on the peninsula as London washed his hands quietly.
"Are you mad at me?" I suddenly asked.
"No, Paris, I'm not mad at you," he muttered.
"You want your hoodie back?"
"No, it's fine, you can keep it."
I really did love his considerate nature. It made me feel even worse for how I treated him when he first got here. I tried to disregard that.
His hoodie smelled like vanilla when I put my nose to it and inhaled.
"What was that?" London looked back at me with concern.
"What was what?" I asked.
"That noise."
"Oh! I just smelled your sweater. You smell like vanilla."
He nodded. "Okay." He then went back to pulling out bowls and pots. "We're going to make pasta."

"Boring," I said with my hands cupped around my mouth.
"Well, what do you have in mind? I'd love to hear it."
I really didn't have any idea of what to cook, I just didn't want to make arid-ass pasta.
"Pizza," I insisted.
"Do you know how to make dough?"
"No."
"Well, then, no."
I sighed. "Why can't I just do your makeup again instead of this?"
He turned around with a smile on his lips.
"Another time. Come boil the noodles."
I pushed myself off the counter and put water in the pot, then turned on the stove on low. I didn't break the noodles instead I just put them in there, I heard somewhere that that's what the Italians do.
Then I put a cover on the pot and smiled to London.
"Okay, good job," he enthused. "Now I want you to cut onions, you know how to hold a knife, right?"
"Yeah." I began cutting on the cutting board as my cooking teacher watched closely, really closely. Literally, he was standing over me.
"Oh my god, what?" I demanded, turning my head to him. "Why do you have to stand over me?"
"I just want to make sure you don't hurt yourself, that's all."
My heart fluttered. "Aww, London." I jutted out my lower lip and hugged him with my my arms wrapped around his neck. "You care about me."
I was purposely being dramatic, he clearly knew that and still hugged me back.
"Always." I wasn't expecting that.
I only pulled my head back to look at him.
"Wait, really?"
He nodded once.
"I care about you too, bestie." The bestie part was to lighten the mood again, but, I really did care about London.

"Yeah, yeah," he said dismissively and then muttered something I didn't get.
"Hm." I knew my father's grunt.
I kept my arms around London, he did the same with me, and looked at my dad.
"Hi, Daddy," I greeted.
"Hey, Ezra."
"What's going on down here?" Dad asked.
"London's teaching me how to cook, and guess what? He cares about me. I just learned that information today, so now I'm hugging him," I explained to him keenly.
"Huh, good to know," he acknowledged. "You need me to take Cosmo for a walk."
"London already did," I replied. I don't think I remembered the last time I've walked Cosmo at night, my parents had always done so.
"Okay, then, I'll see you two later.
"Where're you going?" I asked.
"Just across the street to the Jones.' Mom's over there."
"'Kay, bye have fun."
Dad left and London and I were still hugging. I finally pulled back when I remembered about the food.
London stood over me as I finished up cutting the onions. For his sake and mine, I was careful with the knife.
We didn't exchange too many words during the process. I thought that was good, since I would've been distracted easily. Plus, I wanted the food to turn out well, and for London to be proud of me.
"Is it good?" I asked him when he ate some, standing really close to read his expression.
"Delicioso."
"Oh my god, are you proud of me?" I hoped with a smile.
"I'm always proud of you, even when you do the bare minimum."
I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a small peck on the cheek. I didn't care about the food really. Well, I did. London was proud of me, so in my head, nothing else mattered.

Witch of Andania
Laura Alexandra Muriel is the willful 16-year-old crown princess of the island kingdom of Andania. Endowed with breathtaking beauty and well-versed in both the twin arts of magic and the zither, she’s the gem of the imperial family. However, the golden age of Andania is long past and the weakened nation is besieged by the northern protectorate of Vaishya and threatened by the southern slave empire of Saadian. As the flames of war ignite throughout the world and Andania teeters on the brink of destruction, the nation’s survival demands the ultimate sacrifice from one to save the many. A civilization with two opposing systems of magic. Ancient Magic: Wielded only by Andanian witches, emphasizes innate Talent and self-sacrifice for higher magic (Talismans, Song). New Creation Magic: Preferred by the high gods & the rest of the world, requires sacrificing the life energy and blood of others for higher magic (Spells, Incantations & countless other forms). A world with two antagonistic superpowers and an island nation forced to the brink of extinction. Protectorate of Vaishya: The world’s largest trading union. Calcutta, the capital is the wealthiest city on earth, and ruled by the benevolent Zimran royal family, who seeks to establish a trading monopoly on unique Andanian magic. Empire of Saadian: The world’s mightiest slave empire. Riyadh, the capital is the grandest city on earth, built on the backs of countless slaves, and ruled by the Immortal Emperor Xerxes, who seeks exclusive rights to the immense military potential of unique Andanian magic. Andania: In its golden age, its unrivalled magical wares were famous throughout the known world. Magical artifacts with unimaginable power, flying fleets of steel, and enchantments that rivaled the divine blessings of gods. But today. An aged powerless king clings on to power with his two young daughters, the last of the ancient witches of Andania. And as the fleets of both Vaishya & Saadian crest the horizon, the survival of the nation is threatened as never before. And two princesses that simply wanted to spend a happy childhood together in peace. Laura Alexandra Muriel: The willful & stubborn elder sister and The Witch of Andania, the title granted to the most accomplished witch of her generation. Her sworn duty, to sacrifice even her very life, to ensure the safety of her people. Her greatest love and lifelong competitor, her dearest younger twin sister. Lily Alexandra Muriel: The kind & supportive younger sister and the undisputed genius in the zither and song. Her only wish, to live in peace and quiet with her elder twin. Her curse, a power that could doom an empire to desolation. What’s the worst that could happen? A forbidden Tower, that can grant any wish. A forgotten Species, resides within the darkest depths of the seas. An ancient Serpent, plots to usurp the remnants of the high gods. Powerful witches, desperate wishes, lost memories. Immortal emperor, devious archmages, blood sacrifice. High gods, undead diviners, hidden costs. Will the mortal witches finally triumph? Will the Immortal rule the world? Will the gods survive the serpent’s schemes? And what about that cute fluffy kitten? Will she ever have her heart’s desire? Tags: Fantasy, Action, Tragedy, Romance, Comedy, Adventure, Strategy, Magic
