Matty put her phone down and gave her slightly wet hair a light pat before wrapping her hair up in a towel burrito, cone-like whatever. She had put on a large light blue shirt with sleeves reaching her elbows and baggy sweatpants that almost covered her feet that wore fluffy slippers. She was planning on turning the AC on downstairs since the heat would be unbearably hot as the time passes by so she decided on the comfortable outfit that will not make her freeze her butt off in the long-run.

It also felt nice to have the AC on after showers. It was cooler. Feels fresh.

Matty opened the door to her room and went out. She closed it shut before she started to walk towards Karl's room and knocked, "Jacobs?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you mind if I turn the AC on downstairs? It would cool the whole house. Just wanted to check if it's alright with you!"

The door opened and Karl was already wearing a grey shirt and some sweats, a purple toothbrush with freshly added mint toothpaste in hand, "It's alright. Do you need any help in making lunch?" He asked before he shoved the toothbrush in his mouth as the toothpaste threatened to fall down the floor.

"No, it's fine! You can just chill in the living room when you're done. You're totally free to use the TV or explore the whole house if you want." She smiled before waving at him and descending down the stairs.

Her phone felt hot in her left palm and it was itching to send her best friends a quick text but she wanted to turn the AC on first as her skin was beginning to heat up.

When it turned on, she held a hand up to check if it was working and sighed in relief when the cool air hit her hand.

It was acting up the past few days and it terrified her to lose the one thing that she needed to beat the excruciating heat in that place. Being stuck in an abnormally overheated house was not ideal.

"Now what to eat, what to eat." She mumbled to herself as she slowly padded towards the kitchens.

She could try and make a simple grilled cheese sandwich but not gonna lie... She wanted to impress. Her cooking skills was alright and Charlie said that the food was "tolerable".

She decided on making fried rice and some frozen and ready-to-fry spring rolls she'd prepared the other day when she suddenly craved the ones her mom's friend used to make.

It wasn't too heavy but not too light for a late lunch.

She just hopes she doesn't burn anything or else that would be embarrassing.

○●○●

"This is actually amazing." Karl said with wide eyes after he spooned some of the rice into his mouth. He put a hand over his mouth as he spoke though to not get any of the rice spewing out.

"Wait really? Charlie said all my cooking's tolerable." Matty excitedly gushed as she ate some of the rice herself before stabbing the spring roll that laid on her plate and taking a bite. It was good. She doesn't know what happened but the food was actually seasoned well.

Karl nodded, "It's the truth. Did you make the spring rolls too?" He asked in curiosity as he bit on one. It wasn't the same as the ones he buys or the take-outs his friends usually brought. It was more flavorful and the crunch was there and it was satisfying to hear. Most spring rolls end up soft during the delivery time. It was sad to witness such food turn into some crunch-free delicacy when it's supposed to be one.

"Yes, yes I did." Matty blushed in appreciation as she saw Karl mouthed the word wow under his breath before eating again.

"It's my mom's friend's recipe. She's from the Philippines and she always brings this huge tupperware full of it alongside other dishes during potlucks at our house or theirs or when her kids celebrate their birthdays because she knows how much I love it. I was so determined to snatch the whole container and eat it all on my own but I managed to stop myself. Thanks to the juice that ruined my dress when I tried to sneakily get the whole thing."

Oh god, there goes the oversharing.

Matty anxiously gripped her knee when Karl went silent before the man in front of her went into a fit of laughter, "Oh my god. You spilled juice while trying to steal the whole thing?" He asked and she nodded. "I don't know what to say to you Matty, but I don't think you can become a hitman like you wanted to. Where's the stealth?" He joked before laughing again at the pout that rested on Matty's face.

"Hello? I can become stealthy. I just need a little bit of training!" She defended.

Karl hummed like he wasn't fully convinced and Matty kicked his leg which made him jolt up in his seat in surprise. His mouth dropped into an 'o' shape before his hand went over to where his heart was, resting on the smooth surface of his grey shirt, "Rude!" He dramatically said before lightly kicking her back.

They kicked each other a couple more times before settling down as the movement almost made their full glasses of water spill. The two had calmed down and their loud laughter dissolved into light chuckles.

"I will end you. I don't care."

"Do it you won't."

Matty glanced at him. Their blue eyes meeting, staring as if it was a challenge. A staring competition perhaps. It must've been minutes before Matty blinked as her eyes started to water from being kept open.

The two laughed before wiping their eyes, stained with amusement.

"I will dropkick you after we eat."

"Ok."

The two began eating again before Matty remembered something, "Wait. Have you tried dipping the spring rolls in soy sauce with a little bit of lime juice?"

Karl furrowed his eyebrows, "What? I thought people only dipped it in the sweet and spicy sauce?" He asked before pointing at the bottle next to them.

"Well you know, my mom's friend right? She bought this steamed dumplings she calls siomai? It has to be eaten with soy sauce with lime juice and chili flakes. She had spring rolls too. So, when I was young I got bored of the usual sauce and dipped it in soy sauce. And I swear. My entire life changed after that discovery." She explained. She talked about the sauces like they were some kind of ancient and shocking discovery, it was amusing for Karl and he also found it endearing because of how passionate she was explaining a little bit of her childhood to him. He wanted to know more.

Karl seemed intrigued by it so he nodded, "Ok, let me have some."

Matty said a small, "Yay!" before rushing towards the kitchen and when she left Karl had to calm himself. He was amazed by how he was able to maintain a solid conversation with the girl that he was slowly coming to terms he's in love with.

Love?

Wait... Love?

Karl choked, covering his mouth as he aggressively coughed before taking a huge gulp of the ice cold water beside him.

Of all the times his brain and his heart could suddenly agree to the idea that he does love Matty, it had to be the moment where he's in the middle of enjoying his goddamn meal. He was certain someone had it out for him, they were reveling in his embarrassment and the fact that Karl's crush didn't reciprocate his feelings.

He quickly composed himself as he heard soft footsteps coming closer. He can think about his dilemma when he gets back in his room. His feelings can wait. It can wait. Calm the fuck down.

Matty who heard the noise quickly rushed to the small dining room, two small plates in hand.

Her eyebrows were furrowed in concern at Karl's slightly reddened face, the glass of water in his hand almost empty, "Are you alright?" She quickly asked as she set the plates filled with the sauce down on the table.

One for her, one for him.

"Yeah, I'm alright! I just... choked on some rice. I'm good though don't worry." He said with a wave of his hand before he refilled his glass with the pitcher of cold water that was also on the table.

"Goodness. You scared me."

"I did?"

"Yes, you dumbass. You did."

"Sorry.."

"It's alright. Now, here's the sauce I've been telling you about." Matty said pointing to the small plate next to his, "Try it and tell me what you think." She offered with a smile before dipping her spring roll to her respective sauce plate.

Karl did as he was told and her eyes widened once again, "What the hell. How come I didn't know this exists?"

"Right?!"

"I don't know if I'll leave this place anymore. You're a chef."

Matty grinned smugly, "Better than Gordon?"

"A billion times, yes."
