“Did the wishes come true?” She asks.

I think back to all the times over the years since she’d left where I’d wished on an eyelash for her to come back with no success.

I eventually gave up, letting hope be replaced with bitterness and resentment.

“Sometimes.” I answer, my tone cold.

She senses the change in me and knows that I’m done talking about this.

“Thank you for telling me.”

Pressing her lips against mine, she gives me a deep but chaste kiss.

That night, I fuck her hardand fast until the sound of her screaming my name reverberates off the walls.

???

“I’m about to blow your mind.”

“You already did last night.”

“I’m about to blow your mindculinarily.” Bellamy clarifies, pushing eggs around in a pan with a spatula as she speaks.

When I woke up, she was gone. I was afraid she’d run off again and rushed downstairs, tripping over the bottom step as I struggled to put on my jeans.

But I found her in the kitchen, wearing another one of my t-shirts and humming quietly as she cooked.

“Is that right?”

“Yup.”

“With eggs?”

“Not just any eggs. A Chinese omelet. One of my mom’s old cleaning jobs was for a Chinese food startup. She got really close with one of the chefs who often stayed late to test recipes. He showed her how to make it and she taught me.”

She plates the omelet and puts it on the island between us, pushing it towards me.

“Oh, one finishing touch.” She says, opening the fridge and pulling out a crispy chili oil I didn’t know we had. “I add some of this on top. It’s not part of the OG recipe, but I like a bit of spice.”

She watches as I fork a piece and put it in my mouth.

Fuck, it’s good. I’ve never had this particular flavor profile before but it’s delicious. I moan in praise.

She claps happily. “You like it?”

“Yeah, it’s really good.” I say, going back for another big bite. “Did you find all this stuff here?”

“Yeah, it was all in the kitchen and pantry. It’s fully stocked with things I’ve never even seen before. I think Claire realized I’ve been cooking lately and bought a few things for us. Please thank her for me if you see her.”

Her politeness is an inexplicable turn on. I want to fuck it out of her. “Will do.”

I scoop another bite and hold it up between us. “Try some of this.” I say.

She comes around to stand next to me and opens her mouth. I feed her the omelet and she groans and nods repeatedly. “Even better than usual.” She says, smiling at me.

I can’t resist. The fork hits the plate with a clang as I stand, grab her by the hips and flip her so she’s pushed against the counter. My mouth comes down on hers and her fingers dig into my hair as she kisses me back with equal fervor.

A throat clearing breaks the moment. I toss a look over my shoulder towards the doorway, expecting to see Rhys or Phoenix standing there like the cockblocks they are.
