Chapitre 47: What Next?

After making myself two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and grabbing a bottle of water, I walk over to the small table and make myself comfy. It was strange saying my name out loud like that after so long... I wonder why he's suddenly curious about that?

As I finish the first sandwich, I reach over to open the water bottle but before I can grab it, it's snatched away. I look up to find Thane looking down at me with dark eyes as he opens the bottle of water for me.

He then places it back down on the table before walking past me and saying "You should eat more than just that." I slowly grab the bottle and take a sip as I turn to look at him with a frown. Why'd he open my bottle like that?

It's not like I can't do it myself... He starts digging in what's left of the food before saying "I'm going to make a quick soup." As he walks past me, he snatches my second sandwich, making me reach out in protest.

He pops the sandwich in his mouth as he starts placing the ingredients for the soup on the counter. I glare at him from the side but I'm too tired to do more than that. When he looks over at me, he smirks and says "Sit down and I will bring it to you when it's done."

I freeze and take a few steps back in shock. Did he just... just smile at me? He ignores my reaction by shoving more of the sandwich into his mouth so I walk back to the table and sit down with a look of confusion.

Cruz walks in and says "Valen! There you are. I was looking for you. Are you feeling better?" He asks coming to sit down in front of me. Still confused, I turn to him with a frown and say "Yeah, sure. Why are you looking for me?"

Cruz smirks but when he looks down at the plate before me, he looks up to me then to Thane before saying "You made you and Thane a sandwich but you didn't make me one?" I go to argue that I had only made the sandwiches for me but I don't see the point.

I sigh and take another sip of my water before asking "What do you need me for?" Thane snorts in laughter, instantly pissing Cruz off but Cruz ignores Thane and says "Well, this base is larger so there's an extra room. Do you want to sleep with me?"

I choke on my water at the same time Thane freezes. Cruz smirks and grabs a napkin, trying to wipe my mouth before I push his hand away and snatch the napkin away from him. I clean the water off my chin as Thane says "Val, will be sleeping with me. Like always."

I turn my eyes to Thane and give him a silent plea as I say "Can we say sharing a room with each other instead of sleeping together!?" I look between the two as they glare at each other but they both ignore me.

Cruz narrows his eyes on Thane before turning back to me with a smile and asking "Who do you want to sleep with?" This time I narrow my eyes at him in suspicion. Was this bastard doing this on purpose!?

I glare at him and say "I'll be SLEEPING with Thane. Like always." I can almost feel Thane's happiness radiating over here but I refuse to look at him. Cruz knows I'm a chick and still wants to share a room with me! How shameless can the tool get!?

Cruz looks slightly upset before leaning forward and whispering "At least you can be comfortable in the room with me. You don't have to hide." I narrow my eyes at him in suspicion again before leaning back and taking another sip but when I see the look Thane is giving us, I nearly choke on my water again!

Thane throws everything into the pot and starts cooking it before asking "That's right, Cruz... you said you met Valen a while back right?" Cruz rolls his eyes and leans on the top of the table in a lazy manner as he says "Yeah, what about it?"

He was pouting... Thane slightly smirks but for some reason, I feel like it's cold. Thane looks over to me before looking back to Cruz and asking "You said you almost didn't recognize him because he looked so different. Was it because he suddenly grew taller or... maybe more manly?"

I suddenly feel a bead of sweat roll down the side of my hairline as my eyes dart to Cruz. He was still facing me so Thane couldn't see his face or the look of panic on it. He couldn't really say I grew taller, I'm freaking short! He couldn't say I was more manly either!!

He slowly sits up and plasters a forced smile on his face as he turns to look at Thane and says "He used to be... Fat. Really, really, really..." I kick him in the shin under the table making him suck in and jump as I say "We get it. I was fat...."

Thane's eyes narrow onto the both of us before saying "I see..." and turning back to cooking. I bare my teeth at Cruz and threaten to punch him, making him flinch and jerk back before climbing out of the seat and saying "Well, if Thane ever pisses you off or snores too loudly, my doors always open."

I glare at Cruz, making him smile as he walks out of the kitchen, leaving Thane and I alone in awkward silence. Why did Thane seem to be so upset... maybe he just doesn't like Cruz. I could totally understand that.

Thane turns to the stove off before scooping soup into two bowls. He walks over and places one in front of me before sitting down across from me with his own. I look down at the quick soup he made and find myself slightly surprised. It actually looks good...

I smile and pick up my spoon as I say "It smells good." I scoop up a spoonful and blow on it before eating it. My eyes light up at the flavors before looking up to him with a large, surprised smile. "This is awesome! I had no idea you were such a good cook! Thank you."
