Strings of FateCam 28- Cooking and cuddling
I'm not sure how things turned out this way but I’m standing in my kitchen watching as Harry cooks me dinner. He is alsomessing with my coffee machine which has me very concerned.
“Careful, that machine is expensive and if you break it | can’t afford to-”
“| know, | know. | have the same one at home. Don’t worry. | know what I’m doing.” Harry answers easily. He has the same coffeemachine as me? Why? Like seriously, | know how much that machine costs. It is far too expensive for one person living alone.Either he likes coffee as much as | do or he’s worse with money than | thought. He turns back to cooking which has me just asanxious.
“Do you even know how to cook? | could-” Harry cuts me off by pushing a fresh cup of coffee (made exactly the way | like) intomy hands. | don’t know how he remembers the way | like it, | think | might have mentioned it once while he was asking hisneverending streams of questions.
“Stop fretting, sit down and relax. I’ve got this covered. You're always serving me at your bar, let me take care of you for once.”He insists. | want to argue, he was just meant to be bringing in the groceries. But somehow | find myself sitting on the couch,sipping my coffee and watching him work.
“| can’t believe you know how to cook.” | comment. Harry shrugs.
“Who else is going to cook for me? I’ve lived alone since | turned eighteen. | can’t make anything too complicated but | have thebasics down.” He explains. | can’t imagine living alone at eighteen. | only left my parents house when they tried to marry me offand before that | would have been totally happy living there indefinitely.

It's not long at all before Harry is dropping himself down on the couch beside me, taking my empty coffee cup and replacing itwith a plate with a pretty decent looking omelette on it. He has one for himself too. | didn’t exactly invite him for dinner, but | don’tthink | can realistically complain since | did sit here quietly and let him cook for me. | guess the least | can do is let him join mefor dinner. Quite literally the least | can do. Kicking him out at this point would probably be more work than just letting him eat,and it’s been a while since | had company for a meal. | don’t think I’ve had proper company for dinner since the dinner party atthe Alpha’s place and that was weeks ago now. I’m so caught up in eating and trying to figure out if I’m okay with Harry beinghere on my couch that | don’t even notice Harry picking up the remote or turning on my TV. | tune in when I realise he’s scrollingthrough my streaming services trying to pick a movie.
“Woah, wait a second. What are you doing now?” | demand. Harry looks at me, one eyebrow raised. His expression sayingwithout words are you stupid?”
“I'm finding us something to watch, obviously, Why? Did you want to talk while we’re eating?” He asks. | shake my head.
“No, | just...” | trail off. | think | lost this argument before it even started. Harry is already here, already on my couch and eatingmy food. What's the harm in letting him put a movie on? | know that if | really decide to kick up a fuss he will leave. Although |have to admit that the feeling of his magic has me a little on edge. But that could just be the fact that a stupidly attractive guy justmade me coffee, cooked me dinner and is currently sitting so close to me that | can feel the warmth of him beside me. Blaminghis magic is easier though. How the hell does Ryann stand it? Has she learned a way to avoid his magic? Or maybe she justdirects her lust elsewhere and her partner reaps the benefits? Because | can’t see how she can be friends with an Incubus andactually maintain functioning brain cells. | can’t imagine how bad it would be if | actually slept with him. I’ve already found myselfdaydreaming on more. than one occasion about how it felt to kiss him, and that was just a fake kiss to put on a show
