The Boy (across the classroom)

The whole 'guy-in-our-house-except-for-my-dad' thing was awkward at first.

But right now, both the boy and mom are having a happy conversation.

Well, as for me, I'm just sitting at the corner sipping my cup of tea.

"So, what do you think of my daughter?" Mother asked.

*SPITTAKE*

I spit out my tea.

"Eh?!" The boy replied also with the same reaction as mine.

"As I said, how do you think of her?" She pointed at me.

"Um..." He gulped a bit, "...s-she's cute, and very nice... I guess."

"I see! Good, good." She nodded waiting for more.

"How's the food?!" I suddenly blurted out.

Man, this is embarrassing. 

"It's really delicious!" The boy smiled at me, and I blushed.

'Please don't make my kokoro go doki doki '

I said in my head.

At the same time, I blushed to the core.

He complimented my cooking!

"Actually, my daughter did all the cooking." Mother smiled at both of us.

"I-Is that so..." He fiddled a bit with his spoon and looked at me.

"Y-Your cooking is really good... um.." He immediatly looked away and started eating.

"T-Thank you.." I covered my mouth because I was so happy.

It made me love him even more.
