I only managed to cook something simple for both of us since I myself doesn't have too much of an energy to do anything to be honest. I might be exaggerating things, but I tend to get really tired whenever I work to be honest. Plus, it has been like a month ever since I've worked in an office

I washed all of the utensils and cleaned everything before going to the living room to wake Joshua up.

I shook him lightly, calling his name in the process.

He then opened his eyes slowly as he groaned

"You've gotten ready already ?" he asked as he stretched his arms

"Let's go now" he rubbed his eyes and stood up from the couch

"We don't need to go out Josh. I've cooked for both of us already" I said to him and he turned to me immediately with a shocked expression plastered onto his face.

"How long have I been asleep ?" he asked

"I'd say an hour or so ?? I'm not sure" I shrugged

"That aside, let's eat now" I smiled as I held his hand

Both of us went to the dining room together as we sat down at the table. I've already prepared the utensils and all so he doesn't have to do much.

"Sophia I swear to god you didn't have to cook ! Why didn't you wake me up earlier ?" he asked with a frown

"Nope ! I certainly have to" I chuckled as I put some food on his plate

"But you're tired aren't you ?? Yet why ?" he asked

"You are too aren't you ??? Beside, it's not that much of a problem anyways so don't worry" I said as I put on some food on my plate

He was quiet for a bit

"Thank you..." he mumbled but I could hear it loud and clear

"You did well on working today. Think of it as a reward for always working hard" I smiled at him

"Let's eat now. We can rest more afterwards" I added as I began to eat

When she said those words, I could've sworn I was on cloud nine. I'm just... Really happy. Not even my parents do this for me so I am really really touched and happy when she said those to me.

It may have been simple gestures and words, but for someone who rarely receive such attentions because of how busy my parents are, this is more than enough for me. Despite how many relationships I've been in... This has been by far the sweetest.

I just... Couldn't help but adore her.

It was then she raised her head to look at me

"Josh ?? You ain't eating ??" she asked

"A-ah, I'm about t-to !" I said, flustered

I began to eat but I couldn't stop but glancing at her. She seemed to be really focused on eating. If I were going to say a fact about her, I'd say that she's a slow eater and she focuses on her food more so she prefers to not have any conversation in between. Honestly, it's cute of her I don't know why.

"Why do you keep on looking at me Josh ??? Is it not good ???" she asked as she was pouting

"Of course it tastes great Soph" I said as I let out a chuckle
