Chapter 46
When we arrived at my house, Harris only drove me in front of my house. Then, after saying goodbye, he just nodded his head without saying anything and just left me alone at my house. I took off my shoes and put them on the shoe rack. Then I walked to the sofa chair, which was located not far from the entrance of my house, and lay my body just on the sofa chair. I just threw my bag on the floor, not caring about the fate of my smartphone that was still in my bag.
My mind then drifted to remember what happened last night. Harris Keith, the person who asked me to dinner yesterday, turned out to have another side that was completely beyond my expectations. And to be honest, I prefer that other side, which looks a lot more attractive than his usual self.
But then I thought of my dog, Dominik Lawrence, and suddenly I felt guilty for what I did with Harris last night. It was normal if I could say that, considering I did things, which was in a vanilla relationship, would be badly cursed. It was because that meant I was doing something very forbidden in a relationship. Cheating on other people and spending evenings with a man who is not even my partner.
Especially if I remembered that we were doing bare sex. If I was not careful, there's a chance I would end up with an unwanted pregnancy.
Okay, that's enough for me to think about all of them. Just imagining it was enough to make me shudder with horror. However, this was completely out of my plans. I agreed to his offer to have dinner with him, so I could dig up information about my past from him.
But what did I get in return? Instead of digging for more information about my connection with Harris in the past, I did what my dog was afraid of. Reluctantly, I pulled the bag strap, which was still lying on the floor. Yes, I decided to call my dog and apologize for upsetting him.
Apologizing to other people really takes away my pride because I'm not the type to apologize for what I did wrong easily. It was like spreading my hated marmalade on white bread. But because this time it was my fault, I have to apologize to him first and take away my pride.
My hand reached for the smartphone that was in my bag and looked for my boyfriend's contact. After cuddling for a moment, I finally gathered my courage to press his contact and called him.
"Hello?"
Dominik's voice was heard from the opposite direction. I swallowed hard and thought about what to tell him. Because I was too nervous, almost not a word came out of my mouth.
"Leah?" called Dominik when he realized that I wasn't on the phone at all.
"Oh, yes. What’s wrong?"
He took a few breaths before starting to speak. "I should have said that. But never mind. Instead of that, why do you call me?"
I bit my lower lip. "You… have received my present, right?" I asked.
"Well, I have received it. Thank you." replied Dominik briefly.
He was still upset about what happened this morning! What should I do now?
"Ah… Hm… About yesterday…"
I didn't have time to continue my words because he immediately hung up without giving me any chances to explain the situation. Now it was my turn to feel annoyed because he didn't give me a chance to explain yesterday's incident. I turned off my phone screen and just threw it on the table. Then I lied my body back on the sofa chair, swearing. My hand grabbed the pillow next to me and immediately hit the pillow as if the pillow was Dominik, and I was beating it up with anger.
“Damn you, Dominik! Do you think it's easy for me to talk about yesterday's incident? I have tried hard to dare to apologize, and it was the reaction that I got from you. Damn you, Dominik Lawrence!" I snorted irritably, hitting the innocent pillow again until I felt somewhat relieved.
"If we can meet again in the morning and beat him up badly, then I will be relieved." I said, catching my gasping breath and lying back down on the couch.
Because today was my last day off before entering the office tomorrow, I started thinking about what I could do to fill my vacation, which would soon end.
"Oh yeah! I just remembered that there was a new recipe I wanted to try. I should try it today." I exclaimed, immediately getting up from the sofa chair and running toward the kitchen. I then ran back to the sofa chair and took my smartphone that was on the table. My eyes then began to search for the recipe I want to try this time.
Once I found the recipe I wanted to make, I immediately took my smartphone into the kitchen and started cooking three-cup chicken. I played a video from my favorite YouTuber showing the recipe and started cooking. Every now and then, I pause the video to make sure that I have done according to the steps in the video before I came back to continue as soon as I did it according to the instructions given in the video.
After a lot of struggle, an hour later, I finally managed to come up with a new recipe. I looked at the results of my cooking with satisfaction, then took a spoon and began to taste my cooking results.
"It tastes a bit sweet. Am I doing it the right way? Is the taste actually sweet like this? But it's pretty good, so I think there's no problem with the recipe. "I said, putting it back in my mouth.
I then remembered the most important thing before eating. "Oh yeah! I forgot that today I haven't cooked rice! Wait here, okay? I'll be right back!" I said to the bowl containing the results of my cooking earlier. I quickly measure out the rice and wash it, then strain it and put it in the rice cooker along with enough water. Then I closed the rice cooker, pressed the cooking button on the rice cooker, and waited for the rice to cook. While waiting for the rice, I took a photo of my cooking and shared it on my WeChat moment, celebrating my success in trying out new recipes.
