SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE BEGINNING AND FOREVER
Mat: *he finally gets to rest after putting her to sleep an hour ago*
*arms around her*
Mhirfa: *woke up*
*turns around to face him*
Mat: *felt her restlessness in his arms*
*held her tighter to to keep her still*
Mhirfa: *puffs her cheeks full of air*
"Am hungry!"
Mat: *just tries to ignore her, and hopefully she goes to sleep*
Mhirfa: *raised her voice*
"Am hungry!!"
Mat: *just pretended to sleep, and hopefully she goes to sleep too*
Mhirfa: *furios*
*slips down his arms*
Mat: *realizing what she intends to do, he immediately grabs her by the waist...*
*...then rolled on top of her*
"I'm awake... I'm awake,"
Mhirfa: “Am hungry!!!”
Mat: *rest his head on her shoulder*
"What do you want to eat?"
Mhirfa: "Ah... don't know,"
"Hmmmm..."
"...you?"
*giggles*
Mat: *a soft inaudible curse left his mouth*
*exhaled*
"We still have instant noodles, the left over meat this morning and some veggy cut offs..."
"...I can probably make something out of it."
Mhirfa: "Kay!"
*she put her arms around his neck...*
*...then wrapped her legs around his waist*
Mat: *kissed her on the forehead*
*he snake an arm around her back*
"Here we go,"
Mhirfa: *clung tightly*
Mat: *grunted as he lift her off the bed*
*he slowly walked towards the corner table of the small room their renting*
Mhirfa: *overextending to reach the light*
Mat: *he was getting out balance*
"Ghad! Be careful, will you?"
*walks towards the light switch*
Mhirfa: *flips the switch*
*her eyes watered as the light hit her*
Mat: *still half asleep he continued towards his destination*
*gently placed her on top of the table*
"Let go now, I need to cook."
Mhirfa: *kissed him before letting go*
*grabs his pants as he walks away*
*giggles*
Mat: "Hell..."
*gave her a weak smile*
*took hold of her hand and returned it to her*
Mhirfa: *pouts*
*jumps down the table and sat on the chair*
Mat: *prepared to cook*
*Checks the instant noodles instruction guide on how to cook, to avoid making a mistake*
- Bring 2
1/2cups of water to a boil... yes, make sure it's boiling - Drop the noodles — GENTLY!
- Cover and let it cook for about 2 minutes, but don't get too complacent, check the noodles texture and stir if needed
- While waiting prepare the bowl, seasonings, left over meat and veggy cut offs
- When satisfied with the noodles, remove from heat
- Serve it over a bowl, add seasonings and mix... again gently
- Add the veggy cut offs, make sure you wash them and only put the edible ones
- Then add the meat
- Lastly, serve it hot and with a smile...
"I am done,"
Mhirfa: *waiting happily at the table*
Mat: It's hot — take care..."
*left her to her devices and made instant coffee for himself*
Mhirfa: *ate her hearts fill*
