Seducing My Heartless Husband

” okay, can’t wait to see her.” Terry was very enthusiastic. She wanted to meet the woman who always made her friend smile everytime her name was mentioned.

” Seems like we have to cook fur ourselves now.” Martina stated.

” Okay, no problem. I can help you.” Terry volunteered

” Your? Help me? Or you just want to burn down my kitchen? Thankyou but no.” Martina said sternly . Her friend couldn’t even prepare a cup of tea talk less of cooking anything edible. She might as well concort poison if she fails to set the whole house ablaze.

” Come on , do you have to make it sound so horrible?” Terry complained. It’s not like she disliked cooking, it’s Just that cooking never accepted her. She would end up chopping her fingers off is she tried using a knife or burn herself with oil. After trying majy times with no avail, she gave up trying. But that didn’t make her feel any better. She envied those people who could cook with ease. She also wanted to be the same but it seems like it was an impossible task for her.

” Am not making, it’s the truth anyways.” Martina shrugged. ” Now, be a good girl and sit at the kitchen counter and watch. That’s only what you are allowed to do.” Martina said dragging her to the kitchen and made sure she was well seated before she started making something for them to fill their stomachs.

It was already past lunch, so a fast meal would do.

She retrieved two packets of instant noodles and put them in the already boiling water. She then added the seasoning and covered them to Cook. She took the cooked peas from the fridge, unfroze them before adding one small cup to the boiling pot with noodles Then finally added to pieces of braised beef to thicken the broth. She also stir fried some vegetables and cut fruits.

In thirty minutes time, the girls were happily eating their late lunch. Terry couldn’t believe how simple noodles turned to be Such a delicious meal. She could swear that Martina’s cooking was better than the professional cook her father pays a fortune.

” WOW, this is good.” She was never mean with compliments.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

” I could eat this a year without getting tired of it. Louisa, you are awesome. I wish I could marry you and make you my personal Cook.” She added still devouring her food like an hungry child.

” Eeeew! Am straight okay?” Martina pretended to be disgusted by her words.

” I thought you were interested with women after you lashed at that handsome hunk?” Terry questioned knowing very well that her words would irk her friend and true to her thoughts…

” Shut up! Don’t mention that asshole to me. You will make me loose appetite.” Martina said glaring at terry and the latter burst out laughing.

The remaining meal was eaten silently. Martina was contemplating on how she could reveal herself to her twin sister and best friend. She felt guilty fooling them when they have been nothing but nice to her. She knew that she had to do it so that she could allow the mother and daughter to finally meet. Her mother was longing to hold and embrace her other daughter.

Terry saw that at some point Martina had stopped eating and was playing with her chopsticks.

” What’s wrong Louisa, anything bothering you?” She inquired. She wanted to be able to help her with her burdens, afterall, that’s what friends were for, right?

” If someday, you find that I approached you with an ulterior motive, what would you do?” She out of the Blue asked. Terry was taken aback with the sudden questioning. What did she mean by that?

” Well as long as your intentions are pure and wouldn’t cause harm, then I think if you genuinely explain to me, I can listen to you.” Terry replied after thinking for Long.

” Rest assured, I will never hurt you or the people around you Terry. I take you genuinely as my friend, it’s Just that there are some things about me I can’t tell you now, but you will soon find out. Do you trust me?” Martina asked expectantly.

” Yeah, I trust you, for now.” Terry answered.

” Thanks.. that means the world to me.. I would never do anything to break the trust of the only friend I have had for years.” Martina replied honestly. You could say that Terry was her first ever close friend.

She never had friends in her country. When she was young, the other children always avoided her because she came from a poor family with only one parent. She even at some point heard a parent telling her child to stay away from her because she was a cursed child and that’s why her father never wanted her.

When she grew up, she joined the mercenary group. She would take assignments when she wasn’t in school. During that time, she was worried about her expenses and strived to help her mother who was starting to be in a bad health.

She never knew what it felt like to have friends, Terry was the first to evoke Such feelings in her. She treasured her so much, Just like a sister.

” Okay, that’s enough for me.” Terry smiled at her. She could tell that her friend was going through something and since all she wanted from her was her trust, she would give it to her unconditionally.

After they finished eating, Terry helped Martina do the dishes, atleast she knew how to do that. After chatting over a movie which ofcourse only Terry paid attention to, they bid each other good-bye promising to meet at their agreed entertainment joint later.
