BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1337 - The Sandwich Master
~ France, the Chateau ~
June 11
10:57 PM
The lights in hallways of the Chateau are off, indicating that everyone retreated to their rooms for the night.
The Chateau is quiet, and on the ground floor the lights are on only in the kitchen. That is where Oni and Michael are, in their search for a meal because they arrived late to have dinner with everyone else.
"What do you want to eat?", Michael asked Oni while opening the fridge.
The two of them looked at the leftovers from dinner but they found them to be too much, and they agreed to have something lighter.
"What is available?", Oni responded with a question while trying to squeeze next to Michael and see what is in the fridge.
"Wait on the side and rest. Let me handle this.", Michael blocked her.
Oni snorted, unwilling to step aside. "What?"
Michael turned toward Oni and in one smooth move lifted her up and placed her to sit on the kitchen island.
"Sit here, rest your feet and be good and I might allow you to taste the most delicious sandwich ever made.", he said smugly.
Oni giggled. "OK. Should I call you the sandwich master?"
He nodded in approval. "I like it."
Oni was not sure where Michael is going with this, but she was curious about the sandwich he announced.
She watched Michael as he got the variety of things from the fridge and the pantry, and started cutting and arranging sandwich ingredients on the plate.
Michael\'s knife skills are undeniable, the sweet bell pepper and cabbage were sliced super-thin. He drizzled lemon juice on top and mixed them up. It was all accompanied with Michael demonstrating and explaining what he is doing like hosts on cooking TV shows, and Oni enjoyed it very much. Heck, even if Michael is cooking porridge the whole day, Oni would watch him intently. And she is sure that it would be the most delicious porridge ever.
Michael disclosed another side of him Oni didn\'t know before. He was busying himself in the kitchen with a smile on his face while being charming and funny and witty, and her bright smile showed him that she likes it.
Michael hummed happily while putting slices of bread on the plates and then he started layering up: creamy cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, two types of ham (with lemon flavored cabbage and bell pepper in-between), fresh tomato slices, lettuce… and the sandwich was growing in height.
She wanted to ask if he is putting things on according to some plan or not, because it all looked random. But she decided not to give him a hard time. He is enjoying, and in the worst case, she will have a glass of milk and say that she is full.
"Try this.", Michael offered her one of the two sandwiches he made when they were topped with the second slice of bread.
"Should we sit at the table? Or at least on the barstool?", Oni asked. She is still sitting on the kitchen island.
Michael rejected and stood in front of her, to block her from hopping down. "This is fine. It\'s just the two of us."
He saw that she gave up on that idea and moved on the side.
"How is it?", Michael asked Oni with eyes full of anticipation when she took a bite.
Oni chewed slowly while thinking how to answer. Well, it\'s not bad, but it\'s nothing special either. What should she say? She swallowed before answering: "It\'s OK."
"Just OK?", Michael was disappointed. "Ah, I know what is missing!"
Oni looked at the sandwich in her plate which is heaping with ingredients and asked weakly: "Something is missing?"
"Mhm…", he hummed while keeping her plate on the side and moving to stand between her legs. "It needs some sugar."
A second later, his lips covered hers, and she understood that the sugar are kisses.
"How is it now?", Michael whispered into her lips.
Oni giggled. "When you sweeten it like that, I could eat dirt and find it tasty."
"Are you comparing my sandwich masterpiece with dirt?"
"No. I am saying that it\'s the most delicious sandwich I ever had.", Oni said with a smile which reached her eyes.
Michael hummed in approval and kissed her again.
Oni and Michael kissed between bites of food and it took them a while to finish their dinner (or is it a late night snack?).
Neither of them noticed that somewhere halfway their sandwich-kissing session, they got an audience…
Marija was unable to sleep and she came to find something to eat when she heard giggles and voices from the kitchen. She paused when she was few steps away and she perked up when she recognized the male voice: it\'s Jesse!
Marija dashed on the side (in the same corner where Oni hid when she caught Marija and Michael flirting in that same kitchen) and she carefully peeked inside. Her eyes almost popped out at the sight of Jesse (aka Michael) and Oni kissing: she is sitting on the kitchen island, and he is standing between her legs with his palms holding onto her back, her arms are around his neck and… they are kissing!
Yesterday morning, Marija heard when Oni said how she spent the night with some guy named Michael, and that they are dating. How come she is kissing Jesse now?
Marija was conflicted. Should she come in, announce her presence, and expose Oni for the liar she is, in front of Jesse? Or should Marija hold back and leave the big reveal with Sarah present? She decided to leave this for Sarah.
Marija got her phone and secretly took few photos of two lovers in the kitchen and smirked at the thought how with this she will prove to Sarah that Oni is not an innocent girl. Also, Marija can\'t wait to see Jesse\'s expression when he finds out that Oni seduced him, while she is dating someone named Michael. Marija does not know who Michael is, but considering that it\'s a boy from their circle, Jesse and Sarah should know. Hmph!
Marija still remembers clearly that two days ago Jesse rejected her, and Oni made her fall into the lake! This payback will be the sweetest thing ever! She is looking forward to the morning when she talks to Sarah and exposes Oni…
Marija was startled out of her thoughts when she saw Michael walk out of the kitchen with Oni in his arms.
"You don\'t need to carry me…", Oni said through giggles.
"Your feet are hurt. I want you to rest, because tomorrow we are going to Paris for our date and I want you to walk. I don\'t mind carrying you, but I would rather do that because I want to hold you and not because you are in pain."
Oni wanted to say that her feet are fine. They healed completely, but he knows that already and she likes that he is pampering her, so she relaxed in his arms and leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Allow me to take care of you… and later, in the bed, you can take care of me…", he said smugly.
Oni understood that he is talking about applying medicine on his eyes. "OK. Taking care of you is the least I can do… considering that you just fed me the most delicious sandwich."
"I demand that you call me the sandwich master!"
Oni burst into giggles. Does he really think that title sounds impressive?
Marija balled her hands into fists when she heard that Jesse (aka Michael) said how Oni will take care of him in the bed, and Oni agreed without any shame.
She watched them dejectedly as Michael carried Oni down the hallway and they disappeared behind the corner.
"Pft! So much for innocence…", Marija sneered. "A date in Paris? We will see if that will happen after I expose that little slut!"
