°° STAY CLEAR!!°°
He cried.
He has heard that onions can be wicked but he didn’t know that it was this much.
His eyes were hurting as hell, he couldn’t open it.
“Darn you! If you knew you couldn’t slice onions while pick it up??” She scolded.
“I only wanted to help… My eyes!!”
“Don’t touch it.” She cautioned as he made to rub his eyes with his hand.
He slowly brought his hand down and she took her hand to his face, wiping off his tears.
Miguel froze for a second.
She used her fingers to part his eyelids aside, helping him to open his eyes.
He felt the itching pain again and quickly closed his eyes.
“Open it slowly.” She instructed, softly and he did as she said.
His eyes met hers and they began gazing at each other’s eyes, with unexplainable emotions.
“See that?, that’s what I call trying to make them fall.” Bella nudged at Mr Leonard, smirking at where she sat.
Her eyes were only on Yolanda and Miguel, the other contestant didn’t matter to her.
“Huh??”
“You call yourself a love therapist, but you weren’t able to do anything to bound this two together.” She said to him.
“Who told you I’m a love therapist??” He asked, obviously surprised.
“Let’s say, I mistakenly heard what I was not supposed to hear.” She smirked and his eyes widened.
She heard when he was talking to Mr Adams hours ago.
“Yes.” She replied his thoughts.
“Gawd! This girl you’re unbelievable.” He shook his head.
“Sure I am.” She smirked.
They returned their gaze to Yolanda and Miguel who already broke the staring competition.
“Thanks.” Miguel said but she didn’t reply.
?️”15 minutes has been used so far and some contestant haven’t started yet.”
Came from the MC.
Yolanda returned to slicing the beef without sparing him a glance. Miguel looked at the other couples who were having a conversation as they cooked, it appeared they were the only odd ones.
“I’ll slice the onions, do something else.” She said.
“Like what??” He asked.
“Like standing to watch.” She said sarcastically.
“Okay, I guess I should assist in slicing the…”
“Don’t even try it!!” She cut off.
“Huh??”
“I’m not sure you can’t handle a knife, just leave it.” She said and he smiled.
“I didn’t know you care.” He said and she rolled her eyes.
“But one of the rules says neither of the couple should be dormant.” He pouted.
“Pretend to be working.” She said, she was already done slicing the beef, she chopped the onions afterwards which she lit the gas and placed a pan on it.
“I can’t pretend…”
“Pass me the oil.” She instructed.
“Yes ma’am.” He gave her the oil.
She poured a little quantity into the pan and poured in the washed corn when the oil has heated, it made a shrilling sound.
“Whoa! Is this how they make Chilaquiles??” He asked.
“You ain’t blind, are you?”
“Hmph!! Always rude.” He muttered.
She began stirring the corn. “Pass me the salt…” He immediately gave it to her.
“The onions…”
“Chili…”
“Cabbage…”
“Salsa…”
“Salsa??” She called again…
“Miguel, sal…” She turned to look at Miguel, who stood at the same spot, looking at the ingredients before him…
‘Which is salsa??’ He wondered.
“Don’t tell me you don’t know it??” She asked and he pouted, shaking his head negatively.
She face palmed herself.
She turned off the gas and turned to him but her hand brushed the pan flipping it over.
“Ouch!!!” She shrilled as some of the content spilled on her hand, the pan fell to the floor and everything spilled on the floor.
“Landa!!” He screamed in worry, taking her hands.
?️Oh no!
“Oh no, Yolanda!” Bella muttered.
“Do you know how to treat burns??” She asked Mr Leonard.
“How would I know??”
“Tsk, Landa.”
“Ouch!! My hand, my hand…” Yolanda cried, blowing her hand.
It was burning up. He began blowing it for her but it was helping at all.
“What do I do?? How do they treat burns??” He wondered.
He rushed to bring a jar of water to pour on it but Yolanda declined immediately.
“Water… Won’t help.”
What do I do? What do I do?
“Miguel… My hands… Do something…” She cried, jolting him from his thought.
He rushed to the MC immediately.
“Sir do you know how to treat burns?” He asked and the MC shook his head negatively.
He walked away before he could even say a word.
“You all are chef right? You must know how to treat burns, tell me… What should I do??” He asked, hopefully they would give him an answer.
Sadly, they all shook their head negatively.
“Seriously!!! And you guys call yourself chefs?? Darn it!!” He yelled frustratedly, anxiety clearly written all over his face.
He looked back at Yolanda who was crying, her skin was slowly peeling off.
It broke his heart and he rushed to her.
“Flour. Apply flour on the burn, after the contest you can get her properly treated.” Chef Lilly’s voice sounded and he stopped dead on his track.
He turned to look at him and she smiled at him.
“Thank you, thank you ma’am.” He appreciated.
“Welcome.” She smiled.
He got back to the kitchen and did as she said. He got a flour from the cupboard and went to Yolanda.
“Here, this will help.” He said as he made her sit on the floor.
He sat on the floor as well and poured the flour on her hand which had turned completely red, her skin was already peeling off.
“Aishh.”
“Sorry.” He said, as he applied the flour on the burn with care.
She stopped crying for a while to watch him as he treated the burn with so much care.
She wiped her tears with her other hand, staring at him.
By now, they have become the source of entertainment to all the contestants as they have already stopped cooking to watch them.
“Awwwn.”
“See that?” The girl who bumped into Yolanda earlier asked her hubby.
“What?”
“It’s not about being all romantic, you should learn how to be caring from him.” She told him.
“You mean I should poured hot oil on your hand and tender the wound afterwards?” He asked.
“I didn’t mean that exactly, look at them… I envy their love.” She said.
“That means our love is not interesting, is that what you’re tryna say?” He asked.
“I didn’t say that.” She cleared.
?️I know this is supposed to be a cooking contest, but this contestant seven couples have turned it to a romantic movie.
?️ Swears.
?️ Awwwn, they look so cute together.
?️ They’re the only couple who have caught my attention since I got here.
