Flora cut the cake while I went to make an orange and beet juice to refresh that hot day, it was totally natural except for the industrialized sugar, but it contained a lot of vitamin for the body, and that was what I needed the most at that moment, I put some ice cubes and put two glasses on the counter and took a smaller purple plastic glass to Megan not for fear of breaking the glass one, but for the little girl to feel more comfortable in taking the juice and holding a lighter glass in her hands. I went back to the counter and waited for Flora to put Megan's piece on the plate, and only then I could serve myself. - Did you manage to fix the faucet? - Flora, my neighbor, asked after sitting down in front of me, taking a piece of the wonderful dessert she had made. - Yes, everything worked out in the end, Mr. Black is great with these things, I didn't even have to buy another one. - I said, remembering that I didn't really change the faucet. "Will it be a problem if I leave it as

- WAIT! - I heard Ethan's voice too late. - Ow! It's hot! - I literally freaked out, burning the roof of my mouth with just the top of my food, that wasn't hot, it was just made in the lava of a volcano. - Oh my God, Ayanne, are you okay? I told you it was hot! - Flora became desperate and went to the sink to get a glass of water. - Are you dizzy or something? Didn't you know it was hot? - Ethan spoke indignantly, trying to help me by holding out a napkin. - I-I'M ASOPLEI! - I said while shaking my mouth and wiping the corner of my lip since I had literally drooled, coming out with a slurred speech. Flora handed me the glass of water and took a long sip. - Aunt Aya looks like a child! - I saw Megan put her hand on her head in a gesture of disbelief. - Sorry, I didn't know it still got this hot, I blew on it. - I replied when the burning subsided. - Why are you apologizing? You're the one who got hurt. - Ethan spoke with a strange look on his face. I hadn't noticed that I apolog

Draven stopped the car in front of me, bent down to look at me with a cheerful smile, seeing him surprised me but at the same time I was thankful that he was passing by at that moment, otherwise I wouldn't even know what to do. - Do you want a ride? I see it's a little crowded in there. - He spoke in a joking tone, I smiled and shook my head positively before speaking. - I can't refuse, all help is welcome at this time. - I answered, I saw the man get out of the car and go to the trunk, opening it, I approached the man leaving the cart a few inches behind. - You came at a good time. - I said, leaning against the side of the trunk and watching him organize some space, since the man was carrying a few cans of paint. - It was good that you came at the right time, to see your eyes first thing in the morning is the best thing. - I felt my face heat up and had probably turned red, as at the same moment the man let out a laugh. "I have to admit that Draven is very handsome especially und

The man let out a beautiful smile and as if premeditated, the faucet exploded, spurting water everywhere, I got a light spray on my face as the man used his arm to cover me, but it didn't avoid soaking his shirt, I couldn't help but scream with fright. - Get the pot while I try to turn off the water! - I nodded my head as if it were a mission, ran to the end of the counter where there was a washed pan and ran back to the sink literally throwing the pan face down, Ethan was under the sink with his torso almost all the way in. - Did you get it yet? - I asked, getting anxious at the amount of water pouring into the sink. - Almost there! - And as soon as he answered, the water slowed down until it stopped completely. - There! - he answered, getting up from under the sink. - Did it really stop? - I asked incredulously, even though I couldn't hear the sound of the water anymore. - Yes, you can take the pan off. - I said, pointing. - You're not going to get me wet again, right? - I saw

- I'm fine! I'm just a little dizzy. - I answered, trying to reassure him, even though I couldn't see anything around me. - How are you? You're bleeding! - Ethan spoke close to my face, his figure was a little blurry, but I could see that he was down. - Hello? It's probably nothing, just help me up, please. - I asked him, feeling his fingers touching my face, leading me to lift it. - All right, don't move. - His voice was low and close to my ear, and I couldn't deny that I shivered, I nodded and felt his arms encircling my body. - I agreed with my head and felt his arms around my body. What? What are you doing? - I was startled by the man so close and me seeing almost nothing. - Stay calm, I'm just going to get you out of here first. - And as Ethan spoke, I felt my body being lifted off the ground, grabbing his neck in fear of falling. - Please don't let me go! - I begged, cringing and holding him tightly. - It's all right! I won't let go, but you're smothering me! - And when he
