A Love Trap

"Are you awake?" said Andrew in a soft voice like talking to a child. When Ashley was trying to remember what had happened, Andrew's voice interrupted her, making her jerk a little in surprise.

Hearing his voice, she turned and saw Andrew walking into the room.

Ashley nodded her head and asked, "Why I am here?"

"You fell asleep on the couch. I was afraid that you might catch a cold, so I took you here," answered Andrew with a sly expression on his face.

Realizing that she was caught in the act, Ashley couldn't utter a word. Since Andrew had transferred her from the couch to the bed, he must have found out that she was eating chips. That meant a disaster for Ashley. She peeked at him and tried to see if he was angry.

"Are you hungry? Let's go downstairs and eat," Andrew suggested. From the sound of his voice, Ashley was relieved that he didn't get mad at her, making her draw a deep sigh of relief.

The moment she woke up, she felt quite okay. But when Andrew mentioned something about eating, she rubbed her belly and realized that she was hungry at the moment, so she walked down with Andrew.

At the dining table, the food was wonderful. The dishes prepared looked tasty and smelled great. The sight and aroma immediately caught Ashley's eyes. She couldn't help but wonder who had prepared all these. Claire was not working today, so it was not her. Only the two of them were at the house since yesterday. Moreover, Ashley was asleep most of the time. Thus, Andrew had be the one who was responsible for preparing all the delicious dishes.

With the mystery solved that Andrew had made the food, a satisfied and grateful smile was drawn on Ashley's face. She looked at his direction, and was thankful for him for everything he had done for her.

Staring at the food, Ashley sat still. Andrew put the chopsticks in her hand and asked, "What's the matter? Just give them a try, and see if they taste good."

"Did you cook all of them?" Ashley looked at Andrew and asked. She was still surprised at the feast prepared in front of her. All this time, living with him, Ashley remembered correctly that Andrew only knew how to make some easy breakfast. She didn't expect all those delicious dishes were cooked by him.

With a confident smile, Andrew nodded and explained, "I learned how to cook at my spare time."

Without Ashley's knowledge, the truth was that Andrew took a class for it. When they first had a meal together at home, Ashley joked that he should learn how to cook a real meal, so he took some cooking lessons just to meet her request. From that moment on, he said to himself that he wanted to cook for Ashley and enjoy them all together with her for the rest of their lives.

Culinary arts and cooking lessons were not hard for him at all. People with high IQ like him could learn anything very quickly and be good at it in a blink of an eye.
