Tales Of The Love - Chapter 118

Calvin’s apartment

Kitchen

After their long hours of work, everyone decided to spend some time in Calvin’s apartment.

“Cal, are you sure you can make it?” Nick asked while giving him a salt

“El taught me how to make a soup. So, you don’t have to worry dude.” Calvin grinned from ear to ear.

“Cal, why don’t we ask Elsa’s help? I mean, you are new to the kitchen so do I. If we ask from experts, it will be helpful.” Nick sighed and said

“You worry too much nick. Soup is most simplest dish.” Calvin helplessly shook his head and said

“Look, tomatoes are boiled.” Calvin excitedly said before carefully placing the hot bowl on the cabinet

‘God, please save me.’ Nick thought

“Nick, open the recipe book and read the step by step process,” Calvin said

“What? Didn’t you said Elsa taught you?” Nick frowned and asked

“Yeah, Elsa taught me but I was so busy observing her beautiful face when she taught me but I remembered the taste,” Calvin said

“You remembered the taste but not the process dude.” Nick frowned and said

“Look Cal, I made a bet with Ava. If we fail to prepare Soup, she will leave for San Francisco. I can’t afford it.” Nick pouted his lips and said

“Don’t worry Nick. Your friend is here.” Calvin said

“Are you sure you can do it? Or else, we have to order it from a restaurant?” Nick said

“No, we can’t cheat our girlfriends by ordering from outside. I know and I can do it.” Calvin firmly said

“Are you sure?” Nick asked

“Yeah,” Calvin said before opening the recipe book.

“Hey babes, I hope we aren’t late.” Martha excitedly said before rushing towards her best friends

“No, you aren’t.” Elsa chuckled and said

“Where is Cal and Nick?” Noah asked before looking around

“They are in the kitchen.” Ava chuckled and said

“What? What are they doing in the kitchen?” Noah asked

“Yeah, it was a bet. He told me not to go to San Francisco. So, I bet him. If he prepares the best soup, I will not go. So, your best friends are trying to do it.” Ava helplessly shook her head and said

“But Both Calvin and Nick doesn’t know cooking.” Noah frowned and said

“We know.” Elsa and Ava chuckled and said

“That’s a smart move babe.” Martha clapped her hands and said

“I think I have to check them,” Noah said before rushing towards the kitchen

Kitchen

Usually neat kitchen turned into a messy one when Noah entered.

“What the hell is happening here?” Noah scrunched his eyebrows and asked

“Ask this man.” Nick pointed towards Calvin said

“What did you both do?” Noah frowned and asked

“I—I am preparing soup perfectly but he interrupted me.” Calvin pouted his lips and said

“Did I asked you to blend the soup? Did I ask you to open the cap of the mixer when the switch is on? Did I asked you to burn your hands?” Nick snapped

“Wait, you burned your hands?” Noah widened his eyes in shock and asked

“It’s nothing man. Just a little burn and it isn’t paining.” Calvin sighed and said

“Forget about that damn burn. Think something about soup.” Nick said

“I will—” Calvin stopped saying and pouted his lips when Nick gave him ‘I will kill you if you prepare soup again’ kind of look.

“Noah, do you know how to make soup?” Nick asked

“Dude, I can boil water but making soup is out of my syllabus.” Noah raised his hands and said

“Arghhh, why the hell God gave me such a useless friend?” Nick groaned in frustration

“Nick, don’t worry. I know a restaurant that can make the world’s best soups. I will order from it.” Noah excitedly said

“But, how can we go out and bring the order? Elsa, Ava and Martha are sitting in the living area.” Calvin said

Thinking for a while, Noah said “I will bring them to your work and show some pictures or any painting. You both can sneak out and bring the parcel.”

“Yeah, that’s a great idea. At least I have a friend who can use brains.” Nick sighed and said

“Hey, I too have a brain okay.” Calvin frowned and said

“But, you don’t use it.” Nick scoffed

“Why did you blend the soup?” Noah asked

“I—”

Cutting Calvin off, Nick said “I will tell you. There is a point in this recipe book. It said that we need to mix the soup until it gets thicken. Our super talented Calvin wanted to blend it because it will get mixed earlier.”

“After bending for one minute, he opened the cap of the mixer without switching off the mixer.” Nick scoffed

“Seriously Cal, you don’t know how to use a mixer? Very bad.” Noah helplessly shook his head and said

“As if you both know everything in the kitchen. You both don’t even know what is mayonnaise and what is cheese.” Calvin scoffed

“Anyway, we won’t create rucks in the kitchen.” Nick looked around and said

Calvin frowned and said “It’s all your fault. You disturbed me.”

“Shut up guys. We need to work together to make this possible.” Noah frowned and snapped

Nodding their heads in agreement, Calvin sighed and said “Fine, let’s clean it together.”

“Good, you both clean the floor and I will clean.” the cabinet Noah said

“This Aunt Laura is getting into my nerves.” Ava frowned and said

“Yeah, I didn’t hear the whole conversation but mom told to Aunt Amelia that she came to talk about Anna’s engagement with Calvin.” Martha helplessly shook her head and said

“She—Ahh, I don’t have words for her.” Elsa groaned in frustration

“Babe, I think you have to make it fast.” Ava sighed and said

“Yeah, what if that Anna makes a move before you do?” Martha asked

“I will propose him once I return back.. I have to talk to mom and dad about Calvin before moving further. I mean I love him and I mean it but my parents have to know about their future son in law, right?” Elsa chuckled and said
