LET'S GO ON A DATE NEXT WEEK

Belle and Allen were both stunned. They didn't expect Eli would react this way. 

[Did I go too far? Will we become enemies now?] Allen thought while looking at Eli apprehensively. 

"Why are you not happy with it?" Belle questioned while putting down her ladle. "Allen is someone very dear to me and I don't really mind cooking for him. Why are you so against the idea? I didn't ask you to help me cook for him." 

"Yeah, you didn't. As your boyfriend, can't I even show such a little care for you?" 

Allen looked between the couple and sighed. He didn't mean for this to happen. "Eli, I understand that you are worried for her since she is your girlfriend, but you are restricting her too much. She can certainly cook for someone she treats like her family, right?" 

"And are you sure that you only see her as a family?"
