Natasha looked down at the plate. She was immediately startled by the beautiful image of the mouthwatering steak on a bed of sweet potato fries, spinach and cherry tomatoes. The alluring fumes were also continuously attacking her sense of smell.
On the side was a cold glass of orange juice with a silver knife and fork wrapped up in white tissue. Natasha's belly began to rumble with hunger.
*RUMBLE grrrrrr*
Rose also smelt the food and stood up on her seat looking over to Natasha's table.
"Dad, what is that," Rose said pointing at Natasha's table.
"It's rude to point, Rose. Miss Rushmen is eating a healthy steak with goulash sauce and sweet potato fries. And no you can't have it because you already ate and its close to bedtime" Said, Theodore
"But I'm hungry, please" Said Rose with her eyes wide open and her lower lip sticking out.
"Sorry princess it's getting late but you can have warm glass milk before bedtime," Theodore said while patting her head.
Rose was slightly disappointed and continued watching her cartoons. Theo looked back to Natasha and saw that she was silently admiring it
"it will go cold if you don't eat it now" Said, Theodore
Natasha snapped out of her little food fantasy and looked up at Theo with a dangerous glint before it changed back to a calm smile. She then unravelled her knife and fork from the tissue.
Then she cut a small piece of the steak and pokes her fork through and then also add a sweet potato to the fork before putting it in her.
Biting into the steak and sweet potato, she felt the juices ooze out and caress her taste buds. She began to feel her surrounding change into a green meadow with the spring breeze blowing through her long ginger hair.
"Incredible" Natasha whispered but it was heard by the superhuman, Theodore.
Natasha has been on numerous undercover mission that had her eating at the world best restaurants, this even included eating with royalty. So it's safe to say that her sense of taste is at a very high level.
She was frantically cutting, piecing and chewing with enthusiasm. She looked up halfway through and saw Theodore's shocked expression. She quickly realised that her image of being a calm and cool beauty was utterly destroyed.
"I advise you to wash it down with some orange juice or else you'll choke" Said Theodore with a smug smile.
Natasha lowered her head in shame and slowly grasped the glass before taking a sip.
"It's nice to meet you, I'm Natalie Rushmen" Said Natasha while cutting into her food.
"Yes, I heard and it's nice to meet you as well. my name is Theodore Hunt" Said Theodore while taking seat near the end of Rose's table.
"You must have some good ears to even hear me talking to Rose while cooking" Said Natasha with a smile.
"Cooking to me is instinctive, so focusing on something else is easy" Said Theodore casually
Natasha nodded to his answer but she was still very doubtful "So can ask for seconds"
"Yes, of course, you can but can I ask of you not to ask my daughter any personal question as they are private" Said Theodore with anger booming from his eyes.
Natasha's heart stopped momentarily but she managed to keep her cool and reply "Nothing stays private Mr Hunt"
"Yes true but still if you want to know something don't go sneaking around peoples backs looking for answer, just ask me maybe I'll answer" Said Theodore with a tired look
Natasha nodded and asked "So who are you Mr Hunt"
Theodore smiled and looked at Rose lovingly before saying "I'm Theodore Hunt 23 years old. Running a small shop with the responsibility of being a father"
Natasha's browse moved to show that she was not satisfied with the answer. "You know that's not what I meant"
"But that's the only thing I care about"said Theodore with a sincere look which was then followed by the light hiring his body perfectly.
Natasha wanted to ask more but was left awed by his figure bathing in light.
"So another steak with goulash sauce and sweet potato fries?" Theodore asked.
"No thank you, is it possible for me take some away?" Natasha
"Of course" Said Theodore
"Good I'll take two burgers with the works and chips please" Said Natasha
Theodore went into the kitchen and whipped up two burgers with chips and put it into two basic boxes. Then giving it to Natasha "That will be $45"
Natasha gave a hundred dollar bill and said "Keep the change, I think I might become a regular. Bye Rose and Theodore"
"Bye Aunty" Said Rose with her hand waving energetically
"Until next time Miss Rushmen" Said Theodore with a weird look as he was a little lost on why she started calling him by name.
Sorry super late I know, it's also shorter so once again sorry
The whole thing about her eating the best food is me just guessing from her identity being the best assassin and agent.
Also, she hasn't fallen for him its just admiration.
