Chapter 9 : Cooking

Charmel and her new friend walked to her house together, chatting and getting to know each other better.

"So, what's your name?" Charmel asked, realizing that she still didn't know his name.

"Oh, my name is Leo," he said, smiling. "What's yours?"

"I'm Charmel," she said, smiling back. "It's nice to meet you, Kai."

Leo looked at her, impressed "Charmel? That's a beautiful name," he said. "It suits you."

"by the way do you know how to cook?" Charmel ask

Leo looked at Charmel, surprised by her question "Cooking? Yeah, I know how to cook," he said. "Why?"

Charmel sighed "I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't know how to cook, and I need to learn," she said. "Can you teach me? Please?"

Leo nodded, smiling "Of course, I can teach you how to cook," he said. "It's not that hard, really."

And then all she cook end up burn

Leo looked at Charmel, trying to keep his expression serious "Charmel, I think you have a special talent for burning food," he teased.

Charmel looked down at the burnt pizza and sighed "I'm sorry, I'm not very good at this," she said.

Leo chuckled "It's okay, don't worry about it," he said, trying to comfort her. "Cooking takes practice. We can always try again later."

Charmel looked at him gratefully "Thanks for understanding," she said, feeling a little better.

Leo smiled at Charmel, trying to ease her worries.

"Don't worry, Charmel. We can always order takeout," he said. "We can continue practicing another time."

Charmel smiled back, grateful for Leo's kindness and understanding.

"Thanks for being patient with me," she said. "I really appreciate it."

Leo grinned "No problem, I'm here to help you improve your cooking skills," he said. "Just promise me you'll try harder next time, okay?"

Charmel nodded eagerly "I will," she promised.
