Lucky Silvia

Downstairs.

When Silvia came down, her parents, Steve, Kevin's parents, Ron, Janet and Rocky were happily talking and chatting amongst themselves.

" Ahh Sil you are here." Janet said before rushing towards her.

" Oh God you look lovely." Ron said.

After greeting everyone, Silvia said," I'll go help Kevin in the kitchen."

Rocky chuckled and said," Already missing him?"

" Maybe she will miss him more after tonight." Ron said.

Silvia could feel her cheeks burn. Without saying anything, she quietly made her way to the kitchen where Kevin was busy decorating the cake.

" Wow this looks lovely." Silvia said.

" Hmm I am glad you liked it." Kevin said.

Silvia smiled and said," While you are doing this, let me take the starters outside."

Kevin nodded his head and said," Yeah just take these out and have fun with them. I'll manage everything here."

Silvia shook her head and said," It's fine and moreover you won't be able to manage everything. You'll need my help."

" Everything is done. I just have to reheat the main course. Oh you can do one thing, you can take out the wine and whiskey bottles from the bottom shelf." Kevin said.

" Which bottom shelf?" Silvia asked.

" In the dining area." Kevin said.

" Oh okay. Umm Kevin you have chocolate on your cheek." Silvia said.

Touching his left cheek, Kevin asked," Where?"

Silvia chuckled and said," Now you have chocolate on your other cheek too. Wait a second let me help you with this." before taking a tissue paper and helping him wipe the chocolate from his handsome face.

" I think they are getting along quite well." Uncle Herpi said.

Uncle Thomas breathed a sigh of relief and said," Yes."

" I feel like they are going to make a wonderful couple Thomas." Uncle Herpi said.

" My Silvia is going to be a wonderful wife. Your son is very lucky to have her." Uncle Thomas said proudly.

Uncle Herpi nodded his head and said," Yes I know."

….

" Ummm this is so delicious." Janet said before placing a lamb chop inside her mouth.

" I can literally feel the meat melting inside my mouth." Ron said.

Silvia chuckled and said," Kevin made all of this."

Janet widened her eyes in shock and asked," Are you serious?"

Silvia smiled and nodded her head," If you taste his steak and baked fish, you are seriously going to go crazy."

Just then Rocky and Chris butted in and asked," What are you guys talking about?"

Startled by the sudden intrusion, Silvia gasped and said," You both scared me."

Chris chuckled and said," It's nice to meet you again sister-in-law."

Silvia smiled and nodded her head. The last time when Silvia had seen Chris, he was neatly dressed in a dark brown suit but today he was wearing a casual jeans and t-shirt which made him look quite young and refreshing.

" We were talking about how lucky Sil is." Janet said.

Picking up some fires, Rocky asked," Why lucky?"

" Kevin knows how to cook." Janet said.

" So?" Rocky and Chris said in unison.

Janet sighed and said," A woman can consider herself lucky if she finds herself a husband who can cook. Not only does Kevin know how to cook but he is a pro at it." 

Chris helplessly shook his head and said," What is with these women and their obsession for men who have cooking skills? I mean it isn't that necessary. You can always order something from somewhere."

" Exactly. A man who doesn't know how to cook isn't less charming than a man who knows how to cook. This is just a, you know a myth or a trend that you women have started." Rocky said.

Opening a bottle of wine bottle, Silvia asked," So do you both know how to cook?"

Rocky and Chrish shook their heads and said," No we don't."

" Oh that's great then I'll go get glasses for you people." Silvia said before walking towards the kitchen.

After Silvia left, Rocky asked," So nurse Janet you tell us, are we less charming or less charismatic than Kevin?"

" Ah what are you guys talking about? Are you guys comparing yourself to Kevin? Ah how can you all do that? You-"

" See I had told you that we aren't less charming than Kevin and-" 

Cutting Chris off, Janet said," Wait let me complete first. I was saying that it's an insult for Kevin if he is compared with you both."

Chris and Rocky narrowed their eyes and said," You-"

Before they could say anything, Janet rushed towards the kitchen.

….

Kitchen.

" Ahem Ahem." Janet awkwardly cleared her throat when she saw something that she wasn't expecting to see.
