And I’mnotChef Ramsey.

I have no clue what the hell Cairo did, but the night he made dinner, my sisters haven’t stopped talking about it since.

Especially Mae and her bougie ass.

It’s like she’s too good to eat normal shit now. I don’t know what kind of meals they had when they stayed with the Blacks, but Mae’s palate has changed significantly.

And Cairo was a reminder of that.

“Girl, I have no idea how he made that.”

Mae flicks her blue eyes to me, clearly not impressed with my answer. “Can you find out?”

Can’t.

Cairo is on his romantic date with Vivian like the bitch deserves anything in this world that’s remotely good. It’s funny how you can be a raging cunt and still get nice things.

“You can text Luisa,” Levi suggests, reminding me of the way he eye-fucked her the day she dropped off the kittens. “I’m sure she could get you the recipe because that girl does not know how to cook.”

I immediately want to ask him how he knows that. I also never brought up how he also knew Carina, her older sister.

If I had, I would’ve looked suspicious, and I had my own things to work through when it came to Levi ever seriously dating down the road.

No one would be good enough for him. And I’m tired of dealing with females.

Thanks, Nessa.

“We don’t have the ingredients,” I deadpan, returning my focus to Ellie’s hair. “Besides, I have to make it.”

“Mae and I need to go to the store anyway?—”

“Noooo,” Mae whines. “We’re not buying a platypus.”

“We’re just gonna look,” Levi counters. “You do want it to look like one, right?”

Mae scowls, but continues to paint.

“I’ll text her real quick and ask,” I mumble. “But if it’s too hard, I’m not doing it.”

“Yay!” Mae says excitedly. “And I want garlic bread.”

Ellie cranes her head to look over at me. “Can we have some of those cookies, too?”

Mother of all hell.

“What do I look like?” I gripe out with narrowed eyes. “This isn’t Italy over here.”

Levi laughs again, and I pluck up my hair comb and chuck it at him. He allows it to hit him with ease and shakes his head. “C’mon, Astor. Learn something new.”

“How about you learn how to make a platypus out of clay, and we’ll both learn something new today.”

“Yeah, fuck that.” Levi tosses the ball of clay onto the table. “I’m done.”

“Levi,” Mae chides. “Youcan’tbe.”

“We need to go get groceries if you want Cairo’s noodles,” he pushes back. “And I’ll try again when we get back.”

Looks like I’m burning dinner tonight.
