Some one in need

He asks me if we can go to the market, and I here the money in my pocket, begging to buy some bread, and maybe some white wine for my father. "Nope," I say with a smile.

When we get there, the market is busting with people that just got out of work. I keep a hold of Cole, following him. As we pass the bakery, I say, "I need to go in here real quick." I walk inside the almost empty bakery. I select two large warm loaves of bread and walk to the counter.

I give her the money and she gives me my bread. I sigh, and start following Cole again.

He laughs, and says, "You make me sound like a stalker. Here, follow me." I follow him, and we come to a house that is a little smaller than mine, but still big. When we get inside, he throws the bag down, but then picks it up again, taking out the meat.

He starts cooking the meat, bu doesn't look at me. I tilt my head, and ask, "Is something wrong?"

The way he prepared the meal was something I had never seen. Apples? It really confused me, but I realized what he was making after he put the crisp apples in the pan with the sizzling meat.

After a little bit more cooking, he got some water and placed it gently on the table. It actually looked really sweet, I smile at the small dinner. It had reminded me of the small dinners we would have when I was little with my mother. I was thinking of my mother when Cole said, "Sorry about this meal. It must be nothing compared to what you get to eat." When, I look at him, he is staring at the ground.

"No, it isn't. It's so much more," I say slowly and loving. I look at him, with his dark hair halling over his emerald green eyes, and say, "I love it." I walk over to the table and sit down. I motion for him to do the same.

After Cole motions for Sapphire to sit down, she walks over to the small table and sits. Right after Cole sat down, he mumbles something and jumps back up. He walks over to a cabinet and tries to open it. I giggle as he tries a few times without sucess to open the jammed cabinet.

After a few more tries, he finally gets the door open. He takes out 2 forks and knives. Sapphire looks down to her napkin and realizes that there actually wasn't silverware. He puts the the silverware in front of her on the napkin. Sapphire's eyes follow up Cole's arm to his green eyes staring at her. Sapphire had never been served like this since her mother had died. She was the cook and waitor in her house.

He sits back down and starts to cut his meat, but ends up stuffing his face. Sapphire laughs out loud, and cuts off a piece of her own meat. She sticks in her mouth and gently chews it. After Cole gets about half way through his meat, he stops and says as though Sapphire was insulting him, "What? I'm a hungry guy!"

Sapphire laughs at the comment, and looks at Cole lovingly. When, their eyes meet, Sapphire seems to not be able to pull away. Everything seemse frozen, and she doesn't know what to do next. She waits for anything to happen, hoping Cole will say something, to make the moment less awkward.
