Inheritance

Chapter 25- Fame and Fortune

"How did you learn to cook??"
"Oh. Well, I like to cook. It's one of my hobbies actually."
"Really?"
"Yup."
"Yeah but like.. How did you learn to balance flavours so well?? These eggs look simple but they taste GODLY."
I Smiled.
"Well, I've had a lot of practice. I've always had to cook for people so I thought 'why not get good at it?' And that's exactly what I did."
"Still tho... You could be a chef! Like, a FAMOUS chef! And everyone around the world would come to your restaurant to have EGGS."
I laughed and shoved her gently. We were sitting on the couch.
"Your over exaggerating, Blaise."
"No I'm not! I really mean it."
I smiled, the praise making me feel nice and warm inside.
"Well, either way, its not like I can become a famous world renowned chef when I have these kinds of powers. Besides, I prefer staying out of the spotlight."
"REALLY? YOU? Come on man you have been gifted the ability to make people freeze in fear. You can teleport. You can do LOADS of crazy stuff I can't. You are in the spotlight whether you like it or not."
I rubbed the back of my neck and looked down, forcing a weak smile.
"Yeah."
"Wait.. What's wrong?"
"I just- I just don't really like my powers."
"Hold up... Seriously? Why?"
"I mean their amazing. But their going to take me over one day. And then I might do things I regret and-."
She put a finger on my lip, shushing me.
"That's not going to happen while I'm here, babe. You can count on it."
I went beet red.
"Did you just call me...?"
"Yeah. Got a problem with it?"
I shook my head and smiled.
"Not at all."
