A Whole Decade
Jennifer and Bryson arrived just after the meal was served.
When Bryson and Jennifer saw six dishes and a soup on the table, their eyes lit up with surprise.
“Smells good! I like it!” Jennifer exclaimed in delight.
After changing her shoes and washing her hands, Jennifer sat down at the table, closed her eyes,
and inhaled deeply. “I had a quarrel with my family and didn’t grab a bite. It turns out 10 be a
blessing in disguise!”
Nydia sat next to Jennifer and asked, “What did you fight about again?”
Gloria took off her apron and came over to see them sitting together,
She had to sit across from Jennifer.
Bryson walked over to Gloria and sat down beside her.
Jennifer picked up her fork and knife and answered impatiently, “An arranged marriage. I told them I
didn’t want it. But they said I was born in such a rich and powerful family, and it came with a price
Fuck them!! didn’t choose to be born or the situation I was born into, okay?” Jennifer was pissed
and started swearing Bryson looked at her. “You might as well not go back today. Just let them blow
off some steam’ Jennifer pursed her lips and raised her eyes to Bryson Id rather marry you. I’d say
yes and be free then.” Bryson’s smile froze, and then he continued, “My dad doesn’t arrange a
marriage for me. I’m free to choose my own way.” Jennifer snorled, “I know, I’m just kidding. You
already have a crush on someone.” Gloria was still silent. Nydia coughed. “Let’s stop talking about
all the bad stuff. I can’t wait to taste the food!”
Jennifer took a bite of food. “Me too. I rushed here for it.”.
Gloria smiled and opened a few beers. “You have to get a designated driver tonight.”
Jennifer took one beer and said, “No, I’m staying for the night. Take me in, Gloria. If you don’t,
Nydia, you let me stay.”
Nydia laughed, “You get stuck with us now.”
Jennifer gave her a cheeky grin. ‘You love me.”
“No, I don’t! Gloria will let you stay, not me.’ Nydia took a slug of beer and then took a bite of food.
“It’s delicious! Gloria, you let me know what a joy it is to have a life in this world! I can’t resist all the
delicious food!”
Gloria’s mouth twitched. “Eat your food.”
Bryson smiled, “Nydia’s right You’re the best cook.”
They all tried the food Gloria made and were fascinated by her cooking.
Jennifer took her first bite. A look of surprise crossed her face. “Mm, I haven’t eaten the food you
cook for a few years. You’ve become a better cook!”
‘That’s sure! Eat!” Nydia laughed
Gloria handed Bryson the beer. ‘I heard you’re looking for a race car driver?”
Bryson’s eyes flashed with surprise. “How do you know?”
Gloria smiled, “What do you think of me? Hire me. How much are you going to pay me?”
Jennifer’s hands froze on her fork and knife, but the next moment he burst out laughing. “Gloria,
come on, it’s not a beauty contest.”
No one in the room knew Jennifer had a crush on Bryson for ten years.
