ROSIE POV

"Don't stir it like that. You are messing the whole place." I scolded Evans for the tenth time.

I should be the one cooking but he decided to do it instead while I instruct him on what to do. According to him it was better than watching it online. If only I knew, I would have allowed him keep on watching his online cooking classes. Teaching him how to cook was so exhausting. He just doesn't get anything right and it's beginning to frustrate the living hell out of me.

I looked at him as he tried to stir the flour and eggs together still messing everywhere with flour. It seems he can't control his hands when it comes to flour because he totally looked unkept. His face was white with flour also his shirt and trousers were also white also. One would think he bathed himself in flour.

It's true what they say, cooking is definitely not meant for everyone indeed. I don't see Evans as someone who can adjust to cooking even in the next five years. His case was terrible although he was trying his best but his best wasn't enough. He was causing me to have a headache.

Though there were times when I replace myself smiling as I watched him. He sure was giving me a hard time but he still entertains me with his curiosity and his appearance. He looked so focused although he was doing the wrong thing over and over again. I get it that he wants to learn but I was tired already.

"Alright that's enough for today Evans. Go and take a shower and also change your clothes. I will continue from here." I said as I have finally had enough of him messing up everywhere. I was the one who was going to arrange everywhere. "But...." he started.

"No buts. Please just do what I tell you." I said to him.

He nodded as he finally removed his hands from the bowl. He walked out of the kitchen leaving just me.

I quickly made the pancakes he has been trying to make but had failed. I washed all the plates after I was done cooking then I cleaned the whole kitchen. I looked around when I was done and let out a sigh of relief when I saw the place looking so clean and tidy once again.

I heard him walk in before I saw him. I sense his presence.

"Rosie why didn't you leave the kitchen for me to tidy it up myself? It was me who made all the mess in the kitchen, I should have cleaned it instead of you stressing yourself." he said making me to turn to look at him.

For a moment I just stared at him as I took in his appearance. He looked clean once again and all the flour was gone. His hair looked wet which shows that he also washed his hair. He was in a clean shirt and sweatpants looking hot as ever. I shaked my head.

'Now it's not the time to stare. I should answer his question.' I thought to myself.

"I didn't like seeing the kitchen so unkept. Also I could handle it myself you didn't need to do anything. Besides who knows maybe you suck at tidying too." I couldn't help but teased him.

"Excuse you Rosie but you got it all wrong. I sure can tidy well. I don't need you to teach me that because I know all there is to that." be replied me raising his head high up.

"Whatever you say Evans. Now can we eat because I'm so hungry. Teaching you how to cook is so exhausting." I said to him.

"I will prove to you that I am a fast learner. You won't be exhausted the next time." he said.

"And who said there will be a next time? Hell no will I put up with you again. I can't imagine what will happen next." I quickly objected.

"You are so mean." he said glaring at me as he carried some plates and left the kitchen. I smiled as I carried the pancakes.

We finished eating and he suggested we go out for a walk. At first I didn't want to go but he begged. Sun also begged for him also. She wanted to feel some air and if possible shift also. But I didn't know if I wanted to shift with Evans next to me. I promised to shift when we are alone which she reluctantly agreed.

Evans and I began to walk slowly inside the forest. Everywhere was calm and quiet except for the sounds of birds. It was so calming walking out.

"Are you enjoying the walk? If you are tired we can go back." Evans said.

"No this is nice. It's so relaxing." I said to him.

"It's good you like it but let's walk small and go back. It's getting late." he warned.

We walked back to the cottage. I was so exhausted so I decided to go and sleep early. Evans showed me my room. This time we didn't need to sleep together since his parents were not around. Although I don't know why I didn't really like the idea of sleeping in another room but I didn't say anything about it.

The moment my head hit the bed, I felt a large wave of sleep fall on me. I closed my eyes and slept.

I opened my eyes to see myself inside a moving car.

'Please not again.' I thought as I began to shake in fear. My dreams want to start coming back.

I fought to get out from the car as I always do but just like every dream it was fruitless. I couldn't get out. I was stuck in my painful past that can't let go of me. No one was going to save me. I'm going to watch my parents death once again and the truma is sure going to hit me again. I was alone in this web. I have always been alone after all.

I couldn't stop the tears from falling as I watched helplessly the car driving straight to where the accident would soon occur.

I was slowing shutting my eyes to avoid seeing it when I heard someone voice.

"Hey Rosie I gat you. You need to wake up. It's only a nightmare. You will be fine. I'm here now so please wake up."

Evans. I was more than happy to hear his voice. I opened my eyes and this time I wasn't in a car. I was looking at the celling instead. I sat up and turned to see Evans looking at me with worry on his face.

I couldn't take my eyes off him. He saved me from watching my parents accident happen again in my dreams. He looked at me also with worry on his face. He was here for me and he was worried for me.

I couldn't stop myself from crying. I cried and cried. I felt hands wrapped around me pulling me into his chest. I felt so warm being so close to him. His hands played with my hair as he smooth it slowly. "It's alright Rosie. Your safe stop crying."

He said calmly.

His voice calmed me down and stopped the tears from falling again. He stayed with me and didn't leave.

When he was sure I had stopped crying he stood up. I quickly held his hand stopping him from leaving. He turned to look at me.

"What's wrong Rosie?" he asked.

"Will it be too much if I ask you to sleep with me here?" I slowly asked him.

I didn't know where I got the nerve to ask him that but I honestly didn't want to be alone right now.

I looked at him and waited for his response.

"I will stay here with you then. I also wasn't comfortable with the idea of leaving you here alone." he answered as he laid on the bed besides me.

I thought he will give us some space but then his hands fell on my waist and he draw me very close to him making me to feel him.

"What are you doing Evans?" I asked him.

"I'm trying to protect you from your dreams." he replied.

I smiled and didn't say a word to him.

"But I will like to ask what exactly happened in your dreams. It seems like you were having a really bad dream. What was the dream about?" he asked me.

I wasn't sure if I should answer or not. But then I couldn't just keep my mouth shut so I told him.

"It was a memory of my parents accident. I saw myself in the car. I looked for help but no one saved me. I had to watch the accident and death of my parents over and over again. It really isn't a good sight." I shut my eyes as I was trying to clear the image in my hair. I felt something warm on my forehead making me open my eyes slowly. Evans just placed a kiss on my forehead just when I didn't expect it.

"Don't Rosie, I don't know how but we will definitely replace a way for you to stop having such dreams. I can tell it's taking lot from you and I don't like seeing you like this so I will definitely replace a way." he said looking so determined that I could tell he was saying the truth.

"Evans you don't have to do that. I can replace a way myself." I said to him.

"No Rosie we will replace it together. I can't let you do it on your own. Just look at it as a way of trying to win your heart." he replied smiling.

I smiled back at him as I lowered my eyes to look at his chest.

"Enough of that already. I need sleep and so do you so sleep already. Don't worry I'm here by your side to send away any bad nightmare from you so just relax your mind and sleep. I'm very sure your dream won't come back again."

I closed my eyes as I waited for sleep to come and. He kept playing with my hair making sparks to run on it. His touch was enough for me to slowly drift into deep slumber.

Just as he said, I didn't have any bad nightmare because he was beside me to protect me.
