The sun shone bright, Shadow woke up to the sunlight hitting his eyes, he discovered a blanket over his body, pulling the material off his nose caught the sent of breakfast.
He smelled bacon and eggs with maple syrup on hot french toast. Following the sent he came into the kitchen.
On the table sat a nice spread, two plates on each end and in the middle was bacon, egg,s pancakes, french toast, each plate has two cups filled with milk and a picture of orange juice centered along with the meal.
Rouge closed the friged door and noticed Shadow presence, she was in pink sweat pants with a black tank top
" Morning sleepy head" she took her seat down at the table, Shadow look down at the spread then back at her, something wasn't right. sitting down he took his plate and filled it to his liking then took at bite.
What ever it was it was fantastic, the eggs were light a fluffy and not soggy, the bacon crisp but soft, The french toast was excellent and the pancakes were just right.
" You like it? Rouge asked.
" Yeah..." he took a sip of his milk " where in the world did you get this? He asked Rouge giggled, Shadow now knew she was hiding something.
"...Sorry hun but I made this" Shadow eyes widen as he choked on his eggs, coughing he took a sip of his drink. he glared down at the bat
"...Yeah right" he said " you can't cook,
"Oh really" Rouge gestured her eyes over to the sink, looking at the sink there were dirty pans soaking in hot water. Shadow turned back to her.
"...Alright who are you and what did you do with Rouge" he asked. The bat laughed
"Whats so funny?" he asked
" Oh Shadow...Did you think I don't know how to cook?" she asked.
"...Well...you did burn a simple box of Mac and Cheese..." he pointed out " and let the grill cheese burn into a black block of nothing"
"...True but I've never told any one I can cook" she poured herself a cup of orange juice.
" What do you mean by that?" he asked.
" In my family were have a reputation for being good chefs, infact my grandfather was one of the top Spagona chefs to live" she told him. He opened a resturant and his service was well know then he sold his buisness and it still popular to this day"
" So" Shadow spoke " where is this said restaurant?"
" Oh we were there last night, don't you remember" Rouge told him as she was checking her nails.
" Wait you mean...La Maison De Grenat?" he asked.
" yes...La Maison De Grenat translate out as ' the garnet house' whom my grandfather named after his wife, my grand mother Garnet" she continued " and since I'm the granddaughter I can dine there any time I want"
" You mean this whole time you..." Shadow wasn't one to like to be tricked
" Calm down" she told him " besides I only take those who I really like to that place, I wouldn't do that to any other person" Shadow leaned back in his chair, he wasn't sure what to think of this.
" My Mother Ruby took after my grandfather learned to be a profesinal chef herself, her Poulet alfredo spaghetti is her signature dish and not available in the restaurant"
Shadow looked at her " so why now are you choosing to cook like a pro?" he asked. Rouge got up from her seat and walked over to him, leaning in she gave him a little peck on the cheek
" Cause you earn it for putting up with me last night" she told him " and I prefer you kept my little talent a secret got it" she exited the kitchen Shadow looked down at his plate and took another bite, savoring the meal until Rouge's voice called to him
"And you can do the dishes when your done"
End
I had it all planed out that she would reveal to Shadow that she can cook and choose to pretend to be a bad one...you know don't assume every woman knows how to cook.
oh yeah "Poulet alfredo spaghetti " is basically " Chicken spaghetti Alfredo" in french
