In Front Of My Salad Novels & Stories

“What did you decide, hun?” My smile was a bit wider this time. “I’ll have the dinner salad.” She reached in front of me and opened the menu. “That’s nothing but a few pieces of lettuce, a single cherry tomato, and two slices of cucumber. Try the chef salad and I’ll have Dusty throw a little extra on it for you.” Of course my stomach picked this exact moment to gurgle, so how could I argue. “Umm, okay, with vinegar and oil please.” Exercise and I didn’t mix, so I had to settle for walking at a fast pace when I could and constantly watching calories.

He gazes back at me with wide, innocent eyes. “Yes, you can.” Shaking my head since I should’ve expected that from an alpha, I point at a high stool on the other side of the kitchen island. “Sit. We can have the salad while I put the pasta on to boil.” Jackson sits. “And if I don’t like salad?” I pull the bowl of salad from the refrigerator I made earlier with pieces of chargrilled chicken, bacon, parmesan, and a lemon and garlic vinaigrette. “I didn’t ask you if you liked it.”

I drizzled some olive oil and balsamic vinegar on top, then gave it a quick mix. I then plated the salad and brought it over to her. She looked up at me, her eyes still swollen from crying. I gave her a small smile and sat down next to her. "Here, try this," I said softly, pushing the plate towards her and handing her a fork. "It's just a light salad, but it should be enough to hold you over until you feel better." May looked at the plate before accepting the fork. She dragged the plate even closer so she could smell the food. “This does not look like a light salad,” She spoke, her voice hoarse.

She says the last part and gives a slight frown. "I don't understand how being mated to him would put me in danger," I say, but I am cut off as the servers start to set our plates down in front of us. The plate has a spring salad with berries in it. My stomach growls again. I really hope they are going to feed us something more filling than this salad. Tasha starts to laugh. "Don't worry, this is just the starter," she tells me. I guess I did not hide that I needed something more very well.

Even though he knew the purpose of Anne's steps towards the kitchen, he couldn't stop himself from undressing her with his neutral gaze. "Golden melon, papaya, grapes, apple, Sunkist, chopped lettuce and corn. Since I have some leftover chickpeas and carrots in the fridge, I threw them in." Anne smiled broadly as she served her salad on the glass-topped table. "Do you want to eat now or should I make coffee first?"

I say as I finish the pizza slice and jump off the counter before I walk up beside him to see what he's searching for, but I get distracted when I see a giant salad from my favorite restaurant causing my eyes to go wide in awe. Easton's laughter breaks me from my trace causing me to blush in embarrassment that I got caught. "You can have it if you want" he says as he pulls out some ingredients to make pasta of some sort. I grab the salad and close the fridge before sitting back onto the counter to eat "You do realize that people eat there?" He asks as he cuts up a tomato causing me to shrug as I mix the salad up "Maybe I'm the the meal" I say jokingly with a smirk before he clears his throat

She hit her knuckles on my forehead. "Ouch! It hurts. Don't make me knock on you." I stared at her and rubbed my fingers over it. "Sorry, but you need to wake up." She smiled and began to eat the salad. I grabbed my spoon and filled it in half. I tasted sprouts with chopped onion and tomato, coriander, lemon, salt, and black pepper. "It's delicious," I smiled as I chewed. "Mom's recipe." She smiled. "Club tonight? " She suggested.

Our chatter continued, filled with giggles and light-hearted teasing, until Sophia chimed in from the background, announcing that she and Ariella were planning to head out for groceries. As I moved to prepare lunch, I couldn’t help but mention the beautiful weather. “It’s such a great day outside,” I said, slicing vegetables for a salad while Noah ambushed me with kisses, stealing my focus. “You need to stop,” I said, trying to maintain my concentration on cutting the cabbage. “I have to concentrate!” Once I finished cutting everything, I mixed the salad with mayonnaise, waiting for the fried rice to cook. Just then, Noah approached, and I nearly jumped, startled by his sudden presence.

No one really paid much attention as they were talking about different fighting techniques. Standing up, I walked to the refrigerator and pulled out a head of lettuce, chicken that was for the caesar salad and different toppings. Cutting up the lettuce and I placed them in two bowls. Next, I added the chicken, croutons, and some ranch dressing. Finishing it off with some cheese, I carried them back to the table. I got a few looks but no one really said anything as I placed one bowl in front of Scarlet and I took the other one. By making two, my hope was that people didn’t question it. “We will ask the doctor about food at the appointment.” I mind-linked Scarlet.

I keep looking to see what she's doing, I watch her fiddle with the pans, then she goes to the fridge, takes out a bunch of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, yellow and red peppers and a jar of sun-dried tomatoes, carrots and heart of palm, puts it all in on the counter and starts to wash, when she's finished, she takes a platter and starts to cut, but she doesn't neglect the pans, I see that she turns off the heat, seasons the salad and when she turns around, she sees me, I realize that she's scared and her speech confirms my suspicious. — You scared me, I didn't think you were there.
