“ Mom, can’t we just stay home and discuss?” Landon asked, feeling tired from within. He wasn’t in the mood to go anywhere, especially not with the new girl. “Okay. You can stay home then, I can’t force you to do what you don’t want to do.” Sara responded and Landon nodded.
Abigail felt a little hurt because Landon made it so obvious he didn’t want to go out with her. But she didn’t care either, they could do their stuff at home. Landon finished the plate of pasta in front of him and noticed he wasn’t full yet. He didn’t want to ask for more because he knew Kimberly would boast about being right.
.
He looked at the pot and saw there was still pasta but nobody seemed interested in it. He prayed inwardly that no one ends up taking more, so he would eat it in his room after their meal. Kim was done eating, so she stood up to pack up the dishes. Sara and Abigail were also done, so she helped them pack off their plates.
She picked up Landon's own and carried the four plates to the kitchen first.
“ What if she ends up pouring all away? What would I eat? ” Landon thought Kim walked out of the kitchen, she wanted to carry the remaining dishes. Landon quickly reached for the pot and carried it before Kim could get to them. “ What’s wrong? ” His mother asked, looking at him.
“Nothing. I just want to help, since I am tired of sitting down.” He said with the pot in his hand. He walked to the kitchen and placed the pot on the cabinet. He peeped out to see Kim busy with the other stuff and she wasn’t even looking.
“This is your time, Landon.” He thought. Immediately, he carried the pot again and sneaked out of the kitchen. He rushed up the stairs silently with the pot in his hand. Kim carried the rest of the stuff and as soon as she looked up, she saw Landon's back, he was headed to his room.
The way he walked looked suspicious, but she ignored him and walked into the kitchen to do the dishes. Landon got to his room and placed the pot on the table when he remembered he didn’t take a fork with him. He shut his eyes tight and sighed moving out of his room again. He headed for the kitchen, and when he got in, he kept a straight face and reached for a fork.
“ Where is the pot of pasta? ” Kim asked before he could walk out of the kitchen. “And why are you asking me that?” He asked, looking at her. “ You carried it in. But I can’t find it here.” Kim said, starting to suspect what had happened. “If you can’t find it, then let me be. I am too tired to start discussing nonsense with you.” He said walking away and Kim scoffed.
“ He took it to his room to finish it. Why doesn’t he want to admit that I was right about the quantity of food Abigail gave him? ”
Landon got to his room and shut his door from behind. He rushed to the pot of pasta and dug in without hesitation.

Kim was done doing the dishes and she stepped out of the kitchen. She was tired and wanted to take a nap. She walked out of the kitchen and met Sara and Abigail discussing. “Hey, can I have a cup of Juice please?” Abigail asked immediately Kim stepped out of the kitchen.
“ Sure, ” Kim replied, trying to be very polite. Sara smiled at her as she walked into the kitchen again to pour Abigail some drink.
After pouring the juice in the cap, she headed to the dining table again and stretched the cup to Abigail. “Here,” Kim stated and Abigail nodded while collecting it.
“ Ma’am, I hope you enjoyed the food, ” Kim said and Sara nodded happily. “ It was amazing Kim. I must say you are a good cook, which is why my son offered to carry the pot of pasta. ” She said and Kim smiled. “ I haven’t found the pot. ” She mumbled to Sara's hearing. “He must have placed it somewhere. It’s no big deal, you can forget about it. There are lots of pots around here. Pick any.” Sara replied in a low tone and Kim smiled faintly nodding.
“ Okay Ma'am, Thank you. What else do I need to do before I go to rest my head? ” She asked and Sara shook her head. “There is nothing for now. You have tried your best, you are free to rest now.” Sara started and Kim smiled. “ Thank you, Ma'am. You are so nice. ” She said, and Abigail raised her head to look at both of them.
“Why do I feel Sara likes this lady more than she likes me?” Abigail asked within herself. Kim walked away and Sara stared at her till she was out of sight. “You must love this girl.” Abigail teased and Sara nodded, grinning. “Yes. I love her, she is an amazing person.” Sara commended.
“Yea,” Abigail replied, nodding. “Why don’t you go to Landon's room to see what he is doing? He has been gone for a very long time.” Sara suggested and Abigail nodded loving the idea. Finally, she was going to see the great Landon's bedroom. It was a great privilege.
“I will. Thank you.” She said happily standing up and approaching the stairs. Sara smirked looking at her. “I love how things are going.” She mumbled to herself. Abigail got up the stairs and to her surprise, she met Kim in front of a door that she suspected to be Landon's.
“What are you doing here?” She asked Kim. “I should be asking you that question,” Kim replied with a smirk on her face. “I am here to see him of course. What else will I be here for?” She said, shrugging her shoulders and folding her arms.
“Well, I am sorry to disappoint you, Landon is sleeping and when he rests, he hates disturbance. You should know this right.” Kim said, approaching her. “You called him by his name, how dare you? You are just a maid.” Abigail said in disgust, and Kim laughed.
“I may just be a maid, but trust me he prefers me to you. So be polite to go away, I am a bi*ch when it comes to putting people in their places.” Kim said with a wicked grin, making Abigail walk away in fear and anger.
