Chapter seven

The following the both of them woke up feeling wel rested and they both were smiling like idiots

Standing in her kitchen she waited for Henry who was a little bit late. There was a knock on the door, that's weird she thought but immediately was reassured by a bark she recognised. Opening the door she was welcomed by Kal. and Henry and he was dressed like a movie star black suit pants, brown v neck sweater and a nice watch. Goodmorning beautiful, she said as Kal gave her kisses .

Goodmorning Jenn. morning Cavill as Jenna stood up. I like this as she touched his watch, it looks good on you she said getting a smile from Henry.

You look beautiful as he looks at Jenna. light blue ripped fitted jeans, nude heels, simple white shirt and a checkered blazer. hair loose and minimal makeup. Just the way he liked it. Thank you. It's weird but we kinda match, she laughed. Come let me grab my things.

Do you want me to drive for a change? no it's fine Jenn. How did you sleep.. like a baby he laughed. Is Kall coming? no but Gina is staying in town for a few days and I need to drop him off. ? - Gina? yes my ex we both got Kal together but he lives with me and when she is over here she always wants to spend as much as time with him. - Like dog custody? - He laughed. Yes, just like dog custody. That's awesome. Okay we are here, do you want to come or wait here. Nooo I'll wait here, go I'll be fine. She watched as Henry walked up to a house and knocked at the door. Kall looked very excited. A beautiful brunette opeed the door and Henry and her hugged. it all seemed friendly

Getting back in the car. Alright ready? - Ready.. Arriving at the store Henry parked and stayed inside of the car - Something wrong? Jenna asked. no but .. I hate this.. - what Henry- We out in public and it is best if we don't hold hands or touch if you wanna stay anonymous. - Henry I don't care what people think but I do care how they feel and think about you. You've been in the spotlight for years, you know best. So I'll do whatever you think is best or want - What is best or what I want is totally opposite from each other. he said, surprising Jenna.

Entering the store Jenna was surrounded by all kinds of hardware and computers. Playing games was different than actually knowing this kind of stuff but she felt Henry behind her.

Right so 6 computers you said - yes there for each floor. how many kids. about 7. from 4 to 15. - they need to be fast for school work and i guess they want to play games. Do they have consoles? no they don't. Do you want laptops or computers? - I don't know, what is best? - I think computers can do more, if something breaks you can replace it easily and not take it back to their rooms. - Point taken.

What's the budget? he asked. somewhat but like I said. I don't mind helping.

After some minutes Henry pulled Jenna in front of a set up. okay I think would be best, good brand loads of memory and it can take much. all with a monitor, keyboards and mouse. so totally for one set up it will be coming at 487 pounds that's about 620 dollars each. That's not bad is it? no it's not.

Can I help you? the man from the store asked. Actually, yes. I work for the foster home and houses on Cornwall Street and we desperately need some upgrades for the kids and I'm looking for six computers in total. Do you have this set up in stock or do I need to order them? I'll check mam. So I looked around and saw Henry standing in front of computer games.

Henry turned and watched Jenna talking to the clerk of the store with some forms. Quickly he made his way back to her and stood next to her, against her looking over her shoulder while he looked at the ordering papers in front of him. It was roughly about 3700 pounds for the total set up. his own computer cost more.

Thank you. Jenna said. I'll call when you can order them, she said. not a problem mam as he walked away. Can I? as he held his out for the papers. it's a good deal, let's make it a better one. Shall I use my cavill charm for this he asked . - You Cavill charm? - Yes he smirked. - Be my guest .

Henry walked towards the desk . Excuse me. My friend had a quotation for six computers. Can we make a deal? What do you mean? Wel she works for a non profit organization and it's coming straight out of their budget can we do something about the price. The clerk laughed and looked over Henry's shoulders and watched a very animated Jenna making Henry watch her too. 

She told me you would do this but she made a good deal. I don't know how but she cornered me and my manager to give them for free. with service plans and all. Did she, as he smiled proudly at Jenna. Well can you put 10 tablets for the kids? screensavers and cases please and put it on this and it's a surprise. Can you make sure they get delivered at the same time? I will.

And did your Cavill charm get you a better deal she asked with her eyes pinched and biting her lower lip - Oh. shut it! making Jenna giggle. What is next? as they walked back out. I need a dress for a fundraiser and a dress for Spain. Do you have a suit? - I do mossgreen and a white shirt. Why do you ask? no reason, just wanted to know so we don't look like idiots together.

I'm getting kind of hungry, you? a bit. Do you want to eat some or wait for dinner? What shall we do for dinner tonight? How about something light like coffee and a muffin and some grilling tonight. I would like that.

They walked past a very old looking toy store and it made Jenna stop. This looks beautiful. Can we go in? he just nodded. It was something straight out of harry potter hand crafted toys and boardgames everywhere. I wanna live here, she said as she picked up a doll. Should I get some toys or games for the kids? She looked at henry. Do they have games at their houses? some but they are not complete i think.

Screw it, I'm doing it. What board games should we get? - Depends what kind of age they are. Do you like board games? I do.. We should definitely get Rummikub, monopoly and codenames. some memory and who is it for the smaller ones. Do you have any ideas? He was holding up a party and co and superhero trivia. Really Cavill, she laughed.

You two seem like planning a great weekend, an old man said as he stopped before Jenna and Henry. Yes sir, we are just shopping for some board games for my nieces and nephews Jenna said. What ages? From 4 to 15 she smiled. Excuse me sir, is that kitchen set for sale? yes it is. great. Jenna almost bought the entire store board games. dress up clothes, a toy chest and some dolls for the girls. her plan of making the foster home more like a home was all coming together. Next steps were painting the place and new beds.

Should we get some candy for the dehydrated guy series tonight she laughed. No, I think I got it covered. Really and who would you know? I know what you love. - Tell me What do I love, Cavill? As he stopped walking. He stepped closer to her and whispered in her ear, you've been dropping hints now and then as he kissed her cheek and walked back to his car.

When they arrived at Henry's it felt relaxed, the sun was shining so Henry opened his big glass doors. So let's see what we have as he opens the fridge. We have fresh salmon and chicken thighs, all kinds of vegetables and loads of yogurt and a brisket. What should we eat as he looked into his fridge? taking off her blazer she walked towards him and looked into the fridge. Do you have flower and some yeast? he frowned. I don't know, let me check as he opened a door next to the fridge revealing a big ass pantry. Holy shit! This is amazing as she stepped in and smiled really big. It's just a pantry? - just a pantry. OMG it's even color coordinated and labeled. this is like porn for women you do know that right. - So whilst courting a woman I just need to show my pantry he winked. hahahah making them laugh. Yes, definitely show the pantry Cavil but I see yeast and flower. We can make chicken tikka masala. I can make naan and butter rice if you would like. - That sounds perfect. What do you need he said. Flower and yeast, loads of yogurt, garlic and coriander do you have that? Yes, I do.

So what can I do? I know how to cook but chicken marsala on the BBQ is something different. Where are your herbs and spices? - here as he walked towards her and pulled out a drawer filled with every spice again labeled and all. OMG... Pantry moment? - yes, you should pull it out more - I beg your pardon he laughed. Oh now iew not like that cavill she hit him on his arm.. I didn't mean it like that, she laughed. But seriously this is impressive. Taking out everything she needed she showed Henry the herbs he needed to marinade the chicken thighs. If you marinate them in yogurt, it won't burn as much. Really i never knew that. Do you have a large mixing bowl? yesss as he stepped back into the pantry. Jenn? - yess? porcelain or a steel one. - Porcelain please. She put her hair up, washed her hands and took off her rings and other jewelry. Where can I put this? oh give me that he said. as he took her jewelry and put it away.

He watched her carefully as she prepared the dough. you could tell she knew what she was doing. and within a couple of minutes she was kneading the dough with garlic and coriander in it. Okay that had to rise for about an hour. We can make the rice later on when the chicken is almost done. Let me clean up and I will start the bbq. no you start the bbq and let me clean up. no way you are in my house. - It's a bit late for that, don't you think? I practically made us dinner, she smiled. fine as he went outside. He fired off his egg and looked inside.

Jenna was cleaning the kitchen and moved as in she knew the place but it was her first time in the kitchen. Bare foot and comfortable wassing up and cleaning everything. It was a picture he loved seeing.. focusing back on the bbq he got everything started. Henry? Can I have a beer? yes of course as he walked in . you can take anything as he grabbed her a beer. Join me? I will as he opened both beers. cheers as they. So what is next? The chicken takes the longest, the bread and rice don't take long. Where do you want to eat? she asked as her phone rang.

Hi mom, Hi Dad, hey kid. How is it going? I'm doing well. I'm with Henry, I'm teaching him how to cook. - Excuse me, I know how to cook. It's just I never made chicken tikka masala on a BBQ before. YOUR MAKING CHICKEN BBQ MASALA!!! you traitor! you only make that for me and grandpa, her Dad said.

Well yeah get over it, you know I only make that for the special men in my life, she said without thinking and noticing. Henry's heart flustered at that comment. So deal with it. she joked. I'm not forgetting this pequena rosa ( little rose). So, how is work? Jenna asked. It's fine my tesoro, slow but the same. I wanted to ask since Christmas is coming up. I know we agreed to spend it together but your father and I are asked to go on a cruise with everyone else. We wanted to talk to you first. Henry noticed Jenna's eyes changed. She was sad. No, absolutely not, I will be fine. Go please. Are you sure sweety? yes mom i will be fine go enjoy your old days. HEY I AM NOT OLD your mom however David said making all of them laugh as he got slapped on his arm.

So are you sure about spending Christmas away from each other? we will meet up after christmas Jenna said - and new years her Dad quickly said stating the obvious she would be alone on new year eve too. Henry felt his heart conflicted because his film schedule was starting in december. So he knew she would be alone and he did like that at all.

Do you want us there or are you coming here? I don't know, I really haven't thought about it. I would love it if you would come here and see my life here and the people in it. What people? We only know about Henry. Where is he anyways? her dad said. I'm here sir, i didn't want to interrupt as he stepped into frame next to Jenna. Her mom has that smile again. How are you mister and misses Scott. We are doing good Amigo. And you? perfect.. - no big movies to film? MOM DAD! - no i take long and big breaks between filming it keeps me grounded he said. So when do you start again her dad asked. He looked down and then back up at them. Halfway December sir. He saw Jenna's head turn towards him and he couldn't bear to watch the look she had on her face.

Her mom noticed this too, Jenna are you sure?. Yes mom I'm sure. I will figure something out. Besides, the kids at work have to deal with this every year. Maybe I'll start a tradition at the house. Dad? Can I ask something? can you send some of the herbs over you used for your brisket, it's impossible to get them here. Really, need something else? just normal stuff she said. And please don't forget Rosalie please. Shit no rosalie either? - no .. - I will sweety - Henry take care of her. I will sir. bye guys. bye sweety

Are you okay? he asked. He was still standing next to her. She tried to hide it behind a smile but he saw through it. I need another beer ... coming right up . Do you have skewers who can go to the bbq. I'll grab them. so put the chicken on the skewers and put it in the bbq. I'll make the naan. Henry put the chicken skewers in the bbq egg and went back inside. Can I help? Of course take about 80 grams of dough and roll it out in an oval shape about this thick, and that's it. Do you have a clean kitchen cloth? yess i do as he looked for a cloth. great. We will need that later.

Now for the rice you take some heavy butter and oil and vermicelli and brown it.. then add the rice with some salt, sugar and lemon juice and water.. stir it really well and put the lit in it and leave it alone for about 20 minutes. so for the dipping sauce. take some yogurt, add a bit of water and lemon juice and add some mint and coriander. here try it as she holds out the spoon. That is delicious he said as she finished the rest of what was on the spoon. making him grin. so for a dip, we have naan, rice and chicken. Do we need anything else? I think we are good Jenn.

Where do you want to eat? - couch? like paëlla night? - just as paëlla night. Henry just finished setting his coffee table as Jenna held the kitchen cloth and naan dough. Come on, let's check on the chicken. Henry let her outside, taking out one of the skewers. She carefully checked the really delicious looking skewers. Perfect she said as Henry was just tasting a piece of chicken with his head back and eyes closed. This is... perfect. Here, watch this she took the four pieces of naan and stuck them in the dome of the egg bbq. carefully closing the lid and opening it after 3 to 5 minutes she opened it and the naan was perfectly baked.

You are full of surprises he said as he helped her with the naan. Take the skewers out and give me half of the meat she said as she took another pan and started off the masala sauce. and after 5 minutes they were sitting in front of his coffee table almost against another. this looks really good thank you he said. your welcome come on let's dig in i'm hungry. She grabbed his plate and put some rice, meat and chicken masala with the yogurt dip. now take some naan and eat it like this. She took some naan dipped in the yogurt sauce, grabbed some masala chicken and dipped it in rice. Here she held it in front of henry. try it... He carefully opened his mouth and was instantly falling in love with this food. dear god.. this is beyond amazing, holy shit. as he started eating.

She watched him, digging into his food. Henry? yes. wanna press start she smiled at him. Now I'm sorry he chuckled.

Henry watched Jenna as she focused on the screen. immediately she said. NO! Are you gonna eat bambie? making Henry burst out laughing.. just watch Jenna.. he wasn't looking at the screen at all but just jenna. She watched as some monster jumped out of the water with a raised eyebrow as Henry or Geralt. Jenna Watched as Henry came to life on the screen before her, with dark eyes and white hair.

It is what it is... You are not gonna kill... She looked at Henry smiling widely at you. I can't believe you killed Bambi...as her eyes went back to the screen. She even stopped eating because she was watching intently. Jenn.. Jenna - Yeah, your food is getting cold. Oh sorry. as they started to eat again.

She watched as Henry's first real big fight scene came on.. OMG they used his shock magic! That is awesome and he was proud of her noticing this. I take back my words by the way? - you words?- yes.. you look really really hot and that voice, she laughed. - Aha! you think I do look hot and sexy.. - I never said sexy Henry, i Just called you hot and didn't act like you don't know that you are. She looked him dead in the eye.

The credits rolled and the first episode was done. So what did you think? he asked. She leaned back. I liked it, it's different and raw. Can we watch the other episodes? How many do you have? - the whole season, he said. She squealed from excitement yes! Come on, let's clean up and install the couch. Install the couch, yes. as he grabbed everything and put it away in the dishwasher.

He came back with drinks and candy and cookies. and set it on the couch. grabbing his coffee table he put it on the side. and he pulled out the footends making his sofa into one big bed. He grinned, feeling smug about himself. Henry, can I borrow a shirt? I'm a bit cold? she asked. yeah sure of course. Do you want something more comfortable? actually that would be great. he came back with some sweatpants who wear way too big for her but she didn't care

They were sitting on the pull out couch as Henry came back with some water. thank you.. Isn't it weird seeing yourself on the screen? Yes it is . How was filming this? I actually fought to get this part. I really wanted to play Geralt. I am a big fan of games and books. plus I am a big nerd, he laughed. Ready? yes ready...the second episode started and Jenna really was drawn into the series.

It's .. It's kind of scary that I don't see the friendly face beside me on the screen. but that is a compliment I think? - It is, he said as he popped some candy in his mouth. And watched Jenna shiver. Still cold? She nodded as he got up and grabbed a plaid
