Chapter Five - Wife's finest

"Make sure to knead real good so it won't come out all flat and tough," Victoria says quietly, as her hands guide mine into correctly kneading the dough from behind me.

It's oddly sensual. Having Victoria pressed against me from behind. Her hands over mine as she guides me. It's actually quite relaxing as well.

Ever since the three of us started making dinner, the couple has been nothing but incredibly nice and welcoming to me. A way to wheel me in possibly. I can't lie and say I'm not having fun just talking to them and hearing the two fret at eachother then make up. It's cute actually.

Yeah, I'm having fun and all but I can't let this little bit of fun depict my decision, which happens to involve my future. My whole life. Even though I do have a solid decision down, I know that it can always change.

I feel the warmth of Victoria disappear but it soon follows with her smooth voice, "Good now we can spread it out and add the sauce you made and the cheese of your choosing then add whatever you like."

Whew, Noah definitely wasn't lying about making this from scratch. I look over to my right to see him consumed in making his pizza just right. Apparently the tradition is very serious to them.

Soon a noise comes from the oven signaling that the pizza Victoria was previously preparing is now finished. The sound causes her to quickly shuffle over to the oven and open it, which lets out a stronger oven baked pizza smell.

"Mm, I don't think I'm ever going to get over how fucking good that smells." Noah finally speaks up after about a silent fifteen minutes of focusing on his pizza making. I notice the way his eyes gleam just looking at her take the pizza out of the oven. I guess that's the look of love.

"Oh, please, you overreact Noah." She giggles placing the pizza on top of the stove to cool.

"Well it does smell really amazing." I cut in looking back at Victoria with a smile on my face. The pizza does indeed smell good, and for some reason I have a feeling mine will be nowhere near anything like hers with all those toppings and her incredible tomato sauce. Mine on the other hand, will just be a basic sausage pizza with no special kick to it.

Victoria giggles, "It's taken me twelve good years to actually get them good enough."

"You can never just take a compliment, can you?" Noah says wittingly as he sucks some sauce off of his finger. It causes Victoria to bit her lip but she rolls her eyes at his statement.

"Wow, twelve years?" I question as I throw on a mixture of cheese on my pizza.

Victoria turns her head to face me with a smile and shrugs, "Something I picked up over the years just to stay busy."

I nod at her understandingly. It only makes sense that she'd feel the need to pick up something to do in her free time considering she is immortal. I would be too if I become their bonder. Being immortal is one thing I definitely do not want, and I guess that's one of the bearing reasons of why this decision is hard for me to make. Shit, it'd be hard for anyone.

"Do you like it?" Noah suddenly questions causing a look confusion to appear on my face, "Do you like your job?"

I nod my head as I dust my hands of the cheese, "Of course, I just want to keep it as safe as possible around here plus I enjoy training."

Noah nods almost approvingly at me with a small grin on his face, "I apologize for the not so good vampires out there that put you in this compromising situation." Victoria just nods her head at me, agreeing with her husband, and giving me a sympathetic look as well.

I just chuckle to lighten the situation, "Guys it's fine. You were going to approach me about about being your bonder anyways."

"Yeah, but it was going to happen a lot smoother than this. Plus when we were going to approach you later on you wouldn't have been in this predicament. I don't know. I kind of just feel bad about the situation," Victoria explains to me and as she talks I barely notice her placing my hand into hers.

My heart thunders a bit inside my chest but I ignore and just smile at Victoria, "Really, it's okay." I have been really nice today, which is odd, but I don't know I guess it's because they're nice to me.

Victoria turns back around only to see her husband with a greasy face and a slice of pizza in his hand. She shakes her head him before crossing her arms, "I wanted Aubrey to have the first piece," She mutters out and it sounds pretty. . .dangerous.

They looked at eachother for a long moment, and I could tell by the gaze in their eyes and the slight shift in color they were in each others heads, speaking. After working at Impulse for a few years I memorized the look and many other looks as well.

Feeling awkward by the silence I hold up my pizza tray and cut into their mental argument, "I think mines is ready to be put in." I really don't want to sit here and watch them argue mentally about a slice of pizza. It's really not that big of a deal.

Victoria swirls around on the heels of her shoes and just like that her smile is back on her face. Well, she definitely has a gemini essence to her.

Victoria gently takes the tray from my hands and hands it to her husband, "Take this to the oven please." She drops the tray in his hands before pushing him aside with her hand until she's in front of the counter where her freshly baked pizza is.

Noah just shakes his head and grins before walking with my pizza to the oven.

"Taste." Victoria holds a piece of pizza up to my mouth and because of the smell I lean foward quickly to take a bite.

Fucking delicious. All these years of her practicing definitely showed in this heavenly pizza. I'm not even a huge fan of pizza but now I am.
