One week later.
Cas, Daphne and Zoey were sitting in the cozinha having breakfast. Cas still hadn’t learn how to use a fork and a faca and so again he was eating with his fingers. Zoey sighed irritated and pulled Cas’ plate to her. She grabbed her own fork and faca and cut his egg into pieces. She then aggressively shoved his plate back.
“See how it’s done?” she asked disdainful. Cas looked down at his plate.
“Can’t you try and be nice?” Daphne said. Zoey looked at Daphne. “What? The guy’s a total idiot. It’s annoying”
Daphne rotated her head to Cas and smiled. “How’s your egg, sweetie?”
“It’s okay” Cas answered, feeling uneasy.
Zoey scoffed. “I bet he couldn’t even do that” She looked at Cas. “I’d like to see you try, though”
“Try what?” Cas asked confused.
“You don’t have to, sweetie” Daphne said.
“What? Scared that I’m right?” Zoey said.
Daphne got up. “What’s the big deal? So what if he can’t cut his comida or cook or whatever? Why do you have to make such a fuzz about everything?” she shouted hysterical.
Cas frowned concerned, but Zoey raised her eyebrows. “I think you need to andorinha another pill”
“That is not funny” Daphne said with a trembling voice.
The sino rang, putting an end to the unbearable silence.
“I suggest I’ll go see who it is” Cas said, getting up and walking to the front door. He opened it and a woman appeared.
“Hi, I hope I’m not bothering you?” she said. She was carrying a plate with chocolate muffins.
Cas looked over his shoulder and back at the woman.
“I just moved in across the street. Figured I should make some kind of announcement” she said, lifting the plate. “I’d shake your hand, but…”
“I’ll take that” Daphne said. She was curious about what took Cas so long to get back in there.
“Thank you” the woman said. “I’m Meg” She grabbed Cas’ hand and shook it. “Nice to meet you, handsome”
Daphne jerked Cas’ hand out of Megs and shot an angry look at Meg. Meg smirked. “Well, I guess I’ll be going, then. I’ll be seeing you around”
She winked at him and left.
Daphne dragged Cas inside and slammed the door. She turned to Cas. “Who was that?” she asked furious.
“I don’t know” Cas said, frightened por Daphne’s anger.
“Why did she look at you like that?” Daphne asked. Tears were coming up in her eyes. “I thought you liked me! And now it turns out you have a girlfriend! Is that how you thank me for letting you in?”
“Now who’s making a fuzz?”
Zoey had entered the hallway and she looked dead serious. She looked at Cas, who swallowed. “Emmanuel, can you go clean the table? My sister and I need to talk”
Cas gladly followed that order and walked back into the kitchen.
