Claire held the bowls filled with food towards the wooden table on the dining room.
Plates have been placed above two mats that stood opposite to each other and spoons and forks have been compiled. The bowls filled with the soup she cooked was placed on the middle as she turned around to take the cups filled with rice and put it face down on the clear white surface of the plates.
Preparing the table took almost twenty minutes. Claire glanced at the clock and saw it was currently 12: 10. Her motion stopped as she looked towards the living room, eyeing the busy girl that was currently fondling with her phone.
"Cla- Meimei...It's time to eat lunch." Called Claire loudly.
The girl sitting on the couch looked up with a flinch and looked towards the girl with tied black hair. Clara didn't waste anymore time and quickly stood up. She hastily walked towards the dining table and sat on the chair opposite to the one on the right side.
"Whoah," gasped Clara in amazement. Her hand held the spoon as she opened the cups that revealed nicely cooked sticky soft rice. Clara smiled and then glanced at Claire who stood beside.
"It looks wonderful, Big sister."
"Really?"
Claire, lost in thought, spoke emptily.
Stolen story; please report.
Clara didn't notice this as her gaze shifted towards the empty seat before her.
"Come and let's eat together, big sis."
Claire nodded blankly as she scurried towards her seat. Her eyes remaining on the figure sitting on the opposite eyes with probing gaze. Clara finally didn't become overly ignorant and quickly catched the questioning glare. Her hands that was slicing the pork paused a bit as her smile deepened.
"Sorry for intruding. I know that I'm already big yet I'm becoming dependent on you. I just had a realization that I've never visited you once. Next time, I'll treat you. For now, I'll taste your mesmerizing food."Said Clara as she propped a pork into her mouth.
Claire retrieved her gaze and replied, "It's nothing. I'm glad you remembered to visit me. Ever since you reached nineteen, you've became far from reach. It's been a very long time since we have eaten together."
Clara nodded, "Yes...yes. Its quite troubling that I used to have a bratty personality but you won't need to be upset anymore. I have grown!"
"Oh.." Whispered Claire as her gaze drifted towards her plate. She suddenly looked up and then stood, her hand held the chair's upper pillar and said, "I forgot that the dishes I've served was lacking."
"Hmm? Everything looks good, by what do you mean?"
Claire turned around and walked towards the kitchen, after a few minutes, she walked out and went towards the table holding a plate of green peas.
"You like these, don't you remember?"
Clara stiffly laughed, "oh hah...ha..ha, I must have forgotten. Hehe, don't worry, I have my appetite and I'll like to eat it!"
After she said so, Clara took the peas and put it into her plate. She began to dig in and Claire watched this for a short moment before following.
Suddenly, coughing sounded and Claire's hand paused. Her head looked up and her monolid eyes squinted. Clara choked and uncontrollably her nose bled. Claire was in worry, she let go of her spoon and dashed to the opposite side, her hand patting the girl's back as her brows furrowed in distress.
