it was 5pm and i was bored. so, i decided to make some french fries.

i started by cutting 10 potatoes into many strips.

part of the recipe was to leave the potatoes strips in the fridge for a little bit, so i wrapped them in plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator.

i walked upstairs to wait, and saw nate sitting on a little chair in my hallway.

"hey," i say.

"hi, what's up?"

"i was wondering if we could grey's anatomy while the potatoes chill."

"you have to chill the potatoes?"

"yes," i say, "it's what the recipe says."

he shrugs, and then we go to the living room and watch the show.

we watched an episode and then i went to the fridge.

nate stayed on the couch.

i opened the fridge and unwrapped the potatoes. they were ready.

i dumped some oil into a pan and set it on the stove. i turn the heat up to 6 so it will get hot fast.

the water starts to boil and it bubbles up. the bubbles pop and the tiniest bit of oil gets on my wrist.

"ooh-" i say with a little jump. it was so hot.

i quickly wiped it off and my skin was the teeniest bit of red.

i shrugged it off and added a little bit of salt to the oil.

hmmm. should i put the fries in one by one, or all at once.

all at once seems best.

i take all the potatoes and hold them in my hand. i hover them over the oil and then drop them.

splash!

a ton of oil splashes on my chest and neck.

"ah- god damn it! ouch!" i yell. i jump around in circles from the pain, i find anything to get it off.

nate springs up and runs into the kitchen.

he gasps a little, and then grabs an oven mitt, and quickly pats down my chest.

"ow-" i holler, as he drys me off.

"sorry.."

"ouch!"

"we got to get this off of you," he says, patting quicker.

"ow! ooh, ouch!"

he finishes drying me off and rushes to the freezer and places a bag of frozen vegetables on my neck and chest.

"looks like it's only a first degree burn. ice and some vaseline should help."

"ehh..." i groan, "thank you."

the ice was a huge relief, but was freezing me.

"okay, hold the ice a little longer, i'm gonna go find vaseline." he says, scurrying to the bathroom.

he comes back and places the ice to the side.

he used his 2 fingers and grabs a small scoop of the vaseline and places it on my neck.

he rubs it in and down to my chest. all over the burns.

i sigh in relief.

"now, take the ice and get comfortable on the couch. i'm gonna go order dinner. canes sound good?" he asks.

i nod.

he takes out his phone as i go lay on the couch.

he orders post mates and then he cleans up the kitchen.

we continue watching grey's anatomy while we wait.

the door bell rings and nate answers it.

"ta-da!" he exclaims, walking over to me.

he hands me my box and drink, and i instantly dig in.

"thank you so much, baby." i say, with a smile.

he looks down and over at me, "no problem. i love you." he says with a soft smile.

"i love you too."
