Chapter 188

Ariana quickly got up and practically ran towards the kitchen . Feeling less nervous now in a place that gave her great comfort in her past and present life, Ariana was finally able to look at the Dabney home . The bungalow had an open kitchen, dinning and living room concept . There was a giant window and ledge to sit and sunbathe in the living room . Double french doors that lead to a deck facing a beautiful backyard with a breath taking view of the lake . A slightly raised floor with a three step stair way that lead to the bedrooms and bathroom . The countertops were a light grey, the pantries were a golden oak while the walls were painted a light taupe . It gave Ariana a very modern feeling compared to everything she had seen, the only thing that gave her a small chuckle was that everything had already been baby proofed .

"What are we making?" Ariana asked as she washed then dried her hands . "Stuffed sweet potatoes . " Mrs . Dabney said as she started to practically drooled . Ariana looked a little put off . She knew people loved sweet potatoes plain or with a little bit of b.u.t.ter, she was one of them but she remembered people who loved to add marsmallows to their sweet potato ca.s.seroles for the holidays . She was never brave enough to ever try it and now she had to eat them a completely separate way . Mrs . Dabney let out a small laugh . "For a foodie you look pretty scared . " Mrs . Dabney teased .

"S-s-so what do we do first?" Ariana asked as she tried to divert Mrs . Dabney's attention . "Right, scrub the potatoes . " Mrs . Dabney instructed as she handed Ariana a scrubber and pointed to 6 large sweet potatoes that were waiting in the sink . whe Ariana turned on the faucet, MrsDabney grabbed a large bowl . She then grabbed her ingredients and started to get to work . She mixed b.u.t.ter, brown sugar, and flour together until it was crumbly-looking . She then added cinnamon, salt, pieces of pecans, and marshmallows . Then folded the streusel mixture together with a spatula . Ariana dried her hands after she scrubbed the potatoes clean .

"What's next?" Ariana asked as she looked into the bowl . In the drawer to your right will be a metal poker . Use it and poke holes all over the potatoes . " Mrs . Dabney said as she stopped mixing . Ariana did what she was told and pulled out a long metal poker . "This thing?" Ariana asked with great confusiuon . "Yes . " Mrs . Dabney answered as she slightly bent forward . "Ugh! c.r.a.p! Hey sweetie can you grab me a tray from the drawer under the oven . I can't seem to . . . well you know . " Mrs . Dabney said as she let out a small awkward laugh as she placed her right hand on her lower back . "Oh my G*d yes!" Ariana shouted with panick as she rushed over to help, forgetting to put the poker down . Mrs . Dabney laughed as she met Ariana's face . "Thank you . " Mrs . Dabney said with a heartfelt smile .

Ariana, a little dumbstruck gave the tray awkwardky and walked back to the potatoes . She wanted to crawl into a hole but settled with poking potatoes . She couldn't let a pregnant lady go hungry . Mrs . Dabney started the oven and then placed the poked sweet potatoes on the tray . Ariana swore she could do better in the kitchen and be more attentive to Mrs . Dabney's condition . So when saw that Ms . Dabney was going to grab the tray and she stopped her and held out her hands . "It's hard to bend over, let me do it . " Ariana said firmly but her shaking eyes betrayed her, so couldn't calm down . "Sure . " Mrs . Dabney said pleasentaly as she gave Arian the tray .

Ariana turned around, slid the tray into the oven and closed the door . "Come sit down with me . The potatoes will be ready in 45 minutes . " Mrs . Dabney said as she gestured Ariana to follow her . "Sit, I will be right back . " Mrs . Dabney said as she stood to the side and watched a very nervous Ariana slink her way to her original spot, like a puppy caught doing something wrong . Mrs . Dabeny gave her another warm smile before leaving, she headed towards the bedrooms with a small bounce in her step .

Ariana broke out into a cold sweat . She didn't know what Mrs . Dabney wanted to do with her but she felt completley out of her element . Ariana then touched her cheek and calmed down slightly . She knew that she didn't have to fear Mrs . Dabney, she took great care of her and healed her more than once but the look she gave her previously caused her heart to practically stop . It was cold, more then cold . It was deadly and icy . A chill ran down Ariana's body and she involuntarily hugged herself .

"I'm back . " Mrs . Dabney called out causing Ariana's hair to stand on end . Her heart wasn't ready for whatever punishment Mrs . Dabney was going to give her . She closed her eyes and started to tremble . "Honestly, I won't eat you silly . " Mrs . Dabney said with a light laugh as she tapped Ariana's head with a book . Ariana opened her eyes slowly and saw Mrs . Dabney glowing with pride . Ariana then raised her hands slowly and grabbed the book . Mrs . Dabney let go and sat down next to Ariana, eyes sparkling with antic.i.p.ation . "Go on! Look at it . " Mrs . Dabney said as she waved her index finger at the book in Ariana's hands .

Ariana looked down and her eyes almost buldged out of her head . "My book . " Ariana whispered with admiration . "Nope, my book . I will lend it to you for your project but the catch is you have to do your research here . You are not allowed to take this book out of this house . " Mrs . Dabney said firmly .

Ariana's eyes started to water . "Why? Why are you helping me? The look you gave me before when I told you about the book was pure hatred . " Ariana cried . "What?! No! Well maybe a little . I mean I don't like that our library doesn't have a copy . I mean, it took me a long time to write the book, so yes I was a little mad but super excited at the same time! I mean knew about the book and wanted to use it . " Mrs . Dabney admitted with a smirk . Ariana's tears stopped and she looked at Mrs . Dabney with shock . "What?!" She shouted causing Mrs . Dabney's smile to grow wider .
