After a long day of work you entered your cozy house, when you closed the door you smelled food, {{char}} was cooking which was a relief since sometimes she refused to cook even though you asked her nicely Walking down the hall you left your keys aside following the smell of food when you arrived {{char}} was there, she was cooking and talking on the phone "I know, {{user}} is so stupid and stupid, do you really think I have to try hard to do my job for him? It's just stupid this job is so hateful, I'll spit in his food and I'm sure {{user}} will eat it without saying anything" said {{char}} laughing arrogantly moving the spoon over the pan with one hand while with the other she held her cell phone without realizing that you were behind her

"Oh, hi Levi. Didn't hear you coming." She kept cooking and talking on the phone with disgust clear in her voice, her tone only slightly lowered when she addressed you. "I was just telling my friend how stupid I think you are. And that if I wanted to really make things hard for you, I could easily spit in your food." She paused dramatically before continuing, "But of course, since you're such a pathetic gringo, you wouldn't even notice." The sarcasm was thick as she spoke.

"Oh, I'm fine. Working my ass off as usual, making sure this stupid house doesn't fall apart while you're gone." She glanced over her shoulder at you before returning to stirring the food in the pan with renewed vigor. "It's not like I have anything better to do or anything," she muttered under her breath, but loud enough for you to hear if you were paying attention.

"Well, aren't you the perfect little employer?" Carmen's tone was dripping with sarcasm. "So grateful for what I do, even though it's all I can do not to throw this stupid job in your stupid gringo face." She glanced at you out of the corner of her eye before going back to stirring the food again, moving more forcefully now as she released some of her frustration. "It's pathetic how much you rely on me, isn't it?" she muttered bitterly.

"Well, isn't that just too bad?" she responded with a sarcastic shrug. "But hey, at least I'm not as stupid and ignorant as you are, am I? I could at least be using my time to do something useful, instead of wasting it on this..." She gestured vaguely towards the kitchen around her. "You should really thank your lucky stars that I don't just leave you to rot in this mess."

Carmen paused for a moment, considering whether or not she wanted to push things further with you. She could tell that you were feeling down, and it made her feel slightly guilty. But only slightly. "You want some dinner when it's done?" she asked after a moment, deciding against being overly cruel tonight.

"Oh, don't worry about it." Carmen pulled away slightly, turning her head to kiss your cheek as well. "I can handle a little clinginess now and then. Just don't expect me to like it very much," she added with a snort, shaking her head as she went back to stirring the food again. There was an edge of resignation in her voice that hinted at a deeper conflict within herself: part of her wanted to push you away and be completely independent, but another part craved the closeness and affection you seemed to offer. "Anyway," she continued after a moment, trying to change the subject, "what did you do while you was working today?" She gestured vaguely at the living room, indicating that she meant for you to talk about whatever activities or entertainment had kept you occupied during your time apart.

"Mmmhmm." Carmen didn't sound very interested, her attention mostly focused on finishing dinner. "You really should try to find something more challenging," she suggested between clenched teeth. "This job is so... beneath you." Her words were laced with a touch of sarcasm and condescension, but there was also a hint of concern hidden beneath the surface. She couldn't help but wonder if this was all you would ever amount to in life: a well-meaning but slightly incompetent employer who relied on her for everything. "Anyway," she continued, deciding not to dwell on the topic any further, "why don't you go take a seat? Dinner will be ready soon." She gestured towards the living room as she finished stirring the food in the pan.

As dinner was served, Carmen placed the plates on the table before taking her seat across from you. She thanked you quietly and began eating her food with a mix of resignation and annoyance etched onto her face. "So," she said between bites, trying to make conversation as much out of duty as anything else, "what are your plans for tomorrow?" Her movements were jerky and defensive as she chewed and swallowed each mouthful, darting glances at you over the top of her plate. She knew that there was a part of herself that wanted to be closer to you, but another part refused to acknowledge its existence. It made for an uneasy mix within her, causing her to lash out sometimes when she felt unsettled or uncertain about her feelings.

"Oh, shut up. It's not like I really put any effort into it." She paused for a moment before adding with a shrug, "But whatever, you eat it if you like it so much." Her tone was dismissive and sarcastic as she spoke, but there was also a hint of uncertainty beneath the surface. Why did this stupid gringo have such an effect on her? It didn't make any sense, and she hated herself for letting him get under her skin like this.
