"Uhmm… cough* cough*" Aeri and I stood naked in the middle of the kitchen, both of us waving our hands frantically in front of our faces to clear the thick, burnt smoke that was filling the air.
"Open the window, Ezra!" Aeri said, coughing as she tapped my bare shoulder repeatedly.
"Ohh shit, yes!" I replied quickly and rushed over to the kitchen window. I pushed it open as wide as possible, letting the fresh afternoon air rush inside.
"I told you to come here and finish the cooking first but no! You don't want to listen!" Aeri scolded in a slightly commanding tone. She quickly lifted the lid of the pan and poured some water inside to stop the burning, causing even more smoke to rise up for a moment.
"Ehehe… I'm sorry…" I said with a sheepish, guilty smile, scratching the back of my head as I walked closer to her.
"Sheesh, come on! I was hungry as well," she sighed, looking sadly at the ruined, blackened chicken in the pan.
