“I wouldn’t be slimey and gross,” he claimed.

“You would be the slimiest and grossest frog,” you joked and Jonah put his hand to his heart as though he was actually offended.

“You would be the slimiest and grossest frog,” he shot back at you.

“No, I would be the cleanest and prettiest frog,” you claimed. “I wouldn’t live in a swamp,” you declared, “I’d be the pet to some rich spoiled kid who lives in Beverly Hills.”

Jonah simply rolled his eyes at you before bringing his attention back to the movie. His attention was quickly caught by the delicious dessert on screen.

“I’ve always wanted to try those,” he said looking at you.

“Me too,” you said looking back at him.

“Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” Jonah asked looking at you expectantly.

“I’ll grab the keys,” you said.

You and Jonah were now looking through the various aisles of Target trying to find premade beignets that you two could simply fry and put powdered sugar on but you were out of luck.

“I guess we’ve got to make them from scratch,” you concluded before pulling out your phone searching for a recipe. “Okay, we need flour, kosher salt, sugar, milk, dry yeast, eggs, butter, vegetable oil, and powdered sugar."

You and Jonah went on a search for the ingredients and once you found them all you went shoppping for things you definitely didn’t need.

“This time we are not making my kitchen look like it rained cocaine,” you stated looking at Jonah sternly.

“You started it,” he reminded you.

“That’s not relevant,” you claimed as you took the ingredients out of the Target bags. “Alright, first we need to start on the dough,” you said looking at the recipe.

You poured 3 cups of flour, a 3/4 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 2 tablespoons of sugar just as the recipe said to do. You began mixing the dry ingredients and handed Jonah your phone so he could get started on the next step.

“How do you bloom yeast?” he asked looking at the heading.

“Just keep reading,” you told him. You watched as he followed the steps and heat up a cup of milk over the stove until it was boiling just as the recipe said.

He quickly removed it from the stove and poured it into a bowl. Jonah put in a tablespoon of yeast and sugar before allowing it to sit for 5 minutes as the recipe entailed.

Once the mixture was foamy, the recipe said to beat an egg into the mixture and then add the dry ingredients and mix using an electric mixer.

You both watched as it transformed into dough and gave each other a quick high five before moving to the next step. “Alright now we have to knead the dough,” you said and washed your hands before kneading the dough. You shaped it and put it in a bowl.

“Now what?” Jonah asked curiously.

“Now we wait,” you said before covering the dough which would allow it to rise.

“I’ve always wanted to do this,” Jonah said as he grabbed a hold of the roller and began to roll the dough until it was flat. Once the dough was flat you began to cut it into squares while Jonah began heating up the oil over the stove.

Once the dough was cut into the shape of the beignets you placed them on a plate next to Jonah so he could put them in the oil.

“Ow,” he exclaimed and you looked at him worried.

“What’s wrong?” you asked with furrowed brows.

“I burnt my finger,” he whined and you gently grabbed his hand to take a look.

“You poor baby,” you teased before planting several kisses on his fingertip. “Better?” you asked.

“One more,” he begged and you playfully rolled your eyes before placing another kiss on his fingertip.

“I also burnt myself right here,” he said pointing at his lip and you rolled your eyes before placing a gentle kiss on his lips.

Once the beignets were done cooking you took them out of the oil and let them dry for a few minutes.

You moved the bowl of powdered sugar next to the stove so that you could dip the beignets and after each one was coated in sugar you placed them on a plate.

“Okay, lets try them,” you said as both you and Jonah picked up a beignet. “3,2,1,” you counted down as you and Jonah took a bite out of the beignet. You smiled as Jonah’s eyes lit up.

“These are delicious,” he said as he wiped some of the excess powdered sugar off of his face and you nodded in agreement.

You and Jonah were sitting on the couch, finishing Princess and the Frog while eating your dessert.

“We should open a restaurant,” Jonah suggested jokingly.

“We are not responsible enough for a restuarant, we don’t take anything seriously,” you reminded him.

“That’s not true,” he argued, “you’re the one that’s not responsible enough."

“There’s going to be flour all over the floor and everyone’s going to think that we got drug busted or something,” you told him remebering your previous flour fight.

“I would blame it on you,” he concluded and you shoved him playfully.

“Seriously,” you asked looking at him in shock. “What happend to partners in crime?” you asked raising your eyebrows up at him.

“I have an acting career ahead of me, I can’t afford to go to prison,” he argued.

“You weren’t thinking about that when you suggested we open a restuarant,” you reminded him.

“Well how about this, I pay off your bail and get you a super good lawyer,” he suggested.

“That sounds like a plan,” you hummed in agreement before lying on his chest and he gently stroked your plan.

“I love you,” he whispered placing a kiss to the top of your head.
