Chapter One
Like always…
Bristol
“I need to get up.”
Pie grunted and pulled me tight against his side. “It’s Saturday. You don’t need to go anywhere other than back to sleep.”
I rolled my eyes and pressed a kiss to his bare chest. “I need to get back to Wyndemere. Marco let the staff know yesterday that construction on the main entrance is done, and he’ll be moving back in with Royal and the baby on Monday. That means I have to get back in the kitchen and make sure it’s stocked with everything I’ll need.” I needed more than two days to get everything done, but I had to make do with the time I had.
“It’s going to take you two days to get the kitchen together?” Pie asked. His arm tightened around me and he pressed a kiss to the side of my head.
There were a ton of things I needed to do. I hadn’t been in the kitchen of Wyndemere for two weeks. Everything that had been in the fridge was expired, and I would need to do a complete restock. Not only did I cook for Marco and whoever his guests were, but I also fed all the other staff. When I was working, I was pretty much cooking and baking all day and into the night. “I wish I had a week to do it, but I’ll make it happen in two days.”
At least I would have the basics and necessities right away.
Pie moved his arm and threw it over his head. “Well, I don’t want to stand in the way of your culinary genius.”
I rolled out of bed and stood. Stretching my arms over my head, I peered down at Pie over my bare shoulder. “You want to—”
The ringing of his phone cut off my words.
“Who the hell is calling me at this hour?” Pie moaned. He reached for his phone and put it to his ear. “Yeah?” he barked.
I laughed and reached for my discarded cami from the floor. After I pulled it on, I spotted my underwear by the door.
“Right now?” he asked.
I grabbed my underwear and pulled them up my legs.
“Fine. I’ll be there in twenty minutes.”
I grabbed a hair tie off my dresser and piled my hair on top of my head. “Everything okay?” I fastened my hair in a messy bun and turned to Pie.
“Just club stuff. I do have to run.”
