“I’m glad you find me so amusing.” I giggle.
“Very amusing,” he teases, trying to hide the comment through his sip of coffee.
“I heard that.”
We both laugh as Nana comes out of the kitchen with a tray of food. “Good to hear some laughter this early in the morning. I have your breakfast.” She places plates of bacon, eggs, pancakes, sausages, breakfast potatoes, and biscuits in front of us. I look at the plate in awe as my stomach grumbles.
“You’ve outdone yourself, Nana,” Aiden tells her.
“You never bring women here. I’m guessing this one must be special, so I’ve made an exceptional breakfast for the two of you.” Her smile lights up the entire room.
His cheeks begin to flush—that’s something I didn’t expect.
“Okay, that’s enough, Nana. Stop embarrassing me.”
I laugh as does she. “No, keep going, Nana. I want to hear more embarrassing stories about Aiden.”
There’s a definite glare in his stare, but Nana simply laughs. “I like this one, Aiden. She has flair.” She looks over at Aiden, who’s glancing between the two of us in amusement.
Aiden scratches his head and chuckles. “She certainly does.” He winks at me while Nana pats me on the shoulder and walks away.
“This is a feast,” I chime.
“I never get fed like this when I come here by myself. I’ll have to bring you here more often.”
I pick up my knife and fork with a laugh and then dig in. Everything tastes delicious. It’s the best breakfast I’ve ever had. I keep shoveling the food into my mouth until I realize Aiden’s watching me, so I raise my brow in confusion.
“You really are hungry, aren’t you?” he asks, holding his coffee.
I laugh. “I’m enjoying it so much I didn’t even realize I’m full, it just tastes so damn good.” I exhale and place my knife and fork on the table feeling completely bloated.
“Oh no, don’t stop on my account. You’re entertaining me again.”
I look at him like he’s being ridiculous. “I’m eating for the sake of eating now, but I don’t want to offend Nana by not eating it all.” Good save, right?
“Nana won’t get offended if you don’t eat it all, but I’m glad you’re enjoying it,” he tells me.
“I wish I could have breakfast like this every day.” I snicker.
I look at his half-eaten plate of food and then check the clock on the wall—seven o’clock. “I really should message Sarah to let her know I’m okay. Excuse me.”
He nods, taking another sip of his coffee as I pull out my phone.
Jenifer: Sez, I’m still with Aiden. I’ll talk to you when I get home. xoxo
Not expecting a return message as it’s early on a Saturday morning, I put my phone away.
“Sorry about that.”
“It’s all good.” He takes my hand, stroking his thumb against mine, which makes my breathing quicken.
Nana steps back up to the table and clears our plates. “How was it, dear?” she asks Aiden.
“Magnificent as always.” She bends over, kissing him on the cheek.
“Thank you. That was amazing,” I exclaim. Aiden and I both laugh at my use of the word ‘amazing’ yet again as Nana looks at him questionably.
“Inside joke… never mind,” Aiden reassures her.
