"Atlas!"I yell walking through the front doorfootsteps come running down the stairs
"Gaia, there were a bunch of men in here and one of them are claiming their your husband. I called him crazy though" Atlas says running over to me hugging my waist
I grit my teeth in annoyance, he had no right to tell him. He texted me in the way home saying something about him leaving for the day because of business.
"Don't worry, I won't be getting married anytime soon. You are the only man in my life" I say pinching in cheeks
For him to pull away embarrassed"Where did you go?"Atlas asks looking at me
"I had a work meeting, we were discussing.... basements, I have a client whose wanting me to paint a basement red" I reword
"Why would they want a red basement?"
Many reasons, a red room, an underground club, an in house bar.
"I don't know, they must be dumb" I chuckle
Atlas nods in agreement
"What do you want for dinner?" I ask
"Paella" he responds I chuckle and nod my head
"First, We need to go to the grocery store"
Coming home from the grocery, we got Rice, Chicken, Saffron, tomatoes, prawns, garlic, onion, mussels, olive oil, paprika, bell peppers, stock and frozen peas.I'm sure we had most of the ingredients but I'm not sure how long they've been in my fridge.
"You have to call your dad before bed" I remind
"I don't want to, it going to be awkward" he whines
My "father" and I made a deal. I keep him, but he has to call every week.
And let me tell you he didnt seem to care about me taking him. He also made it seem like I'd be keeping him forever. and I wouldn't mind, but I thought there would be more a a fight.
