The Deal About Us

35

"Papa I have an invitation tonight so I will be back by twelve" I said sitting on the table eating my breakfast

"You better not come home drunk. It's your turn to make breakfast tomorrow" Keith said flipping the pancakes

"Yeah fine anyway I don't want everybody to suffer another day with your pancake" I said almost using all the whipped cream in the can before me as he scowled at me

"Julia pass me the strawberry purée" I muttered and she passed me it as I lathered it all over my pancakes when Keith took the plate away from me

"Hey! Give it back" I yelled

"Why? you don't need to suffer today either with my pancakes" he mocked

"Keith put the plate down" papa shouted at him

"Favouritism" he muttered setting the plate down

"How do I look?" I asked

"Ready to be swept of your feet and in his bed" she replied and I rolled my eyes

"Let's go" I said and walked out of my room with Julia following me engrossed in her phone

"Hey sweet heart" he greeted me

"Hey John" I hugged him but pulled away a little late because he wasn't letting me

"Oh yeah sorry that was seconds too long" he let out a nervous chuckle. I linked my arm with him and followed him inside

"I thought Julia will be here too?" he asked

"Well trust me she came out with me but Gray asked her on a date and she ran of to her date. So yeah it's only me" I replied

"Dang! She is quite the party animal would have uplifted it. I am not saying you are bad you are good not a party animal but yeah" he blabbered and I playfully scowled at him and hit his arm

"I thought I was the apple of your eye" I asked folding my arms

"Well of course you are but that something I need in my life and maybe bed. Trust me babe when I say Julia is the life and soul of every party" he answered

"Looks like someone's crushing on my bestie but she is taken" I said sticking my tongue out at him playfully

"Well good for her because I have my eyes only for you my love" He whispered in my ear. I turned to him and pulled him closer to me

"That's sad babe given that I'm supposed to be married in a month" I whispered straightening his shirt

"I'll get you" he said his hands on my waist

"Well I would surely like to see you try" I said my hands resting against his chest
