"Do you need help, ladies?" Griffin stands prompt up against the door frame watching his two favorite women in the kitchen
Lisa turns around with a tray of whole baked chicken in hand "We got everything under control here" she winks at Griffin before placing the hot tray on the island.
Elena mixes around some fruit salad before placing a big spoon inside then look up with a smile "We're almost done here, babe."
A green apron wraps around her waist, hairs down almost touching her waist, and a mid-thigh summer red dress that cinches perfectly to her waist. Beautiful.
He smiles as he watches her in their kitchen.
"You should have let me get the catering team; it'll save you time." He said
Lisa looks up quickly "Nonsense, boy. We got this. Don't you have guests to entertain outside?"
"Ouch! Am I getting kicked out of my own kitchen?" Griffin presses a hand to his peck, feigning hurt.
Elena laughs, Lisa shakes her head with a smile "Always so dramatic that boy. Watch out for him, Elena. He's spoiled to the bones."
"Hey! Don't tell her that. I wanted to surprise her with it." He said
"I think your surprise was ruin years ago," Elena said. Both she and Lisa breaks out into laughter then.
Music to his ears.
He grins like an idiot in his own kitchen being made fun of by two tiny women.
"Thank you for coming in to help us, Lisa," Griffin said
"Yes, thank you. You're a big help." Elena smiles
"No need to thank me. Getting to see you both happy is a big enough reward." Lisa said watching them both while wiping her hands on her apron.
"Now Elena, get out there with that boy. He keeps coming in here like a lost puppy. We're done here anyway; I'm just waiting for the freshly baked bread then we're good." Lisa said
Elena leans in and kisses Lisa on the cheek "Thank you, we'll finish setting up the table outside."
Griffin walks in and kisses Lisa on the cheek before grabbing plates of food
The weather is perfect today, sunlight streaming down, nice cool breeze sways the trees as they walk toward the big oak wooden table shaded under a sycamore tree and place more food on the table.
Elena rearranges a few items on it, face concentrating. Griffin come up from behind her wrap his arms around her waist "You look absolutely beautiful" he said before kissing her bare shoulder
Elena turns her head to him slightly, eyes gazing at him a smile on her face "Thank you, I think this dress does the trick. Someone laid it out on our bed this morning when I came out of the bathroom." She said
"Hmmm that someone must love you and want to see you in this dress while-" Griffin said in a low husky tone but is interrupt when a vehicle pulls up crunching the payment.
"Can we cancel the party?" He groans
Elena laughed "Spoil."
He presses her body harder against his "I'll show you spoiled" he whispers against her ear
Goosebumps break out on her skin; a blush tints her cheeks.
"Should I leave and come back in 30 minutes?" Logan asks as he walks toward them
"Yes," Griffin said "No," Elena said at the same time.
Logan laughs "Make up your mind guys. I can always go and party with Lisa" he walks closer before handing Elena a bouquet of roses and hugging her.
