Chapter twenty three

--------------------------------------------- A Week Later--------------------------------------------------------

“So then I just did everything he taught me and I rode the wave out!” Kate said to Val. They were lounging on the beach behind Brian’s and Kate was telling her about the first wave she caught.

“Why don’t you show me?” Val said with a bit of laughter. Kate shook her head.

“No thanks. I only wanted to know I could do it. Now I don’t have to again.” She said with a smile. Val laughed.

“You got pounded by the water didn’t you.” Kate nodded and they laughed.

Brian watched them from the porch with a smile. He and Matt were working on some stuff for the new album and they decided to take a break.

“Man that riff you came up with is pretty awesome.” Matt said. Brian nodded but kept his gaze upon Kate.

“So what have you got planned for her birthday?” Matt asked. Brian turned around and smiled.

“Come into the house, I’ll tell you.”

-------------------------------------------The Next Day----------------------------------------------------------

Today was Kate’s 21st birthday. Brian woke up early to set his plan into motion. He called Val to make sure she was ready to do her part, then he started with breakfast.

Kate woke up soon after to the smell of bacon and eggs. She smiled and stretched, then hopped out of bed. Brian saw her walk into the kitchen and he smiled.

“Happy birthday Kate.” He said. She smiled.

“Thank you. What is this, a breakfast omelet?” She asked. He chuckled and nodded.

He set a plate in front of her. It had a giant omelet cut in half on it. Inside of it was cheese and bacon, two of Kate’s favorites. Then he set a glass of orange juice on the table and a side of toast. She smiled.

“Brian this looks delicious.” She said. Brian smiled and sat down beside her.

Brian ate his breakfast quickly, then watched Kate eat hers. She hated to admit it, but Brian was an amazing cook. She slowly finished her omelet, then leaned back in the chair.

“That was amazing. Thank you.” She said with a smile. He nodded then looked up at the clock.

“Don’t you think you should get dressed now?” He asked her. She looked down at her pajama’s then rolled her eyes.

“Oh fine.” She huffed, then went to change.

Brian cleared the table, then nervously paced around the kitchen. Kate came out a few minutes later in shorts and a Pantera t-shirt. Brian smiled at her and she raised her eyebrow.
