Chasing my Dream

Chapter 9

My alarm blasted at 5am I decided on a quick run before getting breakfast sorted.

Run = check
Shower = check
Bed made = check
Dressed for the day = check
Text to Brandon!

Oh crap. Grabbing my phone I opened text messages.

Brandon: morning Senna. I am on cloud 9 this morning. I hope the feeling is mutual. I'm sorry but plans have changed I am out of town for a couple of days and work gets hectic so if I am on radio silence please don't panic I will be in touch when I can beautiful xx

Pria: I had a fabulous evening so move over on that cloud DB. Work is work. Don't worry I'm not clingy and I've a few things to sort this week xx

Brandon: I hope you get them all sorted. I should be home Thursday so will give you a call. I can't believe I've know you for under a week ;) xx

Pria: I've no plans for Thursday yet but I'll keep you informed. I'm off to cook breakfast for my little champion. I shall drop you a text later but don't worry I shall refrain from checking my phone every 5 minutes ;) xx

Brandon: hey I already do that. Have a sweet day Senna xx

Pria: you too xx

Even his texts makes me smile brightly. I make my way to the kitchen and prepare my mix for the pancakes. I know Derek is home today so we can have a later breakfast. I start prep for just two of my men.

Jacob saunters in as I'm making the first ones. "Morning Sis you taking me in your sin machine today" he chuckles.

"Yes I am and it's not a sin machine" I smile at him.

"It looks it but I'm not complaining it gets me some points in school. Are we staying at the island this morning?" he asks.

"Yes just lay for 2" I ask.

He sets up the plates and then grabs the juice from the fridge. The coffee is just finishing as Gerry enters the kitchen. He has an office in town where he does most of his writing. "Morning princess, morning champion" he sing songs. "Mmmmm pancakes, can I have blueberry and strawberry princess"

"Already done master" I slide his plate over with his pancakes as I place Jacob's into the pan, these must have chocolate chips.

"I've missed your cooking princess" I think that's what he says around a mouthful of food. "How was your date!" he asks.

"Ohh Pria went on a date. Any kissing or are you still afraid of cooties?" teases Jacob.

"It was very nice thank you" I smiled at their teasing I knew reacting to them would only make them worse. "Have you everything for school" I asked Jacob.

"Yes ma'am" he replied.

"Less of that or I'll be kissing you outside of school" he gulped. I knew that would shut him up. "Hurry up Gerry will clean up" I told him.

"I will, will I?" Gerry questioned.

"Yes for the pancakes and tonight I am making goulash and rhubarb crumble" I said.

"Crikey I need to start running with you in the morning to burn off the calories" he laughed. I smiled back at him knowing full well the last thing Gerry would do is run in the morning, unless something big was chasing him.

"See you at dinner Dad" I shouted behind me.

"Yes you can tell me all about the date with Brandon" he singed again. I giggled shaking my head as I reached the front door.
