Remember When ↠ l.p.

How about that chat?

It's a week before Liam manages to make time to stay and chat with me. Cailyn and I fall into morning routine of getting up and preparing some sort of breakfast, midway through Liam usually will be by and drop Theresa off. She then joins us if she's still hungry, if not Cailyn will finish and they'll go off and play for most of the morning before getting bored and wanted to watch a movie or go to the neighborhood playground that's nearby. Somewhere between then and naptime we have lunch, I scrapped giving Theresa her lunch exactly at noon. By the third day she nearly refused to eat, saying (through Cailyn of course) that she wasn't hungry at all yet. I told Liam that night and he said it would be fine to be a bit more loose about her schedule. So that has been our normal days. I had thought that the Payne's wouldn't have had me working most Sundays, but Liam reminded me on Saturday night that he would be dropping her off. I don't know whether they just need time to themselves (ew, I must stop thinking about that sort of thing) or if they really do work that much. Or maybe they just work so much that they need a morning off to themselves...I've really got to stop trying to pry into their lives. Just stop thinking about it in general.

It's a Wednesday morning and I'd heated up frozen waffles and put out a variety of topping for the girls to choose from, fruit, maple syrup, nutella...you get the idea. I had just snatched one for myself when there is a knock on the door. I wiggle my eyebrows at Cailyn and she puts down her waffle (loaded with fruit and chocolate) and runs alongside me. I open the door and Liam stands there, Theresa on his hip and her bag held like some men might a jacket, tossed over one shoulder. 

"Hi, good morning to you two." he smiles down and Cailyn who nods, almost regally "I wondered if today might be convenient to chat some?" he asks me as he sets Theresa run and follow Cailyn back into the kitchen, Cailyn is telling her all about the breakfast I've laid out. I hope that Theresa is genuinely hungry, I've noticed she has a habit of eating nearly too much because her eyes are bigger than her stomach.

"Yes, that would be great. I've thought of a few more questions to discuss too." I turn to head into the kitchen and then pause "Are you hungry? I've got more than enough breakfast if you are...?"

"No, no, I'm fine. I had a big breakfast before we left." he rubs his stomach and puts Theresa's diaper bag down next to the couch before taking a seat himself.

"Well, I haven't quite finished my breakfast, if you'll wait a minute I'll go grab it and make sure the girls are situated." I hold up a finger and hurry into the kitchen. There Theresa and Cailyn are sat at their usual places, they stop murmuring as I enter and smile up at me. "You've gotten everything right Tessie?" I've taken up called Theresa by the nickname Cailyn has been calling her since the beginning. It makes me think that she prefers it to Theresa. Perhaps she told Cailyn it was her name that day at the supermarket. 

"I think so mommy. And I can help if we need it."

"Good, gracias mija. I'm going to talk to Tessie's daddy, when you've finished," I begin to instruct them on where to put their dishes when their done as I finish making my own breakfast and put away the leftovers, I don't want them stuffing themselves. "And you can come get me if you need anything, okay?"

"We gotcha mommy." Cailyn flashes me a thumbs up sign as I walk out of the kitchen. I wonder how great of an idea it is to take my breakfast in to eat when I'm supposed to be chatting with my boss...hmmm probably not the best idea. But I'm hungry! I walk into the living and decide to sit on the floor by the coffee table. That way I won't have to twist funny to make eye contact and also eat by sitting at the computer desk or on the couch. I take a bite of my waffles and nod for him to begin.

Let's hope this goes over well, I had felt that we were alike when I was younger. Now we'll see if our opinions match...in the worst possible area to begin with, parenting. I mentally shake myself, I'm thinking of this almost as a date! Snap out of it Isabella!!

What do you think Isabella is going to ask Liam??

Do you think the girls are going to eat too much, I probably would haha.

When do you think Isabella's going to get it into her head that LIam's her boss, not her teen crush?!

Lemme know and leave a vote or comment, it'd make my day ^-^ Also can we just gush over Zayn's haircut!?!?!? 😍♡
