“I imply, your bacon is burning…” I stated as I pointed to the scorching pan that appeared encrusted in black char at this level.
Weston pushed me apart, turning the items over with a glad sound.
“It isn’t burning. It’s char-grilled. It’s a connoisseur factor.”
“Hmmm, in order that’s what they name it,” I teased, however determined to take his lead. As an alternative of pushing, making an attempt to take over, I took a seat at my island and simply… watched.
I simply watched the son of a millionaire make me breakfast in his underwear and it was wonderful.
Entertaining too, as I watched him bustle about my kitchen like he lived there, opening and shutting cabinets, pouring coffees and orange juices, and making an attempt to set the desk like this place was a 5 star restaurant.
The meals itself wasn’t horrible… even the char-grilled bacon.
However nothing was as scrumptious as the person who made it, the person who actually did appear to be he belonged right here.
With me.
Simply as I completed my final piece of toast, Weston’s telephone rang.
“Hiya?” he answered, trying a bit anxious, however immediately relaxed after a second or two.
I made a decision to go away him to whoever he spoke to, and as an alternative centered on cleansing up the mess from Weston’s cooking extravaganza.
“I’ll be proper there,” he stated with a sigh as he hung up.
I turned to take a look at him. “All the things okay?”
He nodded. “My dad’s getting discharged,” he stated calmly.
“That’s an excellent factor, proper?” I requested, instantly heading over to him. I didn’t miss how his shoulders tightened, or how his total physique locked up, the strain clearly spreading.
And so I did the one factor I might consider. I pulled Weston into my arms, and I advised him it was going to be okay.
He was going to be okay.
He wrapped his arms round me, tightening his maintain and nodded, leaning all the way down to brush my lips with a delicate, whisper of a kiss, and he murmured, “I do know.”
“I’ve acquired to get going, however, I’ll name you later?” he requested as he moved out of my arms towards the bed room.
My coronary heart was by some means each so full and so damaged as I watched this excellent morning fully disintegrate.
The evening earlier than he’d advised me he liked me.
I’d stated it again as a result of it was the reality, however as I watched him prepare to go out, it dawned on me that we hadn’t actually talked about what we had been, or the place this… connection, this love we did have… the place it match into his life.
Weston had come to Jasper Springs on enterprise, however he hadn’t agreed to remain indefinitely. Actually, regardless of his father’s insistence he take the reins, Weston had made no transfer to take action.
Did he plan on heading again to the town the place he lived?
Would we simply develop into some long-distance relationship the place we caught up on the weekends till it was time for him to fly off someplace else?
I wasn’t certain.
However regardless of the nervousness, regardless of the ideas that threatened to upend this lovely, excellent morning, I selected to consider that possibly issues would work out.
In any case, believing within the good issues, having hope, that’s a hell of much more troublesome than believing issues gained’t work out in your favor
And typically, life does provide you with precisely what you ask for.
