Chapter 31 Mother & Daughter
Theo then looked at the carefree Emily who was pulling his hand and laughed lightly.
She pulled Theo till they got to her front door, where she got on her tiptoes to reach for the handle and open it. Theo was going to wait outside but he was once again dragged by the excited little Emily.
After dragging Theo into the house Emily stopped and shouted: "Mom where are you!"
A smooth feminine voice replied, "I'm in the kitchen!"
Emily looked at Theo and proceeded to drag Theo towards the kitchen. Getting to the kitchen he saw a young woman sat at a glossy white table with a laptop and paper surrounding it.
She had long light brown hair, that cascade down her back. She wore a baggy light grey hoodie with sweat pants, even though she was wearing baggy clothing it couldn't hide the slim survey body that hid underneath.
She had an oval head shape and on her face were soft pink lips, a sharp nose, a pair of delicate almond eyes and sharp eyebrows perched above.
Emily let loose of Theo's arm and ran towards the women, happily grabbed her arm and jumped up and down "Mom! Mom! Let's go to the neighbour's house to eat"
The women looked away from the computer and stared at her daughter with a surprise before laughing "Hehe I can cook us a nice light meal if you're hungry"
Emily puffed her cheeks and shook her head violently and pointed at Theo's direction "No mom, he said he was inviting us"
Following her daughter's finger, she found a godly figure smiling at the mother, daughter pair.
Theo found their intimate interaction very cute and couldn't help but smile. What he didn't realise was that he just unintentionally made the women's heart flutter.
Theo: "Hi I'm Theodore Smith, I just moved in with my friend next door and wondered if you and Emily would like to join us for lunch"
The young woman's heart was beating at an alarming rate "Um I'm Hi, Sorry Hi I'm Rose Jones, It's nice to meet you, my daughter and I would love to join you for lunch"
Theo: "That's good or else Emily's efforts would have gone to waste" he then smiled at Emily, who then responded with a prideful look
Rose didn't know what he meant by that but she knows that her daughter Emily brought this handsome stranger and was thankful.
Rose looked down at herself realising she looks like a mess and nervously said "Can you give me second to change"
Theo: "Yeah sure but could you be quick, I'm afraid my friend couldn't wait and started without us, also I don't want the food to be cold"
Emily jumped up like she had been frightened "Mom hurry, we can't let aunty eat everything"
Theo laughed at her reaction but Rose was reacting differently she seemed to have a fire burning in her eyes and ran up to her room to change only to come back down the next second wearing a white sundress and her hair tied into a neat bun.
Turning around she looked at Theo with light blush and said "How do I look"
Theo was at loss for words and just stared on with a dumb look on his face.
Emily, innocently from the side gave to big thumbs up "You look like a princess mom"
Theo: "She isn't wrong, now let's go eat"
Emily: "Yay!! "
And so Theo led them back to his house. When they got inside the house they couldn't help but breath alluring cooking fumes into the body.
Emily quickly pulled her self out of Rose's hand and sprint into the kitchen. Emily saw Megan at the table and said "Hehe yes I did it, Hi aunty, I'm Emily and I want lots of the baby burger to please"
Megan was angry when she heard someone referring to herself as aunty when she's only 23 years old but all that anger disappeared when she saw how cute Emily is.
She then saw Theo come in with a woman behind him and felt like someone was trespassing her territory. She looked at her with an intense stare before realising that Theo is way too socially awkward to hit on women, so she didn't have any fears.
Theo was actually scared because he thought Megan had eaten everything and would have to awkwardly tell them that he wasted their time. He was grateful when he saw Megan patiently waiting.
Theo: "Thanks for waiting, Megan"
He then turned towards Rose and said "Rose this is Megan, my best friend and Megan this is our neighbour Rose, also the mother of Emily"
Emily immediately put out her little hand for a handshake, Megan silently laughed at how cute she was and shook her hand "It nice to meet you, princess"
Emily giggled and said "It's nice to meet you too, Aunty"
Megan: "You can call me big sister Megan or just Megan"
Emily: "Okay Megan"
Megan then turned to Rose and said "It's nice to meet you Rose"
Rose: "Likewise Megan"
Theo: "Okay let's sit down and eat, Megan do you wanna move so that Emily can sit next to her Mom"
Megan: "Yeah sure" She moved around from the opposite side of the table to sit on Theo's left
Rose saw this and tried to sit next Theo's right side but somehow her own daughter had stolen the seat and had even shifted the chair closer to the Theo.
Emily: "Come on mom sit next to me"
Rose was disappointed but the same time asked herself 'When did my daughter get so close to strangers, it must be his charm'
Once everyone had sat down, Theo spoke "Well dig in I made plenty"
Megan and Emily hastily grabbed a pizza, burger and chips. Theo and Rose calmly took a piece of pizza from the plate. Then they all took a bite of what they had decided to taste first.
Everyone on the table except Theo, eyes grew wide with surprise and excitement.
Megan: "Are you sure this is healthy, I mean it's a little too delicious"
Rose on the side was shocked by what she said "You made this? I was gonna ask where you bought it from and their health. I've never tasted anything this good"
Emily, on the other hand, was stuffing her tiny face with everything she could get her hands on.
Theo: "Yes it's healthy but I do have to tell you that it's just like regular food if you eat too much, too fast you will get sick "
Emily who had come to a halt and looked like a scared kitten when she heard what he had said.
Theo: "eat as much as you like just make sure you the chew properly"
Emily's fears of being sick subsided and she continued to stuff her self full. They then tested the smoothie.
Theo: "It's refreshing isn't it"
They nodded cutely and continued to sip their smoothies through a straw. Things calmed down and Rose tried some small talk "So where are you two from and why the move"
Theo: "We're from a small town in England and I moved because of my job and Megan moved with me because she thought it would be fun"
Rose: "Really what's your job?"
Theo felt awkward being asked cause he doesn't have a job "I actually don't have a job I moved for my dream to be a star. What about you, what do you do?"
Rose: "I'm a writer, but what type of star are you going for"
Theo: "I ah..."
Megan: "You're a writer? Theo's a writer as well, you've probably heard of him, he's pretty famous"
