I woke up with mindset of plans, if I decide to move out I need a job to supply my necessities.
So I get out of bed and clean it up then take a shower. I get out of my room and plan to make myself a coffee and breakfast but then when I glance in the dining table, there once again newly cook food covered. I almost jumped on my toes when suddenly someone talk at my back.
"Good morning.. breakfast is ready, though I'm not so sure if it fits your liking.." say's by the person sitting in the sala so busy sorting his things.
"Good morning Unc...Nick.." her quick change of honorific, when Nick look at her when she supposed to mention 'uncle' again.
So I go made myself my own coffee, I was about to offer him a cup but I see he already have and there where also ready coffee in the coffee maker machine. So I just poor my own cup and open the food covers, I was not planning to eat breakfast but the smell is so tempting.
"Wahhh..." I burst out and drop my jaw when I see the 'breakfast' he prepared.
It's not the simple breakfast I'm expecting, there's cut fresh fruits, fresh bake frittata with potato and prosciutto, chorizo torta, cinnamon roll bread pudding which made my saliva run wild, then there is also the typical breakfast she 'was' expecting french toast, bacon, sausage & sunnyside up eggs. I did not realize myself already seated and holding my utensils ready to attack the food in front of me. I felt heaven in my first bite of cinnamon roll bread pudding, goodness I kinda give up my plan of moving out if I will wake up every day tasting this. I'm so busy savoring the precious food in my plate that I have no care about the two men enjoyed watching me, it's like by just watching me they are already full.
I finally satisfied my tummy though my mouth still want to continue eating.
"Done eating.." said by Bennie who finally decide to set down and eat.
"I really still want to eat but my tummy say's stop.." I said to him while holding my tummy, which he laugh.
"Nick, I love it.. thanks for the breakfast.." I said while I stand up and I turn his way and give him a sweet smile.
"I'm glad it hits your appetite my dear.." his response after he look at me for a while.
I felt a sudden blush in his way of endearment, I don't know if he intend to say it without malice or he just says it to make me feel at ease to him, either both I just skip it for now.
"Ohhh yeah!.. I almost forgot, Benedict & I talk about the construction of the house that I'll be moving in if it's done, would you like to share your talents and decide the interior design of the house, you can talk it out with Bennie since he will be planning the building structure.." his invitation afterwards.
"Really!! I would love too.. since it will be my first project.." my excitement take over me, and hug Bennie.
It would be there first collaboration project, with my sudden outburst, Bennie turned his head looking at me with a smudged of food around his mouth, his expression though are blank not mad, which is, instead of feeling guilty, I burst out laughing at his appearance. I did forgot he was currently eating, good thing he just holding the Chorizo Torta with his hands not with a fork, I can't imagine what would have happened.
I pick up a tissue and wipe his mouth for him, I can't stop laughing while saying sorry to him. His expression change into gaze so I stop laughing, I wonder if his upset now. When finally clean up the mess I made on his face and hands I seriously apologize and use my sweet apologetic look. He signed and sip his coffee then continue eating. I glance Nick, whom a trace of amusement in his face.
I sat down again and wait for Bennie to be finish. He finally wipe his mouth then stand up bringing the use plate including hers in the sink he already starting washing it while I still cleaning the table and transfer the food in food container to put in the fridge. Nick can't help watching them move in synchronize, like they were really like siblings. He now understand why his son so close with this woman, she knows how to handle Benedict's temper, that he himself tried to tame.
After they clean up they gather in the sala to talk about the plan in the house, which end up visiting the site where the house will be built.
Layla enjoyed the scenery of the area, it's kinda rural landscape with economic and cultural qualities that are, a finite and dwindling resource that they will try to preserve, to still have a nature touch. They have agreed to make Mid-Century Modern design with the mixture of scandinavian interior design which I personally pick up.
Since I can't finalize my view of design cause I still need the exact floor design, I let them plan it out first. I walk back in the car, I choose to sit in the backseat cause I felt sleepy due to the beautiful scenery filled me with a sense of serenity.
