And that’s when the perfect thought hits me. Breakfast! I can surprise Ector with breakfast! Taking a step into the cafe, an old lady greets me with a big smile.
“Hello darling! How can I help you today?”
“Hi! Can I get breakfast for two? Your choice.”
Her smile becomes even brighter, looking more excited than ever. “Ooo okay, give me a moment and I’ll be right back.” She says while walking into her kitchen.
The smell of the building sweeps past my nose, a delicious blend of freshly baked bread, blueberry cookies, and hints of tomato and ham.
After a few minutes of waiting, the wonderful woman comes into sight and walks towards me.
“Here Darling, here is your breakfast basket. I chose my favorites and I hope you’ll love them just as much as I do.”
“Thank you...“
“Loreen!”
“Thank you, Loreen.” I respond with a calm voice and a sweet smile on my lips.
I give her the coins and a tip since she was so kindhearted. Looking down in my bag, I realize that I barely have any coins left.
She hands me the picnic basket full with breakfast, and suddenly I want to dig through it and see what amazing finds will be revealed.
“Please let Ector be asleep so I can surprise him. Please, please, please.” I love the smile on his face, it’s beautiful, it makes me sad that he doesn’t use it very often. So I’m going to do my utmost to make him put the brightest one on display for me.
Flying back to the hotel, I get a chance to see the beautiful city from above.
Arriving at the hotel, I walk into our room as quietly as I possibly can, quickly checking my pocket watch. 7.30 am.
The bedroom door was open when I left, and it hadn’t been touched. Carefully, I walk inside the room only to find him still sleeping.Thank Goddess. He’s lying on his back, sleeping peacefully.
I reach forward and tap his shoulder. “Ector.” He moves but his eyes stay closed. “Ector?” I do the same thing again, and this time he lets out a tired sound while stretching his body.
”Mhm?”
“Rise and shine.” The song leaves my mouth.
He opens his eyes and an extremely sexy grin forms on his lips. “Good morning, sweetheart.”
“Stop calling me that!” I snort at him. “I brought us some breakfast, are you hungry?”
“I don’t know, I just woke up so I haven’t had time to think about that yet.”
I roll my eyes as a response.
“Okay, okay, sweetheart. What food did you bring?”
“I have no idea, I told Loreen to choose for us.”
“And who is Loreen?”
“She’s the owner of The Breakfast Basket.”
His only answer is to look confused.
We start to unpack the basket together, both of us curious about what food we might find inside. Ector grabs a cylinder-shaped...somethingand rips the bright red paper from it.
“I think that’s theLorissa wrap-up. I checked the menu.”
