Chapter 0231

Gavin: Sorry I couldn’t come over last night. I’d like to see you tonight though. Dinner tonight?

I couldn’t help the smile that lit up my face. I pressed the reply button and typed out my own message.

Me: That sounds great!

I pressed send and then I quickly got out of bed. I didn’t bother changing out of my pajamas as I left my room and went down the stairs and towards the kitchen. My stomach was growling considering I hadn’t eaten last night. I hoped Chester was well enough to cook breakfast; if not, I guess I’ll just have to cook it myself.

I was honestly surprised when I saw him hard at work in the kitchen. There was no one else with him though. I glanced around the kitchen, wondering where the kitchen adds were but when I didn’t see them, my eyes found Chester’s. He had paused his movements behind the counter, and I could see that he was contemplating asking me something, but then he changed his mind and turned his attention back to what he was doing.

“Where is everybody?” I asked as I walked towards the breakfast nook and took a seat.

“I told them I wanted some space today and to take the day off,” he told me, without even glancing in my direction.

I watched him as he moved effortlessly around the kitchen

“Is everything okay?” I asked, raising my brows at him.

He finished plating the food and then he slid it across the counter and in my direction. He was quiet as he walked over to the coffee pot and started to pour some into a mug for me. At first, I didn’t think he was going to answer my question. But then he brought me the coffee, along with the sweeteners and cream, and he leaned against the counter, looking defeated.

“Can I ask you a question?” He asked.

I nodded and started to sweeten my coffee and poor cream into the black elixir.
