"hey Break?" Sharon mumbled, her finger trailing the button of his shirt in thought, her eyes resting on the spot where, underneath his shirt, the incuse sat bold to the eye. His fingers ghosting up and down her side, sending warm tingles through her body. "Hmm?" He hummed in response, his lips pressed to the top of her head, his arm tightening around her frame in order to keep her closer to himself. "Would you come and meet my grandmother? I'm sure she would be thrilled to get to meet you!" Sharon gulped, praying he would be deaf to her racing heart. why it was such a big deal to her, she didn't really know, but it was just something about introducing Break to the woman that had been like a motherly figure to her,, raising her up by herself ever after she lost her mum that was of importance to Sharon. "So she can bite my head off? Why Sharon, have you grown tired of me already?" Break chuckled and Sharon arched an eyebrow , lifting her head up from his chest in order to sit up. "What?" She giggled, genuinely confused, but Break shrugged his shoulders and looked up at the girl straddling him with a straight face, "meeting the parents is always terrifying. They put you in the hot seat and it's like walking in a minefield!" Break closed his eye and seemed to cringe just by the sheer thought of it but opened it when he heard a "tch" from on top of him,

'way to go Break, now you've made her mad'

He indignantly thought and was about to roll his eye and push the overly sensitive girl off of him before her received a smack from the harisen, but what Sharon did next- Break had never expected. She laughed. Whatever for? Her whole body shook with laughter and Break looked at her, confusion written all over his face. "What?" Break snorted; butt hurt. And Sharon wiped a tear from the corner of her eye, a hand placed on Break's chest to support her body. "I can't believe that the great, brave and careless Xerxes Break has the scare for parents!" She was able to choke out and the image of an uncomfortable and awkward Break was more than the 23 year old could handle, so she laughed harder, almost boisterously. "Oh so you want something to laugh at, do you?!" Break interrupted her laughing fits as he slipped his hands behind Sharon's knees, yanking them back as he sat up, all in a swift movement which resulted in Sharon landing on her back in the couch with Break hovering over her. "P-please don't!" Sharon whimpered, out of breath from all her laughing prior. "Sorry princess, it's a little too late for your pleads now!" He chirped, re-leaching his inner sadist as his fingers attacked her sides, making Sharon squirm and curl underneath him. "B-Break! n-O! Ahhaha, stop i-it you clown!" She said in between giggles and Break laughed along, her laughter was just so damned cute and not to mention contagious! "Say I'm the best!" He yelled to overcome her frantic giggles and gasps and she gave immediately."you're the best, you're the best!" She yelled out of breath, trying to swat his hands away but to no avail. "Promise me you will bake cookies!" He kept taking advantage of the situation, almost against his better sense and tears leaked from her tightly shut eyes, "I will, I will! Oh God, I give! I GIVE!" She kept giggling a little after he stopped tickling her. A satisfied smile on his lips looking at her bloodshot face and wide smile, his fingers reached out to her face to brush some of her bangs out of her face, "you did good kiddo." He chuckled and she playfully slapped his shoulder "shut your pipe and don't say such misleading things!" She laughed before he overlapped her lips with his own. Sharon smiled into the kisses he deepened it, they pulled back a few seconds later and Break rested his forehead against hers, his breath fanning her cheek as he mumbled "arrange a meeting with your grandmother and get your lazy arse to the kitchen-you're on cookie duty." He grinned and Sharon's heartbeat that had started to simmer down, returned full throttle at the sight.

"yessir!"


"Nan! There's someone I'd like you to meet!" Sharon announced excitedly as she opened the door to their home, Break's hand mindlessly tightening around hers as she guided him inside. "Oh really? Who is it?" Cheryl wheeled into the hallway, smiling appreciative at the two. "Nan, this is Xerxes Break! Break this is my grandmother, Cheryl Rainworth!" Sharon placed a hand on Break's shoulder and smiled at her grandmother and as Break leaned forward to shake Cheryl's hand, she squinted her eyes at him, "oh so you're the one that have abducted my granddaughter? I hope she have behaved." She said teasingly- a blush rising to Break's cheeks as he sputtered. "Oh relax son, I was merely joking! I'm glad sharon found such a fine young man such as yourself!"she smiled gently and Break's cool returned. "Well for that I'm grateful Cheryl-sama, and as for the behaving part I can assure you; she have not." He joked and sent Sharon a look from over his shoulder, a smile which she returned. Cheryl laughed candidly and indicated for Break to follow her in to the living room.

Thinking that Break was in good hands and more comfortable, Sharon went to the kitchen. She filled the kettle with tea and as she opened the fridge she knitted her eyebrows in confusion. There were at least three cartons of milk, four jars of the same jam, two full boxes of butter and other groceries of the unnecessary number. Sharon shrugged it off an sighed as she filled a saucer with milk, a container of sugar, the kettle and balanced it all on a serving plate, bringing it out to the living room where Break and Cheryl was lost in idle chatter. "Milk? But I thought we were out of milk? I was going to do some grocery shopping today?" Cheryl looked at her confused an Sharon shook her head. "Nan...you've got three cartons of milk in the fridge." a silence stretched whilst her grandmother looked at her in utter confusion. "No. Don't be absurd, I can distinctively remember that there was no milk left in the fridge." Cheryl said stubbornly, Sharon had already served the tea and Break was busy pouring sickening amounts of sugar in his cup, knowing better than to interfere with the couple of Rainsworth women if they were anything alike. Suddenly Sharon got up and rushed out of the living room with much more dramatic flair than needed and returned with the cartons of milk. She arched an eyebrow at the older Rainsworth as if to say 'told you so'. Cheryl suddenly seemed very uncomfortable and huffed, picking up her cup of tea and brought it to her lips and their argument ended at that note


"Thank you for having me, Cheryl-sama, it was nice finally meeting you." Break said sincerely as he shook Cheryl's hand and Cheryl smiled sweetly at him in return "the pleasure is on my side, Break, please do come back to visit!" She said merrily "and take care of my granddaughter," she added with a wink and Break chuckled, moving to the side so that Sharon could give her grandmother a parting hug. "I will be back Wednesday, Nan! Sure you will be okay 'till then?" Sharon smiled and Cheryl patted her cheek gently, "of course dear, I'll see you then." She cooed and waved the young couple off, locking the door behind them.

Cheryl wheeled into the living room and looked at the clock on the wall sighing unsatisfied. "The grocery store will be closing soon; I guess I will have to buy milk tomorrow instead..." She mumbled to herself as she picked up her favourite novel from the coffee table, opening it at the page she left off, "I can't really remember reading this, I'll just read it from the top again." She smiled contently and started re-reading the chapter once more.
