Bo's POV – 3 Weeks Later – My Angel's Bakery – Afternoon
"Kenzi! Vex, guess wha-" I was just about to walk into the bakery's storage room to tell them the good news about all my business permits finally going through when Kenzi's frantic, rambling tone stopped me in my tracks right in front of the storage room door.
I know you shouldn't eavesdrop but sometimes you just can't help it.
"I don't know what to do, Vex! What do I do? How do I always end up in the middle of those two? What should I do? What would you do!?"
"First, if I were ya I would take a deep breath. Actually…I'd take a few deep breaths if I were ya. Look pet, honestly, you're overthinking it. Don't worry about it, just go on with your life and everything will happen in its own way. Stressing about it won't do anything but give ya an ulcer. Besides, knowing those two it'll happen sooner rather than later so you just got to wait it out and the best advice I can give ya for that is to not think about it. If anything, ya should see it as an honor cause' they wanted ya to be a part of that very special and very important event in their lives. It's truly an honor that ya were there for each event. So, see it as that and nothing more. Otherwise, you're just going to drive yourself crazy like ya already are right now."
"You're right but-"
"No buts, calm down. Stop making a mountain out of a molehill. Now breathe…"
"Bu-"
"Breathe, now…I'm waiting…" There was a moment of silence leading me to believe that Kenzi did what Vex told her to.
I know I should stop eavesdropping at some point. But, I would really like to know what they're talking about and I feel like if I walk in there then they'll stop talking about whatever they're talking about. So, in other words, curiosity has got the best of me.
I blame Lauren for making curiosity such a strong characteristic of mine. I got my curious nature from her after all.
Okay, okay, I admit it. I had a curious mind way before I even met Lauren which is why everyone always said I should be a reporter
…Which is why I am a reporter now…just as everyone predicted I would be.
"Better now?"
"…Yeah and you're right about me overthinking it, thanks Vex."
"No problem, pet. Now, I must take my leave. I have a double date for lunch."
"No way! With who? I didn't even know you were seeing anyone."
"This guy I met through Dyson. His name is Hale and this is still fairly new, it's only our third date and it's not really serious yet so I didn't think about introducing him to anybody yet."
"Oh, well what other couple are you going with? Does Dyson have a…"
I hear Vex chuckle. "When are you going to grow a pair and just tell Dyson that ya like him? You've liked him for almost a month now and the double date is with Evony and Tamsin."
"WHAT!?" Kenzi and I exclaimed in unison, which effectively made them aware of my presence behind the door, which caused me to blush in embarrassment as I revealed myself to them. "Sorry guys, I, uh, I didn't mean to be eavesdropping. I was actually just on my way in here to tell you guys that I finally got my letters today saying that I finally got all my permits to run the bakery!"
"THAT'S AWESOME BOLICIOUS! That's great pet!" Their equally enthusiastic statements made me burst with laughter especially when my besties almost literally knocked me off my feet when they both threw themselves at me with a giant group hug.
"Thanks guys, so apparently the whole thing was genuinely a mixture of clerical and post office errors." As soon as the group hug ended Kenzi started doing the happy dance while screaming, "Free cupcakes for life! Free baked goods for life, bitches!"
I laughed again, "Kenzi, you get my baked goods for free now. Man, that sounds so dirty…"
Kenzi turned around with the hop as she kept shaking her hips and waving arms with happiness. "Yes, but now it's even sweeter because I get stuff for free that other people will have to pay for in the near-future and get your mind out of LoLo's naughty bits!"
Vex chuckled from his position next to me with his arms crossed. "I think we should go celebrate later tonight with the rest of the gang." I shook my head in disagreement before glancing between both of them with my explanation.
"I can't, Mother's Day is coming up soon and Lauren and I can't figure out what to do for them. So, we decided to stay in and brainstorm tonight since Lauren loves to have everything planned out in advance. But, it's hard because they're not materialistic at all and we want to do more than just have dinner together."
Lauren's POV – 4 Weeks Later – Mother's Day – Condo – Afternoon
"Babe, let's go. You know we shouldn't be late." Bo appeared from seemingly out of nowhere when she suddenly yet gently wrapped her arms around my waist from behind, nuzzling my neck. "Mmm...I'm ready whenever you are but I'm assuming you're ready since we're by the front door."
I chuckled as I placed my hands over hers. "You are correct. Now, let's go see Avengers: Infinity War as our crazy mothers requested for their Mother's Day gift. It's so weird how much they have in common. I still can't believe we had to be squeezed in to see our mothers on Mother's Day and this is what they wanted to do with us today. Our parents are so weird and I still can't believe they have more of a social life than we do."
"I know, it's so weird. I mean I'm glad they stay busy but, we're their daughters and it's Mother's Day and yet, we only get just enough time for a movie with them. It's so weird!"
1 Hour Later – IPic Theaters
They only have time for a movie?
Fine.
Then I'll just turn it into the movie of their choice and dinner at the same time, which is why Ipic Theaters is the perfect destination for our mothers on Mother's Day. This theater literally has everything we need; genuine brown leather recliners with little tables attached to them and they are so roomy that Bo and I are cuddling together in one chair and we still have room to spare.
Too bad we still had to pay for four seats. But, at least we got one of the back rows since the four of us never understood the big deal about sitting in the front rows or even the middle rows. We've just always felt like we're going blind when we don't sit in one of the back rows.
Anyway, one of the other great things about this theater is that it also has a full menu, a wine menu and they even make sure each chair has a blanket and pillow.
Huh, I wonder if anyone else has ever wondered if this theater makes you pay $16 per ticket just to put you to sleep by making you too comfortable, causing you to miss the movie that you paid to see in the first place.
"Babe, did you hear me? Do you want anything? I'm going to hit the button for a server to come take our dinner and drink orders. Do you want any appetizers? Man, I love this theater, you literally only need to get up if you need the restroom, use your phone or something like that. It's so awesome."
I chuckled and gave Bo a quick kiss on the lips. Bo has been here several times now and the upscale movie experience always excites and amazes her. Only Bo could ooze adorable excitement in a whispering tone where the only sources of light is a giant movie screen and the small portable lights attached to the chair's tables so you can read the menus that were sitting on each chair's table.
"I'll take 2 slices of pepperoni pizza an-"
"Hey, that's what I was going to get too babe." I chuckled at Bo's adorable excitement yet again. God, I love this adorable yet sexy woman so much.
"Lauren dear, that sounds great to me and Aife too. Why don't you just order a large pepperoni pizza for the four of us." I looked over at my mother sitting next to me and gave her a smile and nod. "Okay, sounds good. Now, what about appetizers?"
All three women shook their heads no to appetizers at the same time. I nodded, "…Okay, what about a drink? I'm going to get me a glass of red wine."
"Me too."
"That sounds good to me and Aife too, dear."
I shook my head and rolled my eyes teasingly at the 3 most important women in my life as I pressed the silent call button on my chair to order for all of us. "Sure guys, totally steal my order." I teased with a light chuckle.
I just hope this is really what they want and they're not just trying to avoid whispering too much. Aife hasn't said a word to me directly because she's at the end of the row next to my mother and she doesn't want to disturb the other viewers if she doesn't have to. But come on, this is the movie theater and people whisper in movie theaters all the time especially in this one because the servers have to take your order if you want anything.
Hours Later
The movie/dinner went great. We all enjoyed the pizza and wine as we watched the movie which made our mothers jump a few times because they're both naturally a tad jumpy. Bo jumped a couple times too. But, that was just an excuse to deepen our cuddling embrace which is something that I'm always all for, especially since we're trying to keep our kisses to minimum in respect to our mothers and their special day. Needless to say trying to keep our kisses to minimum caused us to cuddle up so close and so deeply into each other that our almost matching black t-shirts and blue jeans practically looked like they've become one oddly designed outfit.
"Well thank you again for our Mother's Day gift, girls. It was great! Leave it to you Lauren to find a way to mash dinner and a movie together." I chuckled at a smiling Aife. "I'm just glad you guys had a nice time."
"Yeah, but next time can you guys pick something a little more extravagant and give us more than 4 hours of your time on Mother's Day considering we are the reasons you two are mothers." My mother chuckled at Bo's not so subtle scolding that had a hint of poutiness to it.
"Bo, honey, the bill was over $200 due to wine refills and the cheesecake we had for dessert. I believe that was extravagant enough since we are not materialistic women and you know this. But, you're right, next year we will make you our top priority on Mother's Day. But, remember, it's Mother's Day. Mothers and what they want take priority on this day."
My mother put her hands on Bo's arms lovingly, getting ready to embrace Bo into a hug no doubt. "Honey, we didn't mean to do this to you two. But, we honestly forgot that it was Mother's Day to begin with, which is easy to do since you two are our daughters. You and Lauren always show us your appreciation and you guys always make time for us. You two make everyday feel like Mother's Day for us since you two show us how important we are to you two every single day."
Bo started tearing up at mother's words and in a blink of an eye Bo tackled my mother in a bear tight hug. But my mother just smiled and hugged her back immediately. And then the next thing I knew, Aife and I were happily pulled into a tight group hug.
"We love you guys but we got to get going. We're going to a yacht party!" Bo and I chuckled at Aife's excitement as the group hug ended. "Okay, okay, get going you two. We love you both."
"Yeah, what Bo said." I shooed our parents away teasingly. "Happy Mother's Day!" Bo and I shouted off to our mothers once more as they walked away together.
Once they were out of earshot Bo and I looked at each other with smiles on our faces. "So…"
"So…" I repeated teasingly which earned me a loose embrace around my waist and a soft kiss on my lips. "Wanna go watch another movie but not really watch it and make out like horny teenagers instead?" I chuckled before grinning ear-to-ear as we link our hands together and walked back into the movie theater.
"Absolutely."
