Breakfast At Shane's (one shot)
I got up this morning a lot earlier than normal, I guess the reason for that was I was slightly anxious; my anxiety was through the roof, I had to calm myself down as Shane had invited me for breakfast at her house this morning.
My mind flashed back to yesterday in the DLO Shane and I were going over some old letters that had come our way, and while we worked she happened to pointed out that now we are in a relationship it was custom to have breakfast together.
She suggested we have breakfast at her house, I agreed; I wouldn't want to pass up an opportunity to spend time with Shane. She seemed to be relieved that I agreed to have breakfast with her.
She then asked for the afternoon off so that she could get a few things for our breakfast the next morning. I agreed and she kissed me on the cheek before she left.
I shook my head and I was back in the present, I then got up I placed my clothes on my bed, had a shower and then I got dressed in what could be considered causal clothing; well casual by my standard.
I then made my way into my kitchen, I looked around; I smiled internally, I lifted my car keys and made my way to Shane's house, I made a stop go pick up a bunch of flowers.
A gentleman never turns up to a lady's house without flowers. I purchased the flowers and I then continued on with my journey.
Once I arrived at Shane's house, I took my time walking up her steps.
I looked over at the porch swing, I smiled again; we have had spent a few evenings on that swing, I've said it before and I'll say it again it always works better with two people sitting on it.
I knocked on her door, and I waited patiently for Shane to open it; I looked up as I heard the door open, I was then greeted with the most beautiful sight on this earth.
I watched as Shane opened her door further and my goodness she was a sight to behold; I smiled as I let my gaze drift down to what she was wearing. It's not often that Shane wears jeans and a sweater. However she is always stunning, I looked at her and I smiled.
"Good morning Shane, thank you for inviting me to breakfast this morning, these are for you my love"
I handed her the flowers, she smiled as she took them. I could see a faint blush form on her cheeks.
"You're very welcome Oliver, come on in; and thank you for the flowers, they are beautiful. Are you ready for breakfast?"
We made our way into Shane's house, once inside I noticed that her home was modest; it was very homely, the walls were painted light grey. I then noticed her furniture in her living room was the same colour as her hallway.
However not everything was grey, she had wall canvases with yellow flowers painted on them, and her cushions matched the canvases. It was a lovely way to have some colour in her home.
We walked into the kitchen, she took out a vase; she filled it with water and she then placed the flowers in it. She led me to the table, our breakfast was sitting on the table, every item of food had its own plate.
I pulled out her chair so that she could sit down, I then sat down in the opposite chair. I thanked her again as I took in the bounty of food that seemed to take up a lot of room on her table.
The breakfast included, bacon, eggs, buttermilk pancakes, and pastries ranging from danishes, to croissants, there were various jams and there was butter too. I then noticed there was a pitcher of orange juice, a jug of apple juice and I also noticed a Yoo Hoo sitting on the table.
She went to get some glasses from her cupboard, I stood up and I offered to get them for her.
"Shane you have gone to so much trouble making this breakfast, please allow me to get the glasses"
She smiled at me, she then sat back down; once I retrieved the glasses, I sat back down at the table. I reminded myself to thank her again once we had eaten.
We ate our breakfast, we made light conversation throughout our meal. I will have to up the ante for our next date. Don't get me wrong I am thankful for Shane making breakfast this morning, however I must return the favour soon.
"Shane my love that was a delectable feast, I enjoyed every bite. We should do this more often, it was delightful spending the morning with you"
There was that blush again, I made a mental note of how her blush appears. She looked at me and she smiled.
"You're welcome Oliver, I'm glad you liked it; and I hope we can do this more often. I liked cooking for you this morning"
We ended up spending the whole Saturday together, I couldn't have asked for a better day, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and I had Shane, the absolute love of my life.
What more could a man want?
