Bonnie 6:24 a.m.
Bonnie walked out her room and down the hallway to the stairs. Her head was still on her dream and she didn't see Eliot before the two bumped into each other as he was coming up the stairs. Bonnie lost her balance but was caught by Eliot. She was in her arms and the two just stared into each other's eyes. It was liked that for a few seconds until one of them finally spoke up.
"Um…good morning. Didn't take you as a clumsy person.", Eliot said, breaking the silence between them
"Sorry about that. My head's still in bed. What's that smell?", said Bonnie
"Go see for yourself. I'll be down in a minute.", Eliot said before walking away.
Bonnie followed the smell to the kitchen and overjoyed by who she seen.
"Good morning Bam! Ready to eat?" asked Francine while removing some fresh biscuits from the huge oven.
Bonnie's eyes filled with tears at the sight of Francine. Not answering Francine's previous question, she gave her a hug so tight that Francine was slightly gasping for air.
"Um Bonnie…sweetie…your…grip is kind of…tight." She gasped out.
Bonnie laughed and let go but still hold on to her arms, "I'm sorry Franny. I just wasn't sure I would see you again. When did you get here? How did you…"
"All will be explained over breakfast. So let's eat." Francine said, stopping Bonnie in her questioning.
They went to the table where Taylor was already sitting. Bonnie did the same thing she did to Francine to Taylor.
"Bonnie…I'm going to die…if you don't let go!", Taylor said while trying to get out Bonnie's hold. They laughed and sat down at the table. Taylor tried to reach for a piece of bacon but her hand was smacked away by Francine.
"Ma! You said I could eat when Bonnie was at the table!", yelled a very disappointed Taylor.
"I know that but now we have to wait for Kane.", replied Francine
"Wait for what?! He's no one special!" Taylor said, slumping in her seat.
"Hey, I saved your sister's life. I deserve this." Eliot said while taking a seat next to Bonnie.
"Just because you drove the car doesn't mean saved her life.", Taylor answered
"Are you always this crabby in the morning? What's the matter, you miss your cartoons?", replied a smirking Eliot
Before Taylor could respond, Francine stopped their little dispute and told everyone to start eating. There was small talk among them, mainly between the three women. The hitter sat at the table and listened as Francine and Taylor explained how Kelly found them in San Francisco and sent them to New York. Apparently, Kelly felt that if he could find them, so could his enemies. He made them pack some clothes and sent them on his private jet.
"I just can't believe you're here.", started Bonnie, "I'm happy you are, though. Now this isn't a complete disaster."
"I knew you would like your surprise, Bunny."
Everyone looked up from the table see Kelly, J.C., and the injured Jake. Bonnie jumped out her seat gave Kelly a big hug. He returned it with a big kiss on the lips. Eliot, Francine, and Taylor all looked away with slight disgust. They all knew that Kelly loved Bonnie but they also knew what he was like behind close doors.
"Damn Bonnie, can you share some of that love to the injured", said Jake
Bonnie hugged Jake, "Now you know I had to show one of my favorite guys some love. What brought you guys here?"
"Can't a man see his beautiful girlfriend without a reason? Plus, I wanted to make sure Ms. Francine and Ms. Taylor got here safely.", Kelly answered
"Well they did and thank you for doing that."
"Anything for you, Bunny. Now, excuse us everyone. Bonnie and I have some things to talk about."
While Bonnie and Kelly walked away, Francine invited Jake and J.C. to breakfast. Eliot and Jake talked while Jake demolished all the food on his plate. Eliot felt good talking to a familiar face. The last time he seen Jake was a couple of days after California in Miami. He was still in care after being shot in his arm and side. But now he seemed to be feeling better. They were all at the table for about twenty minutes when they decided to clean up. It mainly plates left thanks to Jake. Who knew that such a small person could eat so much. They were all cleaning up in the kitchen when Bonnie and Kelly returned from upstairs. Bonnie seemed normal but in her eyes, she looked overjoyed. Like she'd been given the biggest toy in the store.
"I'm glad you guys are enjoying yourselves but me and the guys have to go. We have some business to finish up in Miami but we'll be back", he looks at Bonnie and gives her a kiss, "Remember what we talked about. I'll be back in a few days."
He said his goodbyes and was on his way to the door with Jake and J.C. All of a sudden, there was a noise at the door. It caught everyone's attention and they all went to the living room. Kelly opened it to a yellow and blue pinstriped box with a huge blue ribbon. Eliot seen the box and told the women to the outside patio. Once they were away, Kelly, Eliot, and Jake stood back as J.C. quickly open the box. He picked up a black dress with the matching gloves and a makeup bag. Underneath that was a picture of Bonnie with her eyes removed and a note that read:
Don't you ever think I can't see you. Underestimating me is not the best way of thinking…
