A/N.: So this is chapter 3, I hope you'll like it and maybe feel like leaving me a little review? :D
Chapter 3:
As the morning arrived, warm rays of sun shone through the curtains an awoke Peter, who as he remembered the events of the night before, smiled down at Megan, who was still asleep, snuggled to his chest. Carefully he moved out of bed, trying to be as quiet as possible, so that he wouldn't wake Megan. He went into the kitchen to prepare their breakfast, he cut some fruits, made pancakes and coffee, put them on a tray and went to the bedroom to wake Megan.
He kissed her forehead, her cheeks and then whispered in her ear: "Good morning, Megan, time to wake up." This time he kissed her lips. Slowly Megan began to stretch and opened her eyes "Mmh, do I get to be awakened like this more often from now on?" she smiled and leaned in to share a kiss with Peter. He smirked "I think we could work out some kind of agreement." She laughed "I'm sure we will, now do I smell pancakes?" she asked astonished. "Yes you are, I made some breakfast for us." he took the tray and placed it on her lap. "Oh Peter, that's so sweet of you, it looks delicious." she kissed his cheek.
They ate in companionable silence until the ringing of the doorbell interrupted their comfortable morning. Megan groaned and looked at her alarm-clock, which showed 9 a.m. "Whoever that is should have a pretty damn good reason to show up this early"she muttered. Peter silently chuckled at her annoyed behavior. Megan quickly put on a short silk dressing gown and went to open the door. The door revealed none other than...
"Good morning, darling, I brought us breakfast." The person took Megan's appearance in and noticed she was still in her nightwear "Oh I didn't wake you, did I?" Megan forced a smile "No you didn't and I've already had breakfast, so having breakfast seems a little pointless, sorry." she said sarcastically. "Well we could at least have a little talk and spend some time together." Joan said as she was getting rather suspecting, Megan sighed "Mother, I'm really not up to this right now, could you just..." Joan let herself in and took a seat at the kitchen counter, Megan paused a little at her mother's outrageous actions "And now you're in my apartment,"she muttered "But seriously Mom, I'm not in the mood, can't we do this another time?" Joan looked at Megan "Please Megan, it's been so long since we've spend some time together, you know I do miss you." she admitted. Megan's eyes softened a little at her mother's unusual admission "Mom, I really appreciate that, but this just isn't a good time, you could come later on or I could meet you somewhere." Megan was getting slightly nervous, because she didn't want her mother to find out about her and Peter yet. "Alright Megan, I know you won't give in, so I guess I'll be coming back in a few hours.." Megan felt relieved "Thanks Mom, how about 1 o'clock? We could have lunch together." Joan smiled "Okay, see you in a few hours." Megan and Joan went back to the front door "Bye, darling." "Bye, Mom."
After Megan's mother had left the apartment Megan leaned against the door and breathed a sigh of relief. Coming back she found Peter waiting for her.
"Who was it?" Megan rolled her eyes "My mother. She came in and wanted to spend time with me." Peter looked at her expectantly "How did you manage making her leave?" Megan sighed "Well, I told her that I wasn't up to it and finally had to give in a little by telling her she could come back at 1 o'clock for lunch." Peter chuckled "Lucky us, I guess. Your mother discovering me laying on your bed in my boxers would have certainly killed the mood." Megan flashed a sexy smile "Yeah, but I, on the other hand like what I see, mister." she said while leaning in and covering his mouth with hers. She was laying half on top of him, when he suddenly flipped them over, making her squeal "Peter!" He smiled at her cheekily and she pecked him on the lips "As much as I enjoy this- we should get up, so we can get ready for the day and still have some time for us before my mother comes back." Peter smiled at her "I guess you're right and I certainly intend on spending time with you." he kissed her to emphasize his words. "Alright, let's go."
After brushing their teeth and in Megan's case putting on some make-up, Megan and Peter got changed into their day clothes- Peter in casual jeans and a white T-shirt and Megan in a beautiful plum-colored dress which ended a little above her knees.
They cleaned up the remainders of their breakfast and proceeded to snuggle up on Megan's couch and softly talk and laugh amongst them, when Peter's gaze fell to the clock on Megan's wall.
"Uhh, Megs isn't your mother due to arrive at 1 o'clock?" Megan stopped smiling "Crap, I totally forgot about that. How late is it?" Peter smiled at her "Don't worry, it's half past twelve, but I should probably get going, as much as I would love to stay."
Peter grabbed his belongings and put on his coat and shoes. "Bye Megan." Peter said while he hugged her. "Bye Peter." She answered, kissing him. "Give me a call later?" Megan smiled "Of course." Peter kissed her again "I'm looking forward to it. Love you." She smiled widely at him "Love you too. Bye Peter." With one last kiss she closed the door, smiling like a dreamily.
Stop smiling Megan, you're behaving like a teenager-now get ready or you'll be busted right away!
Pulling herself together she put on her favorite black high-heels and some lipstick. Just as she was finished she heard the doorbell ring. Here we go...she thought. Though her relationship to her mother had definitely progressed, she was still a bit cautious.
"Hello darling!" Joan said. Megan smiled "Hi Mom, would you mind eating out?" Joan smiled "No, not at all." Megan was relieved "Alright, I'll fetch my bag and coat and then we're ready to go."
They drove to a nice restaurant, Le Petit Français, where Megan and Joan both ordered a salad and water.
"So how's work?" Joan asked to begin the conversation. Megan chewed on her salad and then answered "The usual, caught the killer and put him in jail."
"Well that's good news and how's Lacey doing?"
Megan smiled "She's doing fine, got an A+ on her art project and remember the science test she was so scared of? She got a B, I'm really proud of her."
Joan smiled at her daughter "Did you help her studying for that test?"
Megan grinned "Yeah, but I didn't really need to help her that much..."
Joan smiled at her daughter's modesty, Lacey had told her how much Megan had to explain to her, 'cause she didn't understand. "That's great. You two have come so far in the last few months, I'm proud of you." Megan felt tears come to her eyes, but blinked them away, she couldn't remember the last time her mother said that to her. "You didn't say that for a long time, thanks Mom."
They continued to talk and left a while after they finished eating. Never noticing the man that had watched them the whole time. He wished he could be close to them, but he had to wait for the right moment, until then, watching them from afar had to be enough.
TBC... although it would be pretty nice if you left me a review to tell me whether I should keep posting new chapters... :)
