Chapter 3 chicken soup
Max took one of the microwave made chicken soup bags and poured its content into a mug. Next, he poured the boiling water into the mug and stirred
"Wake Ben up" he said
"Ben?" Gwen said as she put her hand on Ben's cheek
"Ben we made some quick made chicken soup for you. It'll help you feel better"
Ben groaned and his eyes narrowed. He opened them with a few blinks, and with that, he was awake. He sat up as Max handed him the mug full of soup
"How you feeling Ben?" He asked
"A little better now. Thanks"
"Good. Drink up. It'll warm you up" said his caring grandfather as his sick grandson took a sip of the hot soup and his moaned in delight
"Oh... That tastes good..."
"Drink more. It'll warm you up good" said Max as Ben obeyed and his grandfather went to prepare a mug of soup for himself
After a few moments of awkward silence Gwen said
"It's good to have you back Ben" she smiled and after a moment's hesitation, she gave him a kiss on the cheek. When he felt Gwen's lips on his skin he could feel his cheeks becoming red and knew it wasn't the soup...
The next morning everyone slept in including Gwen. She fell asleep on Ben's bed. When Max woke up it was eleven o'clock and he found his grand kids sleeping peacefully beside each other. He smiled at the sight as he climbed to the driver's seat and drove to the nearest supermarket to buy to ingredients for real chicken soup.
The two kids awoke to the sound of something sizzling on the gas burner and to something smelling good
"Oh man something smells good..." Said Ben
"That's your grandma's chicken soup Ben"
"But I thought you cook only the weird stuff"
"Naw that's just a hobby of mine. I can cook normal food"
"Sweet! When is it gonna be ready?" Asked Ben as Max tasted the soup and said
"Right now" and turned off the flame
"Yay!" Said Gwen
"Alright! I'm starving!" Said Ben and got from up from the bed and tried to walk to the table but stumbled over and fell.
"Ben!" Said Gwen in concern as she rushed to his aid. She kenlt beside and put his arm around her shoulder
"Are you okay? Can you get up?"
"Yeah I'm fine I just got a little carried away there..."
"Alright just don't get ahead of yourself" she said as she lifted him up and helped him walk to the table
"Try to get down to that chair... Easy now..." She said as she helped him sit down by the table as Max put three bowls of soup down on the table along with a separate bowl with some some turkey necks and vegetables in it. Before long everyone was eating a eating a second bowl of soup and couldn't be enjoying it more...
