I got up early to watch the sunrise. We will drive back home around 10 and I'm excited to go home too. I stood on the same spot like yesterday and I took out my phone ready to record sunrise. I pressed record.
"I'm surprised to see you here." I turned to see Ares joining me.
"I want to see the sunrise." I said as I kept my phone steady. I looked straight to the horizon and a small point of light. I smiled seeing it.
"Have you record it?" He asked.
"Yes." I said and he suddenly took over my phone. He gestured me to walk to the front and he me from behind. My eyes glued to the sun slowly rising.
"Are you taking pictures too?" I asked.
"Pictures cost extra."
"I'll pay you with food later.." I said sighing.
"Okay." I stood there until the sun already up in the sky.
"Thank you." I turned around and he nodded. He gave my phone back and I stood next to him.
"You often come here with your family?"
"Yeah, we love to come here." Lucky him. I love this place so much that I hoped that I could here again.
"Ready for breakfast?" He asked.
"You cook?"
"No, I'm taking you somewhere.." He put his hand in front of me and I grabbed me. We walked to the house hand in hand. He grabbed the car key and since everyone is still sleeping, it's the two of us.
He drove to town and we stopped at Nicole's breakfast. There's a lot of people inside the already. They have a lot of breakfast menu from all over the world.
"Let's order. What do you want?" He asked as we looked at the menu.
"I'm craving pancake and some french toast." I said.
"Okay." He called the waiter and he ordered the food.
"This is my grandpa's favorite place, he always ordered bacon pancake." He looked out the .
"You're close to him?"
"Yeah, pretty close."
"How is he like?" I asked and he turned to me. He looked at me with an unreadable expression.
"He's.. he is a really good person. I look up to him a lot. I can say that he's everything to me and I wanted is to make him proud."
"I bet he's proud of you. Not only him, your parents and Lily are proud of you." I smiled and he his body back to the seat.
"If he's here, I bet he would drag me and you to church. He'll love you." He said and I chuckled.
"Good to know that I met his standards." I said and he nodded. The food came pretty quick and I him from eating first. I took some pictures of the food and then Ares with the food.
"Eat up.." I said and he started to dig in. I took a bite and my eyes widen.
"This is so good.. what the.." I said as I cut a piece and gave it to him. He nodded.
"Wanna try mine?" He asked.
"Yes, please!" I said and he gave me a bite. I glared at him because his food is definitely .
"Why is it.. better than.. mine.." I pouted.
"We can share, Athena." He said as he put the plate in the middle. We shared all the food and I the bill on me. I thanked him for the food because I will comeback here for sure.
"Wanna get some coffee? I bet everyone's in the house needs it.." Ares suggested and I .
"Sure." Ares walked into the coffee shop first when my phone rang. I took it out from my pocket it's Raymond.
"Hello." I picked up.
"Hi, Athena. How are you?"
"Hey, I'm good. How about you?"
"I'm great. I was just wondering when will you be available.. you know.."
"Teach you how to make lasagna, yes. I'm actually opening my restaurant tomorrow. So how you come next week to my new restaurant?"
"That would be great, can you let me know the address?" He asked.
"Sure, I'll text you."
"What time will the opening be? Can I come?"
"Oh of course! Please do come.. and rate my food. It's in the house for you! The opening will be 3."
"Great, I'll show up. Thanks, Athena."
"Welcome." I ended the call and walked into the coffee shop. Ares was already glaring at me, it's he's pissed or something.
"What?"
"Who's that?" He asked.
"Who?"
"The one who called you.."
"It's Raymond." I said.
"Why is he calling?" He raised his eyebrows and I looked at him disbelief.
"Are you jealous? I thought we removed the number 23?"
"I'm not jealous, I'm just asking.."
"He asked me to teach him how to make lasagna for his mom. She's Italian.."
"That's flirting.."
"Whatever." I said and his coffee ordered already done. I helped him by holding onto 3 cups.
"Let's go."
