Family Dinner

Lucienne pov

"Morning, Hopey!" 

I greet the tribrid who is leaning her side on the doorframe while covering her body with a blanket. "I woke up without you," she said. I flip the pancake easily then pour the milkshake, "my bad. Forgive me, milady." I place the three stacks of pancake to the plate and make a Halo and fang from the whipped cream before I put it on the counter, "peace offering for my lady, seeing I made her exhausted from last night even."

She shook her head amused while I place her milkshake beside her plate, "apology accepted," she replied. "I need to change first," she spun around to get clothes. "You don't need to, milady!" I shouted. "It's not like I haven't seen you naked," I added as she flips me a middle finger. "We can get naked together while having breakfast, I don't mind too!" I continue before she went to our room.

"Love you too, you ray ball of sunshine!"

"So, why do we need to bring two red wines for the dinner?" Hope asked as she unfold the paper bag.

"Those beautiful ripe flavours called Vega Sicilia, it is is a blend of 94% tempranillo with 6% cabernet sauvignon, aged six years in oak prior to bottling, remaining another four years in the bottle before being released," I answered. "Correction. One for us and one for the chaos that will happen in family dinner."

We arrived at Linda's and Amenadiel's place, I sigh and turn to look at Hope. "You sure you want to do this? We could move somewhere else and have our private dinner," I asked, offering her a second option. She rests her hand above mine, locking her fingers with mine. She nods her head, "can you, at least, try to be civil with Michael? I know you're planning something evil for him." I smirked at her and how my other hand that makes a finger cross symbol, "for you, love. I'll be at my best behaviour," I wink at her before we step out of the car.

I found Luce's car parking next to mine as I hold my hand out to Hope to take, "you do realize that we're late, right??" Hope said, linking her hand to mine. "Did we?" I asked her back, playfully. "A wise person, once, said and I quote, "it's better late than not at all." She rolled her eyes and pull me closer to her so she can kiss my lips. "I love this needy side of yours, Hopeless " I commented before pushing the door open without knocking.

"Greeting family!" I said with my booming voice.
