"Liza, when do we get to eat dinner?" Xavier asks as I mess around in the kitchen at the house. Justin and I had decided to slowly introduce me being there more and more over the next two months.
"When we decide what we want to eat!" I smirk as I rest on the counter top. "What are you in the mood for?"
Xavier shrugs, "Food."
I sigh and roll my eyes, "Thank you for that one, why don't you gather up the gang and take a vote!" I suggest as I pull out my phone.
"They don't like anything good though." Xavier pleads as he hops off the barstool and goes over to the pantry looking for a snack.
"Give me three things you won't eat then." I suggest as he comes out of the pantry with some wasabi Cracks.
"Um," He finishes eating a chip, "I don't want sushi, fish, or pasta."
"Heard." I nod, "Now go get three things Ella Grace doesn't want. We'll make it while we wait for your mom to drop of Hadrian." I toss him a sticky note pad and pen.
"Ugh." Xavier puts the Cracks on the counter and sloppily grabs the note and pen and slugs off. Wow, so excited for teenagers.
I piddle around in the kitchen, putting away from dishes from earlier. My belly definitely causing more clumsiness than usual.
From: Justin
Hey, just seeing how things are there! Things are busy at the office, about to go in for a call with Trump...wish me luck.
I laugh audibly, knowing the anger he's about to endure.
To: Justin
Things are great. Ella-Grace is working on homework, Xavier is hungry for "food" (but not sushi, fish, or pasta), Hadrian is still with Sophie today. Also, on behalf of americans...I apologize.
I hear a clamor coming down the stairs.
"I don't want that Xavier!" I hear Ella-Grace whine.
"Too bad she asked ME!" Xavier touts back. The two race into the kitchen.
"Liza, h-he's saying that, "Ella-Grace out of breath from the stairs, moves a piece of hair out of her face, "I don't want pasta, but I do! He's lying!"
Xavier rolls his eyes, but doesn't deny anything.
I glance at Xavier, "C'mon, is that true?"
"If she wants pasta, we're gonna end up having pasta!" Xavier exclaims.
I chuckle, "Well, what makes you think that?"
Xavier says nothing.
I smile and glance at the sticky note, "It says 'no Thai, no soup, no pasta'-"
"That part isn't true!" Ella-Grace interjects.
"Okay, so you do want pasta?" I raise an eyebrow as I look up from the note.
"...I mean it's not what I want for dinner but I may want it later!" Ella-Grace explains.
I put my hands together, "Okay, so you don't want it for dinner now?"
"Right!" Ella- Grace's shoulders relax as if life and death were depending on the pasta.
"Okay, well, we have to decide soon so we can get cooking. I don't see," I stop and think for a moment, "burgers?"
