/Zianna/
I woke up to the smell of pancakes. I got up from the bed and went into the restroom to use it and brush my teeth.
Once finished, I hurried to the kitchen to find Pete singing while flipping pancakes.
"Don't forget to come and pick up your-" He sang
"PETE" I yelled, causing him to jump and nearly drop the pan.
He was wearing gray sweatpants and no shirt, looking extremely attractive.
"It is seven in the morning and you're screaming while I'm trying to make pancakes" He glared at me then put the pan back down.
"Good morning Pete, where's Colson?"
"Good morning, and he's at your office, actually. You hungry?"
I nodded and he grabbed a plate from the cabinet.
He fixed my food and handed it over to me.
"Thank you"
I sat down at the dining table and did a quick prayer over my food. Pete walked in a few minutes later and joined me.
"So, how did you sleep?" He asked me, taking a sip from his orange juice.
"Good. How did you sleep?"
"Tossing and turning, but it was alright"
We kept eating, the only sounds being heard was our forks hitting the plates for a while.
"You know, I meant what I said yesterday" He blurted
I looked at him confused
"Oh yeah? What did you say?"
He sat his fork down and looked into my eyes.
"You know, about you being to stay here for as long as you want....and me not feeling comfortable with you going back there yet"
I mumbled an "ohhhh" and grinned.
"I know you did, and I'm gonna stay until I find a place to go."
"You could move in if you wanted" He suggested nonchalantly
I stared at him for a bit, wondering if he was being truthful.
"You mean it?" I asked in disbelief
"Of course! Colson and I only want to make sure you're safe and comfortable. If you ever wanted to move in then we could do that"
"But I'd need the rest of my things from home" I responded
"We could go when your husband would be at work. You know his schedule?"
"Like the back of my hand. He should be there now but he could be outside my building, waiting for me to come out"
Pete looked like he was thinking, his eyes pointed to the ceiling. He then took his phone out his pocket and called someone.
"Hey dude, you still at the office? Cool, check to see if the husband is outside...."
He went silent for a little bit then smirked
"He is? Keep him there while Zianna and I get the rest of her stuff. It'll take 25 minutes tops. Okay, bye" He hung up and looked at me with the same smirk
"Colson says he's at your office but he'll keep him there while we get your stuff, we gotta leave now though. Put on some shoes and come on" He rushed me
I got up and ran to my room to grab flats and a jacket.
"Pete! I'm still in pajamas!" I giggled
"No one's gonna see you in them. And anyways, you look good."
We got in his car and I gave him directions to my place, feeling joyful about me making even more steps to leave my husband for good.
