Chapter 47

*2 weeks later* Charlie : I woke up early in the morning on Adie's couch and made her breakfast in the kitchen. It was a very special day, Adie's 35th birthday. The last 2 weeks after the visit from her ex, she was not doing really well. She was in a kind of emotional chaos. But it got better over time. I've been by her side 24/7 for the past 2 weeks. We didn't get too close because I noticed that Adie needed some time right now. I respect that, I don't want to push her. I stood in front of her bedroom door with a table with fresh orange juice, heart-shaped homemade waffles and some fruits. I knocked, but no one answered. So I went in carefully "Adie?" I whispered and heard a little snore from the bed. With a grin on my face, I went in and placed the breakfast table on the bedside table. Adie was still sleeping like an angel. I carefully bent down to her and gave her a gentle kiss, "Morning you little sleepyhead. Happy birthday, my darling" Adie mumbled sleepily "morning." "There was someone working for a long time yesterday, hmm?" I asked teasingly. Adie lolled back and forth and tried to wake up. Until she smelled the fresh waffles "For me?" She asked sleepily. "No, no, these are mine. I just wanted to tease you with them." Adie hit me jokingly on the ribs and patted on the bed. I sat down next to her and handed her breakfast. "They taste fantastic, Charlie!!" she said and gave me a little kiss on my cheek. We sat together while Adie ate and planned the evening. "No party today!!" she said firmly. "As you want, ma'am" I replied. But actually, this was a lie. Nora and I planned a surprise party for her weeks ago. Everyone will be there, Adie's parents, grandparents, her siblings and friends. My job was to lure Adie out of the house until 8pm. So that Nora and our friends could prepare everything. "Hurry up honey, we have a lot of plans." I said with a smile. I had promised Adie that we would spend her birthday alone. Adie quickly hopped under the shower and came out after half an hour. I sat on her bed and ate the rest of the fruits which she couldn't do anymore. When she stood there, wrapped in just a towel, I noticed how I blushed. Adie suppressed a giggle...
