Shattered Part II - 51

Chad's POV

Waking up to my phone going off I turn to my right and see Eliza asleep in my arms. I lean forward and kiss the top of her head. "Morning," I whisper. "I have to get ready for work. I'll see you later." I climb out of bed and head towards the bathroom. When I'm in the bathroom I strip off my clothes and step into the bathroom.

While I'm in the shower I hear the door open and I turn towards the door to see a clean suit placed on the floor with a letter.

I'll read it later.

Grabbing the shampoo I wash my hair and then after conditioning it I wash my body with Eliza's body wash. I rinse off before stepping out of the shower. Picking up the suit I quickly change into it and then read the letter.

Chad

I grabbed a suit from my husband and brought it to you. I thought a clean one would be better for when you went to work. If you have a clean one in the office you can wear that one if you want.

- Kat

A smile spreads across my face.

She knows how to make things easy for me. Especially, with lending me a suit for a day at work.

Exiting the bathroom I look over at the bed and see that it's empty. I walk to the kitchen and see Eliza standing over a pan. "Eliza, you're supposed to be on bed rest. Not cooking for me."

She jumps and turns towards me. "Chad, don't do that." She starts to serve the food on the plates.

Taking her food I steer her over to the bed and put the food on the nightstand. I pull the sheets back and say. "Get in bed, Eliza. If you're not going to stay there I'll have your mother stay with you in the house."

A smile spreads across her face. "I don't mind if you get her. It beats being alone and wanting to get out of bed every couple of minutes to do something."

There's a knock on the door and I look over at it. Standing at the door is Mrs Donoghue. I wave her in and she enters the pool house. "I'm going to eat breakfast, while you talk to your mother." I walk over to the kitchen counter. "Hi, Mrs Donoghue. How are you?"

She smiles at me. "I'm good. what about you, Chad."

"Good, I have to leave shortly. Is there a chance you can stay with her? While I was in the shower she got out of bed and made breakfast. I was going to make that before I left."

"I'll make sure she doesn't move from the bed, Chad. There are several things I can do with her to keep her occupied. Are you coming over after work?"

"I'm not sure. Get Eliza to send me a message if she needs someone to distract her for the night again."

Mrs Donoghue walks over to the bed and she starts talking to her daughter and they start laughing.

Finishing off breakfast I take it over to the sink and wash my dishes. I put it in the dishwasher and then walk back to the bathroom to grab my dirty suit and put it in a bag. I walk over to the bed and kiss Eliza.

She wraps her arms around me, deepening the kiss. "Do you have to leave?"

Looking at her I say. "I wish I could spend the day with you, but unfortunately I have a company to run and there's no one else that can do a better job than me."

"Are you coming over tonight?" she sticks her bottom lip out and looks sadly at me. "Please, come over."

A smile spreads across my face. "Since you asked nicely I'll come around. I better get to the office. I hate being late. Bye, Eliza. Mrs Donoghue." I head out the door without looking back at her.
