Loving Marianna

Chapter Nineteen

Tw: nsfw

"Sorry we're closed for the day!" I yell out cleaning up in the bakery kitchen as I hear someone enter. There's no response and I don't hear them leave. I pick up a knife and move to the door leaning against the wall. I peak around the corner and can't see anyone where I'm standing. I move out and a figure grabs my hips from behind. I flip them over me slamming them hard on the floor and pressing my knee to their chest. Once I can see their face clearly my eyes widen.

"Shit Scott I'm so sorry." I profusely apologize.

"C-chest p-p-please." He croaks out. I quickly get off of him and help him up.

"I am so sorry my love. I thought I was gonna be killed." I laugh out.

"Well I'm glad that you're always ready at least." He says scratching the back of his head with a smile.

"Training is definitely paying off." He adds.

"Heh, yeah I guess so." I say smiling looking down at my hands.

"I'm almost finished up in the kitchen though can you wait like ten minutes?" I ask him.

"Of course baby can I help."

"No no no you sit and I'll be back real quick." I appreciate his offer but let's be honest Scott is a goof and would make me take longer then actually speed things up. I finish quickly and lock up grabbing two loaves of bread before I do. I grab Scott's hand and start to lead him to George's cart.

"Where are you taking me?" He asks playfully.

"I want you to meet someone." I respond excitedly.

We get to George's cart and I am immediately met with a bright smile, "Ah Marianna! My girl! It's been too long!" George beams.

"Who is this handsome fellow you have with you today?" He asks raising an eyebrow.

"This is one of my amazing mates, Scott."

"Hi, I'm Scott Lang Mariannas future husband." I blush hard and put my face in his arm so George doesn't see.

George laughs heartily, "there's nothing to be embarrassed about my girl! He clearly loves you let him show you off." He winks.

"I like him already." Scott says clasping George on the shoulder.

"I brought you a loaf of bread today. Figured you could have it with your husbands and kids tonight." I say handing him a loaf.

"Thank you Marianna! Ryan enjoyed the last loaf so much we had to hide it so the rest of the house could get some!" He chuckles.

"How does your friend like his coffee?" I tell him Scott's order and receive a wide dorky smile from Scott.

"You remember how I like my coffee?" He asks with puppy dog eyes.

"Of course my love. I've made it at home enough to remember at this point." I respond.

George hands us our coffees and I go to pay for Scott's. George waves his hand in dismissal.

"You have fed me and my family, I can hydrate you and yours." He says with a big smile.

"That would put you out of business my friend." I laugh.

"Very funny but please I don't want your money. I do well for just me and my cart."

"It's because everyone loves you and your big heart."

"You're too kind my girl."

"I could say the same to you." I grab his hand and give it a little squeeze. He squeezes back.
