His One and Only

Chapter 11

Mira shot out of bed when the first morning rays shone through her window. She hopped downstairs to see it was already 7:00am but it seemed the Commander wasn't awake yet. She decided to make breakfast for them because today was a big day.

Unsure of what he would like to eat because she never actually cooked for him she went upstairs to see if he was there so she could ask. She could hear his heartbeat in the room so she knocked and entered.

"Good morning!"

She found him sleeping on the furs on the floor. Well her answer to where he slept was answered but the question 'why' remained. Xander sat up straight like a jack in the box but was in a daze. Mira didn't seem to notice and started to talk at a rapid pace.

"So I decided it would be best to make a big breakfast for us to start this journey right but then I realized I've never cooked for you so I figured I should ask you first what you would like to eat-"

She was talking too fast for him to process it all. His brain felt like mush due to last night's events. Samuel convinced him to drink a few pints of beers and shots of moonshine. He didn't get fully drunk but was definitely tipsy. Mira seemed to be still talking despite his inability to focus at the moment. He swiveled to the right and stood up to head to the bathroom.

"-Because I really don't want to put effort into a nice meal and then have you be allergic or not like it so that's why I'm here- SWEET MOON GODDESS YOU'RE NAKED!"

Mira covered her burning red face with both hands and whirled around. He had turned in the opposite direction of her before getting up but she still caught the full view of his butt. She felt mortified seeing such a private scene.

Xander was still processing everything and her outburst didn't phase him at all. He lazily looked down at himself and realized she was right. He was fully naked. Maybe I did get a little more drunk than I realized. Like a damn lightweight. Not really caring he continued to the bathroom.

"Okay so for breakfast I guess-"

"Anything." He said through the open bathroom door before the shower turned on.

"Ookkayy great. See you downstairs...hopefully clothed." She mumbled the last part and fled the scene hoping to forget it as soon as possible.

1 hour later Mira had whipped up an egg and pork sausage egg bake with a side of biscuits and gravy. They sat on the stools silently and ate.

Huh. She is a really good cook actually. Xander glanced down at her and watched her munch away. He noticed she was quietly wiggling her dangling feet as she ate. Does she ever stop moving? Goddess Freya leave me be. This pup is too young and innocent for me.

On the way to the trucks they stopped at the clothing store. The weather was getting colder and they would mainly be outside traveling. Xander bought her some more pants and hoodies.

All their personal stuff had to be packed in a backpack which was no problem for Mira because she essentially had nothing.

After the store they headed to the garages where they kept all the vehicles. One of the garage doors was open and Mira could see one of the vehicles that brought them here that cold dark night. Her stomach churned and she looked away.

Outside and being prepped were two big pickup trucks. These trucks were definitely for off-roading. They were high off the ground, had chains on the tires, and were very large. There were various types of men loading up the trucks, putting in gas, and checking what not.
