Cillian was in a terrible mood, but he was trying to hide it from Auden. He suspected she was also in a bad mood. Seeing Jenni always soured his day and he had wished that he could of seen Charlie for longer than an hour today. But Jenni had "made plans" for Charlie that he just could not miss.
He was standing in Auden's kitchen, watching her chop up some carrots at her dining table for a soup recipe. He was leaning against a wall, beer in hand while her cat rubbed against his legs meowing. He wasn't a huge cat person, but for some reason Beans had become obsessed with him and he was slowly warming up to her constant affection.
"How was work?" He asked casually, taking a sip of from his bottle and using his foot to rub Bean's furry belly. He was trying not to pry Auden about her meeting with Patrick, but the suspense was killing him.
Auden shrugged, her eyes staring intently at the carrots she was cutting, "Fine." As her shoulder's moved, a strap from her white tank top slipped. Cillian couldn't help but let his mind wander to what was underneath, causing his mood to lighten slightly. Every day he fought the urge to whisk her off her feet, carry her into the bedroom, and finally indulge in everything he had been dreaming about.
"And your meeting?" Cillian pushed gently. Early in their relationship, Cillian quickly realized that Auden struggled quite a bit with being vulnerable and discussing issues that upset her. Being a father definitely gave him the patience to help her, but her closed off nature hurt him at times. He tried not to take it personally, but sometimes it made him question her feelings for him.
He noticed Auden tense ever-so-slightly at his question. Cillian also was becoming an expert at picking up little signs that gave off her true emotions. She was so guarded in some moments that it forced him to become hyper-aware of the small things.
Auden stood up with the cutting board, avoiding eye contract with Cillian as she faced the stove. Now he was staring at her backside. Normally he would love the view, but it made reading her more difficult. "It was fine," Auden replied, pouring the carrots into a large pot. Her voice was calm and collected, "It went as excepted."
Cillian took another sip of his beer before placing the bottle on the counter and moving towards her. Beans meowed in protest but bolted off into another room. She was certainly hiding something, and he would find out.
