Reruns (Elizabeth Olsen Fanfic)

Chapter 81

Shannon's P.O.V.
"Baby come on, how am I going to ask your father's blessing for our marriage if I don't get to talk to him." I sighed slumping down on one of our kitchen stool as she goes over to the fridge. "and besides he's expecting you to be there."

"Shan—" She sighs "Can we not talk about this right now. I'm tired from the flight, I just want to go to bed and take a fucking rest."She slams the glass on the kitchen island making me jump before pouring herself a glass of cold water and drinks all the contents of it. Well, now's not a good timing but the party is tomorrow night, less than 24 hours. So don't blame me if I opened the subject right now, the thought is just killing me already. "on second thought, my answer is still no."

"But—" She puts up a hand and leaves the room. Not really a good time. I sighed and took out my phone from my pocket and texted Trent about it

Looks like we're having a stay in tomorrow.

He replies instantly.

I told you she won't come.

Well, she did slam a glass right in front of me.

Yep, that's telling you to drop the subject and not ask ever again HAHA

Right, got it. So just say hi to the others for me then

I will. Don't worry if the party sucks and Robbie would be there, I'm taking the others and we'll crash to your house after and finally have some martinis instead.

I like the sound of that.

I chucked my phone into my pocket and decided to do something. Something to clear my head off it since she made it clear that there is no way we are going to her Dad's birthday party tomorrow, maybe I could figure out something else later on. I could unpack her single suitcase she had with her earlier but then I hate unpacking because I suck at it and I would definitely have an earful if she sees the mess I've done so maybe that's not a good idea.

Well, I could water the plants and maybe cook something for dinner since I went to the shops yesterday after she called me up saying she's coming home for the rest of the week so we could go back to Texas on Friday together.

To be honest, I have mixed emotions of going back to work considering what happened last time and I think Elizabeth's been stressing about it too but if I don't go back to work then it will leave a huge disappointment to everyone most especially Lesli and that would be the end of my fucking career. Anyway, maybe it will be different this time, I just have to deal with it.

I went outside to water the plants even though clouds are starting to form into one huge dark gray pillow in the sky. It will definitely pour out later on, so with one crippled leg and a single crutch, I managed to safe keep our potted plants in the green house so they would not get destroyed if the rain will turn out pretty bad before I made my way back inside as thunder starts rolling now.

Its quite chilly now that fall had started and rain is becoming a frequent weather nowadays so a nice cup of pumpkin spice latte is a must for this kind of weather and maybe some pumpkin pie for when Elizabeth wakes up figuring out she must've fallen asleep already.

So I went back to the kitchen and tried my very best to make a pumpkin pie straight from a recipe I found in the internet. Being alone in our house for days can be so boring so I had to keep myself busy and one way is by spending all my time in the kitchen cooking and baking shit I would eat at the end of the day. Some turned out to be so good but some of them turned out so bad that I had to throw it away and just order Chinese or something which I have to get by the parking lot since our house is well hidden behind the huge hedges. Most delivery guys give me looks wondering why the hell am I ordering food from a parking lot and I would just stare and say thank you and watch them leave before going back to the house.
