Forever theirs.

Fourteen

The next morning Beatrice woke up in an empty bed with the sheets clinging to her body.
She smiled as she remembered last night.
She knew everything would start to change but that only increased her smile.
Beatrice sat up before throwing her legs over the edge of the bed.
She picked up Brendan's shirt that he discarded last night and forgot about.
She put it on before walking to the bathroom.
Beatrice looked into the mirror before washing her face.
She hadn't even noticed that she was glowing.
Her skin had never looked as great as it did.
Beatrice then looked at the hickeys on her neck and chest.
She felt her neck as she got flashbacks.
She then walked out of the bedroom not knowing if they were still home or not.
She walked into the kitchen before seeing Simon drinking a cup of tea while looking at his phone.
She walked to him before placing her head on his shoulder.
He smiled before looking at her.
"Sleep well?" he asked.
She nodded "Thought I would wake up with you both there but I've gotten used to that" she said.
"Brendan went to find Joel.
He missed a delivery and he had to go hunt him down" Simon said.
"What about you?" she asked as she played with his hair soothing him.
"Thought I would make you breakfast.
I thought you would sleep in after last night.
Guess I was wrong" he said.
She smiles before kissing him.
"Why don't we go to the cafe?
We can get breakfast and then spend as much of the morning together" she said.
He looked into her eyes "I have a shift at ten.
Sorry love" he said.
"It's ok.
I might pop by anyway" she said.
"Why don't you get ready while I make you something simple?
I haven't eaten yet so we can eat together.
That's the closest I can get to a date love" he said.
"As long as it's with you I don't mind" she said.
He kissed her cheek.
"Go on.
Let me cook for you" he said.
"I didn't say I wasn't going to," she said.
She looked at him before kissing him.
The kiss was loving and warm.
It was perfect.
She then walked away leaving her lips tingling.
She got in the shower as Simon made her eggs with toast on the side to dip in the runny yolk.

After her shower and morning routine finished she sat across from Simon at the dining table.
"What will you be doing today?" she asked.
"I never know.
Probably sorting things out around around" he said.
"I was thinking maybe I could come in for an hour a day to help.
I like it there and you both know that.
I have the mindset for it" she said.
"You miss the studio don't you?" Simon asked.
"Yeah, a little.
I like staying home and taking care of you both but I miss being able to get out of the house.
Plus I have you both now and I don't want you both to come home stressed" she said.
"You help with the stress love" he said.
"I just wish I could do more and it's also Joel.
He's got so much to deal with and Brendan doesn't help.
I don't what he sees me as.
What figure I am but I know he trusts me.
I think he does anyway" she said.
"Talk to Brendan.
I can't do much" he said.
"I know and I will if I really think I could do it" she said.
"I'm sorry love but I've gotta go" he said.
"Wait.
Take some toast" she said.
"I already ate a lot.
I'll see you later" he said before walking away with his dish.
She continued eating before going to the kitchen to wash the dishes and do a quick clean.
It was the same routine.
Some things changed from time to time but not often.
After her usual chores were all done she grabbed her coat before heading to the club.
She wanted to see Brendan and see how he was.
She knew he would be stressed but it was nothing a massage couldn't fix.
She walked to the club before going inside to see Joel struggling to figure out how to get a large set of furniture upstairs.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Brendan bought new furniture and told the guys that delivered it to piss off straight after they brought everything in.
I've been left with something he should be doing" Joel said.
"There has to be a better way to do this," she said.
"There's not," Joel said.
"Look can you talk to him and tell him to get the fucking workers back here," Joel said.
She looked at the large crates.
"Where is he?" she asked.
"In his office.
He's doing more orders and Simon's in the back sorting out a stock issue" Joel said.
"Relax.
Sit down and let me see what I can do" she said.
She walked to the office before knocking on the door.
"What?" Brendan sounded irritated which made her heart fall to her stomach.
She walked in.
"Everything ok?" she asked.
"What do you think?" he asked.
She walked to him before sitting on his lap.
"Did you sleep?
You look tired" she said.
"An hour or two," he said.
"You could come home for an hour and sleep.
I could even get you some soothing tea to knock you out" she said.
He smiled "Thanks bunny but im needed here right now," he said.
She kissed him softly "If they call tomorrow ignore it or I'll have to make you" she said.
"Make me?" Brendan asked.
"Yep," she said.
Suddenly Simon walked into the room.
"We're missing half of the stuff from the last order," Simon said.
"For fuck sake," Brendan said.
"Hey, love," Simon said.
"Hi," she said as she cuddled to Brendan.
"Cover your pretty ears bunny" Brendan said.
She looked at him before plugging her ears.
She faintly heard Brendan shout Joel's name before she unplugged her ears.
Joel walked in.
"Why is half my fuckin stock missing?" Brendan asked.
"No idea.
I've been busy with the other chores you set me" he said.
"Yes, but when I give you anything remotely important you find a way to fuck it up" Brendan said.
"You said you would talk to him," Joel said to Beatrice.
"Aye, she isn't talking to you I am," Brendan said.
"Brendan it's ok" she said.
"Joel I can talk to him but if you mess up I can't do anything.
I'm sorry" she said.
"You're just like the both of them.
You act nice and sweet.
You make me think you're different but you're just as ugly on the inside as they are" Joel said.
"Beatrice why don't you go to the cafe and bring me back a ham and cheese panini" Brendan said.
She looked at him as he used her name instead of the nickname he always used.
"Yeah," she said before kissing him.
She then walked out of the room before rushing out of the club not wanting to see Brendan's and Simon's rage.
She went to the cafe and got the panini Brendan wanted and one for her to eat before she went back to the club.
She paid before sitting on the couch.
Beatrice went on her phone as she thought about what Joel said.
She knew she wasn't like Simon and Brendan but now she was questioning it.
After the best night of her life, she was questioning if she was the same girl they met so long ago.
