A Little Lost

39

I wake up feeling big but alone in the bed. I go to the bathroom to take a shower and look at my head. I'm not sure what it looked like before but it's looks kind of big now.

Once I finish I go to look for my daddy who has left me alone to fend for myself.

On my way to the kitchen to look and also get some food I run into Adrian.

"Hey buddy."

"Hello to you too Adrian." I say in a playful tone to nonverbally tell him I'm not little.

"Oh my apologies good sire." He says in a goofy "old man" voice. I chuckle at his silliness and he gives me a hug as we walk downstairs.

"Have you seen Damon?"

"Yeah I think he's in his office."

"Well I'll talk to him later I'm hungry." We both smile as we walk into the kitchen where our on deck chef is.

Usually if we are having a quick meal Damon or Adrian will fix it but I think Adrian and I are extra hungry today so I think we'll have her make it.

"Good morning boys!" Denise joyfully greets us. "Oh Jonah honey what happened to your head?" She asks noticing my bump.

I notice in the corner of my eye that Adrian looks like he got tense when she asked. I ignore him and answer her.

"I tripped yesterday at the playground." She puts her hand on her chest.

"Oh you poor thing. How do you feel today? Need ice?" I smile at her concern.

"Thanks but I actually feel pretty good."

"So Jonah what breakfast are you feeling. You said you were pretty hungry right?" Adrian asks me suddenly. I think remembering I am pretty hungry.

"I don't know I kind of want a bit of everything."

"All right it's settled. Three full American breakfasts if you don't mind Denise." Adrian kindly says.

"You got it!" Denise says and immediately starts preforming her craft.

"A full American breakfast consists of the classics: eggs, hash, pancakes, and sausage. But of course Denise puts her chef magic on it and it tastes much more magical than I just described."

Adrian explains seeing my slightly confused expresssion.

"So let's go watch tv while we let Denise work her magic. We haven't watched The Office in a while." Adrian says looking at me for approval. I nod.

We sit on the couch together and watch the weird but funny tv show.

Eventually Denise calls for us to let us know the food is done. Adrian and I practically charge to the kitchen and once there my mouth starts drooling.

All of the food is beautifully placed on the table at our usual spots.

"Hey Denise can you help me put this on a serving tray so I can take it to Damon?" She nods and happily nods. She helps and I head upstairs to daddy's office.

I place the heavy tray on the floor as I knock and wait for an answer. I hear a "come in" and I open the door and pick the tray back up.

I see daddy staring to see who it is and he smiles once he sees that it's me.

"Good morning baby. Sorry I wasn't there this morning I have a few video call meetings I have to do." He says in a somewhat whisper.

"It's okay I understand."

"I'm actually in one right now so can you set the food down on the table over there please?"

My eyes widen once I have realized that I interrupted him and I do as I'm told and go to leave.
