Marjoreece - Date Night

Breakfast in Bed

A/N so this is just a complete fluff chapter after yesterdays 3 part smutfest 🥵🥵 

The couple both drifted off back to sleep. After about an hour, Reece woke up. He looked down at a sleeping Marjorie curled up in his arms and couldn't help but smile at how lucky he felt having her in his life. He remembered what she'd said earlier that morning about being hungry, so he slid himself out from underneath her being careful not to wake her, grabbed a pair of shorts to put on and went down to the kitchen. He started looking through the cupboards for something to make for her. Knowing how much of a sweet tooth she had, I mean, the woman did carry chocolate in her pockets, he decided on French toast with Nutella and fresh strawberries. He worked quickly. He didn't want Marjorie to wake up and come downstairs before he was finished. Tidying up as he went, he couldn't stand it when the house was a mess. He soon had everything set up. He spread Nutella in between the French toast slices to so they were like sandwiches, cut up fresh strawberries and sprinkled it with a little icing sugar before adding mugs of coffee, cutlery and glasses of orange juice to the tray. He still hadn't heard any movement from upstairs, so was sure he was on safe ground taking it all up to surprise her.

As he walked back into their bedroom, he could see she was still asleep. He placed the tray on the floor next to the bed and climbed in next to her. He wrapped his arms around her and gently kissed her cheek. He tucked her hair behind her ear as he leant down to her. "Marjorie." He whispered in her ear. "It's time to wake up gorgeous." He interspersed each line he spoke with another kiss. "I've brought you breakfast in bed." At the sound of the word breakfast, she moved slightly and let out a moan. "There's Nutella." Her eyes snapped open at the word Nutella, and she sat up faster than he'd ever seen her move. "I knew that would work." He laughed at the way she woke up so eagerly for chocolate. He leant over and picked up the tray from the floor and placed it on the bed next to her.

She looked at him and pouted slightly. "I'm not done being held by you yet."

Reece rolled his eyes. He sat up leaning against the headboard with a pillow behind him. Marjorie manoeuvred herself, so she sat in between his legs and leant herself back into his chest before pulling the tray back towards them. Reece grabbed his coffee but left the food for Marjorie. After a few bites, she noticed he wasn't eating. "Aren't you having any, my love?" She asked him.

"Well, I thought about it, but I decided against it. I'm not coming between you and chocolate, I like all my fingers attached to my hands." He laughed. She playfully elbowed him in the ribs after that last comment before cutting a piece and holding the fork up to his mouth.

"I'll share with you, but you're one of the very few exceptions." She said as he took the mouthful she offered him. "I was planning on bringing you breakfast in bed after this morning. You definitely earned it."

"Marjorie, you don't have to do that. I've seen you in the kitchen. I reckon you could probably give me food poisoning with cereal." He chuckled. The chuckle turned into a full laugh when she turned to try and glare at him. Not even she was convinced he was wrong and couldn't hide the fact she thought he was probably right about that. Her inability in the kitchen had been a running joke in the nursery for years. It was even the first question Sorscha had asked when she'd turned up to visit her and baby Quinn with a casserole. The relief on Sorschas' face when she found out Marjorie didn't make it was obvious.

Breakfast finished, the tray found its way back to the floor, and Marjorie curled up back in Reeces arms. "I don't think I could ever get fed up of laying here like this with you. It's like the rest of the world just disappears." She said, following it with a contented sigh. The silence was broken by Marjories phone going off, signalling she had a new message. She leant over and grabbed her phone to check. Sorschas' name appeared on the screen. She was asking if Marjorie could come over for another chat as the last one was really helpful. Reece could see the message from where he was.

"Why don't we both go? I'll make something before we leave that we can either all have there or Sorscha and Clodagh can reheat later and if I go as well, I can watch Quinn meaning Clodagh can sleep and Sorscha can chat to you without worrying if she's OK."

"Reece, you would do that?"

"Of course I would. I know I haven't exactly spent a lot of time with Sorscha, but they're important to you, so they're important to me. I'll go prep something now. Stay here, take a shower, whatever you want, OK? Just relax." He planted another kiss on her lips as he got up and walked out of the room. Marjorie messaged Sorscha back.

M: Morning, my love, we'll be over later. Reece is insisting on coming with food and said he'll watch Quinn so we can talk without you needing to worry about her if that's OK with you?

S: That sounds grand. After that casserole Reece can bring food anytime he likes. What's he making?

M: I don't know, he's just got out of bed to go and make something now. I'll tell you what though, I dont think you need to worry about Quinn being safe if shes got the gaurd dog and the Piranha looking out for her before you even get to me, Char, Carly and Winter.

S: Thanks Marjorie, you're so right, she really is lucky.

Marjorie got up and jumped in the shower before getting ready for the day. As she got closer to the kitchen, the smells hitting her nose started making her hungry again. She walked up behind Reece who was still stood at the stove and wrapped her arms around him. "What are you making then?"

"Only a shepherd's pie. Didn't have a lot of choice, not much food in until I go shopping." He grabbed a spoon and dipped it in the pan before offering it to Marjorie to taste.

"Oh my god this is incredible!! How does it taste like it's been cooking for hours when I know you've only been down her for 45 minutes?"

"I have my ways." Reece replied laughing, placing the shepherd's pie in the oven. "Right, I'm going for a shower, I'll be back before that needs to come out." He pulled Marjorie in for a kiss. As they broke apart he could help but look her up and down biting his lip as he did. "My god she's so hot!" He thought before going back upstairs to get ready.
