Lover II- ML

253. An English Sunday

Breakfast the next morning came with knowing looks shared between the married couple as they multitasked feeding themselves and Fabian at the same time.

Because something had shifted, something so painfully obvious that Mapi was laughing into her sips of coffee when Alexia would shoot Rosa a quick side eye.

Every time Mapi met Kaia's eyes, they both had the same look that said: they definitely had sex.

But they didn't comment, they left their two single adult friends to it and instead decided on what they wanted to do this morning since the game kicked off in the afternoon.

They checked out of their hotel and left their bags in Elinor and Matteo's hotel closer to central London.

Kaia's parents were in the city strictly on business, but having them there was a huge blessing with how much they helped last night.

But Kaia and Mapi wanted to take Fabian out into London since this was his first time in England and they wanted to show him around the capital.

It was a lot colder than Spain which meant his fitted thermal blanket was over him in the stroller and zipped shut at the sides, leaving him cocooned in a warmth Mapi wishes she had as she pushed him along down the pavement.

They traveled to North London and explored mindlessly, aware of the time but not rushing their day or the three Spaniards admiration of the foreign city.

The trio shivered from time to time and Kaia felt like a mother when she literally swapped jackets with Alexia since she had dressed properly for the weather and Alexia hadn't.

Luckily their outfits matched.

"It's not even that cold." Kaia chuckles fondly, looping her hand around Mapi's forearm as she takes her side next to the stroller.

Mapi stops jittering her jaw to lean over with a teasing smile, her eyes lingering on Rosa and Alexia who were leading them towards the pub Kaia said they should have lunch at. "We're never moving here."

"I hear you." Kaia chuckles, knowing the reality of that was so far away that they could make jokes about it, even if this was Kaia's home country. "Alexia, right up here."

Alexia instinctively reaches for Rosa's wrist to tug her right at the cross roads, continuing down a quieter street with a beautiful pub nestled in a cozy corner of the city, tables sat outside and fairy lights draped to give of a warm and homey feeling.

"This looks really nice." Rosa hums softly, never having seen the types of places Kaia had taken them to this morning, the true British culture rather than tourist attractions.

"Glad it's not too busy." Kaia comments as she pockets her phone and scans through the windows for a table.

Thankfully there were a few tables free despite the bustle by the bar, so they weaved their way towards the cushioned bench table in the corner with a large window that had them overlooking the quiet cobbled street outside, only the odd groups of people or singular cars passing by.

"Ok," Mapi looks at the two across from her and Kaia, proudly taking charge of the English activity they were doing. "You guys have to try one of the specials."

Alexia scans the specials menu slowly, taking a look over to see Rosa was also a little wary of the names of these dishes. "What are you both having?"

"A Sunday roast." Mapi answers simply since it was Sunday, turning her menu while pointing at one of the meals. "You'll like the steak and kidney pie. Do you remember Kaia made those little pies a couple of weeks ago? The ones Patri and Pina practically ate all of?" She waits for Alexia to nod in recollection. "Those were the same thing but these ones will be a full serving, like a wedge from a bigger pie or in a small dish."
