Family Dinner

I wake up, in my bed, to the smell of... meat? And a dimple filled smile in my face. "Hi mama Gina"

"Hello Roland." I say groggily. I flutter my eyes trying to clear my currently blurry vision. I then yawn and stretch my arms.

"Come on mama!" Roland jumps excitedly. "Daddy mommy's awake!" Roland screams. Suddenly Robin comes rushing in.

"Did he wake you up?" He asks sympathetically. "I told him to leave you alone" he states forcefully looking towards his son.

"Oh it's fine Robin. I needed to get up and make dinner anyway. Speaking of, what time is it?" And I look around towards my alarm clock.

"A little after 5:00 and don't worry about dinner milady I have it all under control." Does Robin know how to cook? I guess being a single dad he probably has had to cook food for himself multiple times. Roland then wraps his hand around my finger and pulls me towards the kitchen.

When we arrive at the table and I notice that it is set with a flower filled vase in the middle and three plates. All though it is but a simple action, I'm in awe. All my other boyfriends were always dependent on me doing everything. If I would've died they wouldn't know how to heat up Ramen noodles.

"Wow Robin! I'm impressed." I state. I go over to help him chop tomatoes but he ushers me back to my chair saying that I need to rest and he has it all under control. So I sit at the table when little Roland places a plate with a hamburger and french fries on it. "well thank you Roland!" I shout gleefully.

"Your welcome mommy." And before I know it Robin and Roland have joined me at the table.

"This is delicious Robin." I say swallowing my last bite of burger. He nods his head and swallows his food.

"Glad you like it milady." And we continue to eat our food happily.

*****

"Goodnight love bug" I whisper to Roland before kissing him on the nose.

"Night mama" He says before drifting off to sleep.

I arrive to the bedroom where Robin is already in bed doing some work on his laptop. But the minute I walk in the shuts his laptop. "Whatcha doing?" I ask curiously.

"Just waiting for you." He says before placing his laptop on the bedside table. I walk to my closet and open up my pajama drawer. I pull out some pajama shorts and an oversized t-shirt. I then brush my teeth and slip under the covers next to Robin. "No good night kiss for me?" Robin asks playfully.

"Allright" I huff "Goodnight to you love bug" and I lean to kiss his nose. I peck his nose and he sighs.

"How about a real goodnight kiss?"

I roll my eyes "Your insufferable" and before I can finish my snarky remark he leans in and kisses me for a long and slow passionate kiss. "Woah that was a goodnight kiss?"

"Well I figure I won't get to do that for at least another six hours so I better make it a good one." I laugh and roll over facing the wall, and I feel him lay his arm on top of me and we both drift off to sleep.
