Spilt Coffee

Chapter 3

"Now, tell me everything" Darcy chimed as Evelyn walked through the front door.

"It was just a coffee, just to get to know each other" she told her sister. Darcy jumped around like a small puppy.

"What's he like then?" Darcy smiled.

"Well, he's apparently a bin man" Evelyn told her sister "they must have good pay because he took me to the café in a Bentley" she laughed.

"Are you sure" Darcy raised her eyebrow "he didn't look like a bin man"

"I don't know. Whatever his job may be, I like him" she smiled. Darcy cooed which caused Evelyn's cheeks to redden.

"Well, I'm getting back into my pyjamas" she told her sister as she climbed up the stairs.

Evelyn got into some snuggly pyjamas and then jumped into her bed.

Thankyou again for the
coffee

She texted Matthew.

"BANG BANG" The young boy shot a blow up alien with a nerf gun. Matthew shot another.

"We got 'em!" Matthew cheered "move out, move out" Matthew gestured for the boy to follow him.

The pair jumped into pillow fort they made themselves with all the cushions, pillows, blankets and duvets they could gather from around their massive home.

There was a small knock at the large oak living room door. Matthew popped his head out of a small gap inbetween the roof of their fort. Ana, the house maid. A petite middle-aged women who wore her black hair tight in a professional bun.

She smiled "is there anything the pair of you would like?" She asked him. Matthew hid his head back away in the soft fort. Ana heard whispers coming from the fort which filled the massive living room.

"Excuse me general. There is an unknown character asking if we would like goods" Matthew put on a voice to stay in character for the five year old boy "do we accept her kind gesture?"

"Hmm" the boy went tapping on his chin, thinking. "Only if the goods include cookies and hot chocolate with squirty cream and marshmallows" he put his hands on his hips, trying his hardest to stay in character.

"I shall ask general" Matthew nodded. Matthew popped his head out of the fort again. "Psssttttt" he signaled Ana. "General will only accept cookies and hot chocolate"

"-with squirty cream and marshmallows!" A muffled cry came from the fort.

"-with squirty cream and marshmallows please Ana" he laughed. Ana laughed and took herself to the kitchen to prepare what the only child ordered.

"TAKE COVER!" Matthew yelled jumping on the boy "ALIENS ARE COMING!!!!" Matthew screeched. Matthew took a massive mouthful of air. He pulled up the boy's pyjama top and blew his belly. The boy exploded with laughter.

"Stop! Stop!" He cried, Matthew ignored the boy's request.

"It's the only way to protect you from the Aliens!" Matthew laughed himself. The boy wailed and flew his arms and legs around. Matthew stopped and swooped the boy into his arms. Matthew rocked the boy in his arms.
