The Baker {ON HOLD}

Chapter 13: Holiday

NikolasPOV
We spent the night finishing the movie and eating. Soon after we fell asleep on the sheets and pillows on the floor. Waking up I noticed she was still sleeping, so I quietly got up and went through the halls to the swimming pool for a morning work out. After switching into some trunks I dove into the pool. Getting started I did a few backstroke laps then pushed off the wall into a breaststroke kind of thing. After that I just floated around.
Then I heard my name and the door close.
I took a few more laps then I heard my name again.

"Nikolas!"

I propped up on the edge of the pool and responded "Yes Amina."

"Where you in here the entire time?"

"Yeah I was getting a little work out in."

"I looked everywhere twice and I even came in here and called you."

"I've been in here since six. You were sleeping peacefully so I just let you."

"Well umm thanks... I got hungry and didn't know where you were so I made you something too."

Climbing out of the pool I walked toward her

"I apologize. C'mere." I said

She backed away then sprinted toward the door while saying "No way pool boy!"

"Gotta love the chase." I said to myself grabbing a towel.

I went through the halls and up the stairs to my room for a shower. After ridding myself of any traces of the said "pool smell" I headed back downstairs. She sat eating at the island and scrolling through her phone then she noticed me standing there.

"Hey I put you a plate in your microwave."

"Thank you. Could I possibly get a hug now?"

"Do you still smell like chlorine?"

"No I hit the shower, so can I get a hug from my girl."

"Why not."she said getting up.

She wrapped her arms around my shoulders and I wrapped mine around her waist and my chin rested on her head.

"This is nice." I said

"Yeah it is, and you kind of smell like cinnamon." she said muffled into my chest.

"You smelled me?" I said chuckling

"Maybe, maybe not. Ok hug over."she said attempting to get out of my hold

"Well it's nice to know you think I smell pleasant and give it few seconds, I like this."

"What this hug?"

"Yeah. You and me. Besides studies show hugs are beneficial."

"Alright just for a little bit longer. The foods probably getting cold."

I let go then I got my plate and we sat down together. She went really went all out. I had bacon and sausages, fried eggs, and hash browns. I said a quick prayer then I dug in.

"This is all  really good."

"Thanks."

"Ok so now that nearly done eating I've a question."

"Ok shoot." she said looking at me

"Are you ready to spend a full last day here?"

"Yeah let's go." she said excitedly

We washed our breakfast dishes and then went to get dressed for the day ahead.

"So what's first?"
