"Okay, now we're going to add a teaspoon of rum. Grab that bottle over there." I said pointing to a bottle of rum on the counter.
I was really surprised because Matt was doing well for his first time baking.
"Only a teaspoon?" Matt asked opening the bottle.
"Only one. Nothing more or less." I said reaching for the bottle. "Matt? Matt! Put that down!" I said hitting his upper arm after he brought the bottle to his lips.
"What? What?" He asked putting the bottle down.
"A teaspoon not a mouthful" I said taking the bottle from him.
"Ahh, it doesn't matter. Same thing." Matt said trying to grab the bottle back.
"No! It's for the cookies." I said swinging the bottle away from Matt. I got the teaspoon measurement and put only one teaspoon of rum in the batter.
"Can I trust you to put it away?" I asked raising my brow and putting my hand on my hip. He nodded his head.
"Okay, great. While you out that away I'll go get the flower from the pantry, I'll be back." I said walking out of the kitchen to go down the hall to the small pantry.
"Got the flower." I said walking back into the kitchen. "Matthew! You agreed that I could trust you! Put the goddamn bottle down!" I said putting the flower container on the counter. I ran over to where Matt was, got the bottle, and kept it by my side.
"It's your fault for trusting me." Matt said putting his arms around my neck.
"It's your fault for not having self control." I exchanged with a laugh.
"What's next?"
"Now, we have to mix the wet to the dry ingredients. And then we can bake them." I told Matt. I handed him the whisk.
"And then I take out a bottle of whine to celebrate the holiday season!" I said in an excited voice.
"You really do enjoy Christmas do you?" Matt asked with a laugh.
"Everyone's happy, and that makes me happy." I said smiling.
Sometime later......
"Red or white?" I asked opening a cupboard.
"Yes." Matt said simply.
"Okay then. We'll start out with white." I said grabbing two glasses.
"Are those hand painted?" Matt asked pointing to the glasses.
"They are. My mother got them for me." I said smiling.
"Geek."
Sometime later...again...
"Just one more glass? Please?"
"No Matthew, you've really had enough." I said turning the bottle away from Matt.
"This was supposed to be a little celebration of the holidays. Not a drunk fest." I said. I made Matt laugh.
"A drunk fest? This isn't a drunk fest. I'm not drunk and I'm not at a fest."
