Capture My Heart

The flowers

I stared at the flowers as I got ready for work. The words you're doing an amazing job kept floating through my mind. Has he noticed? Does that mean he loves my work?

Why roses? Roses signify love. Red represents passion. He is an artist so it would make sense.

I made sure to pack my lunch so I had something to eat. Then I left for another day.

When I arrived I removed my coat and made my way to the kitchen only to smell bacon? What in the world?

I got to the doorway and stood there shocked. C was at the stove cooking. He turned and glanced at me, then went back to cooking.

"Hungry?"

"Um."

"Of course you are. Come and sit," he said with enthusiasm.

I walked over and took a seat at the counter. There were two plates placed on the counter, along with silverware.

"I should really be making Mr. Thompson breakfast," I mentioned.

He turned and brought a pan over, scrapping scrambled eggs onto both plates.

"Not necessary."

"Why?"

"He's busy today and suggested not to be bothered," he smiled.

"But he needs to eat."

"He will. He always does," he said still smiling. Well, okay then.

Once he finished putting all the food onto the plates he looked at me, "coffee?"

"Yes, please."

He poured two mugs of coffee, then set them down on the countertop. Afterwards he took a seat next to me and started eating. I just sat there.

"Why aren't you eating?"

"I'm not suppose to."

"Suppose to what?" He cut me off.

"Eat his food," I said sheepishly.

"I don't think he will mind," he smiled. I couldn't help but smile and started to eat when I heard someone clear their throat. I immediately dropped my fork and swallowed quickly. Shit.

"Enjoying yourselves," Davis asked.

C turned around, "actually yes."

I turned around to see a disapproving look from Davis. Great, there goes my pay.

"This is most disappointing," Davis continued.

"Why because two people are hungry? Lighten up," C countered.

He gave C a look.

"Oh relax. It's just breakfast."

"But the rules?!"

"The rules are stupid. You and I both know that. Actually I would like a word with you about something," C got up and walked towards him. They stepped out of the kitchen.

"Why did you dock her pay? He whispered to Davis.

"Because she broke the rules," he whispered back.

"Bullshit. That was unnecessary."

"But C......"

"Shhhh." He gave him a glare, "do not and I repeat do not ever dock her pay again."

"Yes."

"Now, if you don't mind, Sera and I are having breakfast. Do not disturb us for the rest of the day. I have plans."
