WAIT

#25 "A"

Kait's lids were closed as she allowed the sun to soak into her melanin.

Chelsea's words from last night still replaying in her mind as the scent of pancakes filled her nostrils.

Her lids widening as she got to her feet and made her way to the line of women.

Her mouth watering at the sight of the display of breakfast items splayed across the white clothed table.

"I must say I'm impressed."

His voice held a hint of humor to it causing her eyes to roll.

"Did you expect any less from me?"

She shot the question from him as the right side of his lips rose.

"I mean technically we planned it together so no I didn't expect any less from myself."

She allowed the chuckle to burst through her lips.

"But I must say I thoroughly enjoyed last night... listening to other's stories is just so beautiful for me."

Kait nodded her head in agreement.

"I did... I loved the trinkets part too... wasn't my idea but I see you working."

Kait's eyes rolled as she filled her own plate with breakfast items before finding herself on white cushion seated neatly on the grass.

Her orbs roamed the backyard of women, chatter filling the area as Kait dug into her meal.

Her tastebuds dancing with excitement as the food touched her tongue.

She savored the flavor before she felt the seat beside her being occupied.

"The food is that good huh?"

His voice joking as Kait rolled her eyes.

Why was it that the men in her life seemed to enjoy harassing her.

"It is and I'm starving..."

********

Kait raised the microphone to her lips.

"Good morning beautiful people. Thank you for joining us again on this beautiful Saturday morning... How was last night?"

"Powerful."

"Amazing."

"Mind-blowing."

"Renewing."

"Awesome."

The responses were overwhelming.

The sides of Kait's lips rose as her irises found the pecan butter woman, mouthing the words...
