Prodigal Son; Malcolm Bright

11.00

Celine Wilson

I twirled around in the meeting room chair as we waited on Malcolm to show up. I decided the team didn't know he was late because I'd sent him on a mission to bring me 3 muffins.

He came rushing into the room and handed me 2 muffins and I looked up at him with a frown.

Malcolm: Those were the only two banana nut muffins left, and I was already late from a run in with my mother

Celine: What'd she want?

Malcolm: We'll talk later

Throughout the entire meeting I was itchy basically all over and since there aren't many ways to be discreetly uncomfortable, everybody noticed.

Dani: You okay?

Celine: It's a pregnancy thing, is that all for today Gil?

Gil: Yea

Throughout the day I continued to deal with random waves of itchiness. I was busy trying to scratch my back when Malcolm walked in.

Malcolm: You okay?

Celine: Amazing, what is it?

I heard him close my door and lock it. He then closed the blinds which made me stop scratching. I turned around and looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

Malcolm: Take off your shirt

Celine: What?

Malcolm: Take off your shirt

He reached into his pocket pulling out a bottle of oil. He flipped it over on the back to read it.

Malcolm: It says here it's supposed to help ease itching, it's for pregnant women

Celine: Where'd you get that?

Malcolm: This is why I was so late this morning...and if we're being honest this old man beat me to the third muffin

Celine: If it makes me stop itching all is forgiven

I sat down in the chair and took off my shirt, he helped me put it on the spots I couldn't reach...there were a lot of those.

Malcolm: Is it working?

Celine: Yea...hey is it jasmine scented?

Malcolm: Um-yea

Celine: It's making me sleepy

I put my shirt back on and laid my head down on the desk, I heard Malcolm chuckle as he slid the oil in my drawer.

Celine: Don't let me sleep too long

Malcolm: You got it boss

I heard him exit the officeand I smiled slightly as I let sleep take over.
