Loving Me ✔️

Chapter 35

Buzz... Buzz... Buzz...

"Go away stupid bee" I mumble in my sleep as a constant buzzing sound disturbs my sleep.

"God you sleep like a log" Violet complains shaking me awake. I had stayed the night at her place after completing the baking and cake decorating task as we would have to go to Austen's house together next day anyways.

I groggily open my eyes and look at my phone to see its 2 am in the night.

"Where's the fire?" I ask Violet for waking me up so late in the night, technically morning but whatever. I wanted to go back to sleep.

"Check your phone" she mumbles constantly typing into her phone. As I take my phone, I see a bunch of notifications indicating new messages.

Guess that's where the buzzing sound was coming from.

I unlock my phone and see that all the messages are from a single group titled – Austen's Birthday. Yeah Hayden had made a group on WhatsApp specifically for his birthday.

Hayden – Mayday! Mayday!

Hunter – Wake Up every one!

Ryan – What happened? It's 1.45 am.

Hayden – Tristan just messaged, Austen's father slipped and had a bad fall.

Hunter – They all have rushed to the emergency room.

Ryan – What! Is he alright?

Violet – I hope it isn't something bad.

Ryan – I just got off on phone with Tristan. He says he told you both it isn't anything major bad but a simple fracture. His father got lucky to not have any head injuries.

Violet – Thank god! You both scared us.

Hunter – But they are keeping him overnight for observation.

Hayden – That means Mrs. Marks won't be there to make the special birthday breakfast!

Violet – Oh no! L

Ryan – Damn

Hayden – Exactly.

Had I heard about this situation few months back, I would say what a big deal in it, it's just a birthday breakfast. But now that I knew Austen a little better I know, he wouldn't mind missing it but it would make his day extra special if it actually happened. Small things mattered to him and the people he cared about.

Lost in my thoughts, the phone keeps buzzing and I realize they are thinking what to do,

"What if we make that breakfast?" I suggest

"What?" Violet asks in confusion as all her attention is on the phone.

"We can make the birthday special breakfast. We just need to get the recipes from Austen's mother and then we all are set!" I explain to her.

"It's not our regular breakfast, it's huge. Honestly I think Austen's mom is kind a super woman to make all that in one go" Violet says not impressed with the idea.

"Someone else in the group must know to cook or at least the basics right? And something will always be better than nothing" I say trying to make my case.

"Oh yes! Tristan knows his way around. The twins are useless. Ryan can be a bit useful I think" Violet says pondering over my idea but I knew she was sold.
