The rest of the morning I do my chores around the house and make sure everything is in order, by the time I'm halfway through, its break time. I leave a note telling Mistress Hazel that lunch is in the ice box, then I make my way down,
"Hey pretty lady, don't believe I've seen you around these parts," Isaiah greets me.
"Hi Isaiah," I chuckle rolling my eyes.
"Looks like someone is in a better mood, I haven't seen that smile in a while, if I get that every time I compliment you, I should do it all the time," he replies, causing me to laugh.
"Isaiah please don't," I say rolling my eyes, earning another laugh out of him.
"Isaiah I have to give you credit, you just never know when to quit," Papa jokes and I roll my eyes.
"Thank you sir."
"Never leaving my girl alone, yes hun encourage him," Mama says sarcastically as she joins us.
"Isaiah, between you and me, I'm rooting for you. One day I hope to be able to call you son in law," Papa mockingly whispers causing me to blush and Elijah to smile.
"Trust me sir I'm working on it," he turns and looks at me and I bashfully look away. Papa clears his throat and I look up and catch a glimpse of him, Mama, and Isaiah sharing a look.
"What was that about?"
"What was what about?" Papa asks.
"Mama?" I ask and she shrugs her shoulders and shovels some food in her mouth. I then look at Isaiah and he just gives me his signature smile.
"Fine, I'll figure it out sooner or later." I huff and continue eating my lunch. The rest of the break is filled with chatter and small topics, Isaiah didn't tell his usual jokes though I wonder what's wrong. When the break is over I call Isaiah over and wait until everyone is gone, so we can have some privacy.
"Isaiah are you ok? You were very quiet today, and you're rarely quiet," I look at him in concern.
"You know you're cute when you look like that?" He whispers and I blush.
"Isaiah I'm a whole mess, now no changing the subject!" I scold, he chuckles.
"But I'm not changing the subject, when you furrow your brows and your face turns into concern, your beautiful eyes light up with concern as well and you do this little pouting thing with your lips", he continues and if it wasn't for my dark skin, my face would be as red as a rose.
"Isaiah," I warn.
"Ok, ok Eloise you caught me, you see tomorrow is one of my days off and I was wondering if you would join me tomorrow night, your parents already agreed," he says bashfully and I have to admit I've never seen Isaiah so shy. It was adorable.
"So that's what the look was about, Isaiah I would love to but..." I stop mid-sentence remembering how Mama and Papa were concerned about how I never take time off from my work. Then it hits me, tomorrow is the weekend, I've been working so much, all the days just blend together.
"I would love to join you Isaiah, say where are we going I missed it?"
"That's because I didn't say, you're going to have to find out tomorrow," he says smiling that dazzling smile of his.
