Husband With Benefits

"Big Mama. Thank you for the breakfast."

Miss Martha looked at the handsome man in front of her and smiled. This one here was a good boy, despite being an ’influencer’. But he was too thin. And the sadness around his eyes, she just didn’t like it. Even though she had seen the pictures he’d shared of when he had just started recovering and he’d built up now, she felt that this boy could use some fattening up. And so, she did not hesitate to add another scoop of butter on the young’s man’s stack of pancakes.

"You’re welcome. Erasmi, you’ve been here for a few days but you haven’t even explored the town. Why don’t you go look around at the scenery. Our town is small but we have a lot of pretty places. They used to be crowded and full of picnicking families in the past but these days hardly ever anyone ventures outside, so they are very tranquil. Do you want me to give you a map?"

Eramsi paused and nodded his head," Thank you, big mama. I don’t need a map, but I would like recommendations. Any places aroudn town that a young boy might enjoy?"

"A young boy? Sure there are many! I’ll go and write down the directions for you right away!" Big Mama hurriedly bustled away while Erasmi shook his head. The lady did not seem to value any GPS systems. She reminded him so much of that old man Elijah Frost!

After the hearty breakfast and detailed instructions from Big mama about a small lake where they could go fishing and boating, Erasmi finally went to make ’The Call’.

In the small room, he carefully brought out the photo album that Caius’ mother had given him and picked up the picture of a six-month-old Caius. And grinned. Time to create some havoc. Grabbing his phone, he clicked the picture of the photo and sent it into the group.

Seb: "Why would you send a baby’s picture?"

Ian: "Cute baby. You go on a trip and send baby pictures? I remember asking you to share your escapades! What are you up to Erasmi Frost?"
