Chapter 107- Burnt Breakfast
Marissa made a pout when her eyes fluttered open and then a trace of a smile touched her lips. For a moment, she wanted to stay in bed but then she reminded herself that she was a mom who needed to attend to her kids before they woke up.
Her hand reached out and grabbed the clock from the nightstand. The moment she glanced at it, her eyes widened, and she bolted upright with a racing heart.
"What the... shit! OMG! It’s late!" Mumbling to herself she scrambled out of the bed. In her rush, she stumbled over the tangled sheets and nearly fell.
"Urgh! Clumsy you! Get a grip. My babies must be hungry," Sophia had to leave early morning and she usually didn’t rely on Flint due to the old man’s odd schedule.
"Strange. Why didn’t the kids barge in my room?" she muttered hurrying out of the bedroom.
She dashed into the living room, expecting full chaos but instead saw something unexpected. The kids were sitting around the coffee table engrossed in a board game and Rafael was explaining something in a very soft voice.
Like last night, Abi was sitting on his lap while Ariel was sitting glued to his hip. Alex was seated across from his father.
"Good morning, sleepy head," A teasing grin appeared on his face when he noticed her standing in the doorway.
Marissa’s heart skipped a beat, and the grin reminded her of the last night’ kiss they shared on the couch.
"Morning!" she replied trying to steady her voice, "Why didn’t you people wake me? What did you have for breakfast?"
"Daddy made scrambled eggs for us, Mommy. He asked us to let you sleep late," Abi explained to her, "he said you worked very hard last night."
