Chapter 11

It's Brodie's 25th birthday today, and thankfully he isn't working today or tomorrow, so I am able to be awake before him and get myself downstairs, ready for when he wakes up, so that I can cook him some breakfast.

That man deserves a rest. A day of doing as little as possible.

It gets to around 8:30am and I think I can hear Brodie moving around upstairs. I go into the kitchen and find some eggs to crack into a frying pan, along with some bacon, tomatoes, and some bread for the toaster. Once the pan is heated and ready, I lay some bacon in it, then I crack some eggs into it and add the tomatoes, making everything sizzle as it fries.

"Yum, something smells delicious" I hear Brodie behind me. I turn to face him, noticing that he still has bed head and is also still wearing what he wore to bed, t-shirt and bottoms.

"Happy birthday, sleepy head" I smile.

"Thank you" He smiles as he pulls me in for a hug. "How are you this morning?" He asks as he releases me.

"I'm fine, and I slept well, you?" I return the question.

"Glad to hear it.. and I am feeling refreshed" He answers.

"Are you feeling hungry?" I ask as I turn my attention back to the little fry-up I'm making, putting some bread in the toaster.

"Yes I am" He answers.

"Good, because I have a birthday treat for you" I tell him.

Once the food is ready, I serve it all onto a plate for Brodie and pass it to him.

"Did you not make yourself any?" He questions confused.

"I'm not feeling very hungry right now" I shrug.

"Bella, you need to eat" He insists.

"I will, I promise. Just a bit later on" I assure him. He starts eating his breakfast and smiles with each bite he takes.

"This is really good, Bella" He compliments, then puts some of it onto a fork for me. "Please, try just one mouthful. I already feel guilty for eating in front of you while you don't eat" He insists. I roll my eyes and take the forkful.

"You're right, it is really nice" I smile as I chew.

"Are you sure you're not hungry?" He questions.

"I'll have some fruit when I feel like eating, but I'm feeling quite content at the moment" I smile and nod.

"Good. You need to look after yourself and little man" He tells me. I sit down next to him as he continues eating his breakfast.

"I need to apologise to you" I say, he looks up at me and furrows his eyebrows.

"Why?" He asks.
