Me,myself and my pride (wakey wakey eggs and bakey) -Part 2-

“Oh this is it!” his pride rubbed her hands together as if she would be eating the words that came out of the girls mouth. “She wants to hurry up so she can go.” His pride scooted even closer to the girl who had a shy smile and eyes searching for words. “Yep, more games…its just more games. The girl wants a quick meal.” His pride smiled sweetly at him her eyes shining catching the light.

“She had no idea I was taking her here, I told her I would get her breakfast when we left her house.” Steven looked at his pride as he dried his hands. “Her friend just text me thinking we were going to McDonalds.”

“Exactly.” His pride was busy straightening the place mats on the table “She wanted you to order her a sausage Mc biscuit not try and cook one.

“I just…” Steven started before his guest interrupted him.

“I don’t mean to rush into this but how many kids did you want? Like just one or two or did you want the whole Nevada college basketball team.” He quickly turned his face away from his guest to a nearby window to feign interest in the weather. He had not expected a question like that, he had nearly let his pride convince him that this girl was just…but then his pride was always skeptical of any woman he introduced her to. After he had turned his back on his pride for a girl once before, his pride now acted like the sole guardian of his heart. She took her job seriously.

“I see…well I have always wanted a little girl…” his pride throw her hands down on the table in hysterical laughter

“Is this serious? Is she serious? She’s already thinking this far ahead? What, she already loves you?” His pride affectionately rubbed the girl’s cheek with the back of her hand. “Have you been keeping this beautiful young woman away from me? How long have you know her?” she smiled almost singing. Steven slowly drank milk as he watched his pride with one eye. He drew a refreshing breath and smiled bracing himself for the impact of his reply.

“Two nights.”

“Only two nights?” she suddenly stopped rising slowly from her chair. “Then surely you don’t believe any of this do you?” His pride pointed accusingly at his guest. “The girl has not even known you a month! Are you fool?” He laughed tossing back his head.

“I thought you ladies all think far-out like that.” He gave a casual shrug. His guest spoke

“Oh, well cause I thought I would like a little boy, just one you know, and spoil him. Well not spoil, but you know what I mean.”

“I know” Steven smiled approvingly

“You know, but its okay either way.”

“I really like her.” He spoke softly looking at his pride.

“Why? What’s with her?” his pride wrinkled her nose in disgust

“She’s cute, confident and determined. Sexy, and I like her vibe. Plus being the man that I am, I enjoy her booty.”

“Steven…” His pride frowned eyes closed hand on her forehead. Steven continued as if he never heard her.

“Its nice and soft, just the right size for my head. I used it as a pillow one night.”

“Steven.”

“We fell asleep on the floor together the first night we met.”

“Steven!” his pride got up from the table in frustration, and paced around the table. Steven’s guest sat silent eating her food her eyes lost in space. “God! See that’s why! You had sex!” He shook his head as he put away the eggs.

“No, we didn’t. That’s part of why I dig her, she wasn’t playing that game.”

“Steven…” his pride stomped her foot pleading almost whining his name.

“Can I not have a friend?” he frowned. His pride had her face a spoiled frown as she nodded toward the girl.

“She is staring off into space.”

“She is being a space cadet again, been all morning. She just looks off.”

“With the…most awe struck smile on her face.” His pride shook her head in disappointment.

“Is that what it is?” Steven played naïve. His pride sighed as she walked towards him.

“Well, she seems to like you…I approve.” His pride spoke reluctantly as she slowly looked at hum. Her face suddenly full of sympathy and soft. “For now.”

“I really appreciate you doing this, no man has ever cooked breakfast for me, thank-you.” Steven turned to the girl and smiled with approval.

“Well look at you, flattering me.” Steven replied to the girl but watched as his pride silently walked up to him.

“Not at all.” She laughed. “Its perfect, I love it.” Steven’s pride embraced him lovingly, her arms around his neck, she on the tips of her toes spoke into his neck.

“I love you Steven okay? Just don’t go getting hurt again. You have fun, but I’ll be watching. Please listen when I talk.” She whispered. Steven chuckled.

“Well good, glad to hear it.”
