Roast

"About that, don't you think it was a bit strange?" he inquired.
"What is strange?"
"The way your father behaved, don't you think it's strange?" Without waiting for her reply, he explained further, "Like he seemed to be really very reluctant about me in the morning but now—"
Snuggling closer, she sighed, "He was placing food in your plate honey, that is a good sign."
Caressing her back, he nodded his head, "Uh huh, pigs are fed too before they are chopped and turned into a delicious roast."
"Babe, are you trying to say that my dad will murder you and then eat you up?" Placing her chin on his chest, she chuckled. "Hmm Sebastian roast doesn't sound that bad."
"Seriously, are you planning to support me or make me more nervous?"
"You are just overthinking Seb, everything is good and I think dad has started loving you. Now all you have to do is cuddle and make me feel warm," she stated.
Kissing the top of her head, he pulled her closer before covering both of them with the comforter. "El, why do you always threaten me like that?"
"I never threaten you," she retorted.
"You just did and you always do. What is it with you leaving our place and moving to your old apartment with Bojo and Boji?" he frowned.
Looking at him, she chuckled, "Because I know how precious we are to you and there is no way you would let us leave." Shrugging her shoulder, she added, "Well, it's also fun doing that because you tend to listen."
"I always listen to you, don't I?"
"Yes you do Sebastian now let me sleep." Snuggling closer, she instructed, "Sleep early and don't even think of working after I am asleep."
"Work? How am I supposed to do that? I don't have files or—"
Cutting him off, she snapped, "What makes you think I did not see the laptop that you have secretly packed? You are on vacation, it's time to relax and sleep more."
Left with no other choice, he sighed and nodded his head. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Next morning
8:00 am
Ellie's room.
"You are up early honey, why don't you sleep more?" Harry inquired.
"It's okay dad, I wake up early now-a-days," she answered.
Raising his brows, he asked, "Early? Why? Do you have to make breakfast for Mr Boss?"
Vigorously shaking her head, she chuckled, "No, Sebastian makes breakfast for both of us in the morning." When Harry gave her a confused look, she quickly added, "A-And he brings it over to my place or directly in the office."
"I see, so he wakes up early in the morning?"
"He is an early bird and it's really very rare for him to sleep for a long time." Glancing at the watch, she added, "I will go and wake him up."
"Bring him down after that, I am making coffee for everyone. I guess I can make an extra cup for him as well," Harry stated.
Giving her dad a hug, Ellie smiled, "Thanks dad, I love you."
Patting her head, Harry was about to leave again when she called him out again. "Dad please add only half tablespoon sugar for Seb, he doesn't really like sweet things, especially sweet coffee."
Raising his brows, he thought for awhile and smiled, "Of course, I will remember that."
After he left, Ellie quickly rushed towards the guest room. She left the room early in the morning after Sebastian woke her up. She was planning to take another nap but decided not to.
….
Inside the guest room.
When she saw Sebastian peacefully sleeping, she smiled and made her way towards him. Sitting right beside him, she gently caressed his face. It was very rare for him to sleep this late as he was always either working or thinking about it. Though his workaholic habits were not intense like before but he still overworked himself at times. He would pull out all nighters some time after she is fell asleep
This is also one of the reasons why she agreed to go on vacation, she wanted Sebasian to relax and stay away from work for some time.
Slowly lifting his arm, she slowly lied down beside him and placed his hand on her waist.
Just then, Sebastian suddenly kissed her nape and murmured, "Good morning."
"Good morning Mr Boss, it's almost coffee time so you need to wake up." Squeezing his cheeks, she chuckled, "Your morning face is so cute."
Burying his face on her neck, he inquired, "What time is it?"
"It's almost 8:30 and dad is making coffee for all of us," she answered.
Scrunching his brows, he quickly got up. "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"You were looking so handsome and peaceful while sleeping, I didn't have a heart to wake you up," he answered.
Without wasting any time, he got down from the bed. "I'll quickly freshen."
"Seb, aren't you forgetting something?"
"Forgetting what? Was I supposed to do something?" he inquired.
"Nevermind, go freshen up fast," she sighed.
"I'll be back in a minute."
…..
Downstairs.
Inside the kitchen.
"So you are making coffee for Sebastian as well?" Judith curiously inquired.
"Uh huh, making coffee for everyone so I thought it would be rude if I didn't make one for him. Ellie would surely feel bad about it," Harry answered.
Raising her brows, she snapped, "Okay, what are you trying to do?"
"What? Me? I am trying to do nothing."
"Oh come on Harry, we have been married for more than twenty-eight years now and I know inside out," she retorted.
Scrunching his brows, Harry remarked, "You have a problem when I don't be nice to him and you also have doubts when I try to be nice to him. What am I supposed to do? No, you tell me, am I supposed to be nice to him or not?"
