"Oh, I'm so happy he got on at the Soap Factory," Yuki was pleased her old friend from high school was back. "I haven't seen him in ages." She smiled as if she might be his biggest fan.
"Don't tell me, you want to have his baby?" Remi's stern look made Yuki shrink back.
Yuki then laughed. "Oh, you are so funny." Although, the laughter wasn't completely real. Yes, it was true if there was anyone earth who was her choice. It was Brandon. "You've met him."
"I have not," Remi said she would have known.
"It was that time we went at the Riverfest," Yuki said. "We weren't together then. It was a chili cookoff. He won the chili cookoff."
Remi was making vegetarian chili at the moment. Basically, it was because they didn't have any meat and she was putting in what veg she had around.
"You..you should let him cook for us, sometime," Yuki was now even lipped as she waited to ask her next question.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Remi could sound like a drill sergeant when she wanted to. It almost made Yuki jump. Remi kept busy in the kitchen.
"I..I told Brandon, he could sleep on our couch." Yuki nursed her bottom lip.
"Seriously?" Remi winced.
"He just needs a place to stay, until..until.."
"Until what?"
"I don't know." Yuki shrugged as Remi looked back at her.
"I only made enough for the three of us," Remi fretted. The rice was almost done. "Declan is coming for dinner."
"Brandon won't be here until later," Yuki sighed as if it wouldn't be that bad to have Brandon around. Of course, Remi didn't argue.
Maybe make more rice!
ReplyDeletelove rice...
ReplyDeleteI am curious what Brandon will cook for them of course if Remi agree for that activity!
ReplyDeleteVegetables are good, there doesn't always have to be meat :-)
ReplyDeleteRice is simple and easy to cook so it won't be a big deal to add some more.
ReplyDeleteI eat rice all the time ahaha!!

I think there is a lot more going on than the rice situation. Who wants to make more rice when it's already done? And who might not want to meet Brandon, either? I have to wonder about Yuki & Remi's relationship. And of course, Declan coming to dinner.

Poor Rumi.

So Brandon is more than Izzy's new conquest. I should've known! Your "side" characters have a way of unspooling their own stories; and it's always interesting! In a similar vein, I was caught off guard by the reemergence of Declan. Oh, Declan . . .
ReplyDeleteHooray for including my little heart pic! And I love the quote; I'm definitely living in a material world, ha ha. :)
Oh, I love that heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Oh..yes, Declan..somebody has to look out for him these days. & Yuki just might be the one to do it...=) So Brandon's got his own faults too...but what would Izzy think? More to unravel....
