Only You

56| Meet my Maman

Yesterday was our last day on our trip to Santorini and today we had made our way back to Monaco. I loved being in Santorini but there was something different about Monaco that was just right. 

Whether it was the breeze or just the way it was pleasantly quiet, there was no place quite like it. 

And in that silence I was laying in my little home library reading away. Charles had found me a large bean bag and a little table to put in the room so I could be comfortable with a little coffee in the room. 

The windows were open and you could hear the faint dialogue of the people outside along with the notes of piano being played by Charles. 

In his free time Charles loved to play the piano. And I loved listening to it. He had a way with the instrument that made it perfect for him. The music flowed through him and sometimes I would go sit in the room with him while he was playing and just sit to the side and read. 

Which is what I decided to go do now. "Knock knock" I say while popping my head into the room. Charles eye slowly find mine. "Who's there?" Charles jokes with me. "Someone here to bother you." I add to the joke. And I was telling the truth, I was bored and wanted attention from my boyfriend. 

"You could never bother me amour" He smiles reaching for my hand as it landed on his shoulder. "You won't be saying that in a few years" I smile at him. "You really believe that I could get tired of you!" He acts offended. 

"Very easily. Anyways I'm here to see what you are doing" I slide my hands into his hair. "I'm just messing around with some notes I put together" He says nonchalantly. "It sounded beautiful though." I lean down and kiss his cheek. 

"Thank you maybe I'll turn it into something" he smiles and my heart flutters. "Alright but tell me what do you want for dinner I can make something tonight" I sit down sideways in his lap. 

"Oh um I forgot to tell you this morning that my maman want to have a family dinner tonight and wants to meet you..." I just look at him with wide eyes. 

"Charles you couldn't tell me sooner I need to make something to take then I need to figure out what to wear and what your mother likes!" I start to panic. "Relax you don't need to bring anything but yourself" Charles reassures me. 

"Oh c'mon that means she's expecting me to bring something. What does your mother like?" I ask. "Umm she said that she insists on making all the dinner herself so I really don't think you need to bring anything my love" Charles follows me into the kitchen where I was searching through the fridge. 

"Then I can make something for dessert. Your brothers are coming as well right and their girlfriends" I ask running around the kitchen. 

"Yes and some friends but please stop stressing there is no need." Charles' eye follow me around the kitchen. 

"But I want to make a good impression and this is the way to do it" I stop and look at him. "Everyone there loves chocolate sponge cake" Is all he says. 

"Thank you for telling me I'm going to make one right now!" I run and kiss his cheek before going to get the ingredients and searching up the recipe. 

"Charles can you do me a huge favor?" I ask. "Sure what is it" He walks into the kitchen. "I need you to go down to the corner store and get some butter we are out can you get some please" I ask him. 

"Of course I'll be right back" He says grabbing his wallet and keys. "Thank you" I yell as I hear the door close. 

Just then I remember that I also need flowers for Pascale. I quickly send Charles a text to tell him to get her favorite flowers. He tells me ok and I get back to making the cake.
