Breakfast of Champions [RP for lapsedsaint and no_rainbows

[aesthetic_mojo]

Charlotte barely slept. Between the upcoming holiday, her discoveries about her family and Farah's impending visit, there was no way she could close her eyes. She sat up for hours just watching John sleep, petting one or the other kitten as they rotated in and out of the warmest spot between them

He knew they were having a guest, but he had no desire to get up. So it wasn't until Al appeared on his back, claws out, as he was escaping Charlie, that he woke up.

And that waking was with a rough yelp of pain. Al had enough sense to leave before he was a kitten Popsicle and John dragged himself from bed.

A shower and dressing made him feel better, then he was joining Charlie in the living room. 'Stop pacing. You're making me edgy."

Charlotte stopped for a moment, leaning against the back of the couch to look him over to see how he looked. "I can't help it. I would do laps, but this place is too small. All that's left is pacing."

She put a hand out to him. "Give me something better to do?"

[lapsedsaint]

He took her hand and pulled her around to sit on his lap. Once she was down, he started kissing her neck as his arms tightened around her. "How about this? Distracting enough?"

Farah was nervous despite Grady helping her to relax when he woke her up two hours before she had to go to Char's, just like they had agreed. She was sure John was going to hate her, he sounded so subdued and....proper. She just wasn't really. Hello, she was an eighteen and pregnant by a man twice her age. Not that it should matter but also her personality was fairly hyper at the best of times. She would have to watch what she said and just...well everything.

She was sure Grady laughed at her when she chose a pair of new black slacks and then a very nice, plain plum colored babydoll top. It was a little plain for her but she wanted to make a good first impression.

Appearing outside of Char's place, she looked around before combing her fingers through her hair quickly to make sure it wasn't mussed. Clearing her throat, she knocks lightly and waits.

Farah just stares at Char for a second, "Uh, because it is?" She offers before chuckling just a little. It was weird to think of it that way, that they were being...domestic. Watching them kiss, she smiled a little as John blushed which she thought was very sweet. She had never seen Grady blush and she didn't think she ever would.

Looking at Char, she nods, "Well, that sounds fun. Scaring the driver but yeah, we will have fun." She needed it.

"When should we head out?"

[aesthetic_mojo]

Charlotte looked at the table where their barely touched food was. "I say I go call the car service, tell them to come on over, and we can keep picking at this until he gets here." She grinned at John. "And John can entertain you with stories of how nuts I am to live with."

[lapsedsaint]

John stood, the kittens both disappearing and reappearing on the couch. He went into the kitchen and got more coffee for himself, then brought the pot to refill Charlie's cup. He squeezed her shoulder before heading back.

He returned with a phone for Charlie and sat back down. "I'm not a story teller. Not really."

[no_rainbows]

Farah really did try to remind herself that she needed to eat more but maybe it was just being used to not eating in the morning because of the months of morning sickness. Nodding her head, she smiles, "Okay."

Then she is tempted with stories of how Char is nuts to live with, "You don't need to be a good storyteller to tell me something good." She looked at John, chuckling.
