Chapter 35 - (Filler) Family Outing (1/2)
May Palker Pov
I'm now 28 years old and single. I wasn't always single, I was actually happily married to the most positive and loving man, Ben Parker. Ben was 4 years older than me but we had known each other since small. Our chemistry was something only seen in those teen love story.
The only difference is we never got the chance to grow old together. Life is cruel as a passing criminal took his life. No matter how much time passes or how many handsome men approach me, I will always remember the love I have for Ben.
I know Ben wouldn't want me spending my life lonely. So over the years, I've looked for a man to love and grow old with but it's hard to find someone who is as genuine and caring as Ben, so they all into just a fling. My love life could be said to be very bleak and disappointing.
Peter is the only thing I care for most. Being the last of the Parker family I take great care of him. I take on the role of being a father figure and mother figure while also playing the trusted elder sister role.
I'm happy with how my dorky little nephew is turning out. He recently got a job at a place that was formerly called ”Rose's palace” that was then changed to ”The Little Palace”
After getting this job he's begun helping me with paying the rent. He's also had many things delivered including some fabric, sewing machine and some electronic parts.
I ȧssumed that electronic parts are for some science thing. When I asked him what the fabric and sewing machine was for he began to excitedly tell me about a website that held endless stories.
Out of curiosity I took to look into it and became quite the fan of ”Lord Of The Rings” but I really wish A.M.D would write something along the lines of romance. I've read his other stuff and seen that he can write romance but he clearly held back as to not take away from the adventure or the main plot.
Where was I, ah that's right Peter he's been working as a delivery man? What I don't understand is how 60% of the time he'll come back all roughed up with buries. He also disappears in the middle of the night with no prior notice. I'm naturally worried and have been waiting for Peter to come forward on his own but I don't know how long I can wait before I never see him return.
So I thought of checking out the place where he works to see if the owner knows anything. Also, cause Peter brought back the best burger and fries I've ever had but I'll be sure to find out where Pete has been going, one way or another.
I was now walking behind Peter and his friend Ned as they led me towards their workplace. As we get closer I smell an intoxicating fragrance that was continuously seducing me into becoming its loyal servant. I was beginning to forget what I came here for as my stomach started thinking for me with its angry rumbling.
'What is this smell? Where is it coming from?'
With that thought, I continue to follow Peter while reminding myself for why I'm here. We finely come to a stop as a small crowed walk out a charming little shop. As the shop door open I'm once again hit by a sweet fragrance. When the group finely left I saw another group made up of 3 beautiful women and one handsome man.
I could be said to beautiful but compared to the supermodel-like face and body of these four than I could only be considered pretty. I sigh and let Perter lead me into the shop.
The shop was immaculate from the marble flooring to the table not a single scratch or dent. I unconsciously lightened my footstep as to not ruin the marble.
Lofi music played ever so quietly from a charming wooden radio. The shop gave me a warm welcoming feeling that could only resemble the feeling of a home.
'That smell! It's coming from the kitchen! Remember what I'm here for'
Me, Peter, Ned and the other group approach the counter. About a second later a man that could only be described as God.
He stood at 6,3 with a slim yet powerful build. Wearing a buŧŧoned white shirt with the sleeves rolled up neatly.
'This man can't be normal he's too perfect I don't believe it. I think this definitely the place to begin my investigation on what peters been up to'
That was my initial thought but as I watch and listen to how he talks to Peter, I realise that he genuinely cares about what they are talking about. Reminds me of Ben when he listened to Peter talk about his love for science even though he knew very little about science. I was currently reminiscing the past with a goofy smile on my face.
” Yep, these two are my daughters. So, what's your first impression, I hope the place isn't disappointing,” Said the handsome man
I didn't at all hear what he had said as I was still daydreaming. So Peter nudged me with his elbow, this pulled me out of the little world. My thoughts focus back to the handsome owner as I got a better look at his blue eyes and a warm smile. Then I see the two cute daughters who gave a cheerful smile.
”Sorry, I wasn't listening,” I said sincerely
His blond-haired daughter replied ”That not good, Teacher said it's rude to ignore people”
Then the short black-haired daughter followed up ”Hmm Aunty is bad, ignoring”
The handsome man stepped in and said ”As I had said My name is Theodore Hunt and these two trouble makers are my daughter Rose and Chloe. It's nice to meet you if you have any questions about Peters job as a takeaway delivery man then I will gladly answer”
”Ah Thank you, but I think I should let the others order first,” I said honestly noticing that I was holding up the line.
