128 128 Getting Ready for the Meeting (1/2)
Gabriel watched her cringe and smiled sadly. ”It is good that she is so thoughtful. Does it taste that bad?” He slowly got out of bed and adjusted his yukata.
Looking at Gabriel and looking away fast she blushes deeply. ”I-it is but at the same time, it is how I am able to live. So it is not something I complain about. It hurts my Mother and Father when they see me taking the medication.” Amelia shakes her head and a tear falls down her cheek.
Gabriel walks up to her and lifts her chin up and kisses the tear away. ”I understand. I will try to mask the taste for you. I know that you are used to it but I think that it would be best for me to try. That way when your parents see you take it they can see that I am working on improving things just for you.” Gabriel swiftly picks her up causing her to squeal and giggle.
Miyuki came back to the room at this point and opened the door. She blushed and looked away. ”Ahem, ummmmmm, I am sorry to interrupt but I have returned with breakfast.” Still looking away she blushes.
Gabriel carries Amelia to the table, sets her down in her spot, and kisses her on the lips. ”Come in, Miyuki. This is nothing to get shy about. It was good timing because there is not a lot of time left until we need to get going and you are coming with us so that Amelia has someone else to watch after her.”
Amelia blushes deeply and places her hand on Gabriel's hand. ”Thank you for bringing the meal to us and I would agree that I would love for you to come with us. Although you might have to stay in the carriage during the meeting. I hope that you do not mind.”
Miyuki carried the two trays of food in and placed them in front of the happy couple.”I will come with you but I will sit outside that carriage so that I do not disturb you two. I have already eaten as there is still a lot that I need to do. The children will be in a moment they want to give you something Amelia.” She walks back to the door, coming back with the tea. She then bows and leaves the room.
”Itadakimasu.” They both say at the same time. Amelia giggles and eats a piece of the egg roll smiling.
Gabriel watches her eat before starting on his meal. ”I hope you do not mind the children helping pick out some things for you.”
'I love that she says our and not mine.' Gabriel takes her finger that is holding the grain of rice and licks it, cleaning the rice away. ”Thank you. You don't have to clean my face for me but you can just tell me when it is there. I think that you would make a wonderful mother.” He pulls her close and kisses her on the lips.
”You've become a kissing fiend.” Amelia covers her cheeks and looks away.
”Only for you. I won't kiss you when there are others around but when we are alone that is a different story.” Gabriel pulls away but holds her hand for a little longer, that is until the door opens and the children come rushing in.
”GOOD MORNING!” They both scream and walk to the table carrying a package each and they set it on the table followed by Miyuki. She shakes her head and hangs the yukata on the changing screen. She smiles and bows. ”I told you that they were excited.
”Good morning to both of you.” Amelia ate the egg roll and placed the chopsticks down. ”Gochisousama. What have you brought for me?” Amelia holds out her hands.
Itsuki picked up the package and hands it to Amelia. ”This is for you!”
Amelia took her time opening the package while smiling. She looked down and the obi and pouch. ”Wow, thank you. Did you pick these out yourself?”
”I had help but they look really beautiful.” Itsuki smiles and walks back so that Mayumi could hand her gift over.
