Thread: Temporary Good-byes
WHO: Cressida Hallowfen and Micah Kaden
WHEN: Jul. 9, morning
WHERE: Cressida's Bungalow

Cressida was going to leave the next day for the airport. She'd catch a flight from New York to London, and from there catch another flight to Yorkshire. There she'd spend two weeks with her parents and likely endure a thousand questions about Micah and the school, and how she was handling things. Not to mention the fact she'd been possessed by Hecate the previous year. After that time, she'd fly to Greece with her parents and see more of her extended family and others of her religion. It was a pretty big thing with them, considering Hecate hadn't touched this plane in hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

Right now, she opened her eyes and stretched in the bed a little, not needing to open her eyes to know that Micah still rested next to her. He was already rather busy this summer with going to find teens who would eventually become students, once they got out of their precarious situations. Now she would be leaving for a month. The two had used the night before to leave lasting memories to hold them over and make both eager for their eventual reunion.

Cressida turned and glanced at the clock, seeing it was the morning but not too late into it. She had the rest of the day to finish her packing. Turning her head, she saw Micah lying on his side with his eyes closed. It was debatable as to whether or not he was asleep. She leaned over to press a kiss on his lips before slipping out of the bed and reaching for the robe she wrapped around her naked form. Grabbing a clip, she twirled her dark hair up to keep it out of her way as she went to the kitchen to start cooking their breakfast.

The scent of bacon and eggs filled the air, and if Micah wasn't awake already, the tasty aroma was sure to rouse him.

The smell of food would always rouse a bear in the morning. Kaden's tummy rumbled and he rolled over with a murmur in his throat, reaching to put an arm around Cressida before he was completely awake, but found that her side of the bed was empty. Only then did he register that the thing that had awakened him had been the delicious smell on the air. His nose twitched and he smiled, climbing out of bed. Kaden paused only long enough to pull his soft sweatpants on and rake his fingers through his sleep rumpled hair before going out to investigate.

Seeing Cressida in the kitchen, her robe clinging to her naked figure, her dark hair having that messy quality that he found incredibly attractive, Kaden had to stop and simply admire her. He felt a swelling in his chest. Kaden knew he loved Cressida, but he had yet to say it out loud within her earshot - or at all. Kaden didn't know why he held back. Maybe it was his dead wife. Maybe it was her bad romantic history he was afraid to bring up feelings from. Whatever it was, Kaden hadn't said it. He hadn't had a need to. Not yet. They were happy just like they were.

"Mmmm," he murmured, coming up behind Cressida at the stove to slide his arms around her waist. "Something smells absolutely irresistible." Kissing her neck, Kaden tickled her skin with his beard to distract and stole a piece of bacon straight from the pan. "It's the bacon," Kaden said the words against her ear before making a quick escape out of arms reach like he was a teenager again dodging a swat from his mother.

"Oooh hot, hot, hot," Micah complained as he bit into the still sizzling bacon.

She could hear Micah stirring. He was a large man and so the shifting of the mattress on the bed clued her in to his movement. Breakfast was nearly ready. The only thing that was waiting to finish was the bacon, and that cooked almost as quickly as the eggs. The toast was hot on its tail. She moved about the kitchen before she returned to the frying pan and removed the splatter screen just as Micah joined her. "Does it now?" she asked, though she had a feeling it was the food. Micah's appetite both in bed and at the table were pretty even. Her shoulder lifted a bit as his facial hair teased at her neck.

The distraction worked and a piece of bacon was in his grasp. It was a good thing that Micah dodged because she had seized the splatter screen and swiped at him. It made a soft "whoosh" as it missed him entirely. "I see how it is," she said pointing the screen at him, "You flatter me with your words and kisses but it's just food you're after." As reprimanding as her voice came out, she was smiling and then she laughed.

"Serves you right," she shook her head and then moved the bacon from the heat. There was a pleasant comfort in this sort of situation. Waking up and having breakfast together. She was going to miss that when she went abroad. Truthfully, she'd miss a lot of things about him. The way his laugh made his broad chest rumble and how they could sit and talk over wine or scotch for a while about nearly anything.

She placed the remaining pieces of bacon on the plates, giving only a couple of pieces to herself and the majority to Micah. "One of these days I'll make you a proper English breakfast. Or maybe you can come to England with me sometime and have it straight from the source." She knew he was going to be occupied this summer between collecting new students and his own classes. But she wouldn't miss him in her traveling if he was there with her.
