The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 57

What did she say?

With messy morning hair, a yawning mouth, and sleepy eyes, Peach walked into the lobby in a large t shirt and shorts, and then smiled, not caring that James and Matt were there.

A month plus with these guys had made her so comfortable with their presence that she didn’t care for her look or to act formally anymore with them.

“James, what is for breakfast,” Peach asked softly, smiling as their eyes locked.

A warm expression graced his face as he grinned at her and said, “Pancake, muffins, toast, bacon, eggs…”

The Sound of the front door opening caused him to glance back and frown as Ryan let out, walking into the lobby. “Did someone say egg… I hope it’s not burnt.”

A wide smile spread against Peach’s face as her eyes widened and she shouted, “Ryan, Rookie!! You guys!!!”

“Peach!” Ryan replied, grinning as he turned away from James and looked at her.

As she was about to head over to hug them, Peach felt a presence behind her and immediately stopped in her tracks.

Turning slightly around, she saw Elijah standing behind her, and her face instantly flushed “Morning,” Peach said quietly, looking down and trying to avoid eye contact with him as she rubbed the nape of her neck.

Watching the two, Ryan gave Matt, who was standing by him, a side glance and whispered, “I wondered what happened between these two during the past month? Did they…”

Shrugging his shoulder, Matt sighed, darting his gaze away from Peach and Elijah and focusing on him, saying, “Seriously,” “Well, I need to know if I will be getting easy cash from you soon,” Ryan teased, patting Matt on the back and winking at him.

Shaking his head, Matt focused back on Elijah when he said, “Ryan, Rookie… Can we talk in my room?”
