225 Building a Family

Lina and Will emerged from the pantry both red in the face and slightly embarrassed. A puddle of pasta and lentils spilled out of the small cupboard when they exited and Lina just tried pulling on her pyjama top as quickly as possible before they left the kitchen.

"She's gone to bed," Will whispered to Lina when he scanned the dark home for any sign of Julie.

"Okay," Lina nodded in a hushed whisper, "Go check that she's sleeping and not on her phone, and I'll have a shower first," she said decidedly.

His attention was suddenly peaked when she mentioned a 'shower', "Oh? Do you need any help?" he asked innocently.

"What?" she muttered under her breath. Lina shoved him pathetically, but he didn't even move an inch from his place and instead he just laughed, looking slightly amused.

"Seriously?" she exclaimed, "You are so greedy, Will! Leave me alone you are terrible do you know that?!"

"You always say that!" he said smacking her behind, "But you love it... admit it my love."
