Destiny's Fates

Chapter 15

“Well Doll, if you marry me, I might just have to request that you make me breakfast every Sunday morning.” James laughed. “That was some of the best food I have ever had.”

Derrek nodded, “You are pretty, smart and you can cook. The total package.” He is wearing jeans also but has paired it with a short-sleeve plain black t-shirt. All he needs is a leather jacket and he has the “bad boy” style down.

I laughed, “I made bacon, eggs and hashbrowns. Those are easy to make.”

Chris shook his head, “My mom can burn water. It’s nice to see a female that when she cooks, we don’t have to order takeout.”

“Okay, enough with the flattery. We need to make a game plan. We have 18 places to go and hopefully meet these guys. One of them must be my Fate, or else who knows what will happen.” I stand up and start clearing the table.

The guys also stand, and James takes the plate out of my hands. “Sit Doll. You made breakfast, we clean up.” They all take the plates and pans to the sink. Derrek starts loading the dishwasher, while James wipes down the table. I sit back down and finish my cup of coffee. I really could get used to this; too bad I only get one of them for the rest of my life.

“Des, is there a reason this piece of bacon is on the counter?”

I bolt upright, and gently smack myself on the forehead. “I totally forgot about it. I promised Cherry that she could have some bacon if she stayed out of my way. “

Chris laughed, “Is it okay if I give it to her now?”

I nodded, “Absolutely. It is probably better if you give it to her anyway since I forgot about it. She tends to hold grudges.”

Cherry happily ran to Chris, sat, laid down, and rolled over back into sit without any prompting. Chris laughed, “Here you go pup. Thanks for the show.” Cherry carefully took the bacon from Chris’s hand, then ran back under the table to start eating it.

Derrek loaded a dishwasher pod into the dishwasher, closed it and started it. “Well gang, guess we should make a plan.”

I nod, “Let’s go to the living room and talk.” The guys follow my lead, and soon we are all sitting down, James and Derrek on the Couch with myself in the yellow chair and Chris in the blue one.

“Okay, I brought I map with me that I have carefully marked all the addresses of the 18 potential Fate on.” James carefully spread it out on the table. “I may have had some trouble falling asleep last night.”

Chris looked at the map. “Looks like there are three main areas where they live, and a few scattered throughout.” Chris points to the main road. “If we take this road, we should be able to hit all of them.”

We all nod. “Okay, how are we doing this? All in one car? Who is driving?”

“I can drive.” All three guys said at once.

I laughed, “Okay. Who is better at navigation? We will have that person drive, and the other two guys can sit in the back and figure out who we are going to be talking to, so that way when I knock on the door, I know who to ask for.”

They guys all nod. “I can drive then Doll. Chris and Derrek can use the printouts and the map to tell us who we are visiting.”

I stand, and the guys mimic me. “Okay then.” I look James in the eyes. “Your car or mine?”
