Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 78

(A/N: Thank you for all the kind reviews, as promised this chapter is part of the mini mass release as a thank you to all who have taken the time to leave a review!)

"Yes, I slept very deeply last night. What about you? How are your injuries?" she asked, yawning. Her eyes were still watery from just waking up.

Julian chuckled, seeing her drowsy state. "I slept great, fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed, although the mattress at the post office was nicer."

He walked over and began brewing a pot of coffee. "Go sit down. What do you want to eat? There’s still one bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich left. Let me heat it up for you."

Rayne walked over to sit at the table in a daze, but her cheeks still flushed from his kind gesture. "Thank you, it’s been a long time since someone made breakfast for me," she said shyly.

Julian shook his head while placing the frozen breakfast sandwich into the toaster oven. "Well, the most I’m doing really is heating it up for you, so I can’t take all the credit. But this coffee will be amazing, just watch."

Rayne giggled, thinking he was really adorable when he joked around like this.

When the coffee finished, he poured some into two mugs, then retrieved the toasted breakfast sandwich from the toaster oven and brought it to the table.

"Here, be careful; it’s hot," he said as he placed the coffee and sandwich in front of Rayne.

She smiled. "Thank you. It smells so good." She carefully took a sip of the coffee, savoring the addictive, bitter taste of freshly brewed coffee.

Julian watched her eat, then suddenly asked, "Are you busy tonight?"

She placed the mug down and looked at him questioningly. "Am I busy? No, why?" She wasn’t sure what she could be busy with.

"So... I was wondering... if you wanted to watch a movie with me tonight," Julian asked, lightly fidgeting with his cup of coffee, feeling a little nervous.

Rayne felt her face flush slightly as her heart pounded. Nodding, she replied, "Yes, I’d love to."

Julian smiled, feeling relieved. "Awesome. So how about dinner time? We can eat in my room while we watch a movie; I have one picked out!"

"Okay! Sounds good, I’ll make something nice for dinner then," replied Rayne happily. She had not expected Julian to take the initiative to invite her over, but felt very happy inside.

She had just recently realized that she had feelings for him and wanted to see where they would lead.

Once Rayne finished eating, Julian stood up and cleaned her plate for her. As he washed the dirty dishes, he turned his head toward Rayne. "Oh, can you give me that black box from yesterday? I’m gonna bring it down to the lab and see if I can get it open."

She came across a cute pair of jeans and decided to wear them with a cute top. The top she picked out was a green off-the-shoulder top with long sleeves. The material was very light and soft, making it breathable and comfortable to wear. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}
