Southern-Fried Ranting

[crawler_kid]

Angel was mad as a wet hen when she came home, several hours earlier than she should have.  With school out, she was working more shifts at the gym, and shouldn't have needed a pick up until later.  Instead, she'd taken the bus part of the way, and then bamfed the rest of the way back

She slammed the door, hard, as she came inside.

"Why those lousy swamp rats, I have half a mind to..."

Angel gave him a tight squeeze. "Love you, Sugah."

And she looked down at Cedric. "Love you too, little darlin'."

[sonoflongshot]

Aiden only let go of Angel long enough to scoop up Cedric and put the wiggling dog in between them. A few chin licks might help distract Angel from the terrible outside world.

Since Cedric had her chin covered, the Mojoworlder kissed his fiancee's cheek. "We'll make a cuddle pile and eat chocolate or something tonight. Tomorrow, we figure out something to do."

He wondered where he put his cellphone. He needed to call into work. He should have some leeway to do so.

[crawler_kid]

Doggie kisses and boyfriend snuggles made everything better.

"Ah like that plan," she agreed. "Ah like it a lot."

[sonoflongshot]

Aiden gave her a lopsided grin. "Good. That's what we'll do."

He tried to hand off Cedric. Otherwise, the Mojoworlder would let the dog get Angel's chin thoroughly soaked.

"Anything you want for dinner? I can make or pick up as needed."

[crawler_kid]

Angel cuddled the little dog to her chest.

"Chicken, maybe?" she asked. "Reckon Ah could go for that."

[sonoflongshot]

"Chicken, certainly. Anything you want, Angel. Anything to help make you feel better." He leaned over and kissed her cheek again.

"Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and greens?"

[crawler_kid]

Angel managed a little smile. "Ah think that sounds pretty darn good."

[sonoflongshot]

He smiled at that little smile. He knew this was horrible news for her, but anything he could do to make her feel better he would do.

"So, the question is, do you want to watch your cook work his magic? Or do you want to pop in one of your movies and relax while I mess up he kitchen?"

[crawler_kid]

"Ah do like to watch mah man work," Angel said.

[sonoflongshot]

Aiden nodded. It sounded good to him. "Okay. Let me call the bar to shuffle my schedule around and then get into my workin' gear."

Which meant he would get into his tight bartender clothing, since Angel did want to watch him.

[crawler_kid]

"Them those tight pants Ah like on you so much?" Angel asked. "Yes, please."

[sonoflongshot]

"Uh huh. Exactly." He waggled his eyebrows at her before going to grab his cellphone off the kitchen counter.

A quick call, and the Mojoworlder found out he called them just before they were going to call him. His boss wanted him to trade days with another bartender due to a wedding. Aiden happily took the trade.

[crawler_kid]

Darn lucky that boy.

"Everything work out with your job?" she asked.

[sonoflongshot]

"Yep!" He walked by Angel to give her yet another kiss on the cheek.

"Traded to have the night off. Your chef is home for the night. Now, I need to put on some pants..."

[crawler_kid]

Angel's tongue moved her over lips. "I do like a boy in tight pants. 'course, I like him out of them too."

[sonoflongshot]

Aiden paused and then turned around. "Angel. No getting me in trouble. I don't want to have to sit through a 'you wear pants in the kitchen' lecture again."

Once was enough. Even though it was tempting to go sans pants to make her feel better.

[crawler_kid]

Angel giggled a little. "Aw, okay, Sugah. Ah can get you in trouble later, Ah reckon."

[sonoflongshot]

Aiden wagged his finger at her, but his hearts weren't really in it. If she were distracted from the bad news, he decided that was good enough. Though he did get a little squinty-eyed at her.

"You're very good at getting me in trouble. I will have to be on my guard."

[crawler_kid]

"Have to be a pretty good guard. Ah am real good at it and all."

[sonoflongshot]

"Cedric!" Aiden marched back toward Angel and the dog she was holding. He looked down at the slightly confused looking Scottie.

"You will have to by my guard. I'm not good at it, and Angel is insidious. What with her sexy tail and everything."

[crawler_kid]

Cedric titled his head to the side. "Ruff?"

"Ah'm sure Cedric will be a good guard," Angel said.

[sonoflongshot]

He skritched behind Cedric's ears.

"He better." Which sounded as menacing as a bowl of strawberry fluff.

"Wait. Where was I going?" He was supposed to do something after getting tight pants on. His train had stopped mid-track thinking about what Angel could do with that sexy tail and all.

[crawler_kid]

"Somethin' about pants," Angel said. "And then somethin' about cookin' or cuddlin'?"

[sonoflongshot]

He snapped his fingers. "Right! Tight pants and fried chicken. It's terribly Southern, I hear."

He grinned cheekily and turned on his heel to go get chef tight pantsed up.

[crawler_kid]

Angel gave Cedric a little squeeze. "Mmm-mmm-mmm. Hate to see him go, but love to watch him leave."

[sonoflongshot]

It didn't take Aiden long to get dressed. He changed out of what he was wearing into a tank top and his best pair of tight, leather pants. He forewent shoes and padded back out toward the kitchen.

"Tah dah!"

[crawler_kid]

Angel let out an appreciative whistle. "Lookin' good, Sugah."

[sonoflongshot]

He grinned. "Just hope the look isn't ruined by an apron."

He could and occasionally did get messy in the kitchen. Though he cleaned it up well after.

[crawler_kid]

"Naw," Angel said. "The view from behind's still nice."

[sonoflongshot]

"Good." He clapped his hands together and then rubbed his palms. He headed over to the fridge. And when he bent over, he made sure Angel had quite the view.

[crawler_kid]

Angel stifled a giggle. Aiden did such a good job taking care of her sometimes. And sometimes, she really needed it.

They'd get through this. Somehow.
