Chapter Eleven

Ranger awoke before everyone else and went to the kitchen to start breakfast. They’d already learned Mac couldn’t cook for shit, and Jonathan could only cook meat and fish. He did a damned good job with it, but Ranger had turned into their main cook.

Bethany didn’t have to work today, and Ranger planned to woo her with adventures and keep her mind off the fact the four of them were growing close.

Her mom had chosen men badly, and so had Bethany while she was young. She hadn’t let anyone get close to her in years, the best Ranger could tell. She’d decided she was better on her own than with a man, and they were going to have to convince her she could trust them.

Ranger chopped and cut onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, and spinach. He grated a few kinds of cheese together, and then started frying up three pounds of bacon. She had a French press and an electric kettle, along with a dozen kinds of coffee. He put water in the kettle, but would wait until people started waking before heating it.

Mac stumbled in first, picked vanilla coffee as it seemed the least flavored, and made himself a cup as Ranger made his omelet.

Bethany came in next, chose a gourmet coffee with caramel and chocolate, made it really strong without about half as much water as she should, but then poured as much milk into her cup as she did coffee. Ranger made a note of her preferences, and of which coffee flavors were in the front. The next time she spent the night with them there’d be a coffee press and whole milk, along with coffee she liked.

He had her choose what she wanted in her omelet, and talked to her as he cooked. She seemed more laidback today, but Ranger knew they still had a ways to go before she let them in.

Jonathan joined them a few minutes later and helped with the bacon while Ranger made Mac another omelet, and then several for himself and Jonathan.

“I’m going to conserve water and take Raggedy to the shower with me,” Jonathan said as they finished eating.

Ranger chuckled at her surprised face as Jonathan picked her up and walked through the house with her.

Bethany’s house was nearly as big as Jonathan’s, and was closer to her work. He’d need to talk to the guys about how to see her as much as possible during the week without making her feel as if they were invading her space.
