Bridgette Beaumont skipped up the steps to her boyfriend Edwards apartment, two coffee’s in her hand and a smile on her face.
She took her key out of her pocket and unlocked the red door.
‘Edward?’ she called, stepping inside the living room. ‘I brought coffee!’
‘Hey, Gigi.’ Edward said with a sniff, getting up off of the couch and coming over to give her a peck on the cheek.
‘Bonjour, mon coeur.’ She said with a sweet smile, handing him his coffee.
Edward took a large sip, and sighed heavily.
‘What’s wrong?’ Bridgette asked, placing her coffee down on the table.
‘Nothing, nothing. I’m just not feeling too well.’
Bridgette bit her lip as he sneezed and put her hand worriedly on his forehead.
‘Bridgette. Stop worrying, it’s just one of those winter colds.’
‘It could be flu.’ She replied softly, as he coughed and spluttered.
She snatched his coffee out of his hand and placed it next to hers. She grabbed his arms and pulled him over to the couch, she pushed him down onto it, and lifted his legs up so he was lying down.
She went into his bedroom, but quickly came back out. ‘Stay.’ She said sharply, and then went back into the bedroom.
She opened the cupboard, and took out three warm blankets, and also picked up his pillows from the bed.
Sauntering back into the living room, she dumped them all on top of him, before going back into his bedroom and retrieving a warm jumper; which just so happened to be the Christmas one she had gotten him the year before.
She giggled, remembering his distaste when she had forced him to wear it all over the holidays.
When she returned, and held up the jumper, Edward grumbled and snatched it from her.
‘Now you look even more handsome.’ She said, kissing his nose, as he lay back down on the sofa.
Bridgette unfolded all of the blankets and wrapped him up in them, and she handed him the television remote.
‘Hungry?’
Edward nodded. ‘Can we order a take out?’
‘Definitely not, mon Coeur!’ She said with a shake of her head. ‘I will make you soup! It will make you better.’
‘Soup?’
‘Soup.’
Edward rolled his eyes as Bridgette went into the kitchen and flung all his cupboards open. She saw a couple of tins of ‘French Onion Soup’.
She shrugged and figured that if he had it then he must like it. She emptied it into a saucepan and began to heat it up.
Also, Bridgette found, were the ingredients that were needed to make chocolate brownies. Knowing the recipe off by heart, she began to mix the ingredients together in the mixer as the soup heated. She quickly swapped soup, and heated the other and poured the first into a bowl.
‘Are you making the soup?’ Edward called croakily from the living room, evidently hearing the sound of the mixer.
‘Something like that...’ Bridgette sang, and then proceeded to hum a song to which the words she couldn’t quite recall.
Once the brownie mix was made, she put them in the oven, and brought out hers and Edwards soup.
She put her soup down on the table and filled Edward’s spoon with it. She then told him to open his mouth, and moved the spoon forward.
‘Bridgette-‘ He began, but as he opened his mouth she shoved the spoon inside.
‘This is stupid. I can feed myself!’ He grumbled, taking the bowl from her. She laughed, and picked up her own and went to sit in the arm chair.
They sat and talked for a while, while they ate their soup. Albeit, Bridgette doing most of the talking due to Edward’s sore throat, and she sang songs for him after she had finished.
Taking their bowls out into the kitchen, Edward called to her. ‘I know you didn’t make that soup, Gigi.’ She could hear the smirk in his voice.
She laughed. ‘I know.’ She took the brownies out of the oven and using the oven gloves put them on a plate to cool. ‘But I did make these.’ She said bringing them out.
Edward sat up, and tried to take one.
‘What are you doing? They’re far too hot.’ She scolded, placing them on the table next to their cold coffees.
