Possible Roles

When Noah and Mary woke up the next morning, they smelt something incredible. They glanced at each other and slowly made their way to the kitchen.

Once they walked in, they were shocked by the full spread on the table.

"Oh, hi guys. I hope you're hungry." The husband and wife duo looked at each other in confusion before looking back at their guest.

"Um, you don't have to do all this for us." Emily rolled her eyes at them.

"I have to do something. You guys are letting me stay here rent free. The least I can do is cook for you to earn my keep. Besides, I love cooking. Come on, eat up."

Not seeing a point in fighting, the couple sat down at the table for breakfast.

"Thanks again for letting me stay here. Like I said, I'll do whatever I can to earn my keep. And I'll look for a job." Mary was next to speak.

"Emily, just let yourself relax for now. You're safe here, and you can make yourself at home. Just breathe." Emily couldn't help but smile.

"Thanks Mary. I really appreciate it."

After breakfast, Emily took the dishes to the kitchen, happily humming to herself. Noah walked Mary out to her car.

"Honey, I know we haven't been thinking about it, but the roles are probably going to start playing a factor into things," said Mary. Noah sighed and slumped his shoulders.

"I know. If I were to make a random guess, I'd say Emily is either a childhood friend or housewife, while Mya is supposed to be my daughter or student." Mary couldn't help but groan.

"Maybe Tina will be turned into my sectary. Speaking of her, I have to get to work." Before Mary could get into her car, Noah pushed her against it and kissed her. Mary melted into the kiss before he pulled away much too soon.

"I love you." He turned around and went back inside, leaving his wife a flustered mess.

"Damnit, how can he still do that to me?"
