Mac n Cheese

Alexa climbed onto the stool next to the counter, blushing as she wasn’t quite tall enough to get on it. Michelle giggled a bit and fetched a high chair instead as she helped Alexa sit in it and locked it into place.

Alexa’s face was bright red. “M-michelle.”

“It’s okay, Lexi. Don’t worry. It’s just us. Just relax,” Michelle said as she poured pasta into boiling water and dumped a package of cheese powder in, stirring the pot as she did.

“What are you making?” Alexa asked.

Michelle grinned. “Scooby Doo Mac n Cheese,” she said.

“Scooby Doo?” Alexa asked raising an eyebrow as Michelle poured some into a hard plastic pink bowl and gave Alexa a small hard pink plastic spoon. “M-michelle...”

“Just go with it,” Michelle winked as she poured some mac n cheese into a blue ceramic bowl.

Alexa sighed as she used the spoon and carefully ate the mac n cheese that was still a bit hot. Michelle placed a sippy cup filled with milk in front of Alexa as she poured her own milk into a glass. Alexa sighed as she drank from the sippy cup as Michelle grinned. “I’m sorry,” Alexa whispered.

“Sorry for what?” Michelle said.

“For ruining the date,” Alexa frowned. “I... I’m sorry,”

“Lexi, you haven’t ruined anything. I’m really enjoying this. This is so much better than what I had planned,” Michelle said. “And cheaper too. Let’s just say screw it and do what we want. Who says we have to go to some fancy restaurant and spend hundreds of dollars when we have everything we need right here. So don’t worry about it. Please, Lexi. Just relax and don’t stress. This is going perfectly.”

“It is?” Alexa whimpered, lip quivering.

“It is,” Michelle said as she ate her food. “Look I can feed you just like I would have at dinner.”

Michelle teased as she picked up the spoon of pasta and put it in Alexa’s mouth. Alexa blushed as Michelle followed with another spoon. And then another. And another. Alexa allowed Michelle to feed her despite feeling embarrassed and childish. As Alexa sipped on her milk, she squirmed in her seat, her bladder filling up. “M-michelle. I need.... potty.”

Alexa’s ears turned red at the word she used and Michelle smiled. “It’s okay, Lexi. You can just relax. You’re wearing your potty.”

Michelle kissed Alexa on her forehead. “Just relax,” she whispered.
