Picket Fences! Part 29
A few streets over at Claudia's house . . .
Her cousin Shannan called next-door neighbor Jonathan Henry and invited him over for breakfast. He said that sounded great, as long as she let him do the cooking.
Shannan greeted Jonathan with a friendly hug.
"My specialty is pancakes. How does that sound?", he asked.
"I love pancakes!", she said.
Jonathan went into the kitchen and started preparing the pancakes.

"These are delicious Jonathan. Where did you learn to cook so well?", she asked.
"I've been on my own for a long time. I taught myself how to cook out of necessory", he said.
"If you don't mind me asking, did your parents die when you were very young?", asked Shannan.
"No, they didn't die. They wanted to go to a party one night when I was a toddler and they left me alone. I was asleep, so I guess they figured it was alright, but I woke up and started crying. The Social Worker came and took me to the orphanage", he explained.
After they finished eating, they sat together on the couch.
"What do you do for a living Jonathan?", asked Shannan.
"I'm a Professional Party Guest", he said, "Does that bother you?"
"No, I'm actually impressed. I've heard it pays quite well", she said.
"What kind of work do you do?", he asked.
"I work in the film industry as a Film Representative. I'm just getting started, so it sounds better than it pays", she said.
"Well, I'm sure with your looks, you'll go far", he said.
"You flatterer you", she said nuzzeling his neck.
Jonathan gave her a romantic kiss . . .
Which led to more passionate kissing on both their parts.
"I think we better stop before I end up in the same boat as my cousin", said Shannan.
"I guess I better be going on home. I need to get some sleep before I go to work tonight", he said.
"Shannan, I'd like to take you out on a real date sometimes", he said.
"That would be great. I'd love to go out with you", she said.
"Alright, I'll call you tomorrow", said Jonathan.
Then Jonathan left to go home.
