Interesting Morning Part 1

Noticing the front door was unlocked, so I quickly check on Coreen to see her still passed out. I make my way outside to see Rogue sitting on the swing. I sit and wrap the blanket around then I put his head on my chest.

"I'm sorry about that.", he says.

"It's cool. I'm just happy I could help.", I tell him.

Silence quickly takes over before I feel tears on my chest. I petted him, letting him know it's okay to cry. He slowly falls to sleep and I keep on petting until I fall asleep as well.

I wake up to see it's morning and I'm still outside. I try to get up, but something heavy stops me. Looking down, I see Rogue's head still on my chest, sleeping. Kissing the crown of his head before closing my eyes again. It didn't last because I hear a flash go off; opening one eye to see my mom, Coreen, Rex, and Angela. I try moving out of his Rogue's hold but he ends up holding me tighter and mumble, "Stop moving, amore. (love)."

I quickly stop moving; looking up at everyone to see if they have any idea how I can get out of his arms. I feel a shiver running up my spine, so I look over at Rex and Angela to see smirks; I already know this may have me pinned or something. They squat next to me and Rex whispers, "You should say something sexual but in French."

"How the hell am I supposed to do that?", I whisper-yell at him.

Angela just watches Rex think of how I would even possibly do what he's sectioning. We both turn to each other and I stick out my tongue then she does it, which makes us both laugh. We stop laughing and I notice she has done a lot more than before. I really hope she's okay. I was about to open my mouth but Rex talked, "What about you say; daddy, love, please wake up, I'm horny."

Both Angela and I look at him like he's fucking insane; swiftly shaking our heads no.

"Why don't you kiss him.", Angie says.

That's not a bad idea, but I think there's a better way to get him up. With a smirk on my face is whisper, "Morning, love. Would you mind getting up because I'm only in a big shirt with underwear on."

He lets out a growl before getting off me. Quickly sitting up, I wrap the blanket around me while running to my room with Angie on my tail. We make it in and I throw off the blanket then take off my shirt.

"Girl, no wonder why that boy let out a growl.", she says while whistling.

Laughing and heading to my closet, I make small talk.

"Anything new?"

"Not really.", she says a little too quickly.

"Ang, what's wrong? And don't say it's nothing because that's a lie. So please tell me. You know damn well if we involve Rex...."

"I know. Okay; just... it's hard. Rex and you are confident in yourselves.", she says.

I finish up with a flannel. Then make my way to her; I hold her in my arms. "Is this about the guy you like?", I ask.

"Yeah. I thought he liked me back...."

"Wait. What do you mean? I thought he likes you?!", I ask while holding her arm's length.

"So did I, but he was only saying that to make Selene jealous.", she says with her voice cracking at the end.

"Selene, is the girl you work with right?", I ask, making sure we're on the same page.

I feel her nod her head; I squeeze tighter, then kiss her head. Picking up my phone and putting on Joke's on you by Charlotte Lawrence. She dances around my room while I putting my hair up in a messy bun. I soon join her; we continue to dance until we heard a scream.

"I wanna join!"

We all laugh at the girl before Ang and I grab each of her hands and spin her around and whatnot. We continue to dance until it's over; once we catch our breaths, we turn to see three boys watching us. We both blush; Ang grabs my hand and drags me to the kitchen. Tripping over my feet, I quickly grab onto the counter so I don't fall face first. She lets out a giggle while saying, "I'm staring, Tally; make me some food, please."

I laugh at her but I don't mind since I love cooking; I take out the ingredients needed to make breakfast. So I'm thinking pancakes before the mixture goes bad... As I heat the stove, music softly plays in the background. Moving around the kitchen, I got a feeling I was being watched but didn't go onto the feeling since it could be Rex or Angie. I finished up the pancakes and now it's onto the eggs. It was quite beside the music playing.

"Tala, tu sais où je mets mes vêtements de travail?(Tala, do you know where I put my work clothes?)", I hear my mom ask.

"Ouais, ils sont dans la sécheuse. Je les ai lavés hier. Avez-vous vérifié le courrier?(Yeah, they're in the dryer. I washed them yesterday. Have you checked the mail?)", I answer back then asks.

I continue to finish up breakfast when my mom answers, "Il n'y avait pas de courrier, mais vous attendiez-vous à quelque chose?(There was no mail, but were you expecting something?)"

"Non.(No.)", I answer back before yelling, "Breakfast is ready!"

Six pairs of feet come running into the kitchen; smiling to myself, I put seven plates, cups, and utilities around the table.

"Wow, you did all this?", Rogue asks with drool coming from the side of his mouth.

Giggling before replying, "Yeah, I sometimes go overboard when guests are over."

"So what did you cook today?", my mom asks.

"We have bacon, eggs, and pancakes. There are three flavors of pancakes, the first one is chocolate, regular, and blueberry. There is coffee and orange juice to drink along with fruits. The fruits are strawberries, bananas, raspberries, and black raspberries.", I finish up saying. Everyone's mouth is open, except my mom's and Rex's.

"You did all this under an hour?", Rogue asks, shocked.

"Yeah, it's nothing special. Just some breakfast", I say while my face becomes hot.

Everyone says thanks before digging into the food. I'm thrilled that everyone likes the food; all you can hear forks scraping the plates. It was a couple of minutes before my mom started small talk.

"Tala, do you remember the place, I got you for your eighteenth birthday?"

"Yeah. Is off Freeman South and Clifford Point?"

"Yes. Did you pay for electricity?"

"Yeah. I also put food and anything else I needed in the kitchen already. The only I need to do is move my things from my room to the new place.", I answer while picking up my plate.

Everyone helps clean the mess; my mom kisses my head then takes Coreen with her. Rex and Ang already left the kitchen, which just leaves Rogue and me. I look down at my hands to see my plate wasn't there anymore; I kinda feel bad that he's doing the dishes, so I grab a towel and start drying the ones he already washed.

"Um... you don't have to answer this question if it's too personal, but I was wondering what you were talking about yesterday on the phone?", I say, then ask.

"You're fine. My father told me that Coreen couldn't live with me because he has a 'wife' for me. Frankly, I don't agree with my father and Coreen doesn't have anywhere to go. Her mother died giving birth to her.", Rogue explains to me.

"What if she lives with me?", I ask without thinking.

It becomes quiet in the kitchen, well besides the water running. I just continue to dry the dishes, not realizing the weight of what I said. I finished the last of the dishes when Rogue responded.

"Are you sure? I don't want to bother you; besides, I'm not the safest person to be around. I can ruin your life without even trying.", he says while mumbling the rest.

"She's adorable, plus she would have her own room. A bonus plus is I wouldn't be alone in my new place so it's a win-win.", I say with a smile.
