Just me and him

I woke up startled as usual, he was laying with me. What is up with this man and sleeping in the Same bed as me? I didn't know why he was there but I wanted to lay longer and watch him. The lady creature killed a total of 25 people today in my dreams but its weird that she only kills people near me. If I went to another place would she kill people there ? I actually wanted to leave, I never have before and my birthday was coming up soon.

I felt bad and wanted to make breakfast today as I got out of the bed I realised that I was sleeping in my panties, I was flustered. What if he seen me like this? The idea made me uncomfortable and upset. Why was he in my bed well... his bed technically but still he offered it to me.

I looked in the mirror in the bathroom and forgot I'm still wearing his oversized sweatshirt that I decided I'm keeping. He won't ever even notice it's gone. I wanted to lie to him, tell him that I've had no dreams. To just stop investigating, all the rushing and panicking, just for one day. I wanted to chill and maybe just watch a movie or something. I knew he'd never agree because that's selfish and he wants to know what happened to Jane and that got me down. I started to fall for him hard and I wanted him to think of me and call me the love of his life not her.

I got in the kitchen and googled a recipe for pancakes, yes so what I don't know how to cook. What's the point of knowing how when you can google anything and everything you need to know. I added in the ingredients and started mixing when he walked in...with no pants. Okay now I'm red as a tomato and I didn't have pants on either. Reminder to wear pants to bed.

"Good morning Mia." He said with a smile.

"Where are your pants?"

"Oh I don't remember." And shrugged his shoulders, like it was nothing. I suppose his so used to not having to wear it, it didn't phase him to put some on.

"Why were you sleeping with me?"

"Couch was uncomfortable I guess."

Couch was uncomfortable?! What the hell.

"You can't just do that you know. There's something called privacy and I appreciate mines highly, you can't just sleep with someone without asking."

"But you looked so peaceful, I didn't wanna wake you... I just slept on the side, I don't see what's the big deal. Besides if you valued your privacy so much you would've worn some pants by now." He chuckled and it pissed me off but I held it in. I took a breath in and out and stared  him in his piercing yellow-brown eyes.

"You just have a answer for everything don't you?"

"And you just can't have a laugh about anything can you?"

I rolled my eyes and he went to the bathroom.I finished making my pancake dough and made a few pancakes for me, I hid the batter in the fridge so he could make his own breakfast, I wasn't in the mood for his nauseating personality. I poured some golden syrup on it, he came out of the bathroom and I began making a cup of coffee, he sniffed the smell of pancakes in the kitchen.

"Hmm you made me some pancakes, you so sweet."

"They not for you, they're mines." But as I turned around he was already stuffing his mouth full.

"Hey, those are mine!"

"Just make more how."

"No, its...finished."

"Come here."

I don't know why or how but the way he said that made me want to, it's like he had some sort of magnetic pull with his words. I did as told and he looked at me with his eyes they were soft as if all the anger was removed. He cut some of the one pancake and fed me a few bites. It made my stomach churn and I wanted to do some weird high pitched girl scream, the way he was acting. After several bites he yanked the plate of  pancakes back.

"What did you do that for?"

"I'm hungry too, plus you hid the pancake mix in the fridge just make us some more." I was embarrassed that he knew and I just did as he asked.

"I'll even feed you...so you don't eat all of it."

I went pink in the face and my mind and heart felt separated as if my heart had a mind of it's own and my brain had been thrown away. I loved how sweet he was, I hated how he couldn't just admit it, he always had to justify everything he did. It turned my mood off but I'd prefer this over him being cold and heartless. I fried the pancakes and gave it to him fresh. He stood up with his plate and I asked him what's wrong. He gave me a sweet heartfelt look.

"Well if you going to stand by the stove like this I'll have to feed you here, you know because of my reputation I have to keep up to a certain standard...I can't leave you starving."

So now we were in this position that I wanted to stay in forever, we both stood huddled up by the stove eating pancakes and I felt loved as if the world wasn't a bad place. All my worries disappeared. I just wanted a normal life. I wanted to feel what it's like to be loved and accepted and now I was.

"So where we headed today?"

"I actually wanted to talk to you about that."

"What's wrong?"

"Now you see I umm feel we should take a day off. Everything has just been so much, don't you think we deserve it ?"

"Yes, I totally agree some time to relax is well needed."

I was so relieved that he gave in to the idea.

"I'm going to watch a movie on Netflix care to join ?"

"Yes, I'd love too. I just want to make some popcorn, you can't have a movie without snacks, it's the number one rule on movie watching !" 

"Since when?"

"Since I elected you king of eggs."

"Hmm that sounds fair enough."

We laughed. I made the popcorn and drinks, he picked a movie. We sat there together but not near each other really until he put a horror on and for every zombie popping on screen I would jump on top of him and he'd laugh at me . Eventually we were just cuddled up without realising it , as the movie finished I looked back at him and he was sound asleep. He was lying half on top of me and it was hard to move without waking him, so I sat there and looked for some cheesy romcom to satisfy my love of romance. I grew sleepy and my eyes closed slowly.

I woke up and he was gone. He left a note saying he went to get takeout for real this time  with a smiley face and it made me giggle. I got bored and went to take a shower, once I came out of the bathroom there was Chinese food on the kitchen nook and he was sitting on the couch telling me I have to come watch friends with him. I wasn't a fan of that series but he looked so excited to have someone to watch it with him I gave in. I loved relaxing with him and it made me feel happy , I've never felt this way in a long time. It was like my heart felt whole again. The heart I never knew I had.
