After a few minutes Kylie woke up from bed with wriggling nose, the aroma of the cooking downstairs was just too good, she didn't even bother to take a shower, she brushed then hurried down.
As she got closer to the kitchen the aroma got even stronger she couldn't help it anymore she needed to get herself whatever was cooking. She finally gets to the kitchen and was shocked to discover that it was Mark preparing the delicious breakfast.
"Mocha!" she exclaimed when she spotted the sight of her favorite drink sitting on the counter. Mark was startled yet pleased to see Kylie pleasantly sipping on the mocha he had prepared for her earlier.
"So how is it? is it good?" he had to ask
"Hmm, maybe a seven out of ten" she replied
"Seven out of ten seriously it's that bad?"
"No, I just feel it needs something, perhaps a zest of orange to give it a little bit tangy flavor" she commented
"Hmm ok I'll keep that in mind" he didn't bother to refute as she of course was the mocha expert. He diverted his attention to the waffles in the waffle iron.
"Mark"
"Yeah"
"Where are the little tiny marshmellows?"as soon as she finished her sentence Mark couldn't help but chuckle.
"You still have marshmellows with your drink" he asked as his chuckle soonturned into laughter "So cute" he whispered inwardly.
"So? People have their preferences"
"Okay fine. There are over at the top case cabinet, let me help you to retrieve them" he went to the cabinet and helped Kylie to get a bag of little tiny marshmellows. Now she was happy with the drink she pleasantly munched on some chocolate waffles glazed with maple syrup, garnished with healthy berries and fruits.
Once Mark was done with the waffles he turned his gaze to Kylie only to discover most of the food was gone, his hardwork gone just like that? The thought that went through his mind was is this Kylie Westwood a human or a compressor, there was barely any food left!
'Guess I'm having MC Donald's today' Mark thought.
"The breakfast was okay but I wouldn't say great" Mark eyes widened in amazement
'OK?' seriously there was nothing left and she says it's okay.
"Well I have to go take a shower, so bye" she happily went to take a bath after having such an amazing meal.
Though Mark had little to eat for the morning he was happy as long as she was happy

"Good morning", Kylie had just pulled up at her house...err I mean mansion, she greeted everyone who were already seated with a huge smile across her face but instantly felt the tension in the air. The atmosphere was filled with mixed emotions as everyone silently ate breakfast.
After what happened last night no one knew what topic to discuss first whether they should talk about Kara's upcoming wedding or Alexis and Shawn's secret relationship or Kylie wanting to take the doctor's advice or the fact that Kylie was nowhere to be found last night.
As Kylie was about to head towards the elevator, Kara asked "Aren't you having breakfast?"
"I've already had breakfast so...."
"isn't that Mark's shirt?" Alexis cuts in noticing the big shirt she was wearing.
"I didn't have anything to wear so I wore something of Marks' "Kylie replied casually.
"May I ask where you spent the night young lady?" Sherry intervened
"well Mom I spent the night at Mark's place"Kylie responded.
"I think you're getting too friendly with your manager, may I remind you are not a little girl anymore you just turned eighteen for goodness sake"Sherry reprimanded as she was clearly not in a good mood considering the circumstances due to last night incidents.
"But mom it's Mark we are talking about he is my childhood friend and you know he can't do anything to hurt me" Kylie explained
"But...." before Sherry could get a word in Andrew interupted by saying
"Let it go Sherry it's not the first time she has spent the night at Mark's so please let it go"
