Chapter 9

I woke up as an alarm ticked off in my head, I looked at the clock and sat up straight.

"Work"

I hurriedly did my morning routine, put on my baggy jeans and my crimson red sweater.

I raced down the stairs and spied Kelvin in the kitchen.

I approached cautiously.

"What are you doing?"

He turned startled, not expecting me to be up that early.

"Well?" I asked again as he gaped at me.

"I'm...cooking?"

We stared at each other before I burst out laughing.

"Did you say, you're cooking? I might have heard wrongly" I clutched the table top as I doubled over.

Kelvin turned red from embarrassment.

"What are you making?" I approached him.

"Bacon and eggs"

The bacon looked burnt and the eggs looked half done.

He passed me the plate.

"Terrible right?" He spoke still red from embarrassment.

I took a fork and ate the egg.

"What are you doing?" He moved the plate away.
