Lies on Top of Lies

I sat on the kitchen counter with my legs dangling off of its edge. Bradon sat silently next to me as if that was where he belonged. Sitting close to each other without our bodies touching after all that we had just done surely felt strange.

“The food is all cold…” I mumbled as I eyed the food that was still laid out on the counter.

I stared at the food while thinking that it was such a waste. Even if I was certain that the taste wasn’t palatable, I still thought that it was a certain waste of ingredients. I fully intended to apologize to Jenna for wasting the ingredients and then make sure that I tidied and threw everything away myself without troubling her or the other maids even further.

“What are you doing?” I asked blankly as I stared at Bradon.
