In the morning I woke up to the heavenly smell of breakfast foods. There was a mix of bacon and either waffles or pancakes, maybe eggs as well.
I quickly got up, keeping the blanket wrapped around me, and tiredly shuffled over to the kitchen to see what was up.
“Yum.” I said quietly, as I watched Cade cooking.
He turned and smiled at me, “I thought I should repay you. Do you still like big extravagant breakfasts?”
I smiled a little, “I do.”
I remembered when I was little one day I was particularly happy because my mom had made me a huge breakfast and all day long I was talking about it. It was so simple, but I was so happy. I remember him just laughing at me and saying that someday he’ll cook me a big wonderful breakfast.
The memory made me feel fuzzy inside.
He finished up the breakfast and we both sat at the table and began eating. “Mmm, the bacon is really good.” Having the familiar tastes and smells enter my senses was a huge relief. It all made me so happy. I was having breakfast with Cade. It was almost surreal.
I looked up at him as he ate and he would look up at me every once in a while and give me a little smile. Through the entire breakfast I knew my face was bright red, which in turn embarrassed me even more.
“Are you nervous?” Cade randomly asked me.
I didn’t make eye contact with him and munched on my bacon, “Maybe a little.”
He chuckled, “Why?”
“I don’t know….this whole situation is so odd to me. I’m having breakfast with you. And…you kissed me last night.” I mumbled quickly.
He grinned, “What’s the problem with me kissing you?”
“It’s out of character.”
“Explain.”
“Well, for so long you’ve been throwing me back and forth and I couldn’t tell if you hated me or even just kind of liked me, but then you suddenly kissing me like that was just a curveball. I just can’t figure out what’s going on up there in that nutty head.”
He chuckled, “It’s pretty basic. I gave up. I tried, but in that last stretch I realized it was more work and pain being away from you then just accepting that I really do want you.” He shrugged and took a bite of his waffle.
I just stared at him. “So just like that, you want to…” I trailed off.
“Be with you? Yes.”
“No.” I said crossing my arms.
