''Rise and shine, beautiful.''

James walked in our bedroom, fully dressed and vicious. I grabbed his pillow and swiftly threw it at him but he easily caught it, raising his eyebrow at me. He gave me his: you're so childish look but I ignored it and pretended to play with a lock of my hair, like he wasn't here.

''I woke three hours ago, I'm just not in a mood to get up.''

The groan which slipped of his lips made me look up at him. I supported my head by putting my arm on the pillow behind it. Today I was very grumpy but also happy that Alice will come, she sent me a message while James was showering. I glimpsed at clock, it was half past twelve, she will arrive for about two hours. I got up and took a shower before James could stop me by talking. He just send me a confusing look while digging through his dresser when I came out.

''What are you staring at?''

''At you of course, who else?''

I shrugged, reminding myself he's bad actor.

''Maybe you imagine your girlfriend here, on my place...''

My sentence left unfinished as I walked out the bedroom to prepare something for breakfast. Or lunch. What was downstairs surprised me, everything was in it's place, delightful lunch was already served. I asked myself mentally if James done that himself but it was a rhetoric question, I'm sure he wasn't able to do that, he probably ordered the food from a restaurant.

''You like it?''

''Yeah, only because I don't have to cook.''

''You will cook, don't worry...you'll cook when you become my wife.''

''Never.'' I mumbled to myself but he obviously heard it and started to smirk, amused by my outburst. Only an hour left so I pushed him to sit and start eating before Alice come, it would be a very awkward situation for all of us. Within five minutes, he ate more than half food on the table but still glimpsed at my plate, wondering if I don't like something so that he can grab it. All men, including my brothers could eat so much, they always surprised me even when I didn't expect it at all.

''Um...are you going to eat that?''

He almost stabbed meat by his fork and then asked me but he probably remembered our relationship wasn't so great. I looked at him and nodded, within a second, meat was in his mouth. My vine was left untouched although I was eager to taste it.

I didn't like it because of it's scent and color, it was disgusting. We finally finished eating in silence so I washed the dishes and quickly brushed off the dust that covered TV in the living room. I had to make an impression to Alice, she's a guest plus James girlfriend. I saw her walking to the entrance and hurried to open the door.

''Hi, are you Alice?''

''Yes, nice to meet you. Where is that bastard?''

She looked ready to pounce on James so I hardly waited for him to come down. I called him, he thought I needed something so he rushed down the stairs so fast that he almost stumbled and fell over. Finally I found someone who is clumsy like me.

''James dear, come here, I missed you so much!''

James fixed his glare on me, confused at this situation. He gave a tiny nod to Alice who hugged him and wrapped her arms around his neck. There was no movement he produced, I guess he was too frozen, poor him, I surprised him well. Serves him right!
