Ember opens her eyes sleepily. She looks up at Jim who's body is still wrapped around her and smiles.
Jim smiles down at her and kisses her forehead.
"How long have you been awake?" Ember asks as she rolls onto her back and stretches her limbs.
Jim chuckles.
"Thirty minutes or something," Jim shrugs.
Ember nods and sits up.
She rubs her eyes and yawns.
Jim sits up as well and wraps his arms around her.
"What do you want to do today?" Jim breathes against her neck.
Ember shrugs.
"Swimming maybe," she suggests.
Jim nods his head.
"We can do that," Jim says.
Ember smiles.
"Cool," Ember chuckles.
Ember hops out of bed and Jim follows her out into his main room.
"Here let me grab your clothes," Jim says.
Ember nods and sits on the couch as Jim walks off into his Landry room.
Jim grabs her clothes from the dryer and brings them out to her.
"Thank you," she says when she grabs them.
Jim nods and walks into the kitchen to cook up some breakfast.
Ember stretches her arms as she walks into Jim's bathroom.
She pulls Jim's large shirt over her head and folds it neatly. She sets it down on the counter.
Ember grabs her pants and shirt from yesterday and puts them on.
She stares at her sleepy face in the mirror and frowns.
So ugly.
She sighs as she walks out of Jim's bathroom shutting off the light as she leaves.
She walks back out into Jim's main room and finds him in an apron, stirring something in a bowel.
Ember smiles at how cute Jim looks with an apron on.
"Can I help?" Ember asks as she stares up at Jim.
Jim smiles.
"Sure. I'm making pancakes. Can you grab out a griddle?" Jim asks.
Ember nods.
"It should be under there," Jim tells Ember as he points to one of the cabinet doors towards the bottom.
Ember crouches down and opens the door.
She peers inside and spots the griddle.
She grabs it out and then places it on the counter.
She plugs it into the outlet and turns it on so that it can preheat.
"Can I make a sauce?" Ember asks.
Jim nods.
Ember walks over to Jim's fridge and looks through it.
She grabs out some strawberries.
She then opens Jim's cupboard and grabs out some white sugar.
Ember grabs out a pot and places the strawberries in it. She turns on the facet and fills the pot with a bit of water.
