Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Last night was probably one of the most enjoyable nights of my life. It was like a dream. At the moment, I'm just laying here, on my bed, probably grinning like an idiot. But who cares. I am happy on this fine morning. I'm not normally a morning person. I look towards my clock which read 4 am in the morning. Wow, geez I'm awake early. I decide that since its Sunday today, I should sleep in a bit more. I'm glad I don't go to work on Monday's I snuggled up under the covers a bit more before slowly moving off to dream land.

<><><><>

You know how most days when you get up, the annoying sun blinds you? Or maybe your alarm clock was ringing or beeping right into your ear? Don't they just annoy you? Yeah well they annoy me. Living alone, if you didn't count pets, meant that you wouldn't get any nice wake up calls. Like, I don't know, someone saying good morning to you in a loving way or something like that. But I think this is the best wakeup call yet.

I slowly open my eyes, surprised when the sun didn't blind me and even more when I heard whistling in my kitchen and the lovely smell of, was that bacon? And pancakes? At first I was extremely confused about that because being half asleep means your brain isn't working well. And of course, being dumb, my first thought was 'What the Hell! Did Wolf turn into a human over night?' And then of course after a few moments of thinking what Wolf would look like as a human, I face palmed myself.

"Oh god, I am so stupid. I forgot Lee is staying here for a while" I mumbled to myself. I looked at the time to see it was 11 am.

I turn over, forgetting I was on the edge of my bed already and drop to the floor.

"Ow" I groan. I couldn't be bothered to get up from the floor so I flipped onto my stomach and used my hands to pull myself across the floor. It was like I was swimming, just using my hands. I make it out of my bedroom and drag myself all the way to the kitchen. I wished though that my arms didn't get tired just as I reached the kitchen because my first greeting was from Wolf. He saw me on the floor and jumped on me, licking me in the face. Normally, I would be able to get up because my arms were available to push him off but as I am on my stomach, well...

"Wolf! Stop!" I laugh. I hear a chuckle from above me to see that Lee is staring down at me with an amused expression.

"Good morning!" he says brightly.

"Morning! I smell something good, what are you cooking?" I ask, after getting off the floor.

"Breakfast!" he stated as if it was obvious.

"I know that you dag, I meant what is making up the breakfast"

"Me!" he was obviously joking with me now.

I groaned and started heading to the kitchen. But I was probably half asleep still since I hit the wall. I looked up from my shock to see that it wasn't a wall, but actually a chest. Lee's chest.

"Ow!" I rubbed my forehead. "Why'd you walk in front of me you moron!"

"Breakfast is a surprise." He chuckled and left to go into the kitchen, but not before turning back to give me a wink. That made me blush. "Go and get changed!"

I trudge back to my bedroom, still rubbing my forehead and Wolf following. I changed into whatever I found which was a fall out Boy shirt and a pair of black leggings. I walked back to the dining room to find Lee serving breakfast. The smell of the food made my mouth water.

"Breakfast is ready!" Lee gestures to the food on the table.

"This is amazing Lee! Thanks so much, it looks and smells real good" I gush.

"Well food is for eating as well, not just for looks or smells." He pulls out the chair for me and I thank him.

There was a small plate that had mini choc chip pancakes with strawberries and cream on top. Then on the big plate lay fired eggs, bacon and buttered toast. As for the drink, it was chocolate milk that was so good!

"I don't remember having most of these items in my fridge" I muttered to myself, food stuffed in my mouth.

"I drove to Coles to buy a few things that you lacked" he said, hearing my words.

"Wait, how did you drive? And yes, I know I lack a lot of food. Only one person lives here!" I point my fork at him, bacon slightly hanging out of my mouth.

"I found your keys and even if you live alone, you should have more food! I have a lot of food in my house and I live alone" He exclaims.

"I'm sorry, but I don't normally cook" I state. "I normally buy premade stuff and heat them up, so it's much easier"

"Lazy much" he mumbles.

I roll my eyes and continue eating. We kept making jokes at each other and for a while and laughing the whole time.

<><><><><>

We both decided to spend the morning relaxing on the couch. I leaned on the armrest and he sat next to me, but he wasn't very close. Maybe a few inches apart? Eh, I don't know. I flicked through the channels, trying to find something good to watch. Lee was scrolling through his phone but every now and then, I would catch him glancing at me. Hmm, strange. I also now noticed that when he glanced at me he was moving closer each time. I ignored him for now and sighed, seeing no good TV shows.

I look at the movies available and see that they are old movies. Then all of a sudden, the doorbell rings. I turn to look at Lee with a frown on my face. He turns to me and wears the same expression. We stare for a while before realising that our faces are only inches apart. We both quickly stand up and awkwardly look everywhere else but each other. I feel my face burning and I hear Lee clear his throat.

"Well, um. I should get the door... Huh?" I ask, my face still burning with embarrassment.

"Yeah, um. Yeah" he cleared his throat again.

I walk towards the front door and open it up. A man appeared, around the age of 40 maybe? He wore jeans and a black blue bubble jacket. He had a slight beard growing and wore black sunnies, like those ones you see in movies that the security guards wear.

"Good Morning!" he greets happily with a smile.

"Morning" I greet back with a smile.

"Are you Kyla? Kyla Roberts?" he asks politely.

"Uh, yea. Yes I am" I look behind me to see Lee in back on the couch playing with Wolf.

"Ah, hi! Nice to meet you. I'm Lee's manager, Graham" he sticks his hand out and I shake it.

"Hi Graham, nice to meet you as well"

"Is Lee inside? His belongings are in the car" he gestures to his black Mercedes.

"Yeah he is. I'll get him" I quickly walk to the living room and Lee looks up.

"Who was it?" he nods towards the door.

"Your manager, he has your belongings in the car" I tell him.

"Oh cool. I'll go get them, you can stay here now" he smiles before leaving to talk to his manager and retrieving his belongings.

<><><><><>

I think it was a couple of hours later when Lee's manager left and we moved his things into his room. Now we were back on the couch, sitting in the same positions as this morning. Except this time, Lee is flicking through the channels and I was scrolling through my phone.

"I have an idea" he starts, turning off the TV and turning to me.

"Yeah?"

"Let's go out and watch a movie tonight"

"A movie? Tonight?" I ask, curiously.

"Yeah, we'll see what movies are out." He says.

"Ok, so is this like, um..." I try to think of the right words.

"A date?" he asks.

"Yeah" I mumble.

"Yeah, it is" he says with a nervous smile.

"Okay, a date it is" I smile back.

ERMAHGERD! LEE FRICKIN PACE JUST ASKED ME ON A DATE! Keep calm, keep calm. He is just my friend, right? Do I even like him that way? Urgh! SOMEBODY HELP ME! I really wish I could tell my friends about this, but that can wait a little longer I think.
