Chapter 2- McKay's Bed and Breakfast

Time difference- Brenda arrived from Minnesota last night and moved into Dylan's house in a spare bedroom. So it's the next morning now!!!! Thanks for your Reviews, I enjoyed reading your responses, I hope hear from you again this time!!!! 

9am Dylan's House

Brenda awakes and sees the morning sun shining. She gets up out of bed and goes to the restroom to wash up. On the way she passes by Dylan's room where he is still crashed out. She stands in his doorway just watching him sleep. Just then she remembers the night before when she was unpacking. She looks down at the shirt she is wearing.

"Damn it…" She says quietly to herself. She is obviously upset.

"What Bren?" Dylan walks over to her room.

"I forgot my night shirt. Its my favorite one, I have had it for the longest time." A very tired Brenda complains.

"Don't worry about it. Tomorrow we will go get you a new night gown, shirt, whatever you like….." Dylan says without even thinking twice

"Dylan.." Brenda tries to interrupt.

Dylan just keeps talking not even noticing she is trying to stop him.

"But for now you can sleep in my favorite shirt." Dylan offers as he walks away to his room to get it.

Brenda seems to be flattered, but kind of confused on how to react. She sits down on the bed and just stares at the wall. She knows she loves him, but he is with someone else. She really wants to try and be appreciative of his generosity without taking it to far.

Dylan walks back with a red flannel shirt.

"Here you go…" Dylan hands her the shirt.

"Thank you Dylan" She grabs the shirt. "I really appreciate you doing all of this for me Dylan….I don't know what I would do with out you.

Back to present

Dylan rolls over in his sleep causing Brenda to flash back to reality.

Brenda goes and washes up but decides its still early so she stays in her nightshirt.

'So Dylan, do you keep anything in your fridge….?" She mumbles to herself.

She walks over to the kitchen.

"I guess I could make breakfast for you since you are doing all this for me." She mumbles some more.

She starts pulling out the eggs and bacon and some pancake mix.

Pretty soon you can hear cooking and pans moving around coming from the kitchen.

Dylan awakes to the smell of the bacon coming from the kitchen. He gets up out of bed and walks out in the hallway and sees Brenda cooking up a storm!

"Brenda what are you doing, its 9:30?" Half asleep Dylan

"What's it look like? I thought you might be hungry when you wake up tomorrow." Sarcastic Brenda laughs.

Dylan walks to the bathroom to wash up and come back out.

"You really didn't have to do this Bren." Dylan tells her.

"Yeah and you didn't have to do all of this for me either. It's the least I could do for you…" Brenda gets serious.

Brenda puts a plate of pancakes, eggs and bacon down in front of him. As she is putting the plate down there hands brush against each others.

"Thanks Bren…" –Dylan

They are just staring into each others eyes….

"For what?" –Brenda

"Having me in your life…."

Silence in the room, they are giving each other that irresistible look…

"Milk or juice?" Brenda quickly changes the subject.

"Juice, but I am serious. You have been there for me in ways that no one can ever possible understand. I don't know who I would be with out you…." Dylan tries to make her understand. She does understand but those words are not helping her right now.

"Dylan I know. You don't have to tell me. I know. And you are there for me. Its just how we are. You are my best friend." She explains.

She makes a plate for herself and sets it at the table. She forgot to make herself a drink so she goes back to fridge and gets the juice. Just as she is pouring it there is a knock on the door and then the door opens.

'Dylan I brought over some breakfast tacos. I thought we could have breakfast together." Kelly walks in holding a bag.

Dylan with a fork full of pancakes just looks at her for a second. He is totally stunned and doesn't know what to say.

"Kelly…." Dylan doesn't know what to say to her.

Just then Brenda grabs her glass of juice not knowing what to do at the sound of Kelly's voice. Kelly walks over and sees Brenda in nothing but one of Dylan's shirts.

"Oh I see…." Kelly just looks on.

"Kelly its not what you think…" Dylan tries to think of something.

"Really, well I bring you breakfast only to see Brenda has already made it for you." Upset Kelly.

Brenda wonders if she should say anything.

"Kelly really its not. I just thought after everything that Dylan has done for me, it's the least I could do." Brenda tries to reassure Kelly.

"So what Brenda, you left your clothes in Minnesota too?" Kelly

"That's enough Kel. " Dylan stops her.

"I'll be in my room." Brenda walks away to her room, she has heard enough from Kelly.

"What you are taking her side again? This never ends Dylan. Never. " Kelly is furious at the situation.

"Kelly, she just made me breakfast. And yes she forgot her pajamas in Minnesota. And No she is not going to take a flight back to get them. Or wait for them in the mail. I leant her a shirt. Its not that hard to understand." Dylan is tired of having to defend his friendship with Brenda to her.

"You know what, I am out of here. Here is your damn tacos. I must be stupid but I thought maybe you would want to have your girlfriend bring you breakfast this morning. Sorry my mistake." Kelly storms out. Again.

10:30 Am. Walsh House.

The Door bell rings and Brandon runs to answer it.

"Hey Kelly. What wrong?" Brandon sees Kelly is upset.

"I don't know what to do. Dylan is so frustrating. I am tired of him being Brenda's shoulder to cry on. " Kelly's eyes begin to water.

Brandon motions for her to come inside. He hugs her and tries to cheer her up.

Back at Dylan's (While Kelly is Walshes)

Dylan waited a second then walked back to Brenda's room.

"Don't let her bother you. She just gets upset sometimes." Dylan tries to cheer her up.

"Well maybe I should have got dressed. I don't know. I am sorry for causing you so much problems with her. Maybe I should stay in a hotel or go back home." Brenda is upset.

"That's ridiculous and you know it. You can stay here." Dylan just looks at her.

"Dylan….are you sure?" Brenda knows she wants to stay there. As much as she really could care less about what Kelly thinks, she knows that Dylan cares about Kelly and this must be somewhat difficult situation for him.

"yes….I want you to stay. I am not going to let you sleep on someones couch. I don't care who's couch it is. And you are not going to a hotel. " Dylan says without hesitation. "How about those pj's I was going to get for you. " He walks over and grabs her hand.

"Ok. Lets go. ….well wait, I want to take a shower first."

He laughs "Ok well I will take a nap…wake me when you are done."

"Shut up, I'll be out in 15 minutes. Ready in 30." She playfully hits him and then gets up to go the shower.
