Mara woke up the next morning, she rubbed her eyes, it was a sunny but cold morning, she didn't want to get out of bed but the thought of seeing Randy this morning got her excited. She got out of bed and walked to the bathroom to shower and get ready to go. After getting dressed and fixing her hair she grabbed her bag with books for Jason today. She locked her front door and got into her car and drove to Randy's house. She parked up on Randy's drive behind his car and walked to the door to see him already standing there.
"Good morning, I saw you pull up" He smiled.
"Morning" Mara smiled back and walked in when Randy stepped aside. He closed the door and they walked into the kitchen together. Mara sat at the table.
"Jason is asleep. Nathan brought him home at around 8 this morning he went straight to sleep. I can go wake him if you like" Randy said.
"No, it's okay, let him sleep. I can start whenever he wakes up" She said as Randy nodded and walked over to Mara. He pecked her lips and smiled then sat opposite her.
"Did you sleep well?" He asked.
"yeah, I did. I was cold though. Did you sleep well?" she asked.
"I did but same as you, I was cold too" He said.
"I was nice and warm in your arms last night, it's a shame you had to leave" Mara smiled and Randy smiled back at her.
"I didn't wanna leave" He smiled. "Shall we make pancakes for breakfast?" Randy asked.
"Sounds good" Mara said and the both stood up. Randy took out all the equipment and ingredients that he'd need to make them.
"You're gonna love my pancakes" Randy said as he poured the mix into a bowl accidentally spilling some on Mara's feet. "Oh I'm so sorry" Randy said turning over to get a cloth for her. When he turned around Mara flicked some pancake mix onto him.
"Now we're even" She giggled then started running away from Randy who had some in his hand. He chased Mara into the living room where he managed to catch her. He pinned her on the sofa with him on top.
"Mine was an accident. Say sorry" Randy smirked looking down at her and she was giggling.
"Nope" She said and he lifted his hand up threatening to pour the mix on her that was in his hand.
"Say it or else" He grinned and she was still giggling and closed her eyes waiting for him to pour the mix on her. Instead he leaned down and placed his lips onto hers. She opened her eyes slightly to look at him then wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. He had a smirk on his lips when he pulled away.
"If that's my punishment for picking on you then I shall pick on you all the time" Mara grinned at Randy then sat up.
"I'm not gonna complain" He smiled then pecked her lips and stood up. "Let's finish these pancakes then" He smiled. She nodded and walked into the kitchen with him. They made pancakes together Mara had a little help from Randy.
"Morning sleepy head. It's 12pm. Hardly morning now" Randy chuckled when Jason walked into the kitchen.
"I was tired" Jason shrugged and sat at the table.
"We just finished making pancakes" Randy said and put a plate of pancakes on the table. He sat opposite Mara and beside Jason. They all ate their pancakes then Randy cleaned up while Mara began her tuition with Jason.
"Jason's all caught up with his literature now" Mara said when she walked into the living room after she finished with Jason. She sat beside Randy when he reached his arm out for her. He placed his arm around her and pulled her close.
"Thank you so much" Randy said and kissed Mara's cheek. "Do you want another date tonight?"
"That sounds nice. But I'm not dressed for a date" Mara said.
"It's not exactly a date. I don't plan on taking you out. I want to cook dinner for you tonight. Right here in my house" Randy said running his hand along her arm.
"That sounds lovely. What about Jason?" She asked.
"It's his friends birthday, he'll be at a party" Randy said then interlaced his fingers with hers.
"Okay" Mara smiled at him, she had become so used to being in his arms, it made her feel comfortable and safe.
"Good. I will cook my speciality" Randy said.
"What's that?" She asked.
"You'll see later. While I'm cooking you just relax here on the couch and watch some TV and if you need anything just let me know" Randy said. Mara felt completely spoiled when she was around him. She wasn't complaining though, she loved it. They spent the afternoon watching whatever they found on TV.
"I better go start cooking" Randy said and pecked Mara's lips before getting up.
"Okay, let me know if you need help" She said but he shook his head.
"Nah, you just relax here, I'll even bring you a cup of hot chocolate in a bit" Randy smiled and walked into the kitchen.
"Dad, I'm going to leave now" Jason said as he walked into the kitchen.
"Okay, but Jas can I have a word?" Randy asked him. He needed to speak to him about this now.
"What's up?" He asked.
"Would you feel okay if I asked Mara to be my girlfriend?" He asked quietly so Mara couldn't hear. Jason looked at Randy thinking.
"I'll be fine dad, as long as she makes you happy then don't worry what I think. I don't hate the idea, I like it" He said making Randy smile. He quickly gave Jason a hug before letting go.
"Good. Your curfew is midnight, if you're back late then no going out next Saturday." Randy said. "I have something planned for that day anyway"
"Alright dad. Have a good dinner" Jason said. "Bye Miss Blair" Jason called as he made his way to the front door.
"Bye Jason. Have fun" She said when he walked out the house. Randy went back to making a hot chocolate for Mara then he began prepping spaghetti bolognese for dinner.
"Here you go" Randy said walking in with hot chocolate.
"You didn't have to" Mara said as Randy placed the drink on the table in the living room.
"You're my guest and you deserve to get treated like a princess" Randy smiled and Mara smiled back and Randy went back to the kitchen and set up the table. He smiled to himself when everything was ready. He placed two plates of spaghetti on the table and poured some wine into a couple of glasses before walking into the living room to Mara. "Dinners ready" Randy said. Mara smiled and shut the TV then followed Randy into the kitchen.
"Aww you went to so much effort. It looks beautiful" She smiled and looked at the candle lit table with dinner laid out nicely.
"It's not effort" He smiled and pulled out a chair for her, she smiled and sat down then Randy pushed her chair in and sat beside her.
"Food looks delicious" Mara smiled and they began eating.
"How does it taste?" Randy asked. Hoping it tasted good.
"It's great. Cooked perfectly" She said. He smiled at her and continued to eat.
"I want to ask you something and although we've been out on a date already and do most things that couples do I've not even officially asked you yet. So, will you be my girlfriend?"
Mara smiled and blushed. "Yeah of course I will" She said looking at him. He smiled and looked in her eyes.
"Good" He smiled and kissed Mara. She kissed back, the kiss was soft and sweet. Randy pulled away, smile still on his face. It had been a long time since he felt this happy. They finished eating and Mara helped Randy wash up.
"Does Jason know?" Mara asked as she was drying the dishes that Randy was washing.
"Yeah, I told him before he left. He's happy as long as I am" Randy said smiling. Something he had been doing a lot recently.
"Good. I wouldn't want to come between you both" She said. They finished clearing up and walked to the living room. Randy picked a DVD for them to watch. Most of the DVDs he had were horror movies, they weren't Mara's favourite type but she didn't mind.
"If you get too scared just tell me. I have no problem in stopping the DVD." He said as the movie started.
"This isn't so bad" Mara said as she hugged Randy tighter.
"Good." Randy said looking down at Mara. She sensed him looking at her and she turned to look up at him, she smiled back when he smiled at her. "You're beautiful" He whispered to her. She blushed and cuddled him tighter. He leaned down and kissed her softly and full of passion. She wrapped her arms around his neck as they kissed. The feeling of his lips on hers sent butterflies in her stomach. He leaned away slowly and Mara bit her lip making Randy smirk.
"Wow" Mara said breathlessly.
"Sorry. You give me urges to do things like that" Randy grinned and winked at her.
"No need to apologise" She smiled keeping her arms around his neck. "I'm the happiest I've ever been" Mara said.
"Me too" Randy grinned.
