Daisy groaned as she woke up to blinding sunlight pouring in from the bedroom window. She shifted slightly so she could check the time, 5:00 A.M. She pulled the covers back and pulled herself into a seated position to give her eyes time to adjust to the light. After five minutes, she pulled herself to her feet and felt a surge of panic when she glanced to the other side of the bed and Sauli was not there. However, she arched her eyebrows in confusion when she heard a faint sizzling sound and slowly made her way out into the main area of the hotel room. She smirked when she saw Sauli in the kitchenette standing shirtless over the stove.
"I didn't know you cooked." Daisy said amusement lacing her voice.
"I love to cook and I figured since you let me stay here with you it was the right thing to do." Sauli said as he cracked another egg.
"What are you making?" Daisy said.
"It's a surprise." Sauli said a playful smirk gracing his features.
"You know I have ways of making you talk." Daisy said mischievously as she snuck up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Do you now because I'm not going to give up my secret that easily." Sauli said playfully smacking her wrist with the spatula.
"I will get you to talk." Daisy whispered into his ear.
"Will you now." Sauli said trying to stifle his laughter
"Yes I will and do you want to know how?" Daisy whispered into his ear.
"How?" Sauli said suppressing a shiver as Daisy ran her hand over his spine.
"I'll use my superior interrogation techniques and if that fails I'll use my martial arts training." Daisy growled as she let him go and leaned against the counter.
"Go right ahead we'll see who wins this battle." Sauli said patronizingly.
"Are you sure you want to play this game with me?" Daisy said glaring at him.
"I'm not an easy cookie to break." Sauli replied ignoring her.
"Oh we will have to see. What if I pour this entire container of black pepper into that little bowel of whatever it is your making?" Daisy said dangling the black pepper over the bowel.
"Okay I give in, I'm making an omelet." Sauli said nervousness lacing his voice.
"Mmm omelet, I love omelets. You can read me like an open book Sauli." Daisy said with a smile as she patted Sauli on the back
After Daisy said that, she smirked at the glint of mischievousness in Sauli's eyes and decided to go find her computer. She walked back into the bedroom where she knew she had put her computer and DVD discs. Daisy knew that there were home movies recorded on DVD's that she wanted Sauli to see while they enjoyed breakfast together.
Daisy grabbed her computer and the DVD's and sat down placing the computer on the night stand. She leaned up against the headboard and pulled the covers over her legs. She began looking through her collection of DVD's for the one she wanted to show to Sauli. She found the one she was looking for, a home movie of her and Adam's prom night, which she shot right before their graduation from high school.
She remembered that night clearly, as if it was yesterday. She remembered all the other girls were jealous when she showed up at school with Adam, Jeff and Nick. Jeff was her prom date but the only reason he went was to keep an eye on her, Adam and his identical twin brother, Nick. Daisy had just as much gone to the prom with Adam because unlike Jeff, Adam loved to party as did she. Even if Jeff and Nick were twins, he was always the one to act as a big brother to all three of them.
Daisy could not help but let out a snort of laughter when she looked at the photo taken of all four of them and how much she and Adam had changed. Adam had his cute red hair and she was blonde. Jeff and Nick had not changed that much, other than changing hairstyles.
She sat there staring at the computer thinking back to the old days and all the good times she had with Adam, Jeff and Nick growing up. They all had a massive impact on her life, making her feel special and loved.
She could feel Sauli's presence and looked up to see him standing beside the bed handing her a plate with a steaming omelet on it.
"Breakfast my lady." Sauli said trying to stifle his laughter.
"Mmm this smells great; I found a movie I thought we should watch together if that's okay." Daisy said pointing at the computer.
Sauli nodded his head as he carefully sat down on the bed pulling the covers over his legs and setting his plate on his lap. They both took a forkful of their omelet and put it in their mouths before Daisy pressed the play button.
Daisy snuggled up against Sauli and rested her head on his shoulder as the video played on the small screen before them. They mostly ate in silence laughing occasionally when something funny, like Adam tripping and almost falling off the stage happened.
They sat there for a while watching the video, Daisy explaining who individual people were until they heard a knock on the door. Daisy glanced at the clock and realized half an hour had passed and groaned.
The next thing they knew Reid was standing in the room looking shocked and more than a little hurt when he saw them curled up, Sauli half-naked.
Reid tried to turn around and walk out of the room, his cheeks flushing in embarrassment but Daisy stopped him by grabbing his arm and closing the door.
"Reid, it's not what it looks like this is my friend Sauli. I had Garcia fly him over from Finland last night after the hotel incident. Sauli is Adam's boyfriend and I wanted to surprise Adam so I let Sauli stay with me for the night. Reid, please sit down and have some of this lovely omelet, I'm sure you haven't had breakfast yet." Daisy said gesturing to the bed.
Reid did as told and sat down shaking hands with a very nervous Sauli. The Finnish male looked like he could die of embarrassment at any second. Daisy took the opportunity to sneak out of the room while they were distracted to grab a plate and fork for Reid. When she returned she couldn't help but laugh at the look on Sauli's face as she sat back down on the bed. She calmly stroked his cheek and offered him an apologetic smile that seemed to make him ease up. She cut her omelet into two pieces and scooped the biggest piece onto the empty plate that she handed to Reid along with the fork.
She moved her computer to the side, crawled back under the covers, and took another bite of her omelet, enjoying the company of the two men.
"So what are you doing up so early?" Daisy said watching as Reid slowly ate his omelet.
"After last night I just wanted to catch you before your morning run and make sure you're okay." Reid said trying not to sound to shaken.
"That's really sweet but I'll be okay. Listen, why don't we go down to the bar? I'll call Adam and the four of us can talk there." Daisy suggested trying to dispel the awkwardness.
"Sure." They both said in unison.
"Reid you can head down and we'll catch up." Daisy said as she got up and began rummaging through her go bag for something to wear.
