As the morning sun shined through the bedroom window, the sleeping couple began to stir when the alarm clock rang throughout the room.
Scotty reached up to stop the awful ringing before it woke Lilly up.
He looked back at the sleeping angel lying in his arms trying to figure out what he did to deserve such an amazing beautiful witty person to be in love with, not that he would confess that to her yet. She might think he is crazy for falling in love with a person in a matter of a few days. But then again, he might be crazy in love. He laughed quietly not wanting to disturb his lover.
Deciding on giving his brain a break first thing in the morning, he kisses Lilly on the forehead before he went into the bathroom.
After doing his morning ritual in the bathroom, he made his way into the kitchen planning on surprising Lilly with breakfast in bed.
Maybe his luck was turning around. He brought groceries a few days ago when he ran out of coffee. If he hadn't, there wouldn't have been anything edible in his kitchen and he would be SOL right now.
Let it be known that Scotty Valens is actually a great cook. He just never bothered to cook when it was just for himself. Why bother? It's a waste of time or so he told himself.
Occasionally, he would cook for an hour or two and freeze all the food so when he came home late after work he would have something to eat because a person can only live on fast food and take out for so long.
It was something he did. It wasn't like he was going to tell the guys he works with that he can cook. They will give him an earful every time they saw him. They were already teasing him for being 'pretty' and that no woman can say no to that baby cute face of his so he really doesn't to need to add fuel to the fire.
He knew he was an attractive guy. Sometimes, he did use it to work it to his advantage. Who wouldn't, thought Scotty.
While Scotty was in the kitchen preparing breakfast, Lilly stretched in bed before walking out to the bathroom to freshen up.
As Lilly stepped out of the bathroom, there was a wonderful smell in the air. Pancake was Lilly's first thought then coffee. The aroma floated throughout the entire apartment making her mouth water. In that moment, her stomach grumbled reminding at she was famished especially after last night's activities. At that thought, a smile crept its way onto Lilly's face.
Before she could get further into her thoughts as she made her way to Scotty, she heard a distinct sizzling sound and then the wonderful fragrance of bacon was mixed with the buttery pancake smell and the freshly brewed coffee.
It has been a while since anyone has made her breakfast. No scratch that, no one has ever made her breakfast, not even her own mother. As soon as she could walk, she had to fend for herself. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner with her mom had always been whatever she could get her hands on or some times, she would even go without a meal.
When Lilly saw Scotty, she snapped out of her thoughts. She didn't want to think of her childhood and become depressed when she was finally happy.
She walked over to Scotty who still had his back turned to her as he flipped the bacon in the frying pan. Lilly wrapped her arms around Scotty's waist as she inhaled deeply and sighed onto Scotty's shoulder enjoy the contact.
Scotty tensed for a second as he felt a hand coming around him. When he saw it was Lilly, he relaxed and fell into the embrace and continued to finish making breakfast.
When he turned off the stove, he spun around in the embrace so they were facing one another.
"Hey sleepyhead, I was going to make breakfast in bed for you, but seeing how you are already up we could eat here on the table," said Scotty happily before stealing a kiss from Lilly who whined as he broke away.
He had to smile at the adorable face Lilly made as she pouted.
"Everything looks and smell wonderful Scotty," Lilly told him sweetly.
"You don't know what wonderful is until you taste this," replied Scotty cockily as he raised a fork full of pancake.
Lilly shook her head and smirked before she opened her mouth willing to a bite. It tasted like nothing she has ever eaten. The other pancakes she has eaten in her life fail misery in comparison to Scotty's. She moaned as she chewed her food before swallowing it.
"God, Scotty, is there anything you can't do?" asked Lilly wonder what else he could do.
"Only time will tell. I might have a few more surprises up my sleeve." answered Scotty before he began to eat.
"How did you learn to cook?" inquired Lilly as she, too, began to eat the delicious meal Scotty made.
"My mom taught me when she was not too busy. This is one of her secret recipes."
"Really! We talked about me last night, so want to tell me about yourself?"
"There's not much to me. My parents co-own a restaurant with a friend of theirs. My childhood house was crowded."
"How so?"
"I lived with my grandmother, two blood uncles and their wives and children and then my blood aunt and her husband and children. I bet you can't even imagine how hectic it was in our household."
"Wow! That's a lot of people. I think I might have suffocated if there were that many people in my house."
"I might have too if someone just told me that, but I grew up like that and got used to it. The only thing I never got used to was the fact that whenever I wanted to use the bathroom, there was always someone already in there."
Scotty and Lilly shared a laugh.
"Are they still alive?"
"O yea. I usually visit my parents once a week or every other week depending on the case load. I hang out with my cousins whenever we feel like it."
They continued to talk about his family until they finished eating.
"I got the dishes, Lilly. You can go change now," offered Scotty clearing the table.
"No. You cooked. I'll do the dishes," protested Lilly taking the plate out of Scotty's hands.
"It's fine. I'll do them," responded Scotty taking back the plate Lilly stole from him.
"Haven't you ever heard of the saying 'the cook never cleans'?" countered Lilly taking the plate again out of his hand and walked over to the sink before Scotty could argue again.
Scotty sighed and let Lilly do the dishes. This was stupid. He has never in his life argued to do the dishes when someone else offered to do them. There were only two explanations for this: one, he finally went insane, or two, he's in love.
Hoping it was the latter, he walked off in the direction of his bedroom.
