Summer Paradise in December

Ch. 14 – Breakfast Surprises

            "Beep, beep, beep", the alarm clock's buzzer rang in Summer's ear.  She slowly opened her eyes and wondered to herself why she had set her alarm clock for; she reached over and turned the clock to face her, 5:45.  "Oh yah", she reminded herself.  "It's be-nice-to-Seth-Cohen Day."  She slowly got out of bed and lethargically trudged her way over to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for the day that lie ahead of her.

            Summer stepped out of the bathroom at 6:04.  She quickly got dressed in a Dolce and Gabbana denim mini skirt and a blue Prada off the shoulder top with her favorite Jimmy Choo sandals.  She quickly blow-dried her hair then crimped it.  Summer put on her daily fix of make-up then grabbed her room key and her leather sea blue Gucci bag and headed out the door.

            Summer walked to the hotel parking lot and unlocked the Cadillac Escalade that Seth's parents had rented for the four of them to use over their vacation.  She climbed into the front seat and started the car.  She backed out of the parking lot and headed towards the local supermarket.  The grocery store was close so it only took Summer about eight minutes to get there.  She parked the car and clicked the button on her key to lock the car.  She walked into the store and went to the egg section.  She grabbed a carton of a dozen eggs then walked along the back wall of the store and got some bacon and sausage out of one of the freezers.  Then she got some orange juice and milk from another refrigerator.  Summer ambled down the cereal aisle contemplating which cereals to get, Captain Crunch, Count Chocula or Lucky Charms.  Captain Crunch and Lucky Charms seemed most Seth-like so she picked those two and walked to the front of the store to the checkout counter.  She stood in line for about three minutes then the cashier rung up her items and Summer paid her the eighteen dollars and forty-seven cents she owed the lady and walked out the door back to her car.  She loaded the groceries into the back seat and set off back to the hotel. 

By the time Summer got to Seth's bungalow it was 6:50.  She knew that Seth wouldn't be up anytime soon so she tenderly unlocked the door with the key she still had to the room, and tip-toed into the kitchen of the lavish suite.  She set all of the groceries down on the counter.  First she put the milk and orange juice into the fridge and got out a large bowl to make the eggs in.  Summer then turned the stove on and turned the heat to medium/high.  She took out 4 eggs and set the rest of the carton back into the refrigerator and gingerly cracked each egg and set the shell in the trash can located under the sink.  She beat the eggs with a whisk and added pepper and salt to them for taste.  She then put the beaten eggs into a skillet and put the skillet on the stove.  She let the eggs sit for a little while then started moving them around to make sure they were fully cooked.  She finished the eggs and set them on the back burner on low heat to keep them warm.  She then took out the bacon and sausage, greased another skillet with PAM spray and set three strips of bacon and three sausage links in the pan.  Summer let those cook for about five minutes then also set them on a back burner to keep them warm.  She then moved on to the pancakes.  She opened the box of Bisquick and poured the powder into a large mixing bowl.  She then added the only ingredient need; water.  Summer mixed the water into the powder and soon she had a thick paste.  Another skillet was waiting on the stove and she poured four small spoonfuls of the batter into the pan.  The pancakes cooked for about two minutes then Summer flipped them and let them cook for another two minutes on the other side. 

By this time it was already 7:20.  Seth usually woke up around 7:45 so Summer decided to set the table.  She went to the cupboard and got out four plates.  One for the eggs, one for the bacon and egg, one for the pancakes and one for Seth to put his food on.  She loaded the food onto each of the plates and set them down on the table.  Summer then went back to the cupboard and got out a tall glass for the orange juice and grabbed the beverages from the refrigerator.  She also got out the cereal she had bought and set it on the table.  Then she arranged all of the breakfast items on the table in an attractive manner and sat down to admire her work. 

"Look what you can do when you really put your mind to something", she thought to herself.

Summer looked around the room and spotted a pad of paper on the nightstand that had the hotels insignia on it.  She quietly walked over to the nightstand so as not to wake Seth and grabbed the pad of paper as well as a pen.  She sat down at the table and wrote a note;

Seth-

     I hope you like the breakfast I made.  It's all of your favorite foods.  Anyway, please enjoy and don't get the feeling that you have to somehow repay me.  This was a free gesture that does not need to be repaid.  Once again I'm sorry for what I did and hope that someday you can forgive me.  I love you Cohen.

Luv always,

-Summer

            Summer folded the note up and left it on his plate.  She then cleaned up the mess she had made, grabbed her purse and walked out the door thinking what her next good deed could be.  Be-nice-to-Seth-Cohen Day was not over quite yet.
