A Short and Sweet Morning.
I woke up in the morning and decided I would make Bison a cup of tea before he woke up. Besides, I would make it without being asked. I was sure he would like that.
So I did. I made his favourite.
I walked to his room with the tray and knocked on his door.
"Morning SIR, heehee! Sleep well?", I asked as I walked in.
"ERK!", he said sitting up hastily. He didn't answer my question, instead he asked me a question.
"Any word from China?"
"Nope, none what so ever….", its was true. I had never heard anything.
He seemed a little annoyed at my answer.
"Here!", I said pushing the tray under his nose, "Some tea! Earl Grey, black, no milk and no sugar. Just how you like it."
He looked up at me with a surprised look on his face.
"How the HELL did you know that?"
I smiled and put my hands behind my back.
"Ehehehe… well… er, there IS a note in the kitchen that mentions it with great urgency…"
He raised an eyebrow and took the cup from the tray.
"Sphhhhph." He took a sip and lifted his head.
"T-this is good tea!"
"Thanks, sir…" Wow! A complement!
He reached over to the cupboard and put his cup on it.
I briefly looked at his face, then looked away… then I had to do a double take.
"!", I gasped as I noticed a lipstick mark on his face.
It must have been from when I kissed him last night!
I cringed, hoping that he wouldn't notice it.
"…good tea indeed. Which is more than I can say for the regular tea makers…"
I stared at the lip-shaped mark on his cheek, sweating in my boots.
"Huh?", he said turning to face me and noticing I was looking at him, "What are you staring at, Private?"
I blushed wildly.
"Uhh…. N-nothing!"
He looked briefly at the ceiling and put his hand on his head.
I tried to think of something to say to break the uncomfortable silence.
"Right sir! I-I'll leave you in peace… so you can get dressed…"
"Thank you. Just be sure to report later outside the main hall."
"Yes sir!"
I winked and walked out the room sweating like mad.
