Chapter Eighteen
Eventually, I was able to scoot out from under Maka and get up with out waking her. I couldn't sleep any longer, so it was beginning to get veeerrrry awkward... So yeah. I got a quick shower, brushed my teeth and hair, and got changed into some shorts and one of those sleeveless undershirt things... What? It was hot! So anyway, she was still sleeping, so I started to make breakfast: bacon, eggs, and pancakes. No, there was no special occasion, but I figured if I was doing it I might as well do it right.
She must have smelled the food, because she groggily got up, and dragged herself into the kitchen.
"Mmmmm... Soul... It looks good...*yawn*... You didn't have to do this..." She smiled at me, "I appreciate it, though..."
I grinned back, "ha... I knew you would... And you're the one who always cooks, so... Um... Yeah." I flipped the pancakes and turned the burner off for the bacon. The eggs were already on the table. Maka grabbed the pan for the bacon and set it out with the eggs. Then, she gave me a random hug, giving me the chills, of course.
"Um... Th... Thanks..." I stuttered as she let go. 'Ugh... thanks... What a stupid thing to say... Stupid stupid STUPID!' I was face palming in my head when I heard a chair scratch across the floor.
"You're welcome. *yawn*" she stretched, then beckoned me to come and sit across from her. I grabbed the pancakes and set them with the rest of the food, then did as she said. "Thanks, again." She gave me a grateful look, then started eating. 'God, she's so cu- Er... Um... I'm just gonna eat now...' When we were finished, I brought the plates over to the sink and started scrubbing at them. Maka started taking everything else off the table and putting them in the fridge. Once, as she walked by, she lightly brushed against me, shocking me and sending a wave of heat straight up to my face, of course. 'Gah! Why do I blush over such stupid things?! Humph...'
When she was done, she said she would be back later, then walked down the hallway to the bathroom. I heard the shower start, so I went back to my room. I lied on my bed, hands behind my head, and just thought about... Well... Everything. 'I wonder what we should do today... Maybe we could go back to the woods... Or something like that... Hmmmm' The shower turned off, and about thirty seconds later, Maka walked down the hallway in a towel. Wow... She looks a lot different when her hair is down... And wet... She walked by my room, but backtracked when she saw me.
"Um... Soul?"
"Huh?"
"Are you ok? You look... Uh... Upset about something..." She looked at me, concerned, while I looked at her, confused.
"What do you mean? I'm fine." Then I realized that I probably had a weird look on my face as I thought about the meltdown yesterday...
"Oh... Never mind then... Must have been my imagination." She turned and continued walking down the hall. When I heard her door shut, I sighed, the got up. I went and stood outside her room and said through the door,
"Do you wanna go to the park again?"
She stopped whatever she was doing, then thought about it. "What's the weather like?"
"It's nice out... It's about 80 degrees... So..."
"Yeah, sure. Just let me get dressed... I'll just put my hair in a messy bun since its wet..."
"Ok..." I had no clue what a messy bun was. Whatever... I went back to my room and put a t-shirt on, and brushed my hair again. Maka appeared at my doorway. 'Oh... So that's a messy bun... I... I guess I... I really like them, now...' She looked really... Er... Nice...
"Alright, I'm ready. I just have to put my shoes on."
"Yeah, me too." Maka left and went into the living room. After I put my shoes on, I followed. She was waiting for me at the door.
So, we left, and instead of taking my bike, we walked there. Once we got there, Maka climbed up a tree and rested on a fork, which looked really comfortable, so I did the same, on one a little higher than hers. We were quietly watching the sun beams find their way through the leaves when Maka asked a question that I hadn't really thought about before.
"Why did you want to come here again?" I looked down to see her gazing at me quizzically.
"Uh..." Now that I thought about it, I realized my subconscious mind wanted to have some... Alone time... With her... So I lied. Of course. "Well... It was nice out... And there was nothing else to do... So why not?" Thank god I said that smoothly...
"Oh... It is really nice out today, isn't it..." I snuck a glance at her face and saw she was staring dreamily at the rays of light in a clearing ahead. We sat I'm silence for a while, until she asked another question.
"So, are you ready for tomorrow?" I thought about it... What was tomorrow? Hmmm... I donno...
"What's tomorrow...?" I looked down at her, and she looked back up. She chuckled lightly, then I remembered as soon as she said it.
"We go back to school tomorrow, silly!"
