my alarm on my phone echoes throughout the room and i groan when i hear the irritating sound. i take my pillow and put it over my face. "why must i wake up every morning, especially so early!" my voice is muffled.
i hear benny shift and wake up. the pillow falls off of my face and i look at him. his beautiful green eyes look back at me. "good morning handsome boy!" i coo.
he lets out a big yawn and a stretch before he walks up next to me, curling up in the crook of my neck. his face rests against mine and when i reach my hand up to pet his silky fur, he purrs into my ear.
"while i would love to sit here with you all day sir benedict, it's the day of the dance and i kind of can't, i must get ready" i force out a proper british accent.
it's not a good one, not even in the slightest, but it is one hell of an attempt.
golden sunlight falls through the blinds that cover the window right next to my bed. it's pretty till the light shifts and the rays go into my eyes.
i squint at the sudden brightness. "if that's not a sign to get out of bed, i don't know what is" i say to myself before moving benny away slightly. i sit all the way up and look back at my black cat. he seems to be quite upset that i moved him off of me but he quickly yawns and lays back down. he has no energy to be angry, he'd rather just sleep.
my body lets out a soft chuckle, thinking about how adorable my small animal is.
i push myself up and off the bed for the first time since i had fallen asleep. my legs take me out of my room and down to the kitchen. i can smell the amazing scent of my moms cooking as soon as i open my bedroom door.
the aroma is something you can't miss.
"mom! it smells delicious!" i say and she smiles, "thank you honey."
i bend down to her stomach. "hello little brother slash sister" i smile to the bump. my parents didn't want to know the assigned sex of said baby until it was born, just like they did with me.
"i don't know how you guys can wait to find out, if i was pregnant, i would want to know what i was having right away" i sit down at the table and they shake their heads.
