*Song: Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson*

When you woke up all you could see was blackness and all you felt was a heavy mass. You wiggled around to notice Flip somehow in the middle of the night literally laid half of this body on you. 

He was not a small man. Actually, Maeve's nickname for him was the refrigerator. He was crushing you but it was a good crush. If this is how you went out you would be fine with that. Crushed by the love of your life doesn't sound too bad. Then you remembered last night and how you admitted you loved him. Your heart literally melted when he admitted he felt the same. For once in your life, you were completely and blissfully happy. 

When you finally wiggled out enough to escape without waking him you looked over at the beautiful creature, thankful that he was yours. You pushed the hair that had fallen down his face behind his ear and lightly kissed his forehead before tiptoeing out of the room. 

When you walked into the living room you were shocked to see no Maeve passed out on the couch. 

You walked into the kitchen to see a note leftover from Maeve. It read: 'hey girl, I'm out with dave (bathroom guy). I'll be home later ;)'. You laughed. Leave it to Maeve to find a man her first day here. 

You started cooking breakfast for you and Flip. You put on your Spotify and the music began playing softly in the background. Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson was playing. You began gently swinging your hips while mixing the pancake mix in the bowl. 

You were so lost in your own world, you hadn't realized Flip had entered the kitchen in a pair of sweatpants and nothing else. When his hands found your hips you couldn't help but turn around giving him a once over. You smirked while biting your lip. You truly did not understand how you got lucky to have this man in your life. 

Your hands found a home cradling the back of his neck. His left hand was gently wrapped around your waist while his right moved to find your hand that was around his neck. He pulled it into his hand and pulled me close to his chest. 

It took you a second but you realized what he was doing. He was slow dancing to the music with you. It was so peaceful and you were content. You both swayed just like that for a few songs. Periodically throughout he would quietly hum along to the music. Your head only left his chest a few times so you could get on your tiptoes to kiss him. 

"Honey, if I don't put the mix on the griddle we will never eat." You said while rubbing your hand up and down his back giving him one more hug before you pulled away. 

You couldn't help but giggle when Flip whined when you pulled away. For being a big, intimidating detective he was the biggest baby at home and you loved it. 

"So what are your plans for the day," he asked while walking to the kitchen island but not before leaving a playful slap on your butt. You yelped not expecting it which caused him to chuckle. 

"I have to get coffee with Connie," you responded while rolling your eyes. "She called me last night while I was out saying she wanted to meet."

"Call her and say you don't feel good. Stay in bed all day with me." 

Although that sounded amazing you knew you couldn't. 

Sighing you said, "I have to go, Flip, she told me Felix is letting her 'help' out with the klan and I need to figure out what she means." 

I completely forgot I hadn't told him about this and his face was evidence of that. "WHAT? What did she say?" 

"She didn't say much. I could tell she was trying to be quiet so Felix wouldn't hear her telling me. But she said how that bitch doesn't know what is coming to her and something about fireworks. I don't really know what she meant it was very cryptic. That's why I need to go today and find out."
