Love Never Dies Without Blood

Chapter 2

The smell of bacon and freshly baked biscuits woke me up.. As I walked down the hall I was expecting to see my mom cooking and my dad on the counter drinking coffee with my brother on his shoulders.
I stopped to look at myself in the mirror, as I saw my reflection reality punched me in the face. Tomorrow my mother would be 5 years dead. My dad had left me when my mother died giving birth to my brother. And now my brother was dead, but by who? That, I will find out today.
“Morning, babe! You didn’t wake up screaming today,” said Akiva and kissed my forehead.
I smiled “The smell of your food gave me good dreams”       
 “Ahh yes ma lady” he said with his Italian accent “ma fud cood become de bast of all”
I kissed him “ So what’s on the menu?”
“Bacon, ham, fresh biscuits, orange juice or coffee, and cereal.”
“ I’ll take a biscuit and a cup of coffee, please”
“Ah ah, you know how you get when you when you drink coffee”
“Come on! The only thing I had died yesterday”
Akiva put a plate with eggs and bacon in front of me. “You still have me” and he kissed me “Here’s the orange juice you ordered” 
“You can be a pain in the ass, you know?”
“ I know and you can be a bitch too” he pulled a chair out and pointed for me to sit on his lap
“I love you though,” I said as sat on his lap
“I love you more,” he said and pulled me in for a long passionate kiss
