Dressed For Death

CHAPTER 8

HAYDEN

How could I describe yesterday evening? A damn roller coaster that's what it was.

I learned that lady death knows how to throw a powerful punch and she hates talking about her family. You and me both lady death...

However, she likes cuddling in her sleep. I woke up this morning with her snuggled in my arms. That's why I was so damn hot during the night.

I didn't mind it for once. She looked so peaceful in my arms, I didn't want to push her away from me.

I brushed away a strand of her hair away from her face. What are you doing to me sunshine?

Should I make her breakfast? What else does she like except waffles? I guess I could look up online for some ideas.

I slowly got out of bed, trying not to wake her up. She only made a weird-ass sound and turned over. I wanted to sigh in relief, but I simply walked fast out of my bedroom.

I grabbed my phone from the kitchen counter and looked up some breakfast ideas. French toasts could do the trick I guess?

"Don't burn your kitchen down Hayden, it's just some French toasts" I said to myself as I gathered all the ingredients.

I cracked the eggs into a bowl and mixed them aggressively with a fork. Once I was done, I dipped the bread into the egg mix.

"This isn't so difficult after all" I whispered. I just had to not burn them and I'll be the new Gordon Ramsay.

I finished cooking the French toasts and put them on a plate. I added some icing sugar on top of them with maple syrup.

I also added fruits on the side because I was scared for her health with all that maple syrup she was ingesting.

"I can't believe my eyes. Did you made me breakfast" Juliette squealed behind me. Well, I guess it just took the smell of sugar to wake her up.

"No, it's my breakfast. Make your own" I joked.

"Asshole one day, asshole forever" She sighed as she sat on one of the stools in front of the counter.

She rested her head on her hand and looked at me with puppy eyes. I pushed the plate towards her and she looked so happy.

"I was kidding lady death, it's for you" I grinned.

"I knew that, but I wanted to tease you," She said with that damn smile on her face. "Are you going to eat something?" She asked me.

"Probably some toasts" I shrugged. I didn't care about what I was eating, it just had to be eatable.

"Not on my watch. Sit down I'm going to cook something for you" She replied as she stood up from the stool and took her plate with her.

"It's not necessary. Sit down and continue to eat your breakfast" I frowned, but she was stubborn and completely ignored me.

"Juliette seriously, I'm just going to eat toasts" She turned around and glared at me. I didn't argue anymore and just sat down.
