The smell  of something burning curled into Athena's nose.  Bewildered, she became alert as the scent of burning became overbearing and the shrieking of a fire alarm ringed in her ears.  Sitting up in bed realizing she was still in Havens and not her own"s. Athena sighed. 

" Haven" she called as she walked naked down the hall into the kitchen. Granted she could have stopped and grabbed something but the house was extremely hot as the heat was full  blast, even the floors seemed to be heated. 

Becoming extremely alarmed that there might be an actually fire. Athena ran into the kitchen  and breath a sigh of relief for a brief moment. Haven was covered in a dough substances,  kitchen and was fanning the smoke detector, as the smoldering black flames roused from the sink.'

" Open A Window" She shouted and then coughed.

Athena complied, throwing open the patio doors and lifting the window over the sink, seeing that they were snow in she immediately closed the window.

" Well damn" she said  " Did you know we were snowed in when you tried to set the cabin on fire" walking back to wear Haven was struggling to get out of the chair.

" No she pouted , I was trying to cook you breakfast in bed."  They both gazed over to the skillet in the sink "what was it " Athena  said with a small grin. 

" an omelette , Haven stated confidently, as she raked her eyes over Athena naked form. " you know your naked right" 

"yea, i know im naked. why were you  cooking me breakfast in bed. " 

"well , normally i get breakfast in bed after fucking someone, but you were knocked out and I was hungry," Haven Pouted. 

Looking at the mess she had created. Athena took in the scenery of broken eggs everywhere , flour on the counter and in her hair, fruit covered in whipped cream dissolving around it. Athena couldnt help but laugh. 

" Don"t laugh at me, teach me how to cook" Haven pouted  and wrapped her arms around Athena waist. 

Athena looked in to her eyes and ones again she got lost in them, " ah Haven" she kissed her, covering her mouth with Haven, God she felt warm and sweet . She would have promised her marriage if she asked. 

"of course , ill teach some basic but first i need to get dress, the cold is starting to bother me. " Athena chuckled 

For the first time , Haven glances over to the patio doors and saw the snow was atleast 5ft high, definitely snowed in. while Athena went to get dress, Haven went to close the doors and try as she might savage some of the food she didn't ruin so she can have a decent breakfast. 


Gratefully that Haven hadn't set the place on fire, Athena threw on some sweats and an oversize sweater, pulled her hair into a messy ponytail and headed back into the kitchen. re-entering the kitchen walked over to Haven wiping egg wiped off the counters. 

" Alright are you ready to learn how to cook"

" Yes, Master Chef

Spending the next  half hour teaching her how to make a basic edible omelette, Athena realized she was enjoying her time with Haven the more they spend together. Finishing making their breakfast the two went over to the table they sat at last night , to enjoy the breakfast they made.

"With a little guidance your not that bad at cooking" Athena said keeping the mode light

" I think, it had more to do with my teacher than any than," Haven chuckled 

" your mom never taught you how to cook"

" Unlike you, I didnt grow up with a famous Chef for a mom" 

" You wouldnt think it was so good if you knew the pressure that came with that" Athena said smartly

" I didnt mean to offend you," Haven said looking worried

" Not offend, just informing you that, its not all glitz and glamour. It was hell growing up with a famous parent, everyone expected me to be great and be in the limelight like my mom. If im honest I always wanted the opposite, away from people being in my business and wondering what im doing and who im with. "

" I never considered how having a famous parent would have a downsize, I would just be glad for any parent." Haven said sadly

" Your parents are divorce right" 

" Yea, and it was hell growing up, being a mediator between your parents, them working so much to out do the other in gifts but never present to spend time with their kids." Haven wiped a tear from her eyes" I would give any thing to just spend an evening with my parents without them trying to compete against each other but to focus on me"

" I can understand that " Athena reached across the table and grabbed hand with Haven holding tightly and giving it a little squeezed. 

The two shared a longing gazed in each other eyes, longing to tell her whats on her mind, Haven took a deep breath. "okay," she said, locking her gazed with Athena , " Im going to be perfectly honest with you" 

Athena nodded. She had a feeling what Haven was about to say and wanted her to get everything out. 

She blinked her eyes and swallowed.

He gripped the chair harder. 

" If you don't count the week of St Thomas were we spent having sex. I'll only known you for a couple of days, so what I'm about to say might seem crazy but I want to lay it all on the line before this thing goes any further."

"Look Haven--"

"Let Me Finish while i have the nerve.  Last night was amazing as always with you, but my attraction is more than physical with you. The fact that you can cook, and have this sensitive, caring and intelligent side... Makes me a goner." 

" Haven, Im not perfect and there is a great chance I might just break your heart."

She raised one eyebrow. " The only thing that could ruin you for me would be if you were, like , a serial killer, or unmentionable disease, or a serial cheater. 

" what exactly are you saying to me?" Athena wanted to make sure her spiraling mind was on the right track this time.

She took a deep breath and blew it out. " Im asking, is there a chance for a relationship beyond this? Because if not, I want to go back to the "staying out of each other's way" plan."
