Day ?
I've lost track on how many days passed since the scandal broke. When I woke up on the couch in Jaymes' bedroom I was glad to see that she was still sound asleep. I took off the earplugs I was still wearing last night and plugged the iphone to charge. I decided to clean her room: I've thrown the magazines, tabloids and other papers that has been scattered on her floor. I've also gathered Jaymes' shirts, jeans and shoes that has been lying around.
At around 10am, i left Jaymes room and headed down to the kitchen. I rummaged the refrigerator and found some eggs and bacon. I honestly don't know how to cook but Jaymes and I will definitely die if we don't eat real food. I made a sunny side-up and grilled the bacon. I wasted almost half an hour opening all the drawers to find mugs, plates, coffee, sugar and other utensils. While searching, i found some slices of bread and toasted them.
While preparing the table, I was bewildered to see a dog pass by. Then suddenly there was a loud shutting of the door upstairs. She must have woken, I told myself. She padded barefoot down the stairs as she made her way to the kitchen. I saw relief flicker in her eyes the moment she saw me bent over the table finishing breakfast preparations.
"Morning," I greeted.
"You stayed?"she said and it sounded more like a question than a statement.
She ran towards me and touched me as if like a ghost I will suddenly disappear.
"Uh?What exactly are you doing?" I asked her. My subconscious was laughing so hard right now.
Realizing what she was doing, she abruptly took her hands off me.
"Breakfast?" I asked nervously. "i really have no idea what it is you eat but I think bacon and egg will pass right?" I asked again. I saw her smile just a little, she shrugged and said it was alright. I poured her an orange juice.
"Thanks."she mumbled. "I haven't really eaten anything since Tuesday. I think I've missed it."
"Go ahead and eat then, I promise that is edible." I smiled at her and went back upstairs to get the phone and plugged the earphones again just in case Cedrick calls.
When I returned in the kitchen, I was glad to see her still eating. She suddenly looked up from her plate and saw me.
"Oh god, I'm sorry."
"What?Why?" I asked.
She then turned my head to the left to look at my cheek which she had slapped last night.
"I've hit you."She said eyes wide.
"Yeah, that one really hurt." I joked trying to lighten the mood.
"i really am sorry"she said again.
