Under The Lights

Ten- Titan Pierce

I rummage through Records cabinets trying to find potential ingredients to cook a meal for her but everything is pretty blurry so i decided to run upstairs and grab my glasses off the nightstand. And I decide to throw a shirt on while I'm up here, it feels a little inappropriate walking around her house without one and i don't want to make her uncomfortable.

When i walk down the steps i take another second to look around Record's place since i didn't get a chance to earlier.

It's a really nice place, she has light grey wood floors throughout the house, a huge sage colored rug in the living room with two cream couches. She has pastel purple and pink accent pillows and a dark blue side table. White black out curtains framing the big windows in the living room and when i take a closer look i notice fairy lights hanging up above them.

It's really neat in here.

And it smells really good in here, if i didn't see the big german shepherd sleeping on a dog bed in the corner of the living room I wouldn't think she had one, no fur, no dog smell.

I also noticed the two huge white bookshelf on each side of the tv. She didn't tell me she reads. I smile as i walk to the shelf to get a closer look at the titles. Thankfully the light from the kitchen lights up the area just enough for me to read them, i don't want to wake up Kora with more lights.

From first glance i can see one shelf has a bunch of fantasy covers and the other one is filled with more modern titles.

I start with the fantasy shelf. The first one to catch my eye is a big hard covered book titled LegendBorn and pick it up and read the summary before putting it back.

Damn she doesn't even have dust on them.

Another fantasy book catches my eye on one of the lower shelfs, it looks like a collection. The first one in the line up reading A storm of silver and ash by Marion Blackwood. I read a couple more titles on the fantasy side before I realize I shouldn't be snooping i should be cooking.

So i go back to the kitchen and start going through her cabinets again.

Her kitchen is really nice too, white floor tile, dark grey cabinets, white marble counters, it's pretty.

She has basic ingredients in her upper cabinets, enough to make a couple different things and her fridge is pretty decently stocked too, strawberries, blueberries, eggs, chicken thighs, hot peppers and some other stuff. While deciding what to make I look through her bottom cabinets and i spot a waffle maker. Should i make her waffles?

Yea, I've already been snooping for too long and its quick to make.

So i find a big enough bowl, pull out all the ingredients required to make it from the cabinets, grab the milk, strawberries and eggs from the fridge before going through her drawers trying to find where she keeps her utensils.

Once i find a spoon i begin mixing all the ingredients into the bowl and then i plug in the waffle maker and let it heat up while i slice up the strawberries. I decide to cut up some bananas too for more fruit on her plate. I put some butter in the waffle maker before i begin pouring some of the batter inside.

When i finish the first waffle i battle with myself on how many i should make for her, I usually make three or four for myself but shes not as big as me, so i eventually decide to make two for her. I pour the second waffle in and then i start to hear Record coming down the steps before hearing her call my name.

"Yea-" i begin to say and turn around but my sentence falls short when i look at her, and then being the dumbass i am, i drop the bowl and the rest of the batter falls on the floor and Record jumps from the sound.

"Oh shit I'm sorry." I say and begin grabbing paper towels, trying hard not to look at her as I basically dive to the floor and begin to clean up.

I hear footsteps coming from behind me then records voice. "Oh no I'm sorry,! I must've startled you, here let me help you."
