My True Loves

Chapter 23

I wake up to Marinette sleeping next to me. I smile and remember that she slept over. I happily get up and get my clothes. I go to take a shower. Once I'm done I get dressed and head back to my room. Marinette was still asleep. I quickly grab my notebook and go to my computer. It's still early so I'll let Marinette rest. I unlock my computer and go to my notes. I grab a pencil and begin to write them down.

After about an hour, I'm done with notes. I look at the time. "It's barely 5:30?" I ask myself. I hum quietly as I put my notebook in my backpack. I look at Marinette. 'I'm such a creep.. actually wait no- she's my girlfriend. Oh yeah. Wait. OH MY GOSH SHES ACTUALLY MY GIRLFRIEND!!' I slowly process this. I shake my head and then continue to get ready for school. I grab Marinette's backpack and organize it; praying she won't mind. I make sure everything is clean and she has everything she needs. I get up and stretch a bit. 'I should go make breakfast.' I think to myself and then walk over to Marinette, kissing her cheek and then walking downstairs. I look around until I find a kitchen.

"Perfect." I say as I grin and look through the fridge and cabinets. I place a pan on the stove and turn the stove on high. I quickly take out some pancake mix and begin to follow the instructions. I start humming one of my favorite songs as I mix the batter. I make sure to stir it till there's no lumps or bumps in the bowl. Once I finish I pour a bit of it in the pan. I get out some bacon while I wait for the pancake to cook. I put the bacon on a plate (?) and put it in the microwave. "Easy way for life." I chuckle to myself and then grab a spatula and carefully flip the pancake. I then continue to wait so I can add more pancakes.

(They're small pancakes btw.)

"Hm, maybe I should put on actual music." I say to myself and then grab my phone and a speaker. I look in my music app and play a random playlist. I hum along to the first song that comes on. I smile as I start to move around; dancing a bit and make more pancakes. I pour more of the mix into the pan again and sing along to the song. I put away everything that isn't needed anymore. I continue to flip the pancakes as I keep dancing. I hear a creak by the stairs and quickly look over. Marinette looks over at me and nervously waves. I chuckle and wave back. "Good morning sleepyhead. How was your sleep?" I ask as she walks towards me and yawns. "Oh it was good. I'm surprised I woke up this early.." She chuckles and sits down at the table. I flip the pancakes before responding. "Well, that's good. Since it's so early and I'm not done with breakfast if you want to go get your stuff ready or get ready yourself for school you can do that!" I smile as I turn down the music. "OH RIGHT- SCHOOL- SHOOT I DIDN'T GET MY CLOTHES-" She gets up quickly and holds her head. "No worries you can always go dig through the walk in closet. It has everything. Just look for something you like." I look at her and grin. She takes a few deep breaths before looking at me. "Okay, thank you. Uhm, where is it though?" she giggles as she asks and looks down to the left. "It's upstairs to the left near the bathroom." I reply and put the pancakes that are done onto a plate. I grab some eggs as Marinette runs up the stairs. I hear a thud and quickly look at the stairs. I see Marinette on the stairs face first. I inhale sharply. "You alright?" I ask. Marinette puts a thumb in the air before getting up and nodding. "Perfectly fine, ahah!" she laughs and rushes up the stairs.

I get another pan and put it on the stove. I grab 4 eggs and crack 2 into the pan. I turn up my music again as I scramble the eggs. I grab some milk, salt, and pepper. I pour some milk in the pan and continue to scramble the eggs. I wait until the milk is gone before added salt and a bit of pepper to the eggs. I smile and make sure the eggs are fully cooked before placing them on a small plate. I put some of the pancakes on the plate as well. I hear a few beeps and look up at the microwave. "Perfect timing!" I chuckle and get the bacon out and place a few on Marinettes' plate. I do the same thing for my plate after I finish making my own eggs. I place the plates on the dining room table and dance back to the kitchen to turn off the speakers. Once I turn them off I hear the water upstairs turn off. "She's done already?" I ask myself. I shake my head and continue to get breakfast ready. I quickly go upstairs and grab my bag. I look around to make sure Marinette isn't here. I let out a sigh of relief when she isn't. I grab my bag and then my diary. I open it and start to write.
