I Am Yours

Chapter 7 : Pancakes

Matteo
I blink my tired eyes open and stretch my arms out. I look around me and realise that me and Aria were cuddling the whole night.

She's too young

I shake my head and groan slightly as i get up and out of bed, making sure not to wake her up.

What the fuck was I thinking

I need to make sure I never do that again. I don't have time for shit like this and she's better off without someone like me.

I should be focusing on what's more important.

I enter the toilet and shut the door behind me locking it and pull my eyes to the mirror.

My hair was messed up, sticking out in different directions. My eyes were red and tired from barely sleeping last night.

I use the bathroom and take my clothes from the wardrobe to change.

I wear my usual suit and tie and get ready for work. I knew today was gonna be a busy day.

She's only here because she has nowhere else to go.

I stare at her lying on the bed. Relaxed face, tanned skin and her hair all tangled.

I sigh and pick a pen and piece of paper and quickly write down a note for her to see when she wakes up.

I look at the clock in the corner and see it reads 7:00am. I turn around and leave the room, not ready for what was going to come next.

Aria
I wake up to crashing down onto the hard floor and start rubbing my forehead as pain shoots through it.

One way to start the day

I stare at the clock across the room to see it reading 9:00am.

Slowly, as I start to look around the room I realise i'm alone and that Matteo is probably already gone to whatever job he works for.

It must be high paying if this is what he owns.

I get up and pull the duvet back onto the bed and neaten it up as he did let me use his bed-

Oh shit

Were we cuddling the whole night?

I groan and fall face first onto the floor and thats when I feel a piece of paper.

I curse myself as to why i'm so clumsy and missed the bed from half a mile and unfold the paper.

It read -  Aria

I'm out for work and today will be busy, don't expect me to be home early and use this place like it is your own home.

There was something else written there but it was scribbled out and was just signed off instead with -Matteo

I just shake my head and dont think much of it.

I exit the room and make sure to shut the door behind me. I enter my own room to see it cleaned and I guess he found some people to clean up all the mess Ella made.

Speaking of that bruja (witch) she's stupid if she thinks she's getting away with the shit she pulled.

I think to plan later and get dressed into a white flowy dress that goes down mid thigh and a pair of flats and pin my hair to the sides making sure to leave two bits out at the front.

(something like this)

I walk down and into the kitchen to see bruja already making some food for herself.

She turns around and eyes me.

"Oh- i'm sorry i forgot you were still here, thought you would of left by now." She gives me a fake smile and speaks with a overly sweet tone.

She plates up her fried egg and toast and purposely bumps into me while on the way out.

That mother-

Whatever.

I start making pancakes for myself because I decided I needed to treat myself once in a while.

As I was halfway through pouring in the batter for my second pancake an idea pops in mind.

What if.....

I smile to myself and make 4 pancakes instead of just 2.

I plate up the two extra pancakes and walk out to see Ella sat at the table with an empty plate infront of her.

I put on my acting voice on and walk up to her. Setting the dish infront of her and murmur "I'm sorry, I want to start afresh so I made you these pancakes."

I look up and smile my sweet smile, staring dead straight into her eyes.

Surprisingly she accepts the food but doesn't say anything about my apology.

I walk back into the kitchen but pause right after and quickly hide peering through the doorway which had a perfect view of the dining table.

I watch her intently and she brings a piece of pancake to her mouth, smells it and finally eats it.

After chewing she immediately spits it out and starts coughing profusely.

I cackle to myself and quickly hide the packet of salt i dumped into the batter after making my pancakes and take my food and syrup to my room, locking the door to make sure I dont get interrupted by the bruja.

Now this is how the day should start.

I smile as I start munching on my sweet pancakes.
