8. The Arrival

I woke up the next morning and directly got up out of bed. I immediately put my clothes on, which was a black hoodie with a white t-shirt layered on it, green cargo pants, and my black converses.

I turned around to see Ivan still sleeping and couldn't help but smile. My dream came true. I'm dating him.

I ran downstairs and decided to make some pancakes. I was the only one awake.

As I was mixing the different ingredients for the batter, I felt two arms slithering around my waist. I started to blush, but of course, not in the same way as before we dated.

"Good morning, love."

Now that was something new to me. It gave me butterflies.

"Good morning." I said before I gave him a little kiss on the lips.

"What are you making?" He didn't let me go at all. I didn't mind though.

"Pancakes."

"Make some extra for your boyfriend. I'm hungry." He whispered in my ear. Boyfriend. Some part of me still couldn't process it. Last night was really good. Not only because of prom... The images suddenly came back in my mind, causing me to zone out. Ivan's small kiss in my neck snapped me out of it.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Last night." That accidentally came out.

"You want me to spoil you again?" He asked as I poured the pancake batter onto the pan. That flustered me. Before I could answer, he continued.

"I can't spoil you everyday, love."

The more he says that, the weaker my knees get.

"Anyways, I'm going to sit down already." He said, then taking his usual place next to my seat.

A few minutes later, most of the pancakes were finished. I put them all on a plate for the other people to grab when they came.

Me and Ivan were eating our pancakes and talking about random things, and suddenly Jace sat himself down across from us.

"Good morning."

"Oh, hey dude." I spoke.

"What were you guys talking about?"

"Random shit." Ivan spoke up.

Through the whole breakfast, Ivan and I shot sneaky glances at eachother.

"Bro, why are you looking at Andreas like that." Jace suddenly asked his brother. "Did you tell him you like him?"

"Dude." Ivan said. I just laughed.

"Yes, he did." I answered. So far for keeping it secret. "Don't tell anyone else we're dating yet though."

He gasped.
"You're dating too?! So, you liked him back?"

"Please, I liked him longer than he liked me."

"Yeah. Ivan mentioned his first feelings for you around nine months ago."

Terra came to the table a few seconds after the conversation finished.

I went back to my room to brush my teeth and so did Ivan.

Right after, I remembered it was cleanup day. Shit.

I quickly grabbed my bag. I haven't had the time of unpacking yet because Mr. Collins wanted to treat me on a kiss. Suddenly another image of last night appeared in my head, again zoning out for a few seconds.

"Love, why are you hurrying?"

"It's cleanup day today."

"Fuck."
He grabbed his bags as fast as me, and together we headed out. I put one of my earbuds into Ivan's ear and placed a kiss on his cheek.
