"Being with you is my favorite place to be"

Nora

I woke up the next morning to an empty bed. Last night was amazing. It was perfect. But then it hit me... Danielle. Oh my god. No. I never meant for him to cheat on her.

I quickly got up, wore the sweatshirt, and went to the bathroom to freshen up. I went downstairs to see him making waffles. Well putting store bought in the toaster.

He turned to look at me with a smile. "Good morning."

"Morning."

"What's wrong?"            

  "It was a mistake."

"What was a mistake?"

"Last night."

"What are you talking about?"

"Us last night."

"Nora-"

"No I- I didn't mean for you to cheat on her like that."

"Nora listen-"

"Orion, I'm serious. Take me back."

"Take you back where? You know you can't-"

"-go home, yes I know. Take me back to Ace's place."

"No. Fuck no."

"Ori-"

"Shut up and listen to me. I didn't cheat on Danielle. She and I broke up a while ago."

"What? Why? How? I thought you loved her."

"I did- I do. But some things just end Nora."

"So you didn't cheat."

"No I didn't."

"Okay."

"So... was it still a mistake?" He smirked.

I smiled. "No."

"Good."

He pulled me to him and kissed me so passionately. He picked me up and placed me on the counter.

"How do you feel?" He asked, snuggled in my neck.

"Good."

"How good?"

"Very good."

"Good. Let's eat breakfast."

"I'd much rather-"

I was interrupted by the door bell. Orion went to open the door. I turn around to see Ace walking in the kitchen.

I get myself down from the counter. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"I don't answer to you"

"Well-"

"Don't start you two." Orion rolled his eyes.

"He started it." "She started it." We said it together.

"God you guys are like children."

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"It doesn't concern you." He answered, rudely.

"No but why are you here?" Orion finally asked.

"We have shipment coming in tonight. And I need you to handle it."

I rolled my eyes and walked to the toaster. The waffles are burned by now. I opened the toaster to check them. Oh good they're not burned. I took them out on a plate. I can still hear the conversation they're having.
