Austin's POV:

Our parents decided to give us a challenge. The sad news is that it's almost over. I liked spending time only with Ally. It's not like I don't do it when we are at university. After all, we live alone there. I don't know what our parents expected to happen, but I think that we did well. Except for the day when we argued. Luckily, everything between us is great. Since then, we haven't argued about anything. I know that Ally was right, but I wanted to lay down in bed with her for a little longer. Well, I can do this without spending money. I hope that when this becomes our everyday life, we won't argue about such things. I don't like it, and neither does she. I think that with time, we'll learn many things. Now, we are still kids or at least not proper adults. Maybe mom and dad wanted to teach me a lesson. I haven't done anything bad, but only they know. It's not like I mind. I never thought of this, but after university, we need a place to live. We still have enough time, but what we don't have is money. Well, we can start working. Adults do this all the time. I won't think about that now. I started university, so for now, I will focus on my lessons. Moreover, artists make a lot of money, so I think that we'll be good.

I woke up and checked to see if Ally was sleeping. Today is the last day of the challenge. I can't believe that one week has passed. It's like yesterday when it started. I want to make breakfast. The problem is that I can't cook at all. Well, I will do something simple. If things go in the wrong direction, I will wake up Ally. Let's hope that this won't happen. I was thinking about both of us making dinner for our parents. At least we can show them that living together is not that bad. We have some money, but our fridge is full of food, so we might not use it.

I found on the Internet a recipe for eggs. I hope that it will be easy. Usually, this is the easiest food, but for a person with zero experience, it'll be hard. I took all the ingredients which I would need and started cooking. I planned to eat breakfast with Ally in bed. Well, if she doesn't wake up before that. I'll try to be quiet. It turned out that it was not that bad. Somehow, I managed to finish the breakfast and it didn't look terrible. Let's hope that it will taste good.

I put the food on a tray and walked to my room. Ally was still sleeping. I would gladly leave her, but the food will get cold. I put it on the nightstand by her side of the bed and laid it down next to her. I kissed the top of her head and started playing with her hair. Soon she woke up and looked at me with a smile on her face.

- Something smells good.

- Turn around and you will see it.

- Did you order food?

- No. I made it. I'm not sure how it will taste, but I hope that you will like it.

- You didn't have to do it but thank you. I appreciate it.

- After all, I wanted us to have breakfast in bed.

- Then where is your breakfast?

- Sharing is caring. - I said, and she laughed

- I would love to share my breakfast with you. - she said and kissed me

We started eating and I have to say that the food was not bad at all. Maybe I can cook, but since I have never tried, I think that I can't. I ate some of the food and left everything else to Ally. She was hungrier than me. Moreover, she is cooking all the time and I am eating, so today I decided to do her a favor. It's not like I will do this all the time, but once in a while is not bad.

- I have to say that you did great. The food is delicious.

- I'm glad that you like it. I did my best.

- And it was amazing. I think that you deserve a treat.

- I won't deny it.

This is how it started. When we finished, Ally went to get dressed. I don't mind her staying in her PJs all day, but I don't think that she will do it. She wanted us to go for a walk, so we went to a park. I still think that we have to make dinner for our parents. I'm not sure that it will be the best which they have ever eaten, but it's better than nothing.
