Twenty

Content warning - This one is lighthearted ! It just consists of all of twylas 'rules' for her to follow , so yeah : )

Twyla 

"Ugh ," I groan as I wake from the most peaceful sleep I have ever had. The bed I'm laying in is squishy in all of the right places , warm , it smells good , and I feel so.. safe.

I open my eyes to the beautifully , but minimally decorated guest bedroom.

Carson mayyy have tucked me in last night...

But she also gave me some comfortable clothes to sleep in. It was nice , the clothes were very obviously hers , and they smelled like her.

I sit up in the comfy bed , stretch my body , and grab my phone off the nightstand. I woke up considerably early , considering I didn't fall asleep until almost 3 a.m.

It's only 8 a.m. , so I decide I'm going to wake up a bit and make the woman a small breakfast as a 'thank you'.

After quietly tip-toeing to and from the bathroom , I grab my phone and head downstairs , past the 4 other doors , calling for my attention.

I make my way down the stairs and begin to raid their fridge. I find a carton of eggs and some bacon and get out the proper tools to begin cooking.

I'm confident in cooking about five different things , simple bacon and eggs are one of them.

I am quickly bored from the silence , so I decide to turn on a little bit of music. Deciding quickly on a Melanie Martinez playlist !

I quickly fry up my bacon and make my eggs , finding it almost natural moving around their kitchen.

I'm instantly surprised and jump about 3 feet in the air when I hear a laugh from behind me.

And at the worst time , too. I was getting into the music and totally dancing along...

"Wow , Twy." June says with a smile on her face. "Nice moves."

I put my hand over my heart in an attempt to soothe myself , she almost gave me a heart attack.

"Sorry ," she says softly , a small sniffle coming from her. "I didn't mean to scare you , lovebug." My eyes instantly shoot up at her.

I notice how puffy and swollen her eyes and face are. Her eyes are very red and glossy , but not from the weed. She honestly looks like she was crying.

"No , no. Its okay." I say with a sweet smile , doing my best to tell her it's okay. "I was jamming , I'll admit." I say with a small laugh.

"Well , you were killing it." She says with a tired smile as she makes her way to sit at the island.

"Thank you." I say with a smile , a blush creeping on my face. "I made coffee , and I'm in the process of making you guys breakfast , would you like some ?" I ask her , looking over my shoulder. I can see a small smile growing on her lips.

"Sure , lovebug." She says , her voice cracking in the process. I didn't want to point it out , but I couldn't help myself. She didn't look okay , and now she didn't sound okay.

"Hey , uh.." I say as I reach up in the glass cabinet and grab her out a mug for her. "Are you okay ?" I ask as I finally grab the cup.

I begin to pour her coffee , and she stands to get something out of the fridge. When the door opens , I look over at her , but her face is hidden by the door.

"Ugh ," she sighs , "it was a long night , sweetheart." She says weakly. I nod , understanding.

"Uh.." I didn't want to embarrass her , but I wanted to let her know that I was aware about what happened after Carson went in there. "I..I k-kinda know.." I say quietly.
