"Breakfast in bed"
With my alarm going off I jump out of bed. No sign of Madz so he must have got up before me. I can hear sounds coming from the kitchen.
Today, my bakery is finally opening. I wonder how it will go. Madz told me the other night Axel offered to help me run the shop and I'm so thankful for him.
Pulling my phone off the charger I look to see if I have any missed calls or text from my mother. Nothing. I hope she just drops everything and leaves me be.
I'd love to have a relationship with her but she has to be stable first. This harassing me daily has to end. I hear a crashing sound from the kitchen and a mumbled 'Damnit'.
If I wasn't already awake I would be now. Laughing I get up and head to the kitchen. I see Madz running around making breakfast.
It's a disaster but he really is trying his hardest to make today special for me. "Need any help?" Madz turned quickly.
"Shit, I'm sorry I woke you up. I was going to bring you breakfast in bed. I'll clean this all up so you don't have anything to worry about. Go take a shower and I'll bring you this when it's done." Madz goes back to making the food.
I slip in behind him and give him a hug. "Thank you honey." I kiss his back since I can't reach the top of his head and walk off towards the bathroom.
After showering I go and pick out my outfit for the day. A simple pair of jeans and a white tee will do. I'll likely have an apron on all day so there is no point in a special shirt.
I hear a knock on the door and Madz enters with a tray of food. Looks like he's made a bagel, eggs and some turkey bacon. It smells delicious. "This all looks so good."
"Shhh, back to bed you go. You need to relax as much as you can before you go down stairs." I climb back into the big bed he bought me and settle in.
"I made you a little bit of everything. You don't have to eat it all, what you don't finish I will." He sets the tray onto my lap and I dig in.
"Thank you for making this. Did you make a plate?" He nods his head and that's all I get from him.
I finish up what I can and pass the rest off to Madz. "This is all I can manage Madz. I'm stuffed but I don't want to be sick on my first day."
I hear a message come onto my phone and Mad as well. I pull it out of my pocket and see it's a group message from Axel. It has Madz in it as well.
'See you soon Nova. I'm heading your way.' I stand back up and grab some socks. Madz comes over with my favorite Nikes and I slip them on.
He grabs my hand and drags me to the living room. "You sit and I'll clean this up. Brainstorm some baking ideas or something." I try to get up and help but Madz pushes me back down.
