When you’re around someone for such a short time but you go through so much together you learn all their secrets.
My alarm pulled me out of sleep, but instead of being grumpy I smiled. Last night, had been amazing. I rolled over but there was nobody there, I was alone. Now ash was better and home I could focus on more personal things, like shaving and keeping my eyebrows in check. Shaving was not one of my favourite things, it was pretty boring. By the time I’d finished grooming and showering it was past 10, and the smell of pancakes was seeping up stairs.
I found ash trying to navigate the kitchen with her crutches and a pair of my pajama pants, flipping pancakes and trying to figure out my coffee machine. She had her head phones in and no idea that I was even there, so I sat down and watched her.
Her cluelessness with the coffee machine amused me, having worked in a cafe I knew one inside and out so watching her put a smile on my face.
I stood up and walked over to her, she had no idea I was even there until I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her neck.
“morning gorgeus. What are you doing?”
She wrinkled her eyebrows and frowned. “I was going to make you breakfast to say thankyou for everything but I can’t figure out this stupid machiene” she complained and turned around to hug me back.
“did you sleep well?”
“of course. Thankyou for understanding”
“didn’t anyone ever tell you that you’re amazing ash?”
she smiled and hugged me tighter “never. Only you”
I kissed her lightly one more time “here compromise. I’ll make coffee if you cook?” she agreed and I set out making coffee. I had to laugh “it helps if you use the ON switch..” she pouted and went back to her frying pan.
10 minutes later we were sitting on the back porch, her legs on top of mine.
“.. Short stacks? Very funny”
An hour after that ash was in the shower and I was playing my gutair and working on the song we’d written when my phone started vibrating and carrying on. Not surprisingly it was imogen. I still didn’t want to speak her, so what if I was being rude.
When I didn’t answer she turned up at the door with jumpnow, and I couldn’t tell him to get fucked so they both ended up in my lounge room. Ash and jumpnow disappeared a bit to conveniently which left me alone with no choice but to speak to imogen.
