Shirts and Skins

Chapter Thirty-Three

Lindsay's POV

I woke up the next morning and quietly slipped out of bed, trying to not wake Jeff. It was quite early, so I decided to watch some SportsCenter. I liked doing that. It was a good way to start my mornings. I flipped through the channels until I found it. It really wasn't as good without Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole, but still, I liked it.

About 20 minutes later, I heard footsteps drag across the floor. I turned around and saw Brandon make his way into the TV room in plaid pajama pants and no shirt.

"Good morning Brandon." I smiled.

He smiled at me. "Morning."

"Are you hungry?" I asked.

He nodded.

"Since you're first up, it's your choice as to what we have. What do you want?"

He sat down on the couch beside me and thought for a moment.

"Hmmm....I haven't had French Toast since I lived at home."

"Then French Toast it is!" I jumped up off the couch and walked into the kitchen.

I pulled open the cupboard and found sliced bread and cinnamon, and found eggs in the refrigerator. I set everything up, then began cooking. Like usual, the smell of food brought the other guys from their sleep and down to the kitchen.

As I was serving Brandon, I heard feet shuffling across the floor outside the kitchen door.

"Lindsay, just move in already!" I heard Justin call to me. "I need you to cook for us every morning."

I laughed. "I wish I could Justin, but we all know why I'm stuck in Winnipeg."

I grabbed a plate and served him a couple slices of French Toast. He doved into the food and groaned.

"Lindsay, these are so delicious! How can you cook like this every day for us if you're not here?"

"Justin," I sighed, "Please, you're making me feel worse. You know how bad I want to be here."

He nodded. "Yeah, I know. It just sucks that you're so far away."

"But, I do try and visit as often as possible." I smiled.

"We appreciate it too." Brandon said.

At this point, Jiri and Jeff walked in the room.

"Good morning guys." I welcomed them from the stove.

"Good morning Babe." Jeff came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

I turned around and kissed him. "Good morning. Are you hungry?"

"Pretty hungry." he smiled. "I should probably eat before practice anyways."

"Yes you should, you all should." I said as I placed a few slices onto a plate and handed it to Jiri, who was sitting patiently at the island. Jeff sat down beside him and I handed him a plate as well.

I grabbed a plate and I sat down beside Jeff. I told the guys to just leave their plates and I'd take care of all of it once they had gone to practice. As much as Jeff and I wanted to spend time together, we had the entire afternoon to spend together, plus tomorrow and the two days following, so I could spend some time here while they went to practice.

Once the guys left for practice, I cleaned up the dishes from breakfast, then did a little cleaning around the house. Not that much needed doing, but still felt it was necessary because I was staying there.

Afterwards, I decided to work out in their home gym. It was awesome. There was a treadmill, a bike, free weights and a bunch of other really cool stuff. I was only going to work out for like, an hour or so, but I ended up just getting so into it that it surprised me to see the guys walk in the door of the room. I didn't notice them at first because I had my music going, so I jumped a bit when I saw four guys watching me rock out and work out. They laughed about it.
