Short Stories: Starting the Day with Taylor Caniff

Starting the Day with Taylor Caniff:

"Good morning sweetheart." I hear as my dream starts to intertwine with reality. "Kenny..... Wake up......"Taylor whispers as he starts to shake me out of my dream state. "Kendra!!!"
"Ugggg!" I moan at his violent waking strategy.
"Come on baby girl, it's time to get up. You're going to be late for work."
"Fine." I say, putting my best grumpy face on, trying to hide a smirk as I realize he hasn't put a shirt on yet. 
"Let's go eat some breakfast." Taylor suggests as I start walk toward our bedroom door.
He steps up behind me and slips his smooth, warm hand into mine as we head down the long hall of our apartment to the kitchen. Taylor gathers both mine and his usual orders: mine, cheerios in milk and a banana and his, fruity pebbles in strawberry milk. I don't understand how he eats that crap but he does it every morning so he must really enjoy it. As he hands me my breakfast his says, "Here you go lovely lady" and gives me a light peck on the cheek.
We sit and enjoy our 'gourmet' meals as we share our terrifying and funny dreams. Taylor intrigues me with a dream about a vine he was thinking about making with me. We laugh and chat some more about what we plan to accomplish today. We continue to chat as he gathers our now empty cereal bowls.
"Okay Kenny, we should probably start to get ready."                                                                                                    I agree with Taylor and get up, heading back to our bedroom. He once again slips his hand into mine and we walk with our fingers interlocked. When we get into our room he lets me take the bathroom first. So, I open the little closet next to the porcelain sink, grab my makeup and start applying concealer. But in the mirror, behind my horrific reflection, I see Taylor pull on a pair of rugged, slightly ripped jeans, a neon pink tank top that says 1-800-HOTLINEBLING in pristine, white letters, and a bleach-white bandanna. While I watch this, I realize my day has finally begun.
