Things they didn't know.

Chapter 22

Michael's POV

I woke up early this morning. I wanted to do something nice for Lexi. I mean after all she is my fiancé.

When we got home last night from out day out, Lexi and I went straight to bed because we were tired. We cuddled for a while but then she fell asleep in my arms. Her short hair sprawled all over the pillow since she had laid her head on my chest. She was wearing my Ozzy Osborne shirt with a pair of her favourite Calvin Klein underwear that I bought her. She looked like a queen. Well my queen. I thought to myself.

I smiled at the thought of last night. It then came across my mind that i hadn't done anything special for her since my proposal.

I carefully got out of bed so i didn't wake my sleeping beauty. I stepped down the stairs as quiet as possible so i didn't wake anyone else. I then headed over to the kitchen.

I was never good in the kitchen but for Lexi i will try. I got out the pancake mix and some fruit. I followed all the instructions down to the point. Let's just say i was trying to get this to be perfect. I turned away to look at the next instruction when a beeping went off and someone came crashing down the stairs.

"Michael what the fuck are you doing", Luke asks.

"Making Lexi breakfast in bed. Duh. I think something screwed up though.", i reply, making an uneasy face.

"Let me help", he says walking over. He had always been good. I guess being a momma's boy paid off finally paid off.

"I'm gonna make it in a love heart shape for you", he says starting to shape it.

"Damn Luke maybe you are gay", i nudge his shoulder as he glares in my direction.

"I'm just kidding Luke. You are my best friend. You know i support you.", i say with a small smile.

"I know. Just some others in my life weren't so supportive", he says shutting down the conversation with this topic.

"well let's not talk about those people. right now what i'm worried about is Lexi getting up soon because she is an insomniac and tends to wake up early and go to bed late" i say frantically. He looks at me like I'm crazy.

"You know her sleep patterns? Oh my god you're whipped, man.", he says laughing.

"Well i mean she is my fiancé and i did get up at 6 am for her. And you know i never get up before 12.", i say with a huge smile.

About 1 hour later and everything was done. Luke had finished up the pancakes whilst i got everything else.

Luke had put the plate with the pancakes on the carrying tray. I took last minute perfections to add little slices of strawberries that outlined the heart. I then took slices of kiwi and put them in the middle like another heart. (a/n: does that make sense?) I poured some orange juice in a small glass and put it all on the tray.

The whole way Luke followed behind me to make sure i wouldn't trip. I finally got up and he headed back to his room. I opened the door carefully and stepped in. Thank god she was still asleep.

I set the tray down on the floor and tip toed over to our shared bed.

"Babe wakey wakey", i say as i gently shook her. She groaned then turned the other way.

"Baby please. I will dump this water on you", i say grabbing the cup full of water that was on my bedside table. She shot up looking worried.

"Woah Clifford. no need to be threatening people here", she says groggily.

"Well sorry. i have been up since 6", i say walking to get her food. I turned around to see her with a confused look as she look at all the food.

"Is it some sort of holiday?", she says confused with what i think was fear in her voice.
