Azure: The Retired Assassin

Azure 44

I force myself to wake up and tidy my bed before moving to the shower with my eyes still half close. I only sleep for like 3 hours I think. I remembered in my sluggish state how Cole carried me upstairs to my room when I kind of fell asleep. After I fixed myself I proceeded to the kitchen, it's still quiet hence it is still six in the morning I know their tired.

Americans don't usually eat rice in the morning but when I moved in with mom and Jairus I somehow find myself eating rice during breakfast so I decided to cook something oriental with western dish on the side. The moment I started cooking I get lost in my own world. I love to cook and I was thinking of pursing what I love after I graduated from high school. Maybe I'll go to Paris become a patisserie or travel around the world for a different mission this time rather killing. When I removed my apron everything was all served in the dining table. I managed to cook some French toast, egg roll, rice wrapped in bacon and cheese and pancakes. And of course coffee for Dad, Jairus, Papa and me whilst I also prepare orange juice for mom and Cole. He's a juice man but he sometimes swing to coffee. I know Jiro will get up late today so I did not prepare his milk.

"I'll never get tired of waking into this." There's no surprise why I did not felt he's presence. If there's anyone in the legion who is best in stealth mode, it would be dad.

"Morning dad." I leaned up and kiss his cheeks.

"Morning A. I already felt like drooling." He kidded before he took a seat.

Then a heard footsteps coming to the dining area before mom and papa emerged together. "Morning mom, papa."

"Morning baby." Mom moved to hug me and I eagerly snuggled close to her. Papa pat my head and said good morning too.

"Good morning Mr. Page." I grin at dad when papa sounded so formal.

"Oh c'mon Franco just call me Collin."

"Right, Collin." Papa shifted in his seat awkwardly, er.. I think I need to break the silence but someone already did it before I can.

"Tell me you cook this A!" Cole is still in his bed hair but anyways he was always like that. He doesn't really care much about how he looks.

"I did."

"Shit! I missed you A but I miss your cooking more." I scowled at him feigning my anger. But boy he just ignores me and took his seat beside dad.

"Good morning to you too Cole." I said sarcastically and settled myself on one of the vacant chair.

His eyes wander around the table and his eyes widen as he saw my mom. "Ah..morning." He then said with a tint of pink visible on his cheeks which earned a smirked from me when his eyes meet mine.

"Morning." We saw Jairus walking towards the table while rubbing his eyes. He was still wearing his boxers and plain white shirt his hair sticking to every directions. He occupy the seat beside me after we greeted him back and lazy fill his plate with food. "You cook these?" He asked after one bite.
