Friends Can Be Saviors

Chapter 3

I washed all the dishes and put them away.
The food was ready, I started the coffeemaker, and then I started to set the table. I had made waffles, chocolate pancakes, scrabble eggs with bacon and cheese, blueberries muffins and banana nut muffins, more bacon , sausage patties and sausage links, toast and biscuits, and a fruit bouquet served in a vase. I took a picture with my phone. Everything was pretty and neat that's rare for me I usually make a millon mistakes.

I hard water runing in one of the bathroom ls meaning Katerine or Ezra was awake. I was putting salt, sugar, syrups, jellys, jams and two pitchers on the table one of orange juice one of milk when.

"Wow did you make all this Tatiana?" Katerina asking coming from the room with her slik pajamas on. She looked bewildered by the sight.

"Yes, I thought you guys maybe hungry" I answered her with a smile. Katerina sat down at the dining table and stared at all the food. I have to say even if she just woke up with a bed head she was still beautiful. She has dark eyes with long eye lashes, her lips are pinkish and her skin is kinda olive it looks like she wear make up but no she all natural.

"Did you really make all this? How did you find the time?" She asked.

"I've been up since like... 4 a.m I couldn't sleep" I said then she looked concerned. "I'm fine" I tried to resure her but she wasn't convinced. Before she could day anything. "Holy Shit" Ezra said surprised. He was in his pajamas and had a bed head also and still looked handsome as always. "You girls went to work" He smiled. "Actually it was all Tatiana I just got up a moments before you" Katerina said smiling at me. "Well you did a wonderful job Tatiana" he smiled at me and I swear the room just got a tad bit brighter. My heart fluttered and I can just feel myself blushing.

I sat down at the table, across from Katerina while Ezra was at the end on my left and Rina's right. We began to eat well... they ate I mostly just pushed my food around for some reason I wasn'tas hungry I don't know if it was my nerves or what.

"Good morning I hope you two slepted well" I said even tho it was kinda late to say 'good morning' I still used it to break the ice.

"I slepted good thank you" Ezra smiled. "You're welcome always" I smiled in return. "I slept great Tatiana how about you?" Katerina said with a smile but she was slightly concerned you could hear it in her voice. I caught on to it and I just know Ezra did too. I didn't want her to worry about me. I didn't want either to worry alot about me they do so much for me already.

I looked Katerina in the eyes and saw worry, then I felted a pling in my heart. I couldn't lie to her.

"I just had a nightmare thats all" I chuckled it off like it was nothing and made like I was embarrassed about it. But I wasn't really embarrassed or shamed, but should I be? Worrying over nightmares is little kids stuff right? And it wasn't exactly nothing since the recurring nightmare thing has me questioning my life and past and who I am.

"What was it about? Hopefully not Emily's picture from yesterday" Ezra asked chuckling. Emily was Erza's bro she was our friend too but she was way more close to Ezra in my opinion they had a awesome bromance? I guess you can call it. Emily calls Ezra her sister or a and I quote "she-male". They have a fun weird friendship thats hard to explain you just have to get to know them to understand. Anyways we all have a group chat on socal media and Emily made her profile a selfie herself but it was photoshopped and her face was just a yellow golden oval with big cycly google eyes it looked CG but realistic enough to stare at you and follow you like creepy paintings from cliché movies. Then there was no nose and it had this small creepy smile. The only thing original and normal was her hair. I told Emily in group that her picture would give me nightmares. But right now that wasn't the case.

I giggled "No it's not that, Surprisingly" I replied Ezra had a way of lighting up the tention in room when he wanted too even Katerina laughed a little.

"Are you sure that all thats bothering you?" She asked me shes so caring it's one of the millon reasons to love her.

"Katerina I'll be fine, now enjoy your breakfast its the most important meal of the day" I smiled.

"You should enjoy it too you worked hard on it you only ate a waffle and all your doing now is pushing fruit around your plate." She told me then took a sip of her juice. I was dumbfounded yet I shouldn't be surprised she doesn't miss a detail when it comes to the ones she love. Note thats another reason to love her.

Ezra had been looking between the two of us. I looked at him and he just sipped his juice like it ain't none of his business. I couldn't keep a straight face, I nearly laughed out loud. I gave him a look like "Really Erza". He looked at me. "What?" He asked. I don't know if couldn't read my facal expression or if he was just acting like he didn't pull a Kermit moment.

"Are you going to say anything? Or... did you want to say something?" I asked feeling shy all of a sudden. Maybe he was just enjoying his drink and I'm being a idiot again.

"Well" He started. "She right you know you should eat and enjoy yourself you earned it" He finished and I looked down and put more food on my plate. "Thank you, thank both of you" I said.

"You don't need to thank us hun" Katerina smiled. After that we just had small talk and crack jokes soon it was time for Ezra to go to the work.

"Do you want coffee before you go?" I asked pouring a to go cup. "Sure" he answered by that time I already had everything ready, I seen him make his coffee a million times. "Thank you Tatiana" he smiled taking a sip. Katerina had been helping me clear the table, and Ezra was on his way out the door.

"Don't destroy my place while I'm gone" Ezra said looking at mostly me. "What you dont trust us?" I giggled since I said that way to innocently. "I trust Katerina no telling what you will do I might come back to a buffet of food for 10 people and maybe edible flowers everywhere" He teased me since there was alot of food left over from breakfast and flower shaped fruits.

"Yeah I kinda over did it a little" I blushed I knew I was going to make a big mistake somewhere. I made too much of everything I guess I'm use to cooking for big eaters or something but it better to have too much then nit enough right?

"Everything will be fine Ezra we're just going to have a girls day" Katerina said as she wrapped her arm around me. I blushed I dont know why.

"Oh I see you're both going to have fun without me?" Ezra teased us both we knew exactly what he meant by "fun". I blushed more I wasn't even thinking about that. What if he wasn't teasing us? What if he was serious and think we don't want him around? What if he thinks we don't love him?

"Tatiana, I'm just teasing you're looking a little red" He said. I looked down as he laughed I was over thinking things again. Katerina giggled "You should have seen the look on your face." I couldn't help be to laugh at myself.

Our laugher soon died down and with two hugs and two kisses from Katerina and I Ezra was off to work. Leaving the us with the house to our selves.
