Shall I Have This Dance?

Groaning and lifting his head off the pillow, Becker's stomach grumbled. He slowly opened his eyes and his hair was a mess. He yawned, smelling the distinct smell of pancakes. He smiled, still trying to wake up, and he rubbed his face. He got out of the bed and made his side of the bed, seeing Isabella had already made her side of the bed. He looked at her fluffy, soft throw pillows and he smiled once. He then yawned and rubbed his face again, doing his morning duties before going into the kitchen.

Isabella danced to some music. She was making pancakes, eggs, and sausage. She was in an oversized band t-shirt, The Beatles, and mint green panties. She hummed along with the song and flipped the pancake. It was in the shape of Mickey Mouse.

Becker dried off his hands after using the restroom and he walked into the kitchen. Isabella looked over her shoulder and smiled. "Good morning, mister sleepy bear!" she said with a grin on her face. She had a plate of eggs over easy, two sausage patties, and two mickey mouse pancakes for him. "Eat up, Beck!" she chimed. She winked and then made her own food.

Becker smiled cutely at her and began eating his food. He checked his phone. 20+ missed calls. 30+ texts. All from Julie. He almost choked on his food and he coughed a little.

"You okay, Becker?" Isabella asked. She sat across from him and began eating her food.

Becker looked at her and nodded. "Yes ma'am," he replied. "I'm sorry. Julie's been bugging me..."

Isabella smiled. "Remember what I said last night, sweetheart? I promise you. I will get you out of that relationship and I'll help you all I can."

Becker looked her in the eye and he smiled. "Thank you," he said. "This is exceptional food. I really appreciate it."

Isabella giggled. "Thank you!" she squeaked. "My parents used to make me Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes all the time."

Becker smiled and finished up his food. He got up from his seat and he went to wash his plate off. As he listened to the music, one of his favorite songs from the 50s came on. Sh-Boom by The Chords.

Isabella gasped as she came over to wash her plate and she grinned. "Oh! I love this song!" she said. "Will you dance with me?" she asked, gently taking his hands in hers. She moved to the rhythm with him. Becker twirled her around and his heart fluttered with joy.

He could get used to this. Honestly, he knew he'd enjoy it every single morning. He danced with her and sang with her a little. Once the song ended, Isabella giggled again. "That was fun!" she chimed. Becker grinned. "That was! I loved that!" he said. "Well, I'm gonna go get dressed. Or at least put on some pants." He smirked and went back into the bedroom, grabbing his clothes. He put them on in the bathroom and then came back out.

Isabella had changed into a bright blue, polka dot, A-Line style dress. She adjusted the halter neck of her dress and smoothed out the rib area a little with her hands. She looked over at Becker and smiled. "Hey," she said. "Ready to conquer the day?"

Becker smiled. "Yes ma'am," he replied.

"Good! Cause I have the day off today and I want to hang out with you all day if you're free!"

Becker's heart fluttered again. "I'd love that," he said. "But I'd love to go home and change clothes first, please."

"Okay! You can go change and I'll clean up a little bit! I still have to fix my hair," she said,  snickering.

Becker smirked. He got his backpack and then went over to her. He kissed her cheek and winked. "Be back in an hour," he said. Isabella blushed and smiled again. "Okay," she said. "See you soon!" He made sure he had everything he needed and then he left her apartment to go home to change. For a moment, he had totally forgotten that Julie had even called or texted him.
