Worlds Apart

Chapter 19

I get up before Nixon dose so  let him sleep. That's weird, Nixon usually gets up before me, but as things have gone this week it wouldn't surprise me.I think to myself. I quietly go down stairs to get a pen and paper then go back up stairs and into my room. I turn on the lamp and write Nixon a note.

Good morning! :) if you need me I will be down stairs fixing breakfast after I feed the horses.

-Kate 5:30am :)

I then quietly go into Nixon's room and put the note on the night stand by his bed. then I go back into my room, put on my pink fuzzy slippers,thick red coat and go out the door to feed the horses. When I arrive the horses are already up, I feed them and then go back home. I look at the clock. 6:30am. Nixon's still asleep. I think to my self. Not time for breakfast yet, so what now? I ask myself so I decide to sit down on the couch and watch a little TV. My favorite show, Game Of Thrones, is on so I decide to watch a little of that. At 7:00 I get up to go fix breakfast but I keep the TV on because I must know what happens. I finish cooking and start to set the table when Nixon finally comes down the stairs,dressed and ready to go. "Finally I didn't think you were ever going to get up!" I say. We both smile, and Nixon helps me set the table. We sit down and eat.  In my peripheral vision I notice Nixon staring at me, but I don't acknowledge him I am to caught up in the drama of the show at the time. "Watch ya watching?" He asks. "Season two episode 4 of Game Of Thrones, why?" I ask never taking my eyes off the screen. "How do you know the exact episode and season?" He asks. "Are you kidding me I watch this show all the time, i'v seen almost all of the episodes." I say then comes a commercial and I decide to look at him. "So whats it about?" He asks. "Oh, you've never seen it before?" I ask. He shakes his head. "Well we've gotta fix that! on a day that were not doing anything that's what were gonna do, remind me later and i'll go and dig the DVDs out of the closet" I say. "Ok" He says. I take our plates to the sink and begin to wash them when Nixon shows up behind me. "No i'll do it, you've done enough this morning." He says. "Ok fine" I say. I choose not to argue because he's just as stubborn as I am so instead I go back to the couch and finish watching the rest of the episode. Then Nixon comes and sits next to me. "Alright so whats happening , and who's who" He asks. I tell him everything he's missed in this episode up to now. "Ok, but I still don't get it" He says. "Well that's because you have to watch from beginning to end." I say as I get up and start to go up the stairs. "Hey were are going?" He asks. "Well i'm going to get dressed because i'm tired of siting around in my pajamas and i'm also going to find those episodes!" I call from the top of the stairs "Oh...ok!" He calls back. I chuckle and shake my head as I go to my closest. "Ah right were I put you!" I say as I pick up the DVDs and and carry them down the stairs and set them on the coffee table in front of the couch and sort out the seasons in order. "There!, now when I get back we can get started because were gonna be here a while!" I say as i put the first disc in the player then I go back up the stairs to get dressed. After I shower i put on the basics then a simple long sleeve aqua blue v-neck shirt and a pair of blue jeans then a fresh pair of socks and I put my slippers back on and go down the stairs. I then sit down and get back up "Oh I forgot the blankets." I say but Nixon stands up and gently pushes me back down. "No, you sit here, i'll get it." He says. "Ok" I say as I look for the remote control for the DVD player. I start to get up and again Nixon dose the same thing as he hands my the controller. "Thanks" I say. "My pleasure." He says then he turns and goes up the stairs. He comes back with two soft blankets, He puts one around me and we both bundle together in the other one. "Thank you Nix" I say. "Well you deserve a lazy day, you've been through probably what I can't even imagine over the past two weeks so you deserve this" He says. "No,really thank you" I say. He looks into my eyes as I look into his, we both start to lean forward towards each other are lips are almost touching when I open my eyes, turn away, look down and clear my throat. "Um ok lets get started we've got a lot of episodes to watch" I say as I click the button for it begin. Nixon looks down clearly hurt but I don't pay attention.
