–Kiara–
I woke up the next morning in the smell of bacon and egg. I automatically got up from my bed still disoriented about what's happening around me. I turned around to face my full-length mirror and memories of last night came rushing to me. And I'm still wearing my cursed prom gown.
'He kissed me' I touched my lips, savoring the memory of Nathan's lips on mine.
"Stacy..." His voiced echoed my brain saying 'that' name. I sighed then shook my head blocking all the unnecessary thoughts and got inside my bathroom.
After I spent a good 15 minutes or so under the shower, I decided to go out and get myself something to eat. I just wore an oversize shirt and paired it with a walking shorts.
Upon opening my bedroom door, I was welcomed again with the smell of bacon and egg but this time I can also smell pancakes. My stomach automatically grumbled and at the same time my feet made its way to the kitchen.
The sweet smell of breakfast embraced me as I entered the kitchen, but what got my attention is the person making them right now.
As if he felt my presence, he turned around and smiled at me which made my jaw drop. He is holding a plate of pancakes with strawberry syrup on top, my favorite.
He walked towards the kitchen island and placed the plate of pancakes, he still has 'this' smile on his face while my eyes are still ogling. I blinked a couple of times to see whether this is a part of my imagination or if it is a dream but he's still there standing in front of me , still smiling like an idiot. 'WTF?'
"Hey, are you just gonna stand there or what?" He finally broke the silence. I took the chair near me so we are opposite each other. I was about to ask him what this is all about when he spoke.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I invaded your kitchen. I just want to make it up to you for what happened these past few days," He started while looking at me straight in the eyes. I did not say anything, signalling him to continue.
"I woke up on your couch early this morning and realized how fvcked up our lives are right now. I also realized how much of an asshole I've been lately. I'm so sorry Pumpkin." He said those words without breaking eye contact and I can even feel how sorry he is, maybe?
I sighed, I was the one who break the contact first. I just can't believe that the monster last night was the same person as this one in front of me.
"K-kiara? Can you still forgive me?" His voice pleading but I refuse to look at him.
I just can't answer that. I know deep inside, I can forgive him even if he don't ask for forgiveness, even if he's not sorry at all. But I can't think straight right now.
My stomach grumbled. I realized I wasn't able to eat anything since prom last night and smelling these treats in front of me is enough for my mind not to think of anything else. My stomach complained again when I saw a plate of bacon, sunny-side-up eggs and garden salad, all of which are my favorite.
I swallowed hard while restraining myself from devouring the food in front of me and gathered all my strength to look at Nathan. I was about to open my mouth when my stomach roared. I automatically put my hands on my belly but it just keeps on making noise. Ugh!
I heard Nathan chuckled and I felt my face heat up from the embarrassment and as if the joke is really on me, his chuckle turned into a hearty laugh. A genuine one.
I watched him as he laughed so hard. It felt like a million years since the last time I heard it and it makes me so happy. I smiled, ignoring everything and fill my plate with the good food.
