Perfection Doesn't Exist (Under Editing)

Chapter 29

Len's POV:

I woke up this morning due to my alarm going off a billion times. I wanted to throw my phone but I need it. I've got so much important things on it. As I thought more about why my phone went off, I slowly started to mentally cry.

Today was the start of senior year, a new school year, at a new school. I wasn't prepared at all. I don't have my binder and notebooks. Well, all I'll really bring is paper, pencil and a bag to carry any makeup, food and my earphones. I always stress about buying the school supplies but in reality I never use them due to the fact I never buy them. I'm surprised how I've passed school these last few years.

I was currently doing my eye makeup and wondered if Justin was up. The day we went to bowling and the beach was pretty fun. He took me to the pier and it had small carnival rides. I hated the dragon one. It was a ride shaped like a banana. You sit in the ride, 5 rows faced the dragons head and the other 5 faced toward the tail of the dragon. If the tail side dipped up, you're side would be at the bottom, but then your side would dip up when being pulled to high into the air. I hated how it always got higher and higher. Justin just laughed as I held onto his arm, not wanting to see how high the ride got.

Besides that part, it was fun. He won little stuffed animals for me and a poop emoji for himself. (No shock there.) Then we watched the sunset after we dried off from coming out of the water. He wanted to go back into the water when it was pitch black outside but I was scared of any sharks and jellyfish that would be out in the water.

Yesterday we went shopping for food a little and then got some Taco Bell. I can eat 100 of their taco's and never get tired of them. They are my favorite.

After that, we stayed in watching Netflix movies until 2 in the morning. Hint: we forgot about school.

I finished my makeup and put my perfume. I grabbed my bag from my suitcase and put on some chapstick, not wanting to wear any colored lipstick yet. I looked over my outfit in the closet mirror. I was wearing jean shorts with a white over the shoulder shirt. I wore cute white H&M sandals and wore a side braid. I fixed any strands of hair out of place. I decided I was ready and turned off any lights in the room and went to knock on Justin's.

I heard nothing, so I decided to knock again. Nothing. So I put matters into my own hands. I picked the lock and opened the door slowly. I heard light snores and saw Justin still sound asleep. I walked closer examining his face. He looked cute with his messy bed hair. I smiled but remembered I had to be on time at the school campus to get my schedule. I shook Justin until he woke up. He moaned and complained but he was finally up.

"Leeeeennn. Why are you waking me up so early?"

"Did you forget? Today's the first day of school. I kind of need to see my schedule since I'm new. And if you aren't ready in ten, I'm taking one of your cars to school." I stood my ground, laughing a little because I knew I would be dead if I tried to drive his car.

As soon as those words left my mouth, he quickly got up and ran to the bathroom. I'm guessing because he only had his underwear on.

I went downstairs to get a small snack. Almost turning to go into the kitchen, I heard clattering come from there. I stopped in my tracks and slowly creeped against the wall and carefully looked who was inside the kitchen. I saw a lady in what looked like a housemaid dress. A bit more comfortable, I walked in.

"Excuse me?" I asked politely. "Who are you?"

The lady turned around and exposed her face to me. She looked around her late 50's, brown with black hair, caucasian, and a couple wrinkles.

"I'm the housekeeper. I work for Justin. But may I ask, who are you?" She returned the question to me, a bit critical, seeing that I look like a one night stand.

"I'm a friend of Justin's. It's not like that, I promise you. He insisted I sleepover due to some harmful situation I'm in."

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I just thought you were a new girl of Justin's. Last I new he was dating that girl Chantel. That girl was trouble." She shook her head in disapproval. "I must apologize again. I never properly introduced myself. You can call me Cora, short for Secora."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Len, short for Helena." I smiled.

"I have a grandchild named Helena. She's 10 now."

"How cute."

Cora was about to speak again until Justin appeared into the kitchen.

"Cora!" He yelled, followed with him running to her and squeezing her out of breath.

"It's been forever since I last saw you! Next time, I'm sending you out for a two week vacation, not a 2 month vacation."

She squeezed his cheeks and smiled.

"Thank you for that treat. It was so relaxing. I needed that for years."

They hugged once more before turning to me.

"Oh! Cora, I want you to meet-"

"We introduced ourselves already while you were busy being slower than molasses."

I giggled. I like her. She seems sweet.

"Back to the fast paced world now, I made breakfast. Bad news is, I made it only for Justin. Good news is, I made it like a meal for two. So you two can split it."

"But Coraaaa! I haven't eaten your food for weeks! That's not fair!"

"Quit your whining boy before I give Len all of it."

"Yes ma'am."

I am loving this morning already!

I set my bag down and sat down at the island counter. The back of the chairs were cold since it was metal and it was a chilly morning. Justin sat next to me and was acting a bit like a child. I mean after all, it's just food.

Cora set the plates in front of us and it looked and smelled amazing! It was an omelette with slices of hot dog with maybe some spinach and a side of homemade strawberry yogurt with a what looks like blueberry smoothie.

"Cora this looks amazing!" I said astonished.

"Aw, this? This is nothing. It's just breakfast dear. But this is usually Justin breakfast every morning. It's always healthy never fattening. That's how he stays in shape so well. I also send him to go on runs and then he works out in his gym downstairs. What can I say? I keep my children in shape."

"Live with me please?" I begged.

"I wish honey. But I only work for Justin now. I used to work for Tom Cruise, Jennifer Lopez and a couple others but somehow ended up here." She teased.

"Hey! I'm not that bad!" Justin whined.

"You used to be."

"Well I'm a changed man."

"I'll believe it when I see it."

"I'll show you alright."

With that she chuckled and left the room. I hope I get to see her around more. I would want her to be my maid, heck maybe even my mother. At least she'll be better than mine was.
