Selfish ~ Trevor Jackson

Take The Hint

After baking some demented and weird looking cookies with Leanni, we inhaled them and wrapped up a few of them for Uncle Sean and Auntie Kat to eat later on. They were chocolate chip cookies with walnuts but had some random pink icing that Leanni wanted on them with monster faces on them. She had such a ball with the cookies that I had to take pics and put them on Instagram as well as send a few to Trevor. In return he sent me a screenshot of her as his background, too cute I know.

Now, I was on the phone with him at something like one in the morning and we were talking about a bunch of nonsense. A weird sense of euphoria washed over me as soon as I answered the phone and I could hear the same sense in his voice.

"So like... The sky..." he said in his sleepy voice.

"Is blue.. But more like a purplish color," I finished shutting my eyes. He started to laugh at me and I just laid curled up in my bed like a cinnamon bun whilst listening to him guffaw. "You laugh a lot, haha,"

"People tell me that a lot," he replied.

"Yeah, that's not normal," I teased.

"But why not laugh when life is beautiful?"

"It's not beautiful all the time,"

"God woke you up this morning, what other or more beautiful do you need?"

"Touché,"

"So what're you making for tomorrow?"

"I thought 'what're' isn't a word,"

"Well I decided it is,"

"Mhmm... Anyway, I'm making curry chicken with white rice and buying some special wine and dessert that I mustn't tell you,"

"Well I'll bring my eating pants then,"

"Haha, that's fine,"

We continued to talk until we fell asleep. He fell asleep much earlier than I and all I could hear was the sound of his soft snoring, and then his soft snoring turning into loud hog calling. Chris had a terrible snoring problem and I hated sleeping with him most of the time, because he was so loud I got no sleep at all. But, Trevor's was steady. Peaceful. And when I could hear his position change, I only grinned and closed my eyes again.

I woke up the next day with my phone laying on the pillow beside me and the sound of Leanni watching cartoons. I picked up my phone and placed it to my ear, crossing my fingers that Trevor was still there.

"Hello?" I said.

"It's about time you woke up," he replied in a sleepy voice.

I smiled, "How long have you been up?"

"Five minutes ago," he laughed.

"And you're acting like I've been sleep for the past hour," I rolled my eyes and climbed out of my bed and headed straight to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my hands.

"What're your plans for today?"

"Probably do laundry and clean up the house... Maybe go grocery shopping. You?"

"Go jogging and head to the studio for a bit,"

"I have to make breakfast, so I'll see you later,"

"Alright, be safe." I hung up and made my way into the kitchen with my phone tucked into my bra. I started to prepare eggs with onions and cheese and some bacon. Leanni maneuvered her way from the living room to the breakfast bar and watched as I began to chop up onions with her head resting on her fist.

"Are you coming with me to the store?" I asked her grabbing some oil out of the pantry. She nodded her head and then I asked her if she was fine staying with Auntie Kat for the night.
