torn between

six; the belated breakfast

Finally, the weekend.

That was the first thought that came to my mind when I woke up.

I got out of bed and wore my bunny slippers, then realizing I had to take my phone with me, too. To the toilet. Because I needed to shit. Don't ask why. I turned around, and gasped at the sight.

Why the hell is Corey sitting on the chair and sleeping against my bed?

Just then, I remembered what happened last night. Oh, right.

I tilted my head to look at his cute, sleeping face and snorted when I heard his snore. An idea struck me and I quickly went to grab a black marker from my table, then kneeled down beside Corey. I opened the cap, moving my hands closer to his mouth, when his eyes suddenly popped open, giving me the shock of my life.

"Corey! Don't do that!" I shouted at him, slapping him playfully on the back.

He simply smirked and said, "Don't even try to do what you wanted to."

I stuck out my tongue at him and grabbed my phone from the table beside him. "You better get outta here as soon as possible or my parents are gonna come in here and eat you up."

He laughed and got up, stretching. "Alright, if you want me out of your room so fast, then fine!"

I giggled as I stood beside him, watching him open the bay window and crawl out. I was about to turn around when he suddenly called me again. "Rowan!" I turned around immediately, seeing he stuck his head back into the room. "You up for a theme park adventure later? With Sab and Peyton, of course."

"Yes! YES!" I absolutely loved theme parks. I would go there everyday, but I wouldn't want me to tempt myself too much.

"Okay then, I'll text the group chat later," he said, before leaving again.

I smiled to myself, and walked out of my room.

*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

"Morning, mum and dad!" I called out as I walked down the stairs, clean and refreshed, ready for the new day.

"Morning, honey," they both said in unison, and I sat down at the table.

"Wow, pancakes, eggs, milk? All of my faves? What's the occasion?" I asked in curiosity as I picked my fork and knife up and started cutting the pancake into slices.

"Well, we wanted to do this yesterday for your birthday, but you left for filming before we even woke up, so here's your belated birthday breakfast!" Mum said as she hugged me tightly.

I laughed and thanked them, eating up the food quickly. "I'm gonna go to a theme park with Corey, Sabrina and Peyton later! Is that okay?"

"Of course it is! Have fun, darling," Dad finally looked up from his newspapers and reached over to kiss my forehead.

One more to add to the short list of my birthday wishes: to appreciate my parents a whole lot more than I already do and that everything remains the same for... forever.
