A Long Way Home

Chapter Nine

                                  

                                Javen's POV

     The blaring sound of my phone's alarm woke me up at 9:00am. I lifted up yawning and blinked a few time to adjust my eyes. Today was the day we would go sightseeing.
     To my surprise I saw Erik already up and dressed.

                                  Erik's POV

     I woke up while it was still dark outside. I looked over and saw that Javen was still asleep in the twin bed next to mine. Realizing, and knowing that I probably wouldn't get back to sleep, I dragged myself out of bed.
I was absolutely starving and seriously needed food. I went to the kitchenette and checked the mini fridge tucked away in a cabinet without doors.
All that was in there was a little bit of bacon and some eggs. I turned the oven on and got out a skillet. I placed the bacon in the microwave since that was one of the options on the back of the box. After that I cracked two eggs on the corner of the counter. Then I carefully pulled apart the shell letting the egg white and yolk spill into the pan letting out a loud sizzling sound.
I looked over to Javen to make sure I didn't wake him up. Luckily he was still fast asleep just like before.
Turning back to my cooking I cracked the other egg, this time getting some of the shell into the pan. I stupidly tried to get the eggshell out with my bare hands. I ended up burning my fingers. I ran over to the sink to run my hand underneath the cold water.
It was very cold but very soothing against my now bright red and blistered skin. After too long of running my hand under the sink I realized I had left the eggs on. Running back to the skillet, the eggs were completely burned. I got super frustrated but then got hopeful the bacon would be better.
Pressing the button allowing the microwave door to swing open, almost knocking a glass off the counter edge. The steam poured out with the bacon still bubbling on its surface from the heat.
It looked good.
My stomach grumbles by the sight of it. I had cooked six pieces, having three for each of us. I ended up devouring all of them leaving none for Javen.
Feeling bad I went back into the kitchen to dispose of the burnt eggs into the expensive scented kind of trash bags. I got some bandages from the first aid kit that was located on top of the mini fridge. I poured alcohol over my burn with a fluffy cotton ball and wrapped it with white gauze.
     Hearing the floorboards creaking behind me to see Javen walking into the kitchen. "Hello gorgeous," he said wrapping his arms around my waste.
     Javen: It smells like something's burning.
     Erik: Yeah, I tried cooking breakfast.
     Javen: What happened?
     Erik: I ended up burning my hand and the eggs as well as eating all the bacon, I'm sorry.
    Javen: Its ok, we'll just go out to eat, he said, giving me a kiss on the cheek.
     After our chat I wondered to the luggage that rested on the ground. It was unpacked with clothes spilling out. My outfit for the day was a plain grey shirt with a breast pocket. I also wore dark blue jeans and some old off-brand shoes.
     Javen stumbled around the corner wearing a black adidas t-shirt with also dark blue jeans. He work a pair of white high top vans.
     "Ready?" Javen asked excitedly.
      Absolutely!
     We went to the lobby and checked out and went on our way. We first wanted to get something to eat since Javen was hungry. We stopped by a nice restaurant overlooking a huge pond. I ordered a small plate of eggs and bacon with a water. Javen ordered scrambled eggs, bacon, a biscuit, and a huge glass of orange juice the size of his head. We devoured the food chatting in between bites to decide what places we would go first.
     Deciding on a place and finishing the last bites of our food, Javen and I quickly pressed out the door, paying on the way out.
