Jai & I

Chapter 12: Breakfast with Jai...

When I got up, jai was already awake, and had picked some flowers for me and left them with a note. The note read, “These flowers are like you. Beautiful and smell nice ;) Love you lots, Jai xx” I laughed as I folded the note and placed it in my pocket. As I ran downstairs into the kitchen, I hoped to see jai standing at the bottom of the staircase with his arms wide open. Instead, Alana was standing in the kitchen flipping pancakes. It wasn’t the biggest disappointment I guess, so I expected he must have been planning a surprise for me. I knew I had high expectations for Jai, but from everything he has done for me, how could I not? He was perfect in every way. Alana must have seen me standing on the staircase day dreaming, so she came over and said with a smile, “You look lost!” I give an embarrassed giggle and say, “oh no, I was just wondering where Jai was!” She laughs and points to the veranda. I walk through the kitchen and out on the veranda to see Jai leaning over the railing enjoying the view. I quietly tippy toe up behind him and side my arms around his waist, resting my chin on him shoulder. I can feel him smile before he says, “Good morning baby.” I give him a gentle kiss on the cheek and reply with a good morning. He takes my hand and leads me over to the small table with 2 plates of pancakes with ice cream and a berry puree drizzled over to the top. “Oh wow!” I say with a huge smile on my face, not letting go of Jai’s hand. He gives a slight chuckle and guides me over to the seats and pulls out the chair for me to sit down. I sit down, letting Jai’s hand slip from my hand and he sits down opposite me. I sit there staring at him unconsciously, smiling. He laughs at me and hands me a plate with the stack of pancakes on it. I place it down in front of me and say, “Jai.” He looks up from his plate and says, “Yes?” I giggle and say, “I love you.” He smiles and replies, “I love you too.” We both smile and pick up a knife and fork and begin eating. It feels like we have been sitting there for hours, laughing until our stomachs hurt and telling stories and talking. I actually can’t begin to explain the love I have for him. I feel like it’s my turn to do something nice for him. He has done everything he possibly can to make me happy, so now it’s my turn..
