Soulmates in any universe or time 《 Wattys 2018 》

Look who's finally awake

I woke up the next morning in Sara's bed, my back was against the headboard, my head was rested on hers, she had an arm over me and the other hand on my forearm, I looked over to see the time, it was almost nine, boy did I ever have a stiff neck.

I sat there for a while holding still so I wouldn't wake her up, until I felt her move her head from my shoulder, "Well look who's finally awake." She jumped when she heard my voice, jerking her hands away from me, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to lay on you." She was freaking out,"You mean fall asleep on me." I laughed.

Finally she got out of her bed, "I'm seriously so sorry," She started but I cut her off,"You had a bad dream, I'm glad to be around to help when you need it." A smile crossed her face, "Mind if I get dressed?" She said as she opened her closet door and looked down at her pajama bottoms, "I'll go make some breakfast." I said in reply before walking out of her door and closing it behind me.

Downstairs I was making omelettes for our breakfast, since we were the only ones home I decided afterward we could go for a little walk around town, Sara came down the stairs without me noticing until she walked over to the fridge looking for something to drink, this was happening while I was putting her omelette onto a plate.

I didn't mean to stare but she was wearing a very tight pair of jeans in my defence, it wasn't very chivalrous but dear lord what a view, suddenly I felt my hand burning, just to look down and see I absently put my hand onto the bottom of the pan I was holding, "Ow son of a-" I was cut off from my scream of pain when I heard Sara hit her head on the refrigerator, "Shit!" She yelled.

Sara looked at me holding the back of her head, she asked "Are you okay?" I only nodded as I finished putting the food onto the plate and turned the stove off, "Oh my god!" She yelled after I was done, "Your hand!" I looked down at it, "Yup that's gonna hurt for a while." I replied before she rushed out of the room to grab the first aid kit, "Sit, now." She commanded me as she pointed to a kitchen chair.

I did what Sara told me to do, she wrapped my hand after applying something on for the burn, "You need to be more careful." She recited the whole time she was playing nurse, when she finally finished I thanked her, "Now can we eat?" I asked her, "Yea, before it gets cold." So we did exactly that, we ate our breakfast and talked.

Sara smiled at me, "What do you think my dad's going to say when he walks in and sees you have a burnt hand?" She said laughing, "You're never allowed to use the stove again!" I said trying to imitate his voice and failing miserably.
