Cethany Fanfiction: What About Us?

Dinner with the family. {31}

I wake up in Connor's arms.

I looks at the alarm clock.

8:00.

I close my eyes again, and drift back off into sleep.

-

I wake up for the second time, a half an hour later. Connor is still sound asleep. I wiggle out of his arms, trying not to wake him.

I sneak out of or bedroom, and quietly shut the door.

I walk into the bathroom and brush my hair, teeth, and wash my face.

When I get downstairs after taking care of my daily morning things, I make myself some tea, and then begin on breakfast.

I think I'm up for pancakes today.

I find the pancake mix in the cupboard, and pour some in a bowl, adding water.

I mix the batter, and pour some in the pan, making a circle.

Just as I'm flipping the third pancake, my phone goes off.

I answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hey Beth!"

"Hey Mom!"

"How are you, hunny?"

"I'm good! How are you and Briddy? I haven't seen Marin in forever!"

"That's good to hear, and we are all doing great! Marin was just asking about you. She was screaming your name and pointing at your picture."

"Aw, I'll have to come over sometime soon to see you all!"

"Yes! About that, I was actually calling to invite you and Connor over for dinner tonight! We will be having grilled chicken and potatoes! Dinner is on the table at 5:00 sharp."

"I would love to come! Let me make sure Connor doesn't have anything going on tonight, and I'll give you a call back."

"Sounds great, dear."

"Bye mom."

"Bye Bethany. I'll talk to you later."

With that, the line went blank.

I set my phone down, and walked over to the stove to finish up the pancakes.

"Do I smell pancakes?" I hear someone from around the corner, and I jump.

"Jeez, Connor! You scared me to death!" I yell at him.

"Sorry, baby." Connor says, wrapping his arms around my waist, and kidding my temple.

I walk to the fridge, Connor's arms still around me, making it difficult to walk. I grab out the milk and syrup, and attempt to walk to the table.

"Connor! Get off of me!" I laugh.

"No! I love youuu!" Connor says.

"I love you to! But I can't walk here, and I'm trying to get you your breakfast!"

With that, he stands up straight, turns me around, and stares at me.

"What?" I ask.

"You're just so beautiful." He says.

"I love you."

"I love you, baby."

He slams his lips to mine. I wrap my arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. He pulls me closer into him. I pull away, and quickly clean the counter of all of the pancakes, putting it all on the table.
