Shannon's POV

I woke up peacefully. I turned over to the alarm clock next to me and read 8:47 am. It was still early so I decided against waking up Diego. I pulled myself out of bed making my way to the bathroom. I did my morning hygiene and walked back into my bedroom.

I shuffled through my clothing looking for an outfit for the day. I didn't have any plans but I felt good, i wanted to look cute. I pulled out some black joggers matching the black crop top I already had on. When I had the outfit together I figured it was cute enough to post on snapchat. I pulled out a purse to match the outfit and took the picture.

I noticed Diego's shirt and shoes peeping in the picture and silently laughed to myself before posting it

I noticed Diego's shirt and shoes peeping in the picture and silently laughed to myself before posting it. I sat the bag back down before deciding to check on my mom. She should be gone for work by now.

I creeped into her room, relieved when I saw her empty bed and messy counter. She had left for work already. I walked down stairs and thought it would be a cute idea to make breakfast in bed for Diego. I don't know why but I was just in the best mood.

I was hella feeling myself.

As I looked for something to whip up I remembered I had no clue how to cook. I wasn't planning on figuring it out so I just decided on cereal and toast. I poured a bag of Coco Pebbles in a huge bowl (probably too big of a bowl) and slid two pieces of bread into the toaster. I waited patiently for the toast to pop up.

When Diego's breakfast was all made, I poured a generous amount of milk in a tall glass and placed it all neatly on a tray. I carried it up stairs quietly and slowly walked into the room. Diego was still sound asleep so I nudged him lightly.

He groaned a little but picked himself up, looking over at me. He gave me a sleepy smile and then saw the tray of food in my hands.

"Please tell me that's for me." His eyes lit up.

I laughed and passed the tray to him, sitting myself down next to him on my bed.

"Eat up fatty." I smiled.

"Someone's in a good mood." He winked at me.

"What are you implying?" My eyebrows raised.

"Nothing, just now that we are a thing and all-"

"Not completely." I cut him off.

I watched as his goofy smile faded and he looked down at his cereal.

"Yeah, I mean, I just meant-" He fumbled over his words. My heart ached with guilt.

"I know what you mean." I leaned in close to him and pecked him lightly on the cheek.

His face became warm and I saw the smile trying not to spread from ear to ear on his face. I giggled and decided to save him the embarrassment. I grabbed the Playstation controller and turned on the TV screen.

"Going to play more fortnight you nerd?"

I glared at him daringly. "No, I have Netflix on here dumbass. Now what do you want to watch?" I asked

"I don't care," he took a spoonful of cereal into his mouth. "it's up to you."

I clicked through plenty of movies and shows until I stopped at The Office.

"I mean, come on! It's a classic!" I beamed at him, referring to the show.

"I never said no." He raised his arms in protest.

I smiled widely at him and turned on the show. As the episode played I snuggled close to Diego, resting my head in his chest. I managed to swipe a piece of toast from him and eat it slowly. This was perfect. Breakfast in bed with the one person that meant shit to me right now, watching the best show ever, feelings his heart beat. This felt just right. I didn't want it to end.
