Best Friend's Keeper (Book Two)

Chapter 28

Kristina woke up the next morning early, around 6am. The sun wasn't even fully out yet. She turns and sees Ian still sleeping on the chair which tugs at her heart. He really did stay. She gets out of bed and wakes him up. "Good morning." she says with a smile. "Before you say anything, I need you to get your behind in that bed and go straight to sleep okay?" Ian still tired just gets up and drops himself on the bed. Kristina picks up the comforter and puts it over his body, "Thank you for staying, it means the world to me." she says giving him a kiss on the cheek but he was already fast asleep. She grabs her towel and heads to the bathroom and takes a shower. She gets out feeling refreshed and good about herself. I should do something for them today, after all this is my last day here. She heads downstairs towards the kitchen, she finds pancake mix, eggs and bacon in the fridge. She lays everything out to make her friends breakfast. She finds a three pans, she cleans all three of them and puts bacon in one and butter in the other two, one for the pancakes and one for the eggs. She pours the pancake mix in a bowl, adds eggs, milk, oil and lots of sugar. Then she cracks 6 eggs, adds seasoning and whips it up. She pours the eggs in the pan and some pancake batter in the other pan. She stirs the eggs to scramble them and flips the pancake to cook the other side. She pulls out 3 plates, one for the bacon, one for the scrambled eggs and one for the pancakes. She turns over the bacon that is slowly cooking and stirs the scrambled eggs a bit more before finally putting them in the plate. The first pancake is finished cooking and she puts it in the plate and pour another one. In the process, Sarah comes down the stairs.

"Kristina, you really didn't have to!" Sarah exclaims as she stands in the kitchen in awe.

"It's just  my way of saying Thank you." she says with a smile.

"I'm starving so thank you." Sarah says as she walks over and hugs her. "Where's the big dummy?"

"He's sleeping."

"Want me to call him?" Sarah says as she sits down at the table.

"Nah, he needs the sleep." she says as Sarah smiles, "Why are you smiling?"

"No reason at all." Sarah smiles again.

"I hope you're not thinking anything."

"I didn't say anything." she says with her hands up.

Kristina gets a plate and puts two pancakes on her plate, with some eggs and several pieces of bacon on the side to give to Sarah. As she places the plate in front of Sarah, Ian comes running down the stairs.

"Oh my God. I am starving. Feed me!" Ian says as he sits at the table.

"You're so hood. You have no manners what so ever." Sarah says with her mouth full of food.

"You're disgusting, talking with your mouth full. Like a little savage." he says as he makes a face at her as she hits him with her fork.

"Children, please act civilized at the table." Kristina says in a motherly voice. "I thought you would still be asleep." she says to Ian.
