When I woke up from that blissful dream, I had become curious why I was dreaming about Ford. Is it because I like him or is it just coincidence?
After some thinking...
I sit up on my bed, and I realized that Penji isn't next to me. I checked the restrooms, the bedroom, the living room, and the kitchen... but he was no where to be found. I was supposed to bring him to the vet today.
I heard a door open, and it was Ali.
"Ali!!"
Ali jumped from being surprised.
"Good morning Haven, why are you screaming?"
I start to tear up...
"I can't find Penji..."
"Haven."
"Yeah?"
"Penji is in my bedroom."
I froze from relief "oh."
I ran to Alis bedroom seeing Penji sleeping under the bed. I have never been so scared in my life, I thought I lost Penji forever. I wouldn't know what to do if Penji would disappear forever.
I went under the bed, and kissed Penji.
I whispered "You scared me there, Penji Boi"
Ali leaned on the wall next to the door, smiling.
"You really Love Penji huh?"
"Of course! He was the only one I had when I first moved here."
"That's nice." Ali tapped on my shoulder.
She smiles "I'll be making breakfast."
I smile back, and nodded my head.
When Ali went out the door, I carried Penji to his dog bed.
"You stay there, I'll be taking you to the vet later."
I'm actually worried about Penji, he has been very weak lately.
"Haven!!! Scrambled or sunny side up?"
"Oh, I'll help you."
"No. No. I'll do it myself, you rest"
"You sure?"
"I can do this!"
"Well... ok, if you say so, I'd like scrambled."
"Yes ma'am!"
Ali pushes me on the couch, and turned on the tv.
"Y'know You have been stressing a lot lately, you deserve to be lazy."
She left me watching tv, and continued to cook breakfast.

When I was so into to the show, I suddenly smelled smoke. I also saw smoke leading from the kitchen.
-beep beep beep-
"Oh shoot, it's the fire alarm!"
I ran to the kitchen to check what was happening. I saw the pan Ali was using IS ON FIRE.
"HELP" Ali shouted
I tried to take the fire out using a cloth, but it only made it worse. I looked around the room, and I saw a fire extinguisher.
Ali noticed it too, and grabbed it right away. She uses it to take out the fire.
"Phew. That was close." I said
Ali looking guilty apologized.
"S-sorry, I just wanted to be of help since you offered me to live here."
I forgave her, and we both cleaned the mess.
"Maybe I should teach you how to cook"
"Hehe maybe"
I decided I should show her how to make a sandwich. I took out some white bread, lettuce, tomatoes, and ham.
"Okay, Ali, this should be easy. You just need to cut the tomatoes and ham."
Ali grabs the knife, and I Notice her hand starting to shake. I grab her hand.
"I'll help you."
I stood behind her placing my hands to hers. Right after, we started cutting the tomatoes and ham.
"See, it's not that hard."
"...y-yeah."

Alis P.O.V.

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no. She's actually doing this to me. Why would she do this? Is it possible that she likes me?
I can feel my sweat dripping, and my face overheating.
"I-I think I can manage now, you can go ahead."
"Are you sure?"
"Yep, I'll let you know if I need any help."
"Ok, I'll just be in the living room."
She exit the kitchen, and I can finally breathe.
I whispered "phew. That was nerve wrecking."
I got the bread, and started making the sandwich.

Havens P.O.V.

I noticed her face turning red, as red as the tomatoes. She must be having a fever or something.

I peeked inside the kitchen if she was doing well. When I look, she was struggling keeping the sandwich stacked straightly.
I giggle a bit, and went back to the living room.

-40 mins. Later-

"I'm done!"

Alis P.O.V.

When I finished making the sandwiches, I noticed Haven fell asleep. I put the sandwiches on the table in front of the tv, and sat next to the sleeping Haven.

I take a good look at her, and scanned every detail of her face. She had long eyelashes, pale skin, and soft looking lips. I had the desire to touch her doll like face, but I'm too scared to wake her up.

The more I admired her, the more I wanted to touch her. I lifted up my hand, and gently touched her cheeks. Her cheeks were soft and plump, and I kissed her cheeks. Then I touched her lips, they were soft too. Such luscious lips, I wanted to kiss it too.
I went closer and closer till I felt her breathe, until...

I heard someone knocking on the door.
-knock knock knock-

I turned away from Haven swiftly, and pretended I was sleeping.

Havens P.O.V.

I wake up.

I turned to my right, and I see that Ali has fallen asleep. I stretched, and looked in front of me.
"I see she finally finished the sandwiches."
I stand up, and took a sandwich.

-knock knock knock-

"Hmm? Oh, someone's knocking."
I put down my sandwich.

I opened the door, and it was Ford.
"Oh, Ford! Long time no see."
"Hey, been so long!"
"You can come in!"
When I turned back, I notice that Ali disappeared from the couch. Oh... I see... she probably doesn't want to see Ford right now.
"There are sandwiches right over there, eat as many as you like, I'll be making some tea."
"Okay."
I go grab 2 cups, and begin making tea.

Just when I was about to finish making the tea, i felt someone behind me.
I turned back, and it was Ford.
"Ford?"
He took my shoulder, and hugged me.
I blush.
"F-Ford?! What's wrong."

He begins to hug me tighter.
Why is he hugging me?!
