A Regretful Realization

Chapter 12: Simple Starts

Blake POV

When I sat up there was a soft thud next to me. I looked over to see Felix's head had slipped off my chest. 'Oops..' Quickly and quietly I padded downstairs to get a glass of water. I got one from the cupboard and started to fill it. As I did so my eyes fell on the calendar. It was a Wednesday. My heart skipped a beat since the clock on the microwave read 9:30AM 'Oh crap we're late for-'

Then it hit me… today was the first day of summer. Relief instantly spread through my body causing me to sigh a deep heartfelt relief. I set my glass down and walked into the living room.

I sprawled out on the couch in an attempt to relax. 'Me and Felix have been together for two months. Come to think of it his birthday is near the end of summer.' I smirked at the thought. There was already a surprise I cooked up for that day. Couldn't wait to spring it on my little panther.

However, I still wanted this summer to last. It was my first with Felix. I wanted to make it special. School was already over for me but he'd be in his senior year of Highschool. I planned to be there for him as much as I could, regardless of the fact that Brandon and his buddies were in the same grade as Felix. I never even bothered to get their names.

Felix POV

I was pretty surprised when Blake wasn't by my side when I woke up. Groggily, I made my way downstairs to look for him. The kitchen was empty and it kind of tempted me to make food, but I was a bit too tired. Instead I made my way to the living room to find Blake sitting on the couch lost in thought. I took this opportunity to kiss his forehead. He jumped on the spot.

He yelped out and turned his whole being towards me in one swift motion.

"Awww did I scare you?" I stuck my tongue out. We laughed and he pulled me onto him. I smiled and we kissed and cuddled for awhile. His arms were firmly secured around my waist. Too bad our stomachs growling ruined the moment.

"Guess I should probably make some food." I laughed.

"Ya think?" Blake chuckled back. "I'll make sure to make dinner tonight." I got excited. He always had something planned when he decided to cook. Last time we had breakfast for dinner. Eggs Benedict. My mouth began to water uncontrollably.

"Watch it… I'd rather restrict our baths to the actual shower ok?" He joked. I laughed mockingly and followed him upstairs to take our morning shower. We showered to save time and water. At least that was our excuse. I held onto my virginity though. I didn't want to lose it until after graduation.

I'd already planned my graduation speech (an entire year in advance). Secretly, I saved a bunch of money from Blake giving me shopping money and helping out the local residents. Mowing the yard wasn't as hard as you'd think. In fact I almost had the money I needed.

Blake POV

We got out of the shower and made sure we were perfectly groomed, at least to our standards. I laughed when some of Felix's fur wouldn't comb down. I went to my room to grab my some clothes. My closet yielded a salmon colored shirt with black jeans. Felix stepped out of his room with a grey hoodie and grey sweats. Kind of reminded me of someone but i couldn’t put my finger on it. I chose to ignore it.

"What do you want to do today?" He asked, still a bit groggy.

"What sounds fun?" I replied. He pondered this for a bit like he'd had some interesting ideas. I got a bit confused when he smirked but didn't say anything.

"Tell you what." I interrupted his train of thought. "I'll be today's cook. How's that sound?" He grinned.

"Sweet!" He cooked very well but I knew he liked it better when I did. I even wore an apron he got me that read, "He's my favorite". It was a salmon color that had a shade similar to my shirt but lighter. We walked downstairs but halfway down I turned with my arms open. Felix jumped into my warm embrace, giving me a quick kiss. He went into the living room and turned on Sirens. It was a funny show for me.

I proceeded into the kitchen and slipped on the apron. Once I secured it on I got out some potatoes and an egg poacher. I hummed to myself while I cooked.

Felix POV

I got bored of the show and decided to have a little fun. The devious side of me came out when I was bored. Quickly but quietly I got off of the couch. Blake was humming to himself while the sizzling of the potatoes covered any sound I made. Without warning I snuck up on him and hugged his waist. He tensed up and yelped out. Ahhh it felt great getting him a second time.

He turned and applied a gentle kiss to my forehead. I responded by clinging tightly to him. He walked over to the microwave and used the poacher to make some poached eggs. I giggled and didn't let go of him.

"You're such an odd little duck." Blake chuckled at me with a huge smile on his face.

"You know you love me~" He kissed my forehead once more and smiled.

“Well that’s certainly true but I’ll bet I love you more.

We had our little ‘Who Loves Who More’ battle while the eggs took a minute to cook.

Once the eggs had finished we ate our breakfast in bliss. I'd finally figured out what I wanted to do. Go to the rave by the docks. It was a formal dance though… As odd as it sounds. They were probably just trying to keep the fuzz off their backs. (I’m not sorry)

In the end we still decided to go.
