You Were Worth The Wait | Jelix

Chapter 1 - Rise and shine

I stood in the kitchen, wearing an oversized t-shirt (you can guess where that came from) and underwear. I was making breakfast for me and Felix. The time was 9:27 am. He was still asleep when I got out of bed to make us food, but either the smell or the dumb ass fire alarm that had gone off 3 times already would wake him up.

I was about to turn around and go over to the coffee machine to make us drinks until I felt something furry brush against my ankle, followed by a small, coarse tongue. I span around to find one of my main sources of joy Mya sitting on the floor, looking up at me. I smiled and picked her up, holding her in my arms as if she were a baby. Well, really she was. She was my baby.

"Hello Mya. Are you hungry as well? Don't worry, I'll do you something to eat soon. I've just gotta finish up mine and daddy's breakfast." Yes, I was mom and Felix was dad. We treated Mya like she was our child. She was good practice.

I then put her down on the floor and continued to make breakfast, which was nearly done. Whilst I waited a little bit longer for the eggs to finish cooking, I turned to face Mya.

"Say Mya...where's your brother?" As soon as I finished my sentence, a seemingly happy Edgar bounced his way into the kitchen, jumping up at me and scratching my bare legs. I picked him up to stop him from hurting me.

"Jeez Edgar. We need to cut your nails, they're sharp." I kissed him on the head and gave him a little bit of a fuss before putting him down on the floor next to Mya.

The eggs were finally done. I removed them from the pan and put them on two seperate plates, one for Felix and one for me. I then proceeded to make us toast. I placed the single pieces of bread into the toaster and then stood there, waiting for them to pop out of the machine. Suddenly, I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. I smiled, resting my hands on my lover's own.

"Morning beautiful." He greeted me before kissing the back of my neck.

"Hey shit head." He let go of me, grabbing my hands and turning me around so that I was facing him. I rested my hands on the counter, Felix putting his hands on top of mine.

"Well that's no way to talk to your one and only. You've upset me now." I smirked, looking deep into his eyes.

"Do you want me to say sorry?" He nodded.

"Too bad." He stared at me for a few seconds, not quite sure what he was about to do. That was until his hands moved rapidly and he began to tickle me. I tried to push him off of me, but he was much stronger than I was.

"Get off me you asshole!" I laughed loudly, trying my best to get him away from me. I hit him lightly, not wanting to hurt him. After about 30 seconds of pure torture he stopped and I could finally breathe again and stop letting out my hideous laugh.

"You're pure evil." He smiled at me as I heard the toast pop up out of the toaster. I grabbed the slices, placing them on the different plates.

"Sit your ass on one of those chairs, your food is done." He did as I asked and sat down at the kitchen table. I swiftly followed with a plate in each hand. I placed one in front of Felix and sat down to eat my own. I had just started to enjoy my eggs and toast when I felt scratching on my legs. Again, pain shot through my legs.

"Ow..." I mumbled, trying to gently kick the pugs away, realising they were probably jumping up at me because they also wanted some breakfast.

"You know...you should either cut their nails...or start wearing some trousers or something around the house..." I looked at Felix and raised an eyebrow.

"Actually, don't listen to that last part. Just cut their nails." I smiled and chuckled a little.

"I think they want something to eat." I announced. My boyfriend stood up and called the pugs over to him. He made them some food, putting it in their individual bowls. When he sat at the table again the dogs began to devour their breakfast and within a few seconds, they had finished.

"Mark wants to come over today. I forgot to tell you. Is that alright?" He announced. I shook my head.

"Did you forget again? Even though I've told you about 10 times?" He looked clueless. Of course he had forgotten.

"My mother is coming over today. And by the time she leaves, I don't know if there will be any time for Mark to visit." Felix mouthed an 'oh' and looked down at his half empty plate.

"He could come round tomorrow. We're not doing anything tomorrow." Felix smiled and nodded.

"Tomorrow sounds good." Felix and Mark had always been close. They had such a good friendship and an amazing bond. They were always arranging to meet each other and do collaborations in videos.

"So when does your mother arrive?"

"12. She's leaving at 3."

"What time is it now?" I looked at my phone.

"9:43. We've got some time to kill before she gets here."

"Yeah...you'll probably kill most of that time getting ready." I finished off the rest of my breakfast and stood up, carrying my plate over to the dishwasher.

"No I won't, I'll only take about half an hour. It's just my mom, I don't need to look too nice."

"Yeah, you say that, and then you'll spend that half an hour you were talking about just doing your hair. Honestly, living with you is like living with my sister sometimes." He said playfully and teasingly.

"I think if I was your sister we'd be crossing a few lines. And breaking a couple of laws." I pointed out, hating the image that was in my head of me being Fe's sister.

"Good point. Ok, I take that back." I took his empty plate off him and put it in the dishwasher along with mine. I closed the door and pressed the button, only for nothing to actually happen.

"Shit...I think we may need a new dishwasher."

"Why, what's wrong with you?" I grabbed a tea towel off of the countertop and threw it at him, making him giggle.

"Seriously. It won't turn on."

"Don't worry about it. I'll ask my friend."

"Who's your friend?" I asked.

"Google." I rolled my eyes and made my way back over to Felix. I kissed him on the cheek and ruffled his hair before leaving the room and walking upstairs to get ready for my mom's arrival.
