Cookie monster

EMILIA'S POV

I woke up at 5:30 to the sound of my alarm blaring, sending shockwaves right through my ears, I fumbled around my nightstand mindlessly, till I hit the jackpot, grabbing my the source of the noise I held it above my face trying to turn off the alarm, and as luck would have it the moment it turned off I lost grip of my phone sending it sailing straight towards my face.

"Ugh" I groaned grabbing it once more this time with a much firmer grip and rolled off my bed placing it back onto my nightstand. I padded into the bathroom and used the toilet and showered before staring at my reflection, a fluffy white towel draped around my body wondering if it'd move without me doing so, with an unsuccessful attempt I began sorting the mane on top of my head, my glossy blonde locks were insufferable, coming midway down my back in tight curls which were almost as stubborn as Kate. Once I'd managed to tame the beast and tie it up into a ponytail I moved onto my face.

I looked at my heart-shaped olive face, having come from a black mother and white father meant that I never had to worry about being pale, however, the hair on top of my head more than made up for it, and with the amount of junk, I ate I was blessed to have clear skin. My eyes first went to the fully arched brows shaping my face before stopping at my deep blue eyes which I had once hated but had now come to love, framed with long black lashes, I then moved onto my small button nose which for some odd reason found itself to be a victim whenever a child was near, I then looked at my slightly pouty and plump pink lips, before baring my teeth and checking they were all still present and in place. I brushed my teeth prior to washing and drying my face before applying a thin layer of mascara to brighten up my eyes and pinching my cheeks to add colour to my face and finishing off with lip balm. Once I'd deemed that my face looked somewhat presentable I left the bathroom, closing the door behind me.

I shifted to my closet pulling out a long white t-shirt with the words "Bite me" scrawled across the top, hopefully, the message would get across to any unwelcome individuals and paired it with a pair of blue ripped denim jeans, and white trainers. I gave myself an overall in the mirror, my small short legs were no match for Kate's toned athletic thighs, she was tall and gorgeous, while I was short and small in stature often having my age wrongfully guessed despite being 19, it was honestly exhausting, id even considered getting my ID stapled to my forehead, but that idea had left pretty soon after arriving. I sighed entering the kitchen to make breakfast, baking had always been a release for me and I acquired a passion for it from a very young age, but I learned early on that dreams don't always help in paying the bills, and sometimes they have to just remain as hobbies.

After making breakfast I shouted out "Kate I'm leaving, and I made breakfa-" before I could even finish my sentence Kate sprinted out of her bedroom with an unnatural speed her black hair a floating mess behind her and hurled her tired body into the kitchen. Her piercing forest eyes looked around the kitchen calculatingly, searching for any sign of food she could see, her eyes moved over each marble counter before confusion set over her face.

"But then ate it..." I finished,her face became flushed with terror and for a moment I genuinely felt quite bad,however I then remembered who she was and how territorial she became when it came to her food, I also had multiple tales to prove it, the joys of living with someone who's stomach had been replaced with something equivalent to that of a black hole.

"You absolute monster! how could you?" she sputtered having not yet fully recovered from her state of shock. Her shoulders hung in defeat and her mouth tilted downwards showing her displeasure, however, her demeanour changed from one of horror to delight in mere seconds, her hands reached out eagerly as I revealed a tray filled with eggs, muffins, scones and sausages which I had so skilfully hidden behind the bread bin, away from her prying eyes

"When the heck did you even get time to make this it's 7 am in the morning?" she said reaching out and plucking the plate out of my hands her mouth-watering as though she'd been stranded without food for days when in reality all she'd done was slept, she began unceremoniously shovelling food down her oesophagus without even bothering to use cutlery

"Well my monster duties don't start till later on today, so I thought id make you breakfast in the meantime, but make sure word doesn't get out I can't have my reputation being tainted" I answered accusingly.

She turned to look at me her mouth full of what I hoped were eggs, " you know I didn't mean it I love you really." she announced sheepishly.

"I'd sure hope so, after getting me fired yesterday" I said mischievously while walking over and wrapping my arms around her insanely thin torso, another superhuman trait kate held, being able to digest food as though she'd been on a treadmill since the moment she'd woken up to the moment she fell into a coma every night "But it's okay because I love you too" I replied my voice full of honesty. I took my chin off her head and began walking towards the door shouting a quick "bye" before I left, which was met with a mix of something between a grunt of acknowledgement and a growl.
