P.S. still Alex’s POV

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

“Good morning, beautiful” I whisper as Cherry blink once then twice before blushing.

“Morning” She greet back shying away from me like she’s conscious about something. My first guest is her breath but I don’t really care about that. “What time is it?” She mumbles.

“Just pass eight.” I said and chuckle when Cherry groan and snuggle closer to me. “Do you want me to make you some breakfast or do you want to sleep a bit more?”

Cherry looked deep in thought as her eyebrow get dangerous closer together. “I think…” She trail off tapping her chin. “I’ll have both!” She said like a little kid making me chuckle.

I sat up but not before giving her a kiss on her temple. “Alright then, you sleep a bit more while I cook you some breakfast.” Cherry nod while yawning and I took that as my cue to get up.

I grab my sweatpants on the floor & quickly pull it up before putting my shirt on as I made way downstairs to the kitchen. There were quite a lot of people already awake but most of them are college student and people who work since it was only Friday.

I nod to some of them while smile at the girls but as a return they gave me a flirtation smile. If I was still the old player I would hit on that girl but now my world only revolves around Cherry.

“Morning.” Brian greeted as soon as I walk in the kitchen. He nods his head before walking out of the kitchen with a plate of bacon, toast, beans and sausage. But he stops just before the door and look at me. “How’s Cherry?”
I knew he miss her even though he never shows it but his eyes does. “She’s alright, sleeping again.” I said casually. Brian only nods before walking off.

I wonder if I will be like that when it’s Brian’s turn to spend time with Cherry? I ask myself before shaking the gloomy feeling that seems to start settling in.

“Good morning Alex!” Emma greeted as soon as she looks up from the dishes she’s washing. “Going to cook some breakfast for Cherry again?” she asks teasingly.

At my old pack, theGreenwoodpack we have someone to cook food for us and clean after us but in the Crescent pack it was a different story. Emma cooks all the meals with the help of other pack members except breakfast.

She will proper one time to time but not always. She said she want everyone to at least learn how to cook and be more independent rather than always counting on her to make them food. But she always there in the kitchen, helping everyone who struggle to cook.

“You should let Cherry cook for you sometimes.” She said after a few moment of silent. “She makes the best homemade waffles.” She said before drying her hands.

I smile and said, “I’ll ask her one day.” She smiles at me before shaking her head lightly. “Do we still have bacon?”

“Surprisingly, yes we do.”

“We do?” I ask, shocked. Bacon normally doesn’t last after pass eight.

“We do.” Emma said drying her hands. “I’m going back to the dinning hall and help Nathan finish feeding the twins. You’ll be alright, right?”

I chuckle. “Of course! I already know how to cook!” I said proudly.

Good! Emma said through the mind link as she walks out of the kitchen.

Shaking my head, I grab three eggs, a pack with ten pieces of bacon and mushroom. I started by grilling the bacon before slicing the mushroom before grilling them with the bacon. I made three perfect sunny sides up and some toasts.

I quickly buttered the toasts and put everything else on the plate with the toasts before running back up to the room before the foods get cold.

Cherry was still sleeping peacefully when I enter the room and silently as possible I close the door behind me and place the two plates on the nightstand. I crawl back to bed and gently nudge Cherry.

She moans but only shifts her position. I half smile at her before nudging her again and at the same time telling her to wake up. After what seems to be a hundred of nudging and begging for her to wake up, she finally woke up.

“Let me just wash my mouth.” She said before zooming out of the room and into my bathroom.

You don’t need to do that, your breath smells fine! I said through the mind link so I was sure she can hear me through the running water.

Doesn’t mean I want to eat my breakfast with morning breath! She answered back. Beside you might only be saying that to make me feel better!

I’m serious. I said with a serious voice and I continue on, I won’t be giving you morning kisses if your breath smells.

Cherry then decide to let her present known again by standing in front of the bathroom door with both hands on her hips and with one eyebrow up. “So you’re saying you won’t kiss me at all if I have morning breath?”

“Yeap!” I said popping the ‘p’. “Morning breath already smells imagine smelling with our sensitive nose?” I said with a cringle.

“Good point” Cherry said before jumping back on the bed. “So what did you cook me this time?”

I grab the plate and was thankful it was still warm. “Bacon with grilled mushrooms and buttered toasts.” I said handing her, her plate. “Also, a bottle of your favourite aloe vera water.” I toss the bottle water towards her which she easy catch.

“Thank you!” She said as she eyed her food. She quickly helps herself and I followed after watching her eat for a while. “What’s the plan for today?”

“It’s a surprise but don’t wear any skirt or dress today though or any heels.” I said after swallowing my food. “You’ll regret it.”

“You know I hate surprises.” She stated.

“I know.” I said cheekily earning a stern look from her but she drops the subject and move to the next one.

When we both finish our food we lie back again and relax for a few more minute, just lying there next to each other before Cherry gave me a kiss on the lips which I quickly return before she pull away looking flustered and practically sprint to the bathroom.

I sat up looking daze while tracing my lips with awe. Cherry never give me a kiss on the lips, normally it was a kiss on the cheek but never before on the lips. I was a man who always makes the first move.

I seem to stay like that for a while because the next thing I knew, the bathroom door open and out came Cherry, practically naked with only a towel around her body and washes.

“Your turn.” She mumbles shyly.

I nod my head and robotically make my way to my bathroom and took the longest shower I ever had while I thought to myself that today must be my lucky day.
