Up and Down love

Part 5

(The next morning)

Ag:

When I got up the next morning the pounding was gone and all I could hear was Ms. Shumate cooking something up in the kitchen. Smelled like pancakes and bacon. A great tasting classic. I went out to join her and she must have felt my tension.

"Good morning Ag! How does pancakes and bacon sound? I have to head to work soon, but I thought this would be nice."

"Smells amazing, thank you."

Concern filled her eyes.

"I saw you were asleep on the couch... Everything alright with you and Anna?"

I couldn't lie to her...shit, I can't lie to anyone.

"We got in an argument last night. Things just weren't working."

She continued to flip the pancakes and check the bacon occasionally.

"I won't ask for specifics because I feel that is more of you guys business, but I will say one thing. When it comes to Anna's heart she has a hard time deciding. Truly I take responsibility because of her father and I's divorce. When you grow up in that environment you see no other outcome in relationships. I don't just mean romantically, but in general friendships. So when it comes to decisions all she can think is I either put everything or nothing. Things will work out with you too, but you must have patients. Leave the frustration and stubbornness aside and have patients. You'll admire her so much more if you do."

I took a step back, why didn't I instantly step back and listen? Instead I got pissed.

"Thank you so much Ms. Shumate. That really helped me see this in a different light."

"Glad I could helped sweetie. Now go make up with Anna and get your asses down here to eat."

We both laughed and I headed up the steps to wake up Anna. As I thought she was still asleep. I am sure last night kicked the crap out of her.

I climbed in next to her and just admired how cute she looked when she was asleep. I moved a her hair so I could get to so her. I placed my lips on her neck and rested there until she woke up. 

"Ag?" She said in her sleepy voice. 

"Good morning baby. Listen I just wanted to apologize for last night. I've just wanted this for so long and then it seemed like it was just gone and taken. When you said what you said I shouldn't have gotten mad. I should have been patient and listened to anything you wanted to talk about. I hope you can forgive me and I know I just kissed you, but if friends is what you want then I will learn to accept that."

She put her hand on my face and used her thumb to rub back and fourth.

"You won't have to accept anything. I still want to be your girlfriend. Just I ask that you respect the fact that I will need more time on certain things."

She paused, "You were right one on thing. The label did draw an affect on me, but I love it because it means I'm your's and that's all I really want to think of."

I could reason with that, but I had to ask, "does this mean I can still kiss you?"

She started to laugh, "yes." Her cheeks flushed red.

I took the opportunity and went in. "Good because you are way too cute in the morning!"

We made out for a couple of minutes and that's all I needed to feel normal again.

"Oh by the way your mom says we better get are asses down to eat."

"That's what that heavenly smell is!"

We both got into more appropriate clothes and headed for breakfast
