By My Side(Book 2 to The Lynchs)

Chapter 5

Jasmine's POV

After spending Christmas with the lynchs me and Ross decided to spend New Years at our home to finally create memories. I got up from the bed waking up on the bed seeing Ross face smashed right into the pillow making me softly chuckle at the way his nose was scrunched. I shook off the feeling before going to take a quick shower.

The hot water felt good hitting my body and I turned on the jets that massaged my aching back that still hurts from hauling boxes. I grabbed my rose scented shampoo massaging it into my light brown hair. Since the wedding I felt that my hair started to grow and before between my shoulder blades to now almost the small of my back. I grabbed my body wash rubbing it everywhere to finish up my cleaning so I could go downstairs to prepare breakfast for Ross.

It is early in the morning, not even 7:30 yet and I was trying to get ready in record time. I wanted to make this full day at home seem the beginning of the rest of our lives. I want to be the typical wife, makes breakfast for her man every morning, cleans around the house while he is off at work, take care of the kids when they aren't in school and just love her husband unconditionally. I want his happiness to become mine.

I wrap the white towel around my body drying myself quickly before rushing to the bathroom sink. I grab my toothbrush and toothpaste hurrying to brush my teeth. I rinsed my mouth smiling into the mirror glad to see my teeth shining white after drying my hands on the towel I grab my brush, brushing my hair to get rid of all the knots in my hair. I took notice that my hair dryer would make noise so I just put my hair in a ponytail before going to the room.

Tip toeing into the bedroom watching Ross sleeping on the bed made my nerves go insane as I made my way to the drawers grabbing my undergarments quickly putting them on. I didn't know what to wear cause I didn't want to look sluggish nor overdone. I wanted to look casual so a pair of jeans were the trick but with what shirt? A crop top shows off a bit too much, a flowly top is too much and its too hot for long sleeves. Ugh.

So I slowly opened a drawer that contain my jeans putting on one of the pairs seeing that in the mirror fitted my body well. So I looked through my drawers looking for a shirt but when I saw the time, 8:10, I grab a white shirt putting it on quickly. I put on some socks before quietly making my way out of the room going downstairs to the kitchen. I turned the lights on and went to the fridge for eggs, bacon and orange juice. I went to the pantry for some bread popping a few slices into the toaster.

I grabbed a big pan melting the butter in it so while it was doing that I grabbed a small bowl cracking two eggs in it scrambling them to yellow blobs pouring in a pinch of salt. When I saw the butter melted away I pour in the eggs seeing them start to cook while also making bubbles. The kitchen started to smell like food, I was cooking, dear god this whole house is going to go down in flames.

I put baking paper in a pan then grabbed some bacon slices placing them on the tray. I turned the oven on before placing in the bacon. I remembered you need plates to put the food in, I swear I'm a idiot. Quickly I grabbed a plate before flipping the egg over cooking both sides. So while that side was cooking I go to the dining table cleaning it quickly so that it was shiny and clean for him.

Then I run to the stove putting the eggs on the plate before making a pair for me. Then the oven makes a ting sound saying that the bacon was done so I put oven mitts on before taking the tray out placing it on the counter. Sometimes I forget to put oven mitts on and lets just say Im glad I still have hands. After I take them off I put three pieces of bacon on his plate trying to make it look good. Never did I think I will try to make a plate of food look good for someone, guess there is a first for everything.

Once it was perfect I open the orange juice carton pouring some into a glass seeing that it was being slowly completed. That's when I smelled something burning making me slowly turn around to see black smoke coming out the toaster making me yelp "No! Crap!" I scream as I run to the object pulling out the slices of toast seeing black chunks of coal. I throw those away and try to fan out the smoke by opening a window trying to get rid of the burning smell that masked the good smell of food cooking.
