End of author's notes

Even though her room was not finished, she felt more at home there than in the orphanage. It was really a pleasant surprise that she didn't have any problems with falling asleep, frankly saying after a very quick shower, she fell down onto the softest material she had ever laid on and then the darkness took her. Akali was grateful that before going to the bathroom, she set up the clock on her phone because without it she was more than sure that she would not be able to wake herself up on time. To be honest, when the piece of technology started to buzz at 5 am, she was devastated and tried her hardest to silence it. It took her a minute or so to remind herself that she had to prepare for school and make a tasty breakfast for her protector, who was possibly still sleeping, or at least it was what she believed.

Once she stretched a bit, she chose to take another quick shower to wake up fully. As soon as she turned on the cold water tap, she regretted her decision. She nearly screamed when the ice-cold water drops touched her exposed skin. After what felt like an eternity, she finished her morning routine and proceed to the kitchen dressed up in a half-buttoned black shirt and tight, ripped jeans. Through the extremely huge gap that was created by the unbuttoned shirt, her white, lace bra could be spotted. To tell the truth, Akali was not even aware that she left her bedroom in such a scandalous outfit. Once the girl reached her destination, she started to look around shelves and fridge to obtain needed ingredients. Frankly saying, she did not ask Evelynn what she usually eats for breakfast so the teenager was clueless about what to make to satisfy the woman. Soon enough Rogue decided to make some scrambled eggs, toast and a salad with tomatoes, cucumber, red paprika, and a light dressing.

Fully focused on her activity. she nearly did not hear the sound of the doors opening. The girl quickly turned around to face Evelynn who appeared a moment later. Even though the siren looked like she had trouble sleeping properly, she was still the most breathtaking person the black-haired girl ever met. Her eyes were only half-way open, her hair was pinned into a messy bun with only a few tresses falling onto the godly shaped face of the goddess. The lawyer must have woken up recently because she was still in her pajamas, at least it was what Akali assumed. The raven-black, lace, transparent nightgown was not the cloth the girl expected to see the woman in, but frankly, she could not tear her eyes away from the living angel's body.

"Darling, you are staring, you know it is impolite to do such a thing." The magenta-haired woman chuckled.

"Sorry." The girl apologized, turning a bit red.

"What have you prepared for breakfast?" Came the question asked in a purr-like manner.

"As you can see on the table, we have scrambled eggs, toast and salad." Akali replied, turning back to the frying pan.

"Oh, what a pity." The woman sighed heavy. "For a really small moment I was thinking that you would be my meal." She added with seductive voice. "I am honestly shocked that you did not button your shirt fully, but I am not gonna lie, I do not mind. It is just like a proper wrapping for a fascinating present for me. Dear, are you my early Christmas present?" She whispered into the girl's ear, once she closed the distance between them.

"Eve!" The teenager whimpered.

"Oh, hush. Darling I am just merely teasing you." The woman giggled.

"Sit down and eat, please. We are going to be late if you are to continue this game of yours." Akali plead the older woman.

"Fine, fine. Thank you, Rogue. Thank you for waking up early and preparing this meal for both of us."
