Chapter Six

Iwoke up to the smell of cooking bacon and pancakes. Cracking my lids, open I saw the early morning sun peeking through the shutters and that Jackson was nowhere to be found. He had taken the time somewhere during the night to cover me with a blanket and I smiled, touched by his thoughtfulness.

I shuffled to the bathroom to shower and brush my teeth before I got dressed in some clean clothes. I was happy that I had at least thought to do some laundry the other day. He was just finishing up breakfast as I came into the kitchen.

Mama Kitty was having a feast of freshly shredded chicken, her kittens lapping up the cat milk. I studied the can.

Where do you buy this?

The pet store. Our little friends are putting on weight. Even the runt weighs one pound this morning.

I stared at Jackson. He was a kind of wonder man. I really hoped I wasn‘t dreaming all this.

When did you become such an early riser? I yawned. Chrissie had always hit the snooze button at least three times before she could drag herself out of bed. Not only was Jackson up, but he was damn chipper. The radio was on again, this time The Bee Gees were playing.

Ever since I‘ve taken over this body, I don‘t need much sleep. Here try this. He crammed a piece of bacon into my mouth.

I had no choice but to chew it or choke. It was cooked perfectly, crispy yet not burned. After I swallowed, I asked, Since when do you make pancakes and bacon? You always called this stuff a heart attack on a plate.

I already apologized for not letting you eat like this. He popped a piece of bacon in his mouth, his eyes rolling back in bliss. I realize now how wrong I was, this shit is good.

I had been taking a drink of coffee and choked, spraying it everywhere when I heard his last words. He laughed and patted me on the back until I regained my breath.

Sorry, didn‘t mean to shock you there.

It‘s okay. I coughed, my eyes watering a bit. I just never thought I‘d hear you say something like that.

One thing dying does for you is to teach you not to hold back in life anymore. His gaze grew intense and dark. I‘m one of the few lucky ones to get a second chance and I plan on never having regrets again.

He shifted closer, bracing his hands on the counter, trapping me in his embrace. I realized, not for the first time, how much more built he was than me. Not that I was a hundred pound weakling, but if it came down to a fight, there was no question Jackson would come out on top. The thought should have alarmed me. It sure as hell shouldn‘t have made me rock hard. There was no denying the desire pulsating through my body though.

I‘m sorry I zonked out on you last night, I stammered just to have something to say.
