Chapter Twelve

Xander

This is a new experience for me. Not waking up in Kate’s bed, but not being rushed out of it. Last time I stayed over she was practically kicking me out of her apartment. This time…it’s different. Her alarm is going off on her phone, and she’s not budging.

I gently shake her shoulders. Still not budging. I doubt she’ll be getting glammed up for today, unless she has a meeting. But I don’t remember seeing anything on the white board. Either way, she has time to sleep a little longer.

As quietly as possible, I slide out from under the comforter. I glance around the area; I know the sweatpants I borrowed are here somewhere. I’m not sure I’m at the comfort level to be walking around her apartment in my birthday suit. What if someone comes by, or can see in the windows?

Finally, I see them lying by the dresser on the opposite side of the room, and hurry toward them. How they ended up over here, I have no idea. Well, I do, but that’s beside the point. I slip them on, and tiptoe out of the room.

I’ve never been in her kitchen, but I know she lives off coffee at the shop. I search through the cabinets until I finally find one with all her coffee making stuff. It’s weird it’s not on the counter, but to each their own. Filling the reservoir with water, I place the pod into the coffee maker. Crap. What if she doesn’t have any creamer? Oh well, I guess we’ll find out in a bit.

I search for the coffee mugs, and place it under the coffee maker. Pressing the button, I turn toward the fridge. Maybe she has something to cook for breakfast. As soon as I open the door, I stand in shock. The only contents are creamer, a tub of butter and a tray of fruit that looks like it’s about to grow something. At least I know she has the stuff she needs for the coffee. But seriously, what does she eat? There’s literally nothing here.

The freezer may hold better options. I open the door and there’s a least a little bit of food in here. Most notable are the waffles shoved into a corner. That will work. Pulling the box out, I set it on the counter next to the toaster. We’ll make do with what she has. All I see are signs that she works way too much. Or, she doesn’t regularly shop for groceries. Her food situation looks like mine and my roommates in college. For us, it was because we were broke. There’s a huge different.

“Please tell me that’s coffee and I’m not dreaming.” Kate trudges into the kitchen with her robe wrapped tight around her.

“You aren’t dreaming,” I laugh. “I figured you could use a few more minutes of sleep. So, I put your coffee on and looked for food. By the way, when was the last time you went to the store?”

She looks around the room as if that’s going to give her all the answers she’s looking for.
