Day 7: Saturday

Jayden’s nerves were strung tight. Just listening to the bacon pop was enough to put him over the edge.

Last he’d checked, Brandi was still asleep.

They hadn’t spoken much last night after curling up in bed.

He hadn’t wanted to break the perfect little bubble they’d created with words. And she’d seemed content to soak up the quiet. It had been nice to lie in silence, holding someone doing the same.

Unfortunately, his eyes had popped open at his usual time and there was no silencing his need to be up and doing something.

When he’d been little, this was the time he normally had to himself. At first, he’d gotten to play with whatever toy or video game normally had to be shared. Sometimes it was TV. As a teen, though in the Fullilove house, he’d begun spending that with Mom.

There was a natural order to Mom’s kitchen, and everyone was expected to help. So, Jayden had become master of everything breakfast. Mom had taught him her secrets, showing him how to get the perfect crisp on hash browns or how to make sure everything was finished at exactly the same second. He’d done a lot of dishes through the years. He didn’t regret a single one of them.

Though he should have probably learned his lesson by now about wearing a shirt when cooking bacon. Namely that he should be wearing one.

Another loud pop. He flinched and somehow remained unscathed.

Jayden glanced at the clock.

Almost nine.

How did people sleep so late?

He’d already done five miles on his stationary bike, showered and started laundry before cooking the real breakfast.

Was Brandi one of those people who slept in? Had he made a mistake?

He surveyed the almost done food with a grimace.

Waking her up was off the table. Too bad breakfast was the one meal where nothing tasted right reheated.

Jayden reduced the heat on the pans, then bolted across the living room. He tip-toed down the hall, his ears picking up sound he hadn’t been able to hear over cooking.

He peered into the bedroom. The windows were still drawn with the blackout curtains shutting out all signs of outside life. But the TV was on whatever passed for early morning cartoons these days.

Brandi was still burrowed into the bed, comforter wrapped around and over her like a cocoon.

He smothered a laugh and crept back the way he’d come.

Okay, so she was awake whether she wanted to be or not. Which likely meant she could stand to eat as well.

Jayden returned to the kitchen with new excitement. He was plating food when he realized his cheeks were hurting from grinning so hard.

Grinning?

He was fairly certain that before Brandi he hadn’t smiled half as much. There was just something about her. She was funny without trying to be. She brightened his day. And he wanted to do that for her. Somehow she had to want what he could offer outside of great sex as much as he wanted to give it.

Sex was fine. Intimacy like that was a human need.
