Around 3 o’clock, Brennon woke up feeling his full bladder pressing against the sides of his body. He groaned as he slid off of the bed then walked into the bathroom. When he finished and flushed, washing his hands then coming back out into the hallway light and up to the bedroom door, he noticed Katy was up and looking at him from the bed.
“Oh, hey,” he said, smiling in the doorway with the hallway light behind him illuminating his body. “I didn’t wake you up, did I?”
Katy shrugged. “I don’t know, but it’s okay. I’m glad you did.”
“You’re glad I did?” Brennon asked, chuckling as he came back over to the bed. “Why would you say that?”
Katy giggled. “Because...” She looked away bashfully. “I got to look at your butt while you walked away.”
Brennon laughed, a bit embarrassed. “Well, I certainly wasn’t expecting you to say that.”
There was a long pause where they enjoyed the waking up after making love bliss. When Brennon finally processed what time it was, he looked over at Katy. “What time were you trying to go back home?”
“Huh?” Katy asked, clearly a bit confused. She cupped her forehead. “Oh, yeah. Hmm. I hadn’t even thought about that.”
Brennon chuckled. “Well, I just thought I would ask. I know you didn’t plan on spending the night on the first date.”
Katy smiled and closed her eyes as she relived last night. “No, no I didn’t. But that’s okay.” She shrugged. “I don’t care.”
Brennon climbed back up onto the bed and hugged up against Katy once again. They tried drifting back to sleep. After a few long nods, time had flown by and once again they both were up. However, unbeknownst to them, a few hours had passed between either of their long nods. The sun began rising into the sky, its rays sliding in through the blinds and streaking across the bed.
When Katy woke up for what felt like the umpteenth time, she heard noise in the kitchen. The morning sun had risen well into the sky; the birds chirped from nearby trees. Instinctively, Katy spread her arm over the empty side of the bed. Finally, she connected the dots. She the slid out from under the comforter and grabbed a sheet to cover her body. She headed toward the kitchen.
Brennon felt a little pep in his step for this early morning. Never in a million years would he be up at nearly 6 o’clock, let alone in the kitchen trying to whip a small breakfast together. Even when he was teaching middle school, getting up this early had proven to be a real drag. However, doing this for Katy was different. He enjoyed being creative – looking through his cabinets to see what he had to work with. “Okay, I can use those biscuits in the fridge then make some eggs and a few sausage links. That should be good enough.”
Brennon pulled the necessary pans out of the cabinet and placed them on certain stove burners. Carefully, he cracked the eggs then put the biscuits in the freezer.
“Well, isn’t this a nice surprise?” Katy’s voice startled him. He hadn’t heard her make a single noise from the bedroom.
“Oh, I didn’t hear you get up,” Brennon said. He watched as Katy stepped into the doorway. The way the sheet hugged her curves made him lick his lips with temptation.
“I know,” Katy said. “That was the point.” She giggled. “Good morning.”
Brennon stepped over to the doorway and kissed Katy softly. “Well, good morning to you too.” When he went back over to the stove, he noticed Katy still standing in the doorway. “You can sit down...in the sheet and all.”
Katy laughed then did just that, pulling out a chair and carefully sitting down. Brennon noticed how she looked around the kitchen. “Yeah, I know my kitchen isn’t the tidiest of places.”
Katy shook her head and pressed her lips together as if she were trying to suppress a laugh. “I didn’t say anything.”
“Yeah, y
ou didn’t say anything,” Brennon said. He flipped the sausage links over. “But your face was saying it all. So, let me ask you… Are you one of those clean freak people?”
“No, I wouldn’t say that,” Katy said, noticing dishes piling up in Brennon’s sink. “But I am a little neater than this… I would say.”
Brennon shrugged. “Yeah, well… I’m trying. Maybe you could show me how.”
“Show you how?” Katy said, looking at Brennon as if he were telling jokes. “As if you don’t already know how?”
“Maybe I don’t, Katy,” Brennon said. “Maybe I’ve been waiting all my life for a woman like you to come along and show me.”
“Oh, whatever, Brennon,” Katy said, laughing. “You’re a man and I know guys don’t really take care of a household like a woman does.”
“Oh God,” Brennon said, purposely being emphatic. “I see you’re one of those women.”
“One of those women?” Katy asked. She crossed her legs under the sheet. “What kind of woman am I?”
