The Best Morning
681 Words
I wake up the next morning, a little groggy. I remember the night, but it almost seems like a
dream. I get up to get ready for the day, after showering I put on a robe and head for the kitchen. To my surprise Scott is on the couch still asleep. Before I have a chance to turn around to go put clothes on I hear “Good morning.” A little embarrassed to be standing there in front of him in my robe I barely get out a “good morning” back. “ I’m sorry I didn’t realize you would still be here I’ll go put something on.” I turn to go back to my room, but he grabs my hand and stops me. “It’s ok, it doesn’t bother me if you are
comfortable stay in that.” He says as all the blood rushes to my face, I can feel my cheeks getting hot.
“What do you want for breakfast? Or do you have to leave?” I don’t want him to leave so I’m
hoping he will stay for breakfast. “I can stay, I’m happy with anything.” He just made my day with that reply. I start making pancakes and bacon, I am so happy he decided to stay. I wish I knew if he was just being nice or if he was interested in me. I want to make a move, but I’m so scared of rejection especially since I will have to see him again. When the food is done I bring him his plate and as he grabs it his hand
brushes up against mine. My heart races and I notice he is looking at me and not moving his hand. He grabs the plate and sets it on my coffee table then grabs my hand and pulls me down to sit next to him. “I need to confess something to you.” He tells me. I can feel my heart racing and my palms are sweating, scared of what he is about to tell me. I just nod my head waiting to hear that coming here was a mistake or that he has a girlfriend. “I’ve liked you for a few years now, but your brother would kill me, so I’ve never acted on those feelings.” He says. “ I don’t want this to make things awkward between us I just thought you should know.” He continues on. I’m speechless, I don’t know what to say. This is what I’ve hoped for but I’m too shocked to speak. I sit there knowing I need to say something. “Are you serious.” Is all I’m able to get out. He nods yes. “I’ve felt the same for so long, I was just too scared of rejection to say anything.” I tell him. He takes my hand and we sit there not really needing to say anything, both content on the silence. We eat our breakfast both happy with how the morning has gone. “I should get going, I need to go home and change. Can I see you later?” He asks me. “Of course I would really like that, we can talk some more about what is next.” I reply to him while opening the door for him to leave. He give me a hug and I watch as he walks down the steps and into his car.
My phone rings not long after he leaves and I see Emily pull up on the screen. “Hello” I answer.
“ How was your night? Did you get home ok? Did you meet anyone after I left?” she wont give me a
chance to answer any of her questions to anxious for my response. “My night was good, I did get home ok, and yes I guess I kind of did.” I try to reply before she asks me anything else. “Ok, I’m coming over so you can give me all the details.” She says before hanging up. I guess I better get dressed before she gets here because I’m going to have to tell her all about what happened this morning.
