Chapter 11
The next morning I woke up to the smell of bacon. But Susan was still sleep next to me and her mom wouldn't be back till tomorrow. So I got up and carefully walked downstairs trying not to make a sound. I then walked toward the kitchen picking up an umbrella on the way. I walked into the kitchen and see Richard standing by the stove.
"Richard?" I said confused.
"Your up... good... I made breakfast." he said smiling at me.
"Wait a minute... I thought you went back to California." I said sitting at the table.
"I decided not to go. You think I would give up that easily." he said handing me a plate of food.
Richard has always been a great cook. When we would go out he would either fix me a snack before or after our date. When I was with him I went up two sizes... but he didn't mind... he liked the extra meat on my body.
"What do you mean you decided not to go?" I asked stuffing a fork full of pancakes in my mouth.
"I mean just that. I'm not leaving. I came here to be closer to you and if me being close to you means being friends I'm okay with that." he said sitting down next to me.
"But the other day you-."
"Forget what I said the other day. I was just tripping cause you were with another guy."
"You know I'm still with that other guy." I said putting the fork down and wiping my mouth.
"Yeah... I know... I'm okay with that. Just remember I'm here if he doesn't turn out to be who you thought he was. I was your first." he said lightly kissing me on the lips. "So until then we're friends." he said smiling and walking out the kitchen.
I finished my breakfast and went back upstairs.
"Susan wakeup!" I said shaking her.
"What?" she asked wiping her eyes.
"Where was Richard last night?" I asked her.
"At David's... why?" she asked sitting up.
"He's downstairs... he made breakfast." I said sitting on the floor.
"He made breakfast! What did he make? Is it good? What am I saying of course it's good." she said jumping out the bed and running into the bathroom. I followed her.
"The other night did he tell you what happened?" I asked her.
"Of course... you know we're like this." she said crossing her fingers.
"So you know how he blew up on me about the friend thing." I said.
"Yeah... I told him he overreacted." she said spitting out the mouth wash.
"Yeah... so now he wants to be friends. But then he says he was my first and he WILL be there... if things don't workout with Luka." I said walking back into her bed room.
"So." she said shrugging. "Big deal. He said he would be your backup... and if that's what my stupid brother wants to do I have no problem with it." she said pulling off her pyjama top.
