He had just woken up, told me morning and had sat there for more than a minute exactly like this. Maybe he was waiting for me to make breakfast. I cleared my throat. It was time to put my plans into action.
“You‘re hungry right?” I asked and cleared my throat again when I thought I sounded a bit too high pitched. I was terrified of being rejected.
He moves his hands away from his face and stared at me like I was an alien.
“Well judging by how it‘s morning and I haven‘t eaten since yesterday afternoon then yes I am hungry.” He states.
I cringe inwardly. I had not made dinner for him lastnight, or myself. Crap this was not how I win over his heart again. He must be angry at me for leaving him hungry. 1
“Sorry I didn‘t make dinner lastnight, I was–”
“Crying?” He cuts me off with a raised brow.
His blue eyes travel from my eyes down to my lips then back to my eyes again. Something flickers again behind the blank look in his eyes but yet again I am too slow to read it. 1 My cheeks heated up with an embarrassing blush. “How did you?” I drew out. I lift to tuck my messy hair behind my ear.

Blake what happened to you wasn‘t your fault. Neither was me crying your fault. I‘ve been emotional for a few weeks now and a small smile, one that didn‘t reach his eyes. I cleared my throat. “So how about breakfast? I know a great diner we loved to go to when we were teenagers. They make the

“No, I remember always eating breakfast with my parents. I don‘t remember a diner at all. Austin would always come remember? And you hated video games.” I sucked my lips between my teeth. It was like his brain created an entire different life
He presses his lips. “I did?”
I nodded. “Yeah you loved boxing instead.”
His eyes widen, brows raising. “Boxing! Was I good?”
I cracked another smile. “Yes you were in fact you were the champion. Everyone who got in the ring with you feared you. You were that good.” I giggled.

I reach over to the table beside me and grasp my car keys and purse. I tried to act cool and collected at hearing how easy going he sounds right now but inside I was a mush.
