"Alrighties then, make yourself some berry pancakes and eggs." Drake said and laughed. He finished his apple and tossed it into the garbage. "Need me to get you anything, Chloe?"
|
"Depends. How high up do you keep the flour and the like again? Otherwise I should be alright." Chloe giggled, smiling in an easy manner to him.
|
"Uh... flour... right here," he reached up to a rather high cabinet he could hardly reach himself "But, from now on it shall be in this cabinet." He pointed to a cabinet directly in front of him and smiled cheesily.
|
She smiled easily, nodding to him. "Well thank you very much. I'm lucky to have help right now, aren't I?" Meanwhile, she went to the fridge to get some milk, eggs and berries. "Yay. I have all I need right here! Thank you again for letting me use the kitchen."
|
"It's not a problem at all, you like cooking so why not have a kitchen to have fun in while your...." Drake didn't know how to say it without it seeming offensive so he just didn't finish his sentence. "Uh-uhm want me to go somewhere so I don't get in your way?" he asked slightly awkwardly and blushed afraid he'd have to leave.
|
She laughed. "You don't have to worry- I already understood what you meant. I really am glad to have a kitchen around that I can use even if I can't work." She smiled, clearly not really thinking much of it. "It's still hard, I'll admit, but it's not like I can't do anything, right? I can still do a little. And no, you're not in my way. I like talking when I work. I'm sorta odd like that. Makes it easier."
|
Drake smiled "Sorry I'm so odd with things like that, I get awkward when I try not to offend people," then he laughed slightly nervous, "Oh, okay if you like talking while you work then I'll just sit here", he sat in a little corner chair of the kitchen which he swiveled around so he could watch Chloe cook. "So, how are you today, cutie?" he laughed less nervously and smiled when he stopped laughing.
|
Chloe looked around, seemingly trying to find Janice due to the statement. Realizing she wasn't there, she laughed nervously and smiled to him. "I'm fine I suppose... How are you doing so far yourself?"
|
"I'm doing quite well." Drake smiled.
|
"I'm glad. It's always good to start a day by feeling well. Makes the day lots better!"
|
"Yes it definitely does!" Drake smiled, "So how's your breakfast coming along?"
|
"Almost done," She noted softly in response. She began to put the food on a nearby plate. "Wanna try some?"
|
"Nope. My apple is good. I think I'm going to just make some coffee, Want some?" Drake got off his chair and put the coffee maker going grabbing one cup and waiting for a moment for Chloe's response.
|
"Sure. Thanks!" She didn't want to admit it, but she was a coffee fan on occasion- it helped her keep awake when she was still hazy.
|
Drake pulls the second cup out of the cabinet, "No problem." The coffee finishes brewing and he pours it into the cups, "how many sugars and milk or cream?"
|
"Cream, no sugar." Chloe smiled, taking a bite from her food and giggling. "Food always comes out best when you put your heart into it, and fresh ingredients really help too. I'm so happy it came out really well!"
|
Drake nodded and added a teaspoon to Chloe's coffee. Then brought the rest of the cream over to the table he sat down next to Chloe, "I wasn't entirely positive on how much cream so here's your coffee and the rest of the cream." He nodded at Chloe's statement, "Fresh is an understatement." Drake laughed, he was just kidding.
|
"Do you grow the strawberries yourselves?" Chloe looked at him with a smile, taking her coffee and adding a small bit of cream, stirring it, then tasting it. She continued until it tasted proper for herself. "Alright. Perfect now. Thanks!"
|
"Yes we do, right outside the window." he pointed garden that was built on a roof just outside the window. There were vines of grapes and tomato plants and strawberry pots all over the roof intertwined with herbs in all different size and color pots. Drake looked back to Chloe and her coffee and smiled, "You're welcome."
|
"That explains why it's especially tasty. Home-grown food is always the best." She smiled easily, nodding in response as she sipped at her coffee.
|
"Indeed." He looked out the window then back at Chloe again, "After you're done eating want to go and check on Janice?" he inquired.
|
"If you don't mind, I am rather worried..." Chloe looked down at her food soon after, thinking about Janice and worrying some more over what had happened.
|
"Being worried is understandable for a parent." Drake nodded with concern on his face for Chloe and Janice, "She'll be fine, like the doctor said, 'Some sleep and medicine and she'll be fine soon'." Drake put his hand on Chloe's, "When your all finished eating we can speed down there and see if she's awake."
|
Her cheeks grew a light shade of pink due to his gesture as she shook it off at her head, smiling to him easily. "We don't have to rush. If we take our time, she'll get more sleep, right? If she's still sleeping, anyway."
|
"Makes sense, whatever you want to do, we'll do." Drake smiled and took his hand off Chloe's slowly because he realized it was still there, he blushed slightly.
