CHAPTER FOUR: MORNING, PANCAKES & FLASHBACKS

CHAPTER FOUR


Waking up to a huge headache wasn't an option, it's hell!


I rubbed my eyes and took into my surroundings. I was in a room, a plain but charismatic one, the curtains were pulled close, but the lights by the nightstand were on, so it gave a homy feeling.


The sheets were so soft and velvety with creamy color, the walls were a deep shade of red, to say it simple and clear, it seemed like a humble prince's room.


I left to search the bathroom to freshen up, and I didn't even have to exit the room, because the door next to the awesome walk in closet was the bathroom's door, and beside it was a luggage with a clear:  "VEE's DO NOT TOUCH" on it, so it was Viktoria that took me!


I took a nice bath and took care of my hair, after changing and styling my hair, I spotted a mobile on the nightstand, it was off, so, turning it on, the screen lock was a picture of me and Viktoria three years ago, so it was mine.


I exited the room to find another room across the hall ,Viktoria must be asleep.


I was checking the phone for the time while opening the door to the other room, yeah, it's early, 06:02 am.


Lifting my eyes I found a surprise, should I squeal? Should I jump? No no! The camera! The phone!


I took a picture of what I was looking at, so adorable!


Theo and Abel were sharing a bed, and guess what? Abel is a cuddly person, he was actually on top of Theo hugging him like a cute little monkey, Theo with his sun kissed skin and muscular body, and Abel in the fragile side with his pale skin, They were both shirtless, I wonder what will be their reaction when I show them the picture.


I left them at peace and went to the kitchen to make some breakfast.


But...why am I at Theo's, and where is Viktoria?
I checked for ingredients, and found: Flour, eggs, sugar, milk and chocolate. Let's go for pancakes then!


Preparing the mix, I covered it and put it in the fridge to rest for half an hour, then, prepared the chocolate sauce, and went to make myself a cup of coffee.


I took a sip from the mug, and I felt like I went to heaven and returned.


I sighed observing the city from the huge class window.


What happened? All I remember is after I woke up in the hospital and talking to Viktoria, then, Theo that seemed so tired, I helped him into the bed with me, and I fell asleep, until this morning...for how long was I asleep?


-"Smells like heaven" a husky voice said from the living room.


I turned to find Theo, with a sleepy head and a lazy smile on his face, he was leaning against the wall by the end of the hall that was the enter of the open living room.


-"Morning" he drawled with a yawn that he tried to hide behind his first.


-"Morning, want some coffee?" I asked while walking to the kitchen.


-"Gladly" he said while walking behind me.


-"Ah! There is-" I stopped to say suddenly and felt a chest, a well muscled one bump into my back.


-"Sorry!" I said quick and turned to him.


-"It's okay" he smiled down at me.


We held gazes for a moment, and I felt nervous suddenly.


-"You were saying?" He said.


-"Umm...I prepared a pancake mix, want some?" I smiled up at him.


-"Wow! I forged that you make a hellish recipes! Of course I want, and make it a lot please!" He said with a breathtaking smile that I had to avert my eyes to prevent any embarrassing accident.


-"Take a sit, I'm gonna prepare the pancakes" I said while taking the mix out of the fridge.


-"I have to go wake up Abel, he needs to go for work" he said and went into the hall.


By the time he returned, Abel was dressed up behind him, and a lot of pancakes were ready to be eaten, and the coffee was ready to be served.


-"Morning" Abel said while taking his seat.


-"Morning Abel" I smiled at him but he was busy smiling and drooling at the big amount of pancakes on the table.


-"Don't mind him, sweets are his weakness" Theo said smiling.


-"I don't mind" I answered with a smile too.


-"Thanks for the food" Theo said gratefully.


-"Anytime" I said and started to go back to the living room to sit on the sofa.


-What happened to the sofa?" I said surprised.


I heard choking and coughing and some patting to the back, I returned toward the kitchen counter to did Abel helping Theo with a cup of water while patting his back.


-"What's wrong?" I asked.


-"Nothing, it's just that Theo almost lost his manhood there last evening" Abel said and Theo chocked again on the water.


-"Is that blood?!" I exclaimed and heard violent coughing.


Theo stood from his seat coughing violently while Abel was laughing madly.


-"GOD! What's wrong with you people?" Theo whined.


-"Am I missing something?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.


-"You are missing everything!" Abel said.


-"You were in and out for a week, you woke up for a few moments to fall asleep suddenly without warning, yesterday, I prepared you a hot chocolate, you were drinking it but fell asleep suddenly, and spilled the cup on my lap, happy now?" Theo went on.


I was so surprised.


-"I don't even remember waking up at all" I said.


Theo face went flushed red, but not with anger...


-"Have I said or done something bad?" I asked Theo seriously, and Abel suddenly lost interest on his meal and turned to look at us.


-"Yeah Theo, did she?" Abel said with curiosity.


Theo grabbed Abel from the back of his shirt and lifted him.


-"You've had enough pancakes, it's time to go now" he dragged him to the door, while Abel struggled.


-"NO! LET ME DOWN, YOU BITCH!" Abel went on.


Theo puts him out of the door and slammed it.


-"MY WALLET, MY JACKET, OPEN THE DOOR BITCH" Abel's muffled screams were heard and his banging on the door.


Theo opened the door and shoved them to his chest.


-"And don't forget the BBQ at Suzanna, you can bring your friends" Theo said and slammed the door again.


-"OKAY BABY, I'M GONNA MISS YOU TOO MUAAH!" We hear Abel say with a sharp voice mimicking a female, and then we heard him running.


-"This kid will never change" Theo sighed.


-"So...umm! Are you okay" I asked.


Theo's face went red with embarrassment.


-"Yeah! Thanks!" He said and returned to the pancakes.


I started walking to the living room again, when suddenly, I remembered.


I was living as Sophia for more than a year, but...Sophia! What happened to her?


Then, suddenly, images from that night in the campus came back in flashbacks.


Sophia's smiling face, she was saying something, but I can't remember, and suddenly, the door to our room was opened, two guys came in, I couldn't act fast because Sophia shoved me back to protect me, Someone was coming to me a-


-"HEY! STAY WITH ME! LOOK AT ME PLEASE!" I heard suddenly and my eyes focused on Theo's worried face.


-"Theo? What happened?" I asked but instead of an answer, I received a tight hug, and discovered that I was on the floor, Theo was kneeling by my side while crushing me into his chest.


-"Everything is gonna be okay now, I'm right here now" he kept whispering again and again...and I felt light and at peace, so I relaxed into his embrace.


Sadly...Nothing's gonna be okay Theo.
