When I awoke the next day, there were beautiful white lilies in front of my door. I blushed and knew Jason had bought them for me. I can get use to this, but how’d he get them in here? Paul must have something to do with this.
I opened my bedroom door and I could smell Paul making my usual morning coffee. I inhaled the fresh scent and peaked over the staircase. I couldn’t see him, but I could hear him stirring the coffee to perfection. Quiet as I could be, I tiptoed down the stairs thinking of how to scare Paul, but I saw Jason standing behind him.
“What are you putting in my cup?” I said as I saw Paul pouring some white powder into my coffee.
He jumped in fright when he saw me up so early and then rolled his eyes. I glanced at Jason and he didn’t move. He just stood there with startled eyes and an open mouth.
“It’s just fiber,” Paul whispered with his raspy morning voice.
“Fiber?” I said.
“Yes, fiber!” he snapped and pushed me aside so he could go into the refrigerator. “You told me you were constipated yesterday!”
I blushed and looked at Jason. “Well, not anymore...I got sick last night.”
Paul rolled his eyes and threw a bottle of Mira-lax at me. “It's not harsh on the tummy. I promise. Just save it for next time.”
“You're the best.” I walked over to Jason and he pulled me into his arms. “Hey, handsome.”
“I have a lot of things planned today,” Jason said.
