It's been exactly three hours since Ace and I kissed. Shortly after we got out the pool, we went to bed.

SEPARATE BEDS, ya nasties!

I look over at my alarm clock and groan. It's three am and I'm not even tired.

All I can think about is Ace.

I can still feel the warmth that his lips left.

I can still smell is delicious and intoxicating aroma.

I want nothing more than to go to his room and continue are little make out session.

My cheeks heat up just thinking about it.

What is going to happen if the morning where we see each other?

Will it be awkward as fuck? Will he turn his nose up at me?

.........Does he regret kissing me?

What if he was drunk?

No.....WHAT IF HE WAS-!

"Enough!" I mentally scold my anxiety for worrying me.

I yawn, stretching my limbs and enjoying the pop my joints make. I fix my PJ's covered in red and pink hearts.

I'll just have to face Ace tomorrow like a big girl. Tomorrow is the future and I need to stay in the present.

Eww....I sound like my mama.

Sighing, I tuck myself under the covers and close my eyes.

One sheep.

Two sheep.

Three sheep.

Four sheep.

F-!

"Fuck this!"

I hop out of bed and throw on something comfortable. Not as comfy as my pajamas but still a lazy outfit.

It's almost five am now. I shrug at my alarm clock as if it's alive.

Miss Alarm Clock is a total bitch!

I walk out my room, not before sliding on my unicorn house slippers.

I'm such a child, I know!

I go to the cute kitchen the house has and open the fridge. We all agreed earlier that we would be up by six.

Six am is when the sunrise would be beautiful. That is what the Yosemite Park Rangers said.

In the fridge we had milk, eggs, bread, strawberries and tomatoes.

Maybe I'll make them breakfast. I'm an excellent cook.

Not to brag but when I took cooking lessons in junior high, I always had the best dish!

I start to brew coffee and eggs. I decide we will have strawberry pancakes, fried eggs and coffee.

Right when I'm about to mix up the batter I feel a presence behind me.

I jump out of my skin and swing the pan, trying to hit whoever is behind me.

"Whoa." Ace ducks my blow and yanks the pan out of my hand. "Chill Rapunzel."

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and grab my fast pumping heart.

I'm about to speak but my eyes wander over to the stove.

The eggs!

The damn eggs.

Ace follow my eye sight and gives me a little smile. He grabs the spatula and puts the eggs on plates.

"T-Thanks." I stutter watching him crack an egg and pour spices in it.

Hot dog!

A man cooking is sexy!

"Not a problem, Princess." Ace responds with a little shrug.

I gulp remembering what happened last night. As if Ace knows what I'm thinking about, he smirks.

Not just any smirk......A classic Ace smirk!

He slowly walks in front of me and all I can think about is him.

My brain turns to complete mush when I'm around him.

He smell. his body. His face. His cute little right dimple when he smiles.

He tilts my chin up with his finger with hooded eyes.

"Harlow." He says softly. I love the way my name rolls off his lips.

"Yes....." I say breathlessly.

He strokes my piping hot cheeks with a smirk.

"You forgot to add sugar to the batter, doll."

With that he lets go of my face and turns back around to work on the eggs.

Sighing, I shake my head.

Aww man, I wanted another kiss.........

I add sugar to the mix and stir like crazy.

Chef Harlow reporting for duty.

Hehe.......duty......

I stand next to Ace and pour the cake batter into perfect circles.

We both take a step back and admire our work as we wait for the food to cook.

A hand sneaks around my waist and pulls me to a muscular body.

I give Ace a shy smile as he does the same.

Less shy and more smug though.

His green eyes hold mirth which confuses me. He smirks at my bewilderment.

"All of a sudden your shy? When I first met you, you had no problem cussing me out and putting me in my place." He starts to explain while running his fingers through my hair.

I lean into his hand and close my eyes at the good feeling.

"I can still curse you out, you fucking pretty boy." He laughs, pulling my chin towards him.

His lips are just so kissable.

His lips hover above mine, but pulls back when Cal makes a entrance.

"What's up fuckers?" He makes his voice really low and less.....well......gay.

His actual voice and warm hugs is why I love that dude.

I stare, trying to control my blushing cheeks for betraying me.

Cal huffs and whines. "You guys are supposed to finish the vine!"

".................."

"Okay fine......Wait a hot sexy second." Cal smirks, looking from me to Ace.

He gasps and lets out a excited squeal. "Omg. Did I interrupt kitchen sex!?"

"N-!" I start to deny the false claims but Cal goes on.

"How romantic! I wish I had that in my life. Omg am I going to be a uncle so-!"

"NO! Damnit Cal. Just no....." I cover my flustered face with my hands making Cal giggle .

I hear Ace snicker too, but he still rubs my back to comfort me.

I twiddle with the necklace Ace got me for Christmas.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention he got me something. It is a simple but elegant and cute necklace, that I haven't took off, since it was placed on my neck.

Calix winks and blows me a kiss before walking off.

I'm going to kill him later.
