Chapter 66 - Call (1/2)
(Next Day)
Felicia woke up to the smell of cooked bacon and eggs. Her nose twitched minutely as the smell wafted into the room. Giving a small yawn she rubbed her eyes as she moved out of the room.
Just before she opened the door she looked at the small mirror next to the door. Making sure that her bed head was gone and that she didn't look a mess, she made her way out. A smile graced her lips as she saw the back of Peter cooking at the stove.
The sizzle of bacon filled the air as she made her way closer. Using her expert thieving skills she got within 2 meters of him, before he stiffened in surprises, knowing that her stealth had been discovered she lunged forwards and wrapped him in a hug.
The way he squirmed when he realized that she was barely wearing anything was a highlight of her day. Pulling close to his ear, she whisper to him. ”Making breakfast? What's the occasion?” Felicia could feel his warm body as his heart rate sped up.
Turning his head to look at her, Peter gave a smile as he brushed off the question. ”No reason, I just felt like saying thanks. You've helped me so much lately. Thought I would do something nice for you.” ”Aww Peter!” Gripping him into an even tighter hug, Peter could just plate up the food as he was losing air.
Releasing her grip, Peter took a few steps back and took in some air. Felicia gave out a small laugh as she sat down at the table, quickly devouring the food. She wasn't reserved when she was with him. ”You know I don't have long to eat this, school starts pretty soon.”
Peter smiled as he poured himself a glass of coffee. ”You'll have to hurry up then.” The grin behind the mug was easy to see as Felicia gave him a pout, finishing off her food. Pretending to ignore him, she turned her head away and started watching the TV with the little time she had.
Always the gentleman Peter finished his own food as he got up and grabbed the dishes. Cleaning them he made his way to his room to grab something. Rummaging around in one of the bags he bought the day before he pulled out a small box.
It was bigger than a ring box, just so there were no misunderstandings. Making his way out, he walked up quietly behind Felicia. Using his abilities he was able to mute all the sound he made as he got closer. Getting right behind her, he raised his hand and put it over her eyes.
Jumping in surprise for a second, Felicia's muscles tensed before Peter spoke up, calming her down. ”Close your eyes.” She c.o.c.ked her eye brow in mock amus.e.m.e.nt. ”Why Peter, what are you doing?” Peter rolled his eyes at her playful tone. ”Please, Cat.” Using his special nickname for her, Felicia reluctantly stopped teasing him and obliged.
Waiting a few more seconds to make sure she wasn't peeking Peter took back his hand and opened the box. *Clack* Her ears twitched as the box un clasped and he pulled out the object. *Dangle* A small jingle sounded out as Peter rested something against her shirt and pulled back her hair back, clasping something around her neck.
Felicia's heart beat sped up as an idea of what it was popped in her head. She titled her head down, making it easier for him as she hid her ever reddening face. Her heart beat was erratic as she felt his hands glide over the nape of his neck.
