I woke up in Colby's arms as the sun shined through the blinds. I could tell Colby was still asleep by the way he was breathing, which I thought was adorable. I couldn't understand how someone could be so attractive just by sleeping.

I turned in his arms so I could face him. I knew that I needed to get up but I really didn't want to. I wanted to just lay in bed with Colby all day, watching movies.

I was really excited for the party we were having though.

I watched him for another minute then gently caressed his cheek. His face relaxed even more as I smiled. "Love you." I whispered then kissed his cheek and carefully rolled out of bed.

It made me laugh how heavy of a sleeper Colby was. I feel like I could have lit up fireworks in our room and he would still be asleep.

I went to the closet and grabbed a pair of sweatpants and put them on before leaving the room and going to the kitchen.

Everyone was still asleep but I wanted to make breakfast since we had a long day ahead of us. My dad always told me the best way to start the day is with a good breakfast.

I wanted to make hashbrowns, eggs, pancakes, bacon and toast so I had a lot of work ahead of me. I pulled out the ingredients then got to work. It felt good to be able to cook by myself and with no distractions.

It was very therapeutic.

I got about halfway through before someone came into the kitchen. "Aw babes! You're making me continental breakfast?" Ki said as I laughed and rolled my eyes. "Shut the fuck up. How do you like your eggs?" I asked and slid her a glass of apple juice.

"Scrambled is fine." She said and took a sip of her drink. "Are you ready to get fucked up tonight?" She asked as I turned to the bacon I was making. "Oh yeah, I was born ready." I said and cracked my knuckles.

"Something smells good." Sam said as he came in the room with Kat. "Eat up. We have a long day today." I said as I set the bacon on the counter. "So many people are gonna be here, it's gonna be insane." Sam said as he got Kat some water.

"I'm so excited! I can't wait to meet my future boyfriend." Ki said as Kat laughed. "If you find a boyfriend then you have to move here. That's the rule." She said as I nodded. "She's right." I said as Corey and Colby came into the room.

"Damn, Violet! Why are you so amazing." Corey said as Colby came over and kissed my cheek. "Oh, stop it. Anyone can make breakfast." I said and rolled my eyes as Tara came in.

"Hey friends!" She said and skipped over to sit next to Kat. "Good morning! Here's some pancakes." I said and slid them to her then turned to the hashbrowns, watching them as they finished browning.

I tried to focus on cooking as everyone started discussing party details.

It's not that I didn't care about the party, it's just that I didn't need much to have fun. Just my friends, my boyfriend, and some alcohol.

I finished breakfast then set the hashbrowns out as Jake came into the room. "Good morning, princess." Colby teased as Jake grumbled and sat down. I grinned and sat next to Ki as she turned from her conversation with Kat.

"Thanks for breakfast, V. You really didn't have to make this much food." She said and leaned her head on my shoulder. "It's what I do." I said with a laugh.

I loved being able to cook and have a purpose in the house since I still felt so bad that I was basically living here for free. I forced Sam and Colby to take my money every month but they were always fighting me on it.

I felt like such a freeloader.

We sat around and ate breakfast then cleaned up the kitchen. We woke up pretty late so the girls were already talking about getting ready for the party, even though it was still so early.
