Soft Pretzels

You peacefully woke up to the sound of birds through your window The light of the sunrise of the morning peeked through making your room dimly lit. You sat up and stretched feeling a nervous excitement in your stomach. Taking a deep breath you get out of bed and glance at the T.V. before walking out of you room.

Heading downstairs all you can think about is tonight and you couldn't help but smile. Make your way to the kitchen to find your mom making pancakes. They smelled delicous.

This must be a sign of a good day because your mom rarely has the time to make homemade food. I mean sure the food she bought was good, but nothing compared to what she can make.

"Good morning y/n" she said while flipping a pancake. "Good morning!" You reply with a big grin on your face as you sit down. "How'd you sleep?" Mom asked putting the pancake onto a plate and pushing it towards you. She got another spoon of batter and put it in the pan.

The pancake infront of you was so perfect, just the right amount of fluff and the perfect soft texture. Sure it was a bit burnt on the top, but it didn't matter because you were going to pour the syrup on it anyway.

"I slept pretty good.." you said smiling softly as you grab the syrup from the center of the counter. You poured an unhealthy amount of maple syrup on your pancakes and ate it without a second thought.

I wonder if Ben likes pancakes.. you think to yourself while taking a bite. It was a delicous pancake... was much better than the frozen ones you usually had when your mom was at work.

You took another bit of your pancake and Mom flipped the pancake in the pan. "So... are you excited?" She asked glancing over at you. You look up with a confused expression until you remember. You feel a tint of blush appear on your cheeks. "Oh um.. yeah?" You said quietly. 'Yeah' was an understate ment for how you felt. You wanted to jump up and down and cry all at the same time. This was one of the most interesting things that had happened in a long while. And you felt like you deserved it for waiting such a long time.

" 'Yeah'? Just yeah? Is it just not a big deal or...?" She looked over at you smugly. "Well I mean... you know.." you felt your cheeks get warmer and you forced down another bite of pancake. "It's just..." you laugh nervously to yourself.

"Oh come on I know it's more than just you two going as friends.. and I'm sure he's a nice boy..." she said taking the pancake from the pan. You felt your face become on fire, "Mom! Oh my god..." you cover your face with your hands.

"So it is a date.." she said with a smirk, "Well we guess I'll have to keep an eye on him...". She put the pancake onto a big plate before putting more batter into the pan. "No.. it's just.. no.. it's not a...date.. it's different.." you said trying to explain yourself. "Oh my gosh y/n!" She said laughing to herself, "You're allowed to have a boyfriend... I may be crazy but I'm not crazy..." she said with a sigh. "You can go on dates.. you can go to parties.. you can go out and live your life.." she flipped the pancake in the pan, "but if you ever need me to come get you I'll always.. no matter what.. I'll get you. Even if it's on the other side of the planet I swear"

Her reassurance made your heart melt, "alright...Alright.. its a date.." she said softly. Your mom laughed to herself because she knew she was right. "Well.. just ba careful is all I ask.. don't do anything crazy..." she said, "like drugs or drinking and driving or-" she started before you cut her off, "Yeah, yeah I won't" you smiled and finished your pancake.

"Do you know when he's supposed to come here? You know for your..date?" She smirked and took the pancake out of the pan and placed it on the plate. "Oh.. u-uh.. no I don't actually..." you laughed nervously, you had just realized you had never really set a specific time. Your mom raised one of her eyebrows, "Well.. I suppose it will be in the evening? So.." she glanced at the clock. "You have about eight or nine hours until he might show up.." she took the dirty bowl from the batter and placed it into the sink.
