Chapter 35
Tuesday October 17th
Mallory's POV

"Good morning my girlfriend and my girlfriends, girlfriend" Eli greeted the both of us from behind the kitchen counter. At the notice of our presence in the room, he slid two already made mugs of coffee across the counter to the barstools. As I approached closer, the delicious smell of pancakes and bacon filled my nostrils.

Eli loved to cook.

I've still been staying with the two of them because my car is still in the shop waiting to be fixed. Every morning, Eli is up and chefing it up in the kitchen before V and I even awake, and each morning I get a fulfilling meal. It's much better than the granola bar or dry cereal I'm accustomed too when I'm in my car. It's an act of friendship that both of them refuse to let me decline, so I scarf down every last bite.

"Morning Li" Veronica went over and greeted him with a good morning kiss, and asked if there was anything she could help with. Eli being Eli told her to sit down and enjoy, and then slid two beautiful looking plates over to the both of us.

"Thank you very much" I said graciously. I always wonder if they truly know how much I appreciate them. I hope that they do, because I would be nowhere without them.

"Looks good babe" V smiled at her food, first taking a bite of strawberry that he fixed on our plates as well.

"I wonder if I can get a private chef for my car" I chuckled, taking the first bite of pancake and practically moaning at how good it was.

"Flipping pancakes on the hood of someone's car is probably one of the more normal things you'd see in New York" Eli chuckled, sitting down next to Veronica.

I laughed and continued to eat, complimenting his cooking as I always do. It was sweet that he loves to get up in the morning and fix us breakfast. It was just another way to tell how much Eli loved Veronica in everything that he does.

The two of them had their barstools practically touching, Eli cracking another dumb joke, but it made Veronica throw her head back laughing. Through broken laughter, Veronica scolded him to stop before she started to choke on her food, grabbing onto his leg for balance. Eli was looking at her with a big smile on his face, his eyes glimmering with love through every blink. It was so obvious how they felt about one another.

"Jeez" Veronica clutched her chest, catching her breath. "My stomach hurts now"

"Relax V" Eli giggled at her.

"I'm good, I'm good" Ronnie nodded and wiped her mouth with a napkin. "Oh! Also Mal, I keep wanting to ask. How are things with Dr. Asshole?"

My fork fell out of my hand, clattering down onto the plate. I shifted in my seat, trying to appear nonchalant after my mistake. I still hadn't told the both of them that Harry and I didn't just stop at one slip, or that his wife almost caught us in the act. I was still trying to figure it all out for myself, and although I knew they wouldn't judge me, it just hasn't been something I've shared yet. I know I will eventually, they're my best friends, and it's hard to keep anything from them.

"It's fine" I pursed my lips. "Just, working"

"Yeah?" She asked out of genuine concern. "He isn't being more of a dick just because you had sex?"
