The smell of eggs woke RJ from a rather interesting dream. Blinking, he tried to clear the fog in his head. He felt sleepy still, yawned and closed his eyes again, his hands automatically reaching out to the other side of the bed and finding it empty. He briefly opened his eyes again and pulled the other pillow, snuggling into the very smell of it and hoping to get back to the very appealing dream he'd been having about the owner of the said pillow.

That is, until a sound, definitely coming from the kitchen, made his eyes fly open. He looked at the clock at the nightstand, it read 11:30am. He wearily got up, wearing only boxers and nothing else, and tiptoed downstairs towards the kitchen silently.

The tension in his body made way for confusion when he saw Maine, back turned towards him, standing in the middle of his kitchen.

"Good morning, RJ," she said cheerfully without turning.

He tilted his head, he knew he hadn't made a sound, and briefly wondered whether some kind of an inborn sonar are attached to a female's DNA.

He closed his eyes at the ridiculous thought.

"Why are you in your underwear?" His voice still raspy from sleep.

She turned and gave him a coy smile. "Are you complaining Love?"

His eyes moved down her body, remembering the dream he had woken from. When he noticed her socked feet, his lips quirked upwards.

"No," he drawled. "I would never"

"Good." she teased.

He let out a chuckle and watched her turn back towards the stove. Admiring the view for a few more seconds, he ran his hands through his hair and over his face, stepping closer.

"Why are you preparing breakfast in your underwear?" He tried again.

"I was hungry," she deadpanned.

RJ was momentarily distracted by the peaceful look on her face as she busied herself with the food in front of her. He finds it amusing when she confessed that since the lockdown, cooking has a way of relaxing her, but then his brain caught up with the conversation. His brow furrowed.

"Di naman yun ang tanong ko eh," he said.

She looked at him with a relaxed smile. "Did you know I already came from the store? Naka grocery na po ako. Of course I took a shower when I got back. I planned on going back to bed sana but like I said, I got hungry"

RJ gave her a small nod, then tensed, eyes wide open when her answer sank in.

"Wait! Are you telling me na nakalabas ka na at nakabalik ng di ko alam?"

"You were asleep, I didn't want to wake you up since you didn't sleep til almost 5am na." Maine replied matter-of-factly.

He blinked a few times, while Maine grabbed the eggs benedict from the pan and transferred it to the plates. His stomach growled in response, but he held up a hand as she tried to make her way to the kitchen table.

"Bakit di mo ko ginising? Nasamahan sana kita."

"Kasi po late ka na nga natulog, I didn't wanna wake you up." She looked at him and shrugged. "I didn't think you'd mind."

As she walked passed him, brushing closer to him than necessary, he replied, "Late ka na din naman natulog ah. Sa pagkakaalala ko sabay din tayo nakatulog."

He was only slightly offended as she guffawed and said his name in a sultry, yet admonishing tone, like only she could.

"Love, I've already had a few hours of sleep before you woke me up at 3am." she said, staring him in the eye longer than necessary.

Lightly biting her bottom lip probably wasn't necessary either, but RJ was pretty sure that was completely deliberate on her part, and, again, he wasn't about to complain.

"By the way Love, I got you two dozen one liter bottles of your favorite Arizona Tea. I put two in the fridge."

"Oh wow, thanks Love"

"I also got your favorite choclate muffins and the rotisserie chicken. I can make you chicken sandwiches again pag may left overs"

"Love, you're spoiling me."

"You're welcome. Now that's brunch. Eat." Puts his plate infront of him and gave him a quick kiss.

RJ grinned and kissed her back before digging into his eggs benedict enthusiastically.

"Sarap, these are perfect, Love!"

"Welcome my love.. there are two more of those if you want more."

"More, more!"

She laughed as she got up from the table to get him another serving.

He kept giving her side glances as he ate. She didn't seem to mind. In fact, when he'd finished his plate and stretched his back, arms in the air, his eyes roved all over her body unapologetically.

When Maine finished her breakfast and looked him in the eye again, he said, "Love, next time you decide to walk around the house half-naked, wake me up so I can do more than just dream about it."

"Uh love, we already did a lot last night!"

Giving her his signature wide grin, "Hmm.. not enough. Let's do more.."
