Chapter 112: Making Pancakes Together (Part 1)
After returning to our room and preparing to sleep, Becca and I were snuggling together on the bed. Becca was smiling from ear to ear. She still looked wide awake.
I hugged her a little tighter and commented, "that turned out really well, huh?"
Becca giggled in excitement. "Yes! Apparently you were talking to my Father behind the scenes to set this all up!"
"Well, he wanted to talk to me in private about you and I could tell he had always cared about you even if he did things the wrong way, so I persuaded him to set things right."
This time, Becca was the one to squeeze me tighter. "Thank you, Nick. I really can't put into words how much this means to me. I'm so happy! I never even dreamed my reality could be this good!"
"You know Becca, just seeing you happy fills me with so much warmth. I'm glad I could help put a smile on your face."
Becca looked up at me with big wide open eyes. She was obviously energized. "Alright Becca, time to sleep…"
"I have too much of an adrenaline rush from everything that just happened! I'm still wide awake."
I patted her head. "We have to go to sleep now or you will not be able to wake up early tomorrow morning to make the pancakes for your family…"
Becca was flustered, "I know…but the moment I close my eyes, I want to jump out of bed and move around."
I put my arm firmly around Becca's waist. "Alright, close your eyes and I will sing you some lullabies to help you relax and fall asleep."
Becca grumbled, "Nick, I'm not a baby…"
"Haha, I know, but in my world we used to have this type of music people would specifically play to help them fall asleep. I used to use it when I was having trouble sleeping because I was stressed out because of school or work. I can't make that kind of sound, but even a simple calming lullaby should help you wind down. Now come on, close you eyes."
"Alright..."
Becca was obviously skeptical and her brow was furrowed as she closed her eyes. I softly sang her a song and used my finger to trace the bridge of her nose. After tracing her nose up and down a few times, her brow started to soften and she looked much more relaxed.
People don't realize how much tightness they build up throughout their body because of everyday stress and excitement. The only way to relieve it is to take time to specially pay attention to your body and relax.
After about 30 minutes of singing lightly and rubbing Becca's back, her breathing started to slow as she was smiling happily in her sleep. I too was started to get tired, so I placed a soft kiss on her forehead before closing my eyes as well.

Once I woke up in the morning, I lightly shook Becca awake. She was still groggy, so I left her in the bed as I went to change. I returned to Becca still sitting on the bed, but she was stretching her arms to wake herself up.
"You ready to try really cooking for the first time, Becca? Last time, you just stirred the spoon for the syrup. This time I'm going to let you make the whole recipe while I just supervise."
Being reminded of the task at hand helped to energize the sleepy Becca. "Pancakes are not too hard of a recipe, right? They can be made by beginners?"
I nodded my head. "Of course, if I could perfect them with my low level of cooking skill, they can't be that hard. Probably the easiest possible dish to start for a beginner would be scrambled eggs, but pancakes aren't too far off."
Becca breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright…sometimes I think you have too much faith in me haha."
I laughed, "it's because you are so capable! You haven't failed in anything I had faith in you with yet haha!"
Becca blushed at my compliment, "you can really say anything without any embarrassment…"
"Hehe, I just like to have my thoughts put in the open for my lover. I want to be read like a book or so the saying goes."
Becca jumped out of bed excited to give it her best shot. "I'll get changed real quick and we can head out."
I reminded her. "Make sure to wear something that you are okay with getting messy. You might be caked in flour by the end."
Becca nodded her head and ran towards the dressing room. Soon, we arrived at the kitchen. I asked one of the chefs to bring me the ingredients we would be needing.
He soon returned with everything, but was reluctant to leave. "Sir, you don't have to do anything. I'll make the food and you and my Lady can sit and relax!"
"I must refuse. Becca and I want to make this food ourselves. Please leave this area for us, so we can have some privacy."
The chef couldn't question my orders, so he quickly left us to our own devices.
Becca's simplest clothes were still quite fancy, so I grabbed an apron I found in the kitchen and handed it to her.
"Put this on so you don't actually ruin your clothes."
"Thanks, Nick."
Becca took the apron with a smile. She tied her hair up in a ponytail and tied the apron around her back. She looked so cute in this new style I hadn't seen before that I couldn't take my eyes off her.
She realized I was off in my own world and tilted her head, "what's wrong?"
I blushed slightly, "I didn't expect you to look so cute with an apron and your hair tied up…I was speechless for a second."
Becca smirked at me, "wow Nick, you really can't control yourself. Do I really look that cute?"
She hugged me at my waist and leaned back to look me in the eyes. Our lower bodies were touching and it was hard for me to stay calm. I brought her body to my chest and rubbed her back and arms with big exaggerated motions.
"Don't tease me too much Becca…or I won't be able to stop myself and try to make a move on you right here right now."
Becca started giggling. "Ok, ok, you are tickling me! Haha"
Seeing her laughing so happily, I couldn't help cracking up as well. "Ok, let's focus on making these pancakes."
We separated and Becca muttered in a low voice, "just to let you know, I like that sometimes you can't control yourself around me. It really excites me…I feel that way around you too sometimes, that you are so handsome it's hard to resist…"
"Hehe, that's good. I can't wait till you really loss control on me."
