Creatures of the Dark

"I love you."

"I love you too," Ethan whispered.

She smiled more.

"Let's go get some breakfast?"

She nodded just as her stomach started rumbling.

"I'm hungry too," he laughed getting up. "Might want to get dressed first..."

She nodded and she got up, throwing her pyjamas on over her nakedness and she looked at him as she combed her hands through her hair.

He couldn't take his eyes off her even as he got up and dressed

She blushed at catching him staring.

"Sorry..." he muttered when he realized he was and dressed quickly.

"It's alright, I'm going to go to my room and get changed...I'll meet you downstairs."

He nodded making his way to the kitchen.

She quickly changed before she joined them downstairs. Alice was sat at the kitchen table reading some letters and she looked up at seeing her. "There's a letter from your brother."

Ethan was making coffee and already had toast and eggs cooking.

Hayden sat next to Alice and she pulled out the letter from the envelope and she started reading.

He slide a mug of coffee towards her and then a plate of food. "Alice do you want some?"

"No thank you Ethan, you two do know it's gone lunch time right?" She asked.

Ethan chuckled and shrugged. "No big deal what time it is."

"Half three in the afternoon." She told them.

He glanced at Hayden moving to sit beside her. "We were tired."

"Yeah tired." Alice told them, looking at them. "The walls are very thin you know."

He laughed. "Yeah, we were tired...after." He shrugged.

Alice just laughed.

He grinned laying a hand on Hayden's leg.

Hayden smiled at him.
