I was woken up when my nose caught something good. Aside from Duane's intoxicating scent, the smell of garlic was so wafting in the air that it pulled me out of the bed and saw Duane setting up the table with delicious looking breakfast.
My eyes were shining seeing the foods on the table and my mouth was watering, especially at the fried rice. I was drooling while looking at it, from the rice to the eggs and bacons.
"I hope you don't mind me using your kitchen." Duane said as he removed the apron from him and hang it on the chair.
"Not at all. You made this?" I asked, surprised and amazed at the same time.
Dos and I never uses our small kitchen except when we cook instant noodles or making popcorns and nothing else. It was the first time someone used it and made something this good.
"Who else?" Duane grabbed two cups and turned to me. "Coffee?"
"Hmm." I nodded and went to the rest room to wash my face.
I was so excited as I sit on the dining table and eat breakfast. Usually, Dos and I would only have coffee and bread in the morning during weekends because we are too lazy to make anything so it was a first for me to sit in front of the table with eggs, bacons and everything.
"I think I was right for letting you stay the night here." I said as I taste the fried rice and I couldn't stop myself from letting out a moaned of how good it tasted.
I never expect it to taste this good especially the garlic. I really love to eat rice in the morning to be honest.
"Why fried rice?" I asked.
Duane looked at me. "Isn't this your favorite?"
I was taken aback because Duane knew. "You... How did you know?"
Duane chuckled. "I heard once when I saw you at the pack land."
I frowned because I never recalled that I ever mentioned anything about it. "When?"
Duane smiled and I was starting to get pissed by his blinding smile.
"A year ago." He said and I was surprised and at the same time it made me laugh.
"A year ago?" I chuckled and shook my head. "Seriously?"
"I took note of it." He said.
I only nodded but deep inside, I felt touched how he took note of my likes. I continued to savor the rare breakfast without talking and Duane was also quiet as he ate. We were in the middle of eating when I noticed that Duane haven't eaten enough more than I already ate and saw him staring at me making me choke on the food.
He handed me a glass of water and I thankfully received it and gulped it all.
"Careful." He said.
"Why the hell are you staring instead of eating?" I said after settling the lump on my chest.
"I'm only glad and wished for every mornings to be like this." He said and thinking about it made my face heat up.
I wasn't thinking of the bigger picture, but looking at it now. We both looked like a married couple. I still couldn't believe what was happening. I already accepted Duane as my mate but I couldn't imagine doing things that mates would do with Duane yet. I know the time would come but my mind is not yet prepared no matter how prepared and eager Remus was.

Duane was washing the dishes while I was cleaning the table when Dos showed up.
"Wow, you two looked like a newlywedded couple. So sweet." Dean teased and I was fighting not to throw the chair towards him.
"Newlywed your ass." I said and watched Dos threw himself to his bed then played with his phone.
I frowned as I looked at him. Something in his aura was different. I think I missed something interesting last night.
"Where did you spend the night?" I asked and Dos looked away from his phone the turned to me, sitting up on his bed.
"At Jean's." Dos said, smiling.
I chuckled hearing him. "Dream on."
Dos chuckled. "What? I did spend the night in his house. You can ask him tomorrow. That Harry was so pissed off seeing me there, his wolf was kicking in."
I chuckled as I sat beside Dos not believing that he did spend the night at my cute June's.
I listened at Dos of what happened and also said the we had been calling him the wrong name. He was called Jean instead of June and I didn't know Jean was pronounced that way.
"You just missed breakfast." Duane said after drying the dishes and walked to where his coat was.
"Nuh, I already eat." Dos said. "Are you going?"
I turned to Duane. "Already?" I blurted out and I heard Dos cleared his throat making my ears heating up and turning red.
"Yes. I have something to do." Duane said and wore his coat.
Dos kicked me on my ass. "Go see your mate out."
I glared at him as I stood up.
Duane said his goodbye to Dos.
"Don't forget to give Duane a goodbye smooch." Dos teased and I gave him a middle finger before I went out after Duane.
I walked him out of the dorm and my mind was thinking about what Dos said. As if I would give Duane a goodbye kiss. It's not like we would never see each other again. Duane turned to me.
"Thank you so much for letting me stay the night here." Duane said.
"No problem. Thanks for the breakfast also. It was good."
Duane smiled. "I can always make breakfast for you if you want." He said and I don't know why but I felt my face heat up thinking what Dos said that we looked like newlyweds.
"I don't want to get used to it."
"You should be because we'll be living together in the near future and I plan to spoil you until you couldn't live without me by your side.." Duane bluntly said making me blush and turned around thinking that someone might heard him.
"Are you crazy? Like that will ever happen." I said and Duane only chuckled.
"I guess it's time for me to go." Duane said and I nodded.
My mind was fighting between calling him back to give him a goodbye kiss or watch him walk away.
Pussy. Remus said and I really want to kick him.
"Duane!" I called and Duane turned almost immediately the moment he heard me.
"Yes?"
I was too nervous to walk towards him so I beckoned my finger for Duane to walk back and he did like an obedient pup.
I grasped a handful of his collar and pulled him closer towards me and smacked our lips. It was supposed to be a peck but Duane placed his hand on my lower back and pulled me closer to him, his lips moving on top of mine.
Duane sucked on my bottom lip before he let go of me smirking and my face was blushing so hard.
