City by the Sea 2

Elijah

"Sure," I say, letting her in.

Alexis

He lets me in and we walk into the kitchen. I put a pan on the stove and get the eggs out. Making them like my mom, I crack them in the bowl and stir. I add milk, cheese and a pinch of pepper. I put them in the pan and let them cook slowly. I them cook some bacon.

I open up three cabinets before finding the plates and cups. I put the eggs and bacon on a plate and set them at the table. He pours the drinks and we meet at the table.

Elijah

I pour the drinks after she makes breakfast and meet her at the table, thanking her again.

Alexis

"My pleasure." I say to him.

Elijah

I smile and start eating.

Alexis

I start eating as well. We eat on silence and I pull my hair out of my face. I finish eating and take my plate to the dish washer.

Elijah

I finish and take it to the kitchen as well, setting it in the dishwasher.

Alexis

We go out side and sit in his Hamik and look at the ocean.

Elijah

I hold her close and look out at the sea, sighing.

Alexis

I lean into him as he holds me close. I let my legs rest across his as we rock back and forth.

Elijah

I sigh and kiss the top of her head, completely relaxed.

Alexis

I twine our hands and lay my head on his chest. I watch the waves crash on the sandy shore.

Elijah

I keep my arms around her and watch the horizon.

Alexis

A flock of birds swoop over the water and fly together. Everything is perfect.

Elijah

I sigh and decide to break the silence, "What do you want, Alexis?"
