Sweet Waffles On Valentine | Freewrite

Debbie, snuggled deep under the duvet, sniffed again and again. Her pert nose could pick up the rich aroma of her favorite morning cereal. Sniff. She tossed and turned. Was she at home? Then she remembered in her sleep…

After a very busy day at work and closing late the night before, she rushed to Ben's place as agreed, and fell asleep as soon as he began to massage her foot.

They had been dating for the past three months and this was the first time she had slept over in his place. The cereal aroma was followed by a richer aroma of hot chocolate and vanilla. Her mouth watered in her half-asleep state but she was too lazy to open her eyes.

"Baby. Happy Valentine's day!" Ben whispered softly into her ears.

Debbie smiled, blinked open her eyes slowly to gaze into the lovely ocean blue eyes of her boyfriend. He was so beautiful it astounded her that they are in a relationship.

"Hi," she whispered back. "Breakfast in bed? What a treat." Her eyes widened in surprise at the small spread of sweet waffles with strawberries by the side, scoops of vanilla ice cream on top and chocolate trickled all over it. A tall glass of orange juice was by the side. It was a rich, mouth-watering sight.

"Ben! Oh my, this is lovely." She gushed sitting up and leaning her back on the headboard. She flushed as Ben grinned, placed the small table on her thighs and dropped a kiss on her lips.

"I'm glad you like it. Now, eat up and then I'll eat you up!"

Debbie couldn't blush a deeper shade of red if she tried. It was a valentine celebration to remember.
