Bekah descended into deep laughter as her mind began to form an image of Chase wearing curlers in his hair and his face covered in makeup. "Yeah, I guess everyone is put on this earth for some reason. I was put on this earth to make people look beautiful and you were put on this earth to feed people." She pulled the warm toast out of the toaster, relieved that it wasn't burnt. She knew the proper way to make toast, but occasionally she would put it on too high of a setting, causing it to burn. "Taylor's at Kylie's house for the weekend," she said, placing the toast onto a couple of paper plates. "She's Kylie's godsister and some of her siblings are staying at their house. Not only that, but she really likes this one guy and he lives at home instead of on campus. His family lives right next door to the Howards, so it's the perfect excuse for a visit." She smiled back at Chase. "In other words, I'm going to be all by my lonesome this weekend."

Chase raised an eyebrow and a small hint of a smile graced his face as he poured the scrambled mixture into the hot pan. "I think you're right, I was definitely put on this earth to feed people and if Taylor is out for the entire weekend and you don't mind, I would love to stay the weekend with you, gives me the best opportunity to do what I do best." His smile grew wider. "And that's cook you delicious foods three times a day." He winked. "And even though I don't think you need to watch what you eat, I've got a few calorie conscious meals in mind, so you don't feel like you need to spend the next week in the gym." He honestly didn't think she needed to watch what she ate at all, in fact, he thought she was absolutely perfect and wouldn't be at all disgusted if she put on a few pounds. "How is Kylie?" He hardly knew anything about her, and wanted to know more about her, simply because she was his girlfriend's best friend. "She's graduating this year right? Or is she the same year as Reese?"

Bekah smiled and wrapped her arms around him from behind. "I don't mind at all. In fact, I missed you so much that I was fully prepared to try and talk you into staying overnight. So glad you don't need convincing." She kissed his neck and then quickly moved away, realizing that it was dangerous to kiss and touch him so close to a hot stove. "Don't worry about the healthy stuff," she said, grabbing the milk and pouring it into cups. "You've converted me. I'll be perfectly fine living off of pasta and cheesecake this weekend. Plus, I've eaten a lot of unhealthy stuff down at the dining hall." A sad smile came over her face when he asked about Kylie. She hated that her best friend was going through so much and that she was hardly around to help her. "Yeah, Kylie's a senior. She's graduating really soon. She's doing okay. It's just that she's been through a lot with losing her house and transferring to a new school, among. That's why I'm trying to visit more often, even though I don't really belong there. I've been such a lousy best friend." She put the milk back in the fridge and breathed a heavy sigh, attempting to hold back her sadness.

Chase was amazed to hear that she would be more than happy to eat unhealthy or at least well. "I will see to it that I feed you pasta and cheesecake at least once this weekend then." He matched her frown when he started talking about Kylie's unfortunate luck. "Did you want to go visit her or invite her over for dinner or something? Maybe get her spirits back up?"

Bekah couldn't resist hugging Chase one more time. "That's alright," she said, pulling herself away from him a second time. "I just got off the phone with her a little while ago. She's hanging in there. I try to call her if I can't visit her. I'm definitely going to swing by there at some point this weekend though. Maybe I'll go tomorrow and give you some extra time to study." She was so touched that he cared enough to help Kylie, but she knew perfectly well that being around a happy couple like her and Chase would only make Kylie feel worse. "How's Reese doing?" she asked, grabbing a cup of milk and sitting on the couch.

Chase smiled. "Well if you change your mind, I don't mind cooking for more than the two of us." He turned to the stove and checked on his eggs, they were just about done. He switched the stove off and unwrapped the cheese he'd found blanketing it over the fluffy eggs. He gave them a quick stir and then plated them. "For the record I've done more than enough studying and speaking of Reese she's been helping Jaymen study and if she knew I was cramming my brain anymore this weekend, she would punish me somehow." He grinned. "She'd find a way to keep me from cooking or something and it would be on Thanksgiving or something when my dad and I tee off." He chuckled. He placed two pieces of toast on their plates and carried them to the living room so they could eat. "But um, I could find something else to do while you visit Kylie. Maybe I could cook something up and have it ready for when you get back."

Bekah grinned and took his hand in hers, using her other hand to eat the cheesy eggs. "Well in that case, I'll make sure that you don't study at all this weekend. I'm sure we'll be able to think of something to do. Feel free to raid my refrigerator, restock my refrigerator, cook....whatever you need to do to make your more comfortable" She squeezed his hand tighter and took a bite of toast. "You and your dad compete with cooking?" she asked with a slight chuckle. "Thanksgiving must be a lot of fun at your house. I'm sure its very filling too. I can feel myself getting full just thinking about it."

Chase finished chewing before he replied. "It's all friendly competition and Reese and mom are the judges or you know if we have family over they get a vote too. Most of the time it's a draw." He shrugged. "We don't get really nasty about it because we're both good and there's a better chance we might ruin the food if we got too into the competition. But it is a lot of fun. Maybe you could be one of the judges at our next competition." He took a few bites of toast and swallowed. "Fourth of July is coming up we'll be cooking out, not entirely sure what I'm making but I'm sure it'll be good."

Bekah took a few sips of milk and nodded happily. "I'd love to come," she said. "I haven't celebrated Fourth of July since....I can't even remember. Will there be fireworks involved?" Years ago, before she had moved to Mabtown, she had gone with her parents and siblings somewhere to witness a firework display. She couldn't remember the year or whether or not it was Memorial Day or the Fourth of July. All she remembered was how spectacular the display looked. She smiled at the memory and ate a few more forkfuls of eggs. "So what else did you want to do tonight?"

"Good it's a date." He smiled, lifted his glass of milk to his lips and finished it off. "There might be fireworks, but if my family doesn't fire them off, someone in town probably will. There are plenty of patriotic citizens in Riverside." He smiled again. "Reese will be happy to have you around too."

Bekah smiled and finished off the last of her eggs, licking the tiny bits of cheesy goodness from her lips. "Wonderful. I'll be happy to have Reese around too. I really haven't gotten a chance to see her since I've moved here." She breathed a heavy sigh, silently cursing busy school schedules. She made a mental note to try and make her schedule for the next semester at least somewhat similar to Chase and her other friends. After drinking the rest of her milk, she rested her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around him. "So...." she began again, wanting to know what he had wanted to discuss with her. Even though she was really curious, she didn't want to push the issue too much.

Chase wrapped his arms around her after pushing his plate away from the edge of the table. "So..." He repeated, knowing exactly what she wanted to know. "I was talking with my room mate Jack before I came over and he was telling me about how he's engaged to his girlfriend and how he doesn't know where he's going in any aspect of his life accept for his relationship and I expressed to him how I was exactly the opposite." He ran his fingers through her hair and continued. "See, I know exactly where I'm going to be in five years, I'll be working with my dad and working on taking over the restaurant or starting my own... But I don't have any idea where you and I will be... I want to say we'll be together, but our relationship is still new, I'm really happy with you, but not yet ready to commit." He paused, it didn't sound good at all. "I was thinking, this town is small, any number of your friends may be engaged or becoming engaged in the next year or so, Reese even." He swallowed, feeling a lump form. "I don't want to jump into something because people around me are doing so, you know, but I also don't want you to feel like it won't ever happen...does that make any sense?"

Bekah sighed and nodded her head. "Yeah, it makes perfect sense," she said, snuggling in closer to him. "I mean, we've only been official for a few months. Although it would have been much longer if I hadn't been so stupid....." She pulled away and put her head in her hands. No matter how happy she was, she would always hate herself for attempting to push him out of her life. They had lost nearly an entire year together, a year that she would never get back no matter how hard she tried. And while she had occasionally enjoyed a harmless fantasy about getting married to him someday, she knew that it was a long ways off. Given her previous behavior, she wouldn't blame him if it never happened at all. Who would want to marry a girl that had a habit of constantly pushing him away? "I love you," she said sincerely, leaning over and pecking him on the cheek. "And I love what we have now. I'd never try to force you into anything. I hope you know that."

Chase nodded his head. "I know you wouldn't force me into anything and I wouldn't want to force you into anything either. I might encourage you to try new things in the food category, but other than that I wouldn't. I certainly don't think you're stupid, no matter how unfortunate our time apart happened to be. I wouldn't exactly blame you for it, I didn't get up the courage to come get you so technically it could be both of our faults." He held up a hand. "I'm going to change the subject because I don't want to start finger pointing. I love you and if you decide you need to push me away again because I'm not doing something fast enough, that's perfectly alright." He grinned. "I'll just keep coming after you until you realize that everything will happen the way you want it eventually." He winked and kissed her lips, pulling back for a second to give her a chance to let it sink in before he started to kiss her more fully.

Bekah couldn't believe that he thought her being gone was his fault. After all, she was the one that had left him behind. It didn't matter whether or not he came after her; she was still the one that had left in the first place. She was about to dispute this until he changed the subject. "I'm not going anywhere ever again," she said, moving closer to him. "I missed you too much." She wrapped her arms around his neck and returned the kiss, a little more deeper this time. "I know I keep telling you this, but you're so amazing," she said after pulling away. "I mean, really. Most guys wouldn't care enough to keep trying as much as you did." She got up and started collecting the dishes to put in the sink.
