CONTINUATION:
Kiefer POV:
I freshened myself up. I came out of the bathroom and found Jay pouting while sitting on the edge of the bed. I went over to her and asked her
Kiefer: Why is my baby pouting?
Jay (pouting): You are not letting me go downstairs
Kiefer: But you are sick
Jay: But I don't have a fever *takes Kiefer's hand and puts it on her forehead*
Kiefer: I can't judge like that
I leaned in and touched my lips against her forehead after a few minutes her temperature was normal. I was about to tell her it was normal, when I saw her face. She was nuclear red, had wide eyes and her lips parted slightly. She is definitely flustered. I wanted to kiss her, but I knew she wouldn't let me, because she is sick and she doesn't want to infect me, even though I would kiss her while she is having the Corona Virus. So, I just kissed her whole face except her lips. She was giggling.
Jay: Why did you kiss my forehead?
Kiefer: I was checking your temperature. It is a Turkish way of checking temperatures and I can judge the body temperature better through that method. (A/N: Arafta fans!!!)
Jay: So, you have kissed another girl's forehead?
Kiefer: I haven't had a girlfriend. To whom would I have done that? *voice turning a bit sentimental*I have only done that to Mom
Jay kissed my forehead and said: Don't worry, you have me now
That made my mood a bit better
Jay: Now I am helping you make pancakes!
Kiefer (warning tone): Jay...
Jay (with convincing face and voice): I will help you, no matter what
I knew she is impossible to convince especially when she is sick. Tss she is stubborn, but MY stubborn!
Kiefer: Fine, but you are doing the light work
Jay: Deal!
I picked her up in bridal style and Jay shrieked
Jay (blushing): W-W-What are you doing?
Kiefer: Just because my wife doesn't have a fever. It doesn't mean that I will let you walk while sneezing and coughing.
At the exact same moment, she coughed and sneezed like her life was ending. Jay just sighed in defeat. We reached the kitchen. I put her on the counter and told her
Kiefer: You can tell me the recipe, while I make it
Jay: But-
Kiefer: You want to go to the room again *raising his eyebrows*
Jay gave a mock surrender and she told me the recipe along the way. I put the flour on the counter beside her, because I didn't have enough space in my hands. Which was a HUGE MISTAKE!! After a few minutes, Jay started giggling. I turned around and raised my eyebrows. She was looking like a pufferfish about to burst out laughing.
Kiefer (warning tone): Jay, what did you do?
Jay just shook her head, because she couldn't say anything. Suspicious! I turned around and ran my hand through my hair, that is when I felt a kind of powder. I looked at my hands and it was white. Oh, so that is what she was doing. She suddenly burst out laughing. I went to her, leaned in so close our noses were brushing and dipped my hands in flour, while she was distracted by me being unbelievably close to her. When I saw that she was fully distracted, I took my hand out of the flour and sprayed it everywhere on her face. For a second she looked stunned then a mischievous smile spread on her face, before she could do anything I grabbed a hand full of flour. Jay was throwing flour and I dodged. At the exact same moment, a whine came. Jay and I looked behind me and saw Kieren covered in flour.
Kieren: Oh, come on!!! I just showered!!
Jay and I tried not to burst out laughing. We really did, but then Kiegan came and genuinely got scared of Kieren
Kiegan: AHH! What is a ghost doing here??!!
Now that is where we burst out laughing.
Kiegan: Why are you laughing??!! Am I hallucinating?? Why is there a ghost in our house??
Kieren: COME ON!!!!
Kiegan: Why does the ghost sound like Kieren
Kieren: Because I am Kieren!!
Kiegan (cried): NOOOOO!! MY BROTHER IS DEAD!!!!!
We laughed even more after that! And Kieren just slapped his forehead
Kiegan (yelled): WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING???? Our brother is dead!!
Jay (breathless): Kieren is still alive. He is just covered in flour
I laughed even more after that
Kiegan (sniffled): Oh
Kieren: Oh, this demands war!!
He ran to the packet of flour and grabbed a handful. He threw it, but Jay and I dodged it, so it of course landed on Kiegan.
Kiegan: What did I do to you??!!
Kieren: You thought I was dead!!
Kiegan: You were covered in white!!!
Kieren: SO if I am covered in white, I am automatically a ghost???
Kiegan opened and closed his mouth several times, trying to argue with him, but knowing he has a point, like a goldfish. So, Jay and I burst out laughing again.
Kiegan: Laugh it out!!
After laughing Kieren raised his hand like he is about to ask a teacher a dumb question or is trying to ask to go to the bathroom.
Kieren: Why does it smell like something is burning?
Honestly, I smelt it to. WAIT!
Kiefer: SH-
Kiegan raised his eyebrow and I knew what he meant. Kieren was here and he is too young to hear these curse words, so I said
Kiefer: SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!!!
Kieren: Huh?
Jay looked confused and then she looked at Kieren and figured it out and laughed out loud
Kieren: But Kuya the front door is closed. You locked it last night
Kiegan chuckled at his innocence and Jay was laughing even more. I was just frustrated and cleaned the pan, at least we had more pancake batter. Kieren went to the front door for real and checked the lock 5 times, before he came back.
Kieren: The door is already shut, Kuya!
Jay laughed even more. God, I love that sound!!
Kieren: Why did you make me lock a locked door?
Kiefer (muttered): What to do with this kid?
Kiegan chuckled and said: Kuya was about to say a bad word, but he said to shut the front door instead
Kieren: Oh, how was I supposed to know????
Kieren's stomach growled, so I finally made pancakes properly, while Kiegan and Kieren took a shower.
Kiefer: BREAKFAST IS READY!!!
Kieren: IS IT SAFE DOWNSTAIRS?? I DON'T WANT TO BECOME A GHOST AGAIN!!
I chuckled. I guess now Kieren is traumatised of flour now.
Kiefer: IT IS SAFE!!!
Kiegan: ARE THERE ANY GHOSTS??
I chuckled again.
Kiefer: NOOO!!
Kiegan: OK!!!
Kiegan is now traumatised of ghosts now. That sound like our household! Kieren and Kiegan came down the stairs. We ate, Jay and I washed our faces and we dropped them to school. After that we went home. Yes, we went home, because I took the day off for her to recover a bit more and because I wanted to take care of her more. I cleaned the kitchen, while Jay was in the living room. When I finished cleaning, I sat next to Jay on the sofa.
