heavy on his mind. He staggered out of bed and made his way into the
kitchen where he saw Joe holding a knife.
Being brave, Jacob screamed, but Joe laughed as he put the knife on the
counter.
“I was doing dishes and didn’t know where the knives went.” “They go in the knife holder. There. The thing that holds the knives.”
Jacob said pointing to the thing that holds the knives.
“I’m sorry babe. I didn’t mean to startle you. I just wanted to make
some breakfast and when I saw how dirty the kitchen was-” “It wasn’t dirty.” Jacob said defensively before taking a look around.
The kitchen was significantly cleaner now. “Also, thank you.” “It just needed a bit of a tidy, is all. And a scrub down. And I rearranged
your spice rack.” Joe said. “And maybe a few other things but who’s
counting. I figure if I’m going to be spending a lot more time here I should
probably make it more comfortable.”
“You were busy.” Jacob said as his eyes darted around the kitchen. He
was wondering if Joe had set any booby traps in the space. Maybe it was
triggered to kill him the second he showed his little witchy self. On the one hand he knew he was being paranoid, but on the other…Maybe he wasn’t
being paranoid enough!
“Well I didn’t want to wake you up and I figured, why not? It’s not like
I won’t be here again right? May as well make myself at home.” “Yeah…of course…” Jacob responded. “Did you want a coffee?” Jacob
caught Teddy giving him a suspicious eye, but he shrugged it off. “I’d love one actually. You know just how I like it.”
“I trust I do.” Jacob said.
Joe smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
“I’m going to take a shower, should you care to join me…” With that
invitation hanging in the air, Joe wandered off to the bathroom and Jacob
got to work. He grabbed the coffee and pulled a shot.
“What are you doing?” Teddy asked.
“I know going for a truth brew won’t work, but what would? What
would make him not clue into the fact that I’m a witch?” Jacob mumbled.
“What does Joe need right now?”
“Are you going to spike him with another love dose? Another truth
spell? What do you think would be a good thing for him to have now before
