Emilie woke up the next morning with an ache in her neck. She sat up straight on the couch, massaging her neck. She peeked at Logan. He was still sleeping.
"He looks so innocent. I hope he doesn't let the hurt get the best of him." she thought and smiled at him.
She got up and went to the bathroom, tiptoeing, so she doesn't wake him up.
She did her daily routine and came out. Logan was still sleeping.
"I'll make something to cure his hangover and then wake him up." she said to herself and nodded.
She silently walked outside the her room and closed the door gently behind her.
In the kitchen, she took out an apple from the fruit basket and cut it into pieces.
She placed them in a plate and kept aside.
She took out some milk from the fridge and picked a banana from the fruit basket.
She put these into a mixer and added a tablespoon of honey.
After the banana and honey/ hangover shaker was completed, she placed the plate of apple pieces and and the shake in a tray. She carried it upstairs to her room carefully.
She opened the door with her legs and entered. She kept the food on her side table and sat on the  edge of the bed.
"Logan" she said and shook him.
He opened his eyes a little.
"Hey! ugh" he said and tried to sit up straight. Emilie helped him sit.
"This headache!" Logan whined, holding his head between his hands
"You should have seen this coming yesterday before drinking so much, idiot" Emilie scolded him and hit him lightly on the head.
Logan turned his lower lip and made a sad face, like a baby.
Emilie smiled.
"You'll never grow up." she said.
Logan nodded.
Emilie chuckled this time.
She gave him a bottle of water to drink.
After drinking water, she gave him the plate of apple pieces.
"Without brushing?" Logan questioned.
"I don't want you to faint in my bathroom due to this headache. Eat it and then drink this shake. Don't whine about it because it is tasty. I will inform Peter while you freshen up." she said and got up from the bed.
"Finish up fast and get ready. I want you to look smart and cute, like my best friend is. Okay?" she said ruffling his hair and smiling.
Logan grinned and nodded.
"I'll make the breakfast. You know, in a way of showing gratitude." he insisted.
"Can't wait to have some delicious food."  Emilie said and rubbed her hands together, looking excited.
She went downstairs. She dialled Peter's phone number. He instantly picked it up.
"Hello Emilie. Um...do you know where Logan probably is?" Peter asked.
"Good morning Peter. Yes, I know where Logan is right now. He is with me, at home. Actually, last night he came home and told me that his car broke down. It was pretty late, so I let him stay at home. He also had fever so I gave him the medication. I'll send him in an hour or two after he's had his breakfast." she explained and lied.
"Oh. Okay. If he's with you. I am not worried." said replied, relieved
"But shouldn't you be at school?" he asked.
"Yes I should be. But as I said Logan had fever last night, I wanted to make sure it's nothing serious. So I thought I would stay at home." she said.
"Okay. Thank you very much Emilie for taking care of him." he said "Where are Lewis and Chloie, by the way?"
"Mom and dad should probably return by the evening. They have to another city, because mom had an appointment with a client there."
"Okay. I think we should have a dinner sometime soon." he insisted
"Yes, totally. Dad was also saying about this. Goodbye Peter. See you soon."
"Bye sweetie. Take care."
Logan came inside the kitchen, to where Emilie was standing.
He looked much better than yesterday, his natural glow having been returned.
"Your car broke down at night so came to my house. It was pretty late. You also had fever so I didn't let you go to school today."
Logan looked confused at first but understood later.
"Okay. Got it. Now let me make something."
Emilie stepped back and sat on the kitchen island, behind Logan.
Logan was very familiar with this kitchen, so he knew where all the vessels and ingredients were.
He took out a bottle of vanilla extract, cinnamon powder and nutella from the wall shelf. He opened the fridge and took out two eggs and some pieces of bread.
He made the batter for preparing French toast. In a while, the kitchen was filled with sweet smell of brown  nutella French toasts.
Logan opened the fridge and took out milk and banana from it.
He added milk, nutella and banana to the mixer and soon  nutella banana shake was ready.
He poured it into two glasses and served the nutella French toasts in two plates.
He held out a glass of shake and a plate of toast before Emilie.
"Nutella breakfast!"
She took it and both started having it on the kitchen island itself.

Hello!
Late update again. I know. Blame my weak immunity not me. I actually caught cold due to seasonal changes and then everyone knows what. I doesn't get better, it starts to spread more and cause more diseases.
I have again followed the tradition of breaking the chapter into parts. I actually didn't want to make it very big. Because Emilie's gonna talk to Logan about some really serious and emotional stuff. So it will have some drama. I will hopefully update tomorrow the next chapter.
Till then, enjoy this chapter and the monsoon.
If have any questions about anyone's past or want some more sneak peak, you can comment it down.
I also wanted to know from which part of India you all are, like the states. If you want you comment it down below. As in for me, I am from Uttar Pradesh.
Keep supporting.
Love,
Kartiki ❤
