The witch nodded silently and cuddled against him, staying there and letting his promises replay in her head until she managed to fall asleep. And that was where she stayed until morning. When the sunlight started to hit their bodies the witch was laying on her stomach, one arm under her head hand on Jakes, and her other arm on his chest, sheets kicked off in the heat and her shirt ridden up to the small of her back. Mari was out like a light, finally comfortable enough to sleep.
But it was nearing nine o clock and all the stars on the ceiling had gone out.

It wasn't long before Mari was fast asleep once more, Jake dozed off soon after, holding the witch in his arms until she moved away from in her sleep. The Quidditch star didn't wake until almost nine, a great feat for the man who was always normally up and out of the house by seven. A lie in never hurt though.

When the young man woke up, blurry eyed from sleep, he checked the clock on Mari's bedside and let out a soft yawn. Looking to the witch, he noted how the bed spread had left Mari's body and carefully pulled the sheets back over her. Saving her the embarrassment of waking up to know she was bearing all to him. Not that it was a bad sight, but Mari didn't need to know about such thoughts.

The Quidditch star remained still, shifting on to his back and bringing his foot up to make his knee bent up towards the ceiling. The plague of being male and only just waking up was also one of the many things Mari didn't need to know right now either.

After sorting himself, Jake looked over to the witch who was sleeping, rubbing his thumb over the back of her hand gently. "Hey, sleepy head. Time to get up and make your best friend something to eat!" Jake teased the witch. Personally, he could do it himself, but moving around the witch's flat without asking didn't seem right. He could wait, anyway.

The witch grumbled into her pillow at his words but turned around, squinting up at him.
"mhm. And why is that?" she smiled. The witch was a little disorientated at first, but woke up properly soon, sitting up.
"How'd you sleep? Apart from the whole...ordeal. What do you wanna eat?" She ran her fingers through her messy curls and smiled. She was grateful that he'd stayed the night, even if it had been hard.

With the witch slowly waking up, Jake smiled at how sleepily she was. Watching people wake up was rather cute, in a way, but Jake knew that telling Mari she was cute was likely going to write his own death sentence. "Because I'm hungry." Jake replied with a slight smirk, as if there was any other reason he'd want good.

"I slept well. It's... nice sleeping next to someone." Jake told her softly, the comfort was always welcome to the Quidditch player, because despite how he acted for the most part, he'd always appreciated a cuddle. The mention of food brought a rumble from his stomach and Jake let out a chuckle. "I think that's my stomach's way of saying whatever you have on offer!" Jake told the witch with a soft chuckle.

"But, most importantly, how was your sleep apart from the one incident?" Jake asked the witch, not making to move from the bed just yet, he was comfortable with lounging around for a while.

"mhmph." Mari answered, "It is nice." she leaned back again, somehow unwilling to get up. "I slept well, apart from that. You're a good pillow." she turned around to lay back on his arm. "How about eggs, toast and bacon?" Marilyn stretched and groaned, "Thanks for staying with me."

"I slept well, apart from that. You're a good pillow."

"I'm glad I'm good for something!" Jake teased the witch, wrapping his arm around her. Neither one of them seemed intent on getting up right now. Jake wasn't overly bothered about that, either. "But mostly that you slept well. I... don't know how to make this a full time solution though. You have work... I have work... Maybe we can do it at weekends? And hopefully that can make some progress?" He suggested.

"How about eggs, toast and bacon?"

"Sounds perfect." Jake replied with a grin, before rolling out of bed. "Just popping to the bathroom and then I'll come and help you." The Quidditch star told the witch, grabbing his clothes and heading towards the bathroom like he'd said to get dressed.

"Yes finally a use for you." she teased, hugging him back. and settling back into bed. "Weekends sound good. Maybe that ministry shrink will have an idea.."

"Sound perfect? Great then you can make it." she grumbled, pulling the sheet up and yawning as he left to get ready. When he was gone she stared up at the ceiling and whispered a warning to herself as she caught herself having watched his...lower waist as he'd walked away. "Don't, Maritza," she warned, "Don't go there." it was the softest whisper that no one else could hear, but it was enough. And she got up, grabbed a pair of shorts and another guys tshirt from her uncle and pulled them on in the bedroom, pulling her wild hair pack out of her face.
She used the bathroom after him and then went to the kitchen. "I make eggs, you make bacon?" she asked smiling.

Jake had padded to the bathroom, taking a little longer than might have been necessary to try and find some deodorant that wouldn't smell too girly. He'd given up after a quick search and merely borrowed Mari's instead. It would do for a few hours, and the Quidditch star would rather smell of flowers than sweat.

Mari had joined Jake in the kitchen not long after, the young man had already found the eggs and bacon from the fridge and was trying to locate the bread in the cupboards.

"I make eggs, you make bacon?"

"No problem! If you tell me where the bread is, I'll make the toast too. Aha!" Jake answered his own question a moment later, taking down the loaf of bread and extracting four slices. Jake knew the witch didn't eat much, but whatever she left, he would most definitely clear up. Turning to the oven, Jake turned on the grill, noting a tray in there and pulling it out. Thankfully it was clean and a moment later he was at the side, laying out the bacon on it. "Two pieces of bacon enough for you?" Jake asked softly, looking to Mari for a moment for confirmation.

"Yeah, that's perfect." she replied, starting up the eggs and letting a comfortable silence fall. They prepared and cooked and she may or may not have thrown a pinch of flour at him in the process, innocently looking away afterwards.

By the time she was done with the eggs she'd remembered an owl she'd recieved the day before. So the witch bit her lip before asking, "Hey Jake, I don't know if you've already heard of it, but there's a Ball at Salem coming up? And I've been put on Auror Duty." she grinned, proud that she'd been deemed competant enough to do so, "And I was wondering if you'd be my...escort, for the evening. As friends, obviously."

As the bacon cooked, Jake readied the toast, buttering it lightly and putting a light heating spell to keep it warm. The meal came together quite nicely, and eventually, they moved to sit, Jake tucking in to his food hungrily. The Quidditch star was quite impressed with their work, even if he had slightly overdone the bacon. The eggs were fantastic though.

"Hey Jake, I don't know if you've already heard of it, but there's a Ball at Salem coming up? And I've been put on Auror Duty."

"Course I've heard of it, Victoria owled me the moment it was announced!" Jake told the witch, shaking his head. "Wants me to take her to get a dress, which I just know is going to be pink and princessy." He told the witch, before smiling at her news. "Well done, getting put on duty is a big thing!"

"And I was wondering if you'd be my...escort, for the evening. As friends, obviously."

Jake's fork paused halfway to his mouth as he looked at the witch, before nodding. "Sure thing! I'll be there anyway, being a professor and all." Jake told the witch with a smile. "I'll meet you there, yeah? I have to help with the preparation and things." He suggested, knowing he'd have much and more to do that day.

"Well done, getting put on duty is a big thing!"

"Thanks," the witch smiled, scooping up some eggs.
"Great, I have to be there early anyways, for a meeting and debriefing. I can't get rid of this feeling I have, that something's going to happen. It's not normal to have aurors at a school ball. So just, be prepared, okay?" Mari added after drinking some of her water. "And I'm glad Victoria is excited, I look forward to seeing her again." Marilyn may not like seeing people from before, but Victoria was such a ray of sunshine it was impossible not to adore her or not feel happy when she was there.
And so they spent a pleasant morning talking about Victorias dress, auror training, quidditch training and the like, relaxed and comfortable, before Jake went back home and Marilyn got ready to go to the quad to train and then to the shops to look for a dress with only a slight feeling of dread.
