The wind howled against the window and the house creaked. The weather network had been warning the city about the expected snowfall for days now.
Brooke laid in bed, waking up slow. Brooke was an elementary school teacher and having a snow day before Christmas would be a dream come true. All of the kids were so excited that she could barely teach them anything at all. Brooke picked up her phone and quickly brought up her school email. Her inbox had one unread message.
"Attention all staff, school will be closed today, December 11th. Class will resume tomorrow, December 12th. Stay safe and avoid driving if possible." It read.
Brooke smiled to herself and turned off the alarm that was due to go off in 6 minutes. She looked to her boyfriend, Jeff still sleeping beside her. He was all cuddled up in the warm blankets and slow, quiet snores escaped his mouth. Brooke kissed his head and his eyes fluttered open, sleepily.
"Babe, it is really messy out there- I don't think you should go into the office today." Jeff was a computer developer and could really do his work anywhere. In his words, "if there's Wi-Fi, I can do my work." It was typical for him to work from home sometimes but it was rare that they would both be home at the same time. Unfortunately, Jeff still had to do work so they couldn't cuddle on the couch and watch Home Alone for the thousandth time like Brooke really wanted to do. They kissed again and Jeff groaned that he better get up and shower so he can start working.
Brooke watched as her man padded shirtless into the master bathroom which was attached to their room. She heard the shower turn on and could hear her boyfriend humming quietly through the water sound. He loved when he could work from home and avoid all the shenanigans that occurred daily at the office.
Instead of rubbing it in that she could sleep in while Jeff was working, she decided to get up and make him coffee. She started the Keurig and brewed his favorite coffee for him, into a mug that was hilariously large. The smell of the coffee filled the kitchen and the shower turned off. Normally, as per his schedule, he would get out of the shower and style his hair, he'd brush his teeth, splash on some delicious cologne and get dressed. All of a sudden, Brooke dreamed up a plan to make his work morning a little easier on the head.
