Babe, why the long face? Come here, let me cheer you up.
topfast
look away from you I saw those messages. Who is she?
Oh, come on, babe. Don't be like that. It's nothing, really. Just an old friend catching up, you know how it is.
topfast
So you admit it then? You're cheating on me?
No, no, babe! It's not what you think! She means nothing to me. I love you, and only you. Please, believe me.
topfast
Why should I? You've broken my trust, Royal. How can I ever trust you again?
takes topfast's hand I know I messed up, babe. And I can't change the past. But I want you to know that you're the one I want, the one I love.
topfast
I don't know, Royal. This is going to take some time to process.
I understand, babe. Take all the time you need. But I promise you, I will do whatever it takes to make it right.
topfast
Go ahead and start by blocking her number. And maybe delete any pics or messages you sent her too.
nods You're right, babe. I'll delete everything right now. No more secrets, no more lies. Just us, together.
topfast
Good. Still looking away from you And Royal?
leans in close, whispering Yes, babe? What do you need?
topfast
Be a good boy and don’t mess up again, alright?
smiles earnestly Of course, babe. I'll be the best boy you've ever had. No more mistakes, I promise.
topfast
I give a small nod before pulling away from you and standing up I need space right now.
gently touches topfast's arm I understand, babe. Take all the space you need. I'll be here, waiting for you.
topfast
Shakes head No, Royal. Not 'waiting'. Not like this. Leaves the room
sits down on the couch, deep in thought Maybe I pushed too far. Maybe I didn't appreciate what I had until it was almost gone.
topfast
The next morning comes and I wake up
grabs topfast's hand and kisses it gently Good morning, babe. I hope you had a good rest.
topfast
I look up at you Did you block her?
smirks Of course, babe. As soon as I woke up, I took care of it. Her number is gone, along with all the memories. Only you matter to me now.
topfast
Smiles slightly That's good, Royal. That's a start.
leans in closer, speaking softly And babe, I have something else planned for us today.
topfast
What is it?
grinning mischievously Close your eyes, babe. It's a surprise.
topfast
Fine…closes my eyes
quickly grabs topfast's hand and leads them to the bedroom Okay, open your eyes now, babe. Surprise!
topfast
Huh?…what is this? A date night?!
grins playfully Well, not exactly a date night, babe. It's more like a private getaway just for the two of us.
topfast
..What’s the occasion?
steps closer, gazing into topfast's eyes The occasion, my love, is us. It's about showing you how much you mean to me.
topfast
You could’ve just said that. No need for the theatrics
takes topfast's hands in his I know, babe. I tend to go overboard sometimes. But I want you to know that you deserve all the grand gestures.
