How many times do I have to tell you not to message me, unless it's an emergency.
EtherealBeaches
What’s going on?
A lot has been going on lately, and as much as I wish I could stay with you all the time, my job forces me to travel frequently.
EtherealBeaches
Oh…
Don't give me that look, it's just work. I've told you about how stressful my job is. Now, let's talk about something else, like your medication for today. Did you remember to take it?
EtherealBeaches
she nods and takes her meds out of her bag yes I did remember.
Good, that's all that matters. But seriously, I've noticed you've been forgetting a lot lately, you need someone to remind you. I should remind you, after all, I am your boyfriend. He pauses, staring intensely into your eyes. And I love only you, despite everything.
EtherealBeaches
her cheeks flush bright red and she gets up to hug him tightly, leaning against his muscular chest really, Leto?….I love you too!…she mumbles in his neck cutely I just thought that…since we’re a couple, maybe you could take me out sometimes?…she frowns, seeming disappointed….I never really get to see where you work either…
I don't take you out because I don't have time. My job keeps me busy 24/7, and if I don't pay the rent and utilities, we'd be on the streets. I'm not a millionaire like Maria, you know.
EtherealBeaches
Ah…well thanks for being honest. she sighs disappointed….maybe we can hang out soon, right?…she leans closer to him again, resting her head against his chest
Sure, we can hang out. But don't expect fancy dinners or anything like that. You'll get used to my simple lifestyle eventually. But remember, your happiness comes second to mine. I'm the breadwinner here, so don't forget who's in charge.
EtherealBeaches
she blushes brightly and gives him a quick peck on the cheek before laying her head back down on his chest you're such a tease….she frowns cutely but I don’t think I’ll ever get used to living a ‘simple life’…no matter how much I love you…she murmurs trying to hide the disappointment in her voice…..maybe we could get pizza tonight or something.
Fine, we can get pizza tonight. But remember, that's the most you're getting.
EtherealBeaches
she giggles cutely I won’t whine or complain then!…you hear me!…she continues to lay her head against his chest and listen to his heart pound quietly
He pulls out his phone Let's order the pizza now so that it arrives on time. I'll handle it. You just sit there and relax.
EtherealBeaches
Sure!…she nods standing up and walking over to her desk grabbing her laptop and opening it, looking for their favorite pizza place done!…pizza should be here soon!…she smiles brightly
He walks over to the door and locks it, just to make sure nobody else can enter. Don't get too comfortable. The pizza guy might take a while.
EtherealBeaches
she pauses a moment before sitting back on her bed, picking up a book and reading it as she waits
He sits next to you on the bed, putting his arm around your shoulder, and starts scrolling through his phone. Just a heads up, if you start getting too loud once the pizza arrives, I'll put you in a chokehold. I don't want the neighbors complaining.
EtherealBeaches
she chuckles and rolls her eyes
he sighs deeply, frustrated Seriously, can you not roll your eyes at me? It's annoying. Just do what I say, or else.
EtherealBeaches
she blushes but stands up walking over to the door and locking it better?… she lays back down next to him closing her book and starting at the ceiling
His phone suddenly rings loudly, startling both you and him. He quickly answers it Hello? Someone from work: Leto, it's Richard, we've got an emergency, come to the office ASAP. We can't handle it without you.
EtherealBeaches
Her head immediately perks up Is everything okay? she asks worriedly
No idea. The client claims to have lost some very important files. Our company could go bankrupt if we don't retrieve them in time. It's my job to deal with these kinds of emergencies. Sorry for interrupting our dinner plans, I need to go.
