Uh… no way. We still have every month for the rest of our lives. I can totally still one-up you.

But seriously. Thank you for everything. I love you.

I love you too.

Kiss me.

You’re perfect.

I so win at month-and-a-day-versaries.

FACE TO FACE → NY ROOFTOP (6/4)

[ For their month-and-a-day tradition, Erica sent Ellie on a scavenger hunt around New York (of course she did). The hunt took her to each of Erica’s favorite places, as a romantic introduction to her home. Ellie drank in every experience, collecting single roses from someone at each stop along the way. Erica thought of everything. By the time Ellie arrived at her final destination– the Wright family’s apartment complex– she had enough time to reflect on the past three months as Erica’s girlfriend. They’d managed to fill their time with sweet memories and a blanketing sense of comfort– Not to mention the massive strides they made by moving to NYC together. She was simply high on love as her feet carried her to the rooftop, where Erica waited with a luxurious array of foods and a table for two. Ellie zeroed in on her and slowly inched closer, squeaking a bashful greeting. ]

…..Hi.

[Erica had never been one for receiving grand gestures of affection or love-- she never knew how to respond to them. But, she had always always been one for giving them, which is why she was standing the roof of her own home at this current moment, waiting for Ellie to find her way here. She hadn’t been up here in, well, it would be years at this point and she’d been extremely pleased to know that nothing had been changed or moved in her absence. It was exactly the way she wanted it. She wanted to show Ellie her New York, her home; what was now their home.

After what seemed like an eon of waiting, Ellie made it to the top. Standing up from her seat and wearing a positively shit-eating grin as she neared her girlfriend, Erica could feel her chest swelling with pride. She just knew that she had done a good job on this occasion, which was a welcome change to the last two celebrations they’d had.]

So. Do I win the award for best girlfriend? I think I do. This is my first go-around with being a girlfriend to a girlfriend. But I think I’m doing damn pretty well. Aren’t I?

Erica: Breakfast out. Can you pick up some bagels at the bakery near school?

Ellie: Wait, where are you? 

Ellie: I mean, yes, I can stop by the bakery but I don’t know where you are.

Erica: I’ll tell you when you get to the bakery. I’m still moving right now.

Erica: You should wear that dress and sweater combination that I like, today.

….Okay. 

[…]

It tastes like nail polish remover.

Alcohol tastes like that at first. Do you want to keep drinking it? If not, I’ll take it.

Face to Face → Isabelle’s Party

Yes.

Then I’m ordering you to try it.

Face to Face → Isabelle’s Party

What? No. I meant….Yes, I’ve never had alcohol.

Do you want to try it?

Face to Face → Isabelle’s Party

….Yes.

Did you just lie to me?

Face to Face → Isabelle’s Party

But you told me to lie.

Because if my parents found out they’d be annoyed. Not because you’re going to get into trouble.

... Have you ever had alcohol?
