“Where the hell are black heels?” You were rushing around your boyfriends apartment like every other morning. It was hard to remember what you had at your place versus Peter’s.
Peter pulled one heel from under the bed, “Found one of your heels, darling. I think my electric razor is at your house. Have you seen it there?”
“I don’t have a clue. When did we stay there on a weekday last? Monday? Found the other heel!” Taking the one Peter found you slipped them on hopping from one foot to the other.
“I gotta go. I’m due in court in less than an hour. Where we staying tonight?” You asked Peter as you grabbed your briefcase. Taking the to go coffee he offered, you kissed his cheek. “So?”
“Oh, let’s stay at your place tonight. The restaurant is closer to your apartment”, Peter concluded.
“Sounds good to me, babe. See you at 6:30. Love you.” Taking your keys from your bag you swung the front door open before you could hear Peter’s response. “Crap.” Knowing you wouldn’t have time to go back to Peter’s to grab the things you’d need for the weekend you shot him a text.
*Can you bring my makeup bag, sneakers and straightening iron from you place please. If you haven’t left yet.*
*Sorry. Left about 10 minutes ago.*
*No problem. It’s the weekend. I can live without them.*
As you hurried into the restaurant, 15 mniutes late, you spotted Peter at the bar. Plopping down on the stool beside him you snagged his drink and took a sip. ‘Well hello to you too” Peter said with a smirk, then finished drink.
“Sorry. It has been a day.” You leaned in a gave him a kiss. “Better now.”
“Table for Stone” the hostess called out.
Peter took your hand to help you from the stool. Once you were sat at the table, food ordered, wine in hand you relaxed a little. “TGIF” you breathed out.
Peter chuckled, “Agreed. So how was the day?’
You groaned and pulled your feet from under the table. “Notice anything..off?”
“Two different black heels. Oh my.” He stiffled a laugh.
“No go ahead. Laugh. I did. Along with everyone else in my office” replying, rolling your eyes. “Icing on the cake? I left the Marcus file at my place the other night. Thankfully my assisstant was able to get it.”
Peter furrowed his brow, “I can’t do this anymore. I’ve been-” You started to interrupt but he held up a hand. “Let me finish. I’ve been thinking. It’s time we move in together.”
Jerking your head up from where you were looking into your wine, you stuttered “Real-really? Are you ser-serious? Is it because I never have what I need and my place is too far from your office?”
Taking your hands in his, he replied. “Well, that and the fact that I want to wake up to you every morning and fall asleep next to you every night.”
“How can I say no to that? Plus, we get to christen a whole new place” you waggled your eyebrows.
“Well that is the most important reason” he confirmed, giving you a wink.
