"Say my name"

A beautiful and elegant-looking blue envelope was lying on the floor when Gigi arrived at the house she was staying in for the meantime. She bent down to pick the letter and walked around the house to search for Crystal. She passed by Pumpkin who went crawling to her feet, making her smile before picking the fluffy pet and bringing her with her as she looked for the red-haired woman.

Arriving at the kitchen doorway, she saw Crystal in front of the stove, cooking dinner for them. She leaned on the door frame and watched as the woman focused on the food she was making. "Love, someone left this by the door."

"What's that?" The red-haired woman glanced for a moment before going back to cooking. "Oh, it's for Rosé and Denali's wedding. They texted me about that too a few weeks ago."

"Are you going? You know what this means? Dress shopping!" Looking into Gigi's eyes, Crystal could see the excitement as she mentioned one thing that she enjoyed doing a lot, to be surrounded by gorgeous clothes that looked extremely great on her, the red-haired woman thought.

A smile on her face appeared as she observed the taller woman before shaking her head. "Do I really need new clothes? Is it that big of a deal? And why do weddings have to be a big deal anyway?"

"Why not? Isn't it a celebration of love?"

Crystal looked at Gigi who was just getting up on the counter and sitting on it, their pet cat on her lap snuggling on her. "But why the need to waste a lot of money if you just want to tell the person you love them?"

Gigi stared at her for a moment, somehow in disbelief that Crystal was even questioning about weddings. "Umm..." She scrambled through her mind and Alisha's words came to her, the one the blonde said to her when they were having the same argument a few while back. "It is to celebrate your love with your loved ones. They can come visit the couple and celebrate with them, to show how much the other person means to you..." She trailed off, remembering the look on the blonde's eyes as she listened to her, trying to convince herself that one day they would also get married, just like what Alisha wanted.

The red-haired woman noticed how silent Gigi had become, walking closer to her. "Do you think you'll ever get married?"

"Why not?" She snapped out of her thoughts, surprising the both of them with her answer.

"You and marriage? Out of all people? Wow." Crystal was left dumbfounded when she looked at Gigi for answers. This one free-spirited woman who made her promise not to fall in love with her and who seemingly was afraid of commitments was talking about something permanent like settling with someone for the rest of her life was a surprising thought for the red-haired woman. She didn't know why but her chest clenched a little bit due to the fact that knowing there was an end to them meant that they can't spend the rest of their lives together, even with how much she tried to persuade her to stay.

"Maybe one day, I might," the tall model in front of her whispered, staring once again into the void while petting Pumpkin.

"Yeah, sure. I need to be invited to this historical event." Crystal joked, poking the tip of Gigi's button nose.

The taller woman stared at her for a bit, a joke popping into her head. 'Why won't the bride be invited?' she thought to herself before shaking her head as Alisha's face came to mind once more, as if her subconscious was reminding her that she had a lover back home and that she still needed to decide about her former proposal. A sigh escaped her chest just at the same moment when Crystal positioned herself in between her thighs, standing in front of her as she continued sitting by the countertop.
