dont be happier .16

1 week and exactly 3 days later

nini threw popcorn at her tv, "ohhh! fuck you kanye!" it was ninis 20th birthday, and that meant ricky was forced to watch miss americana with nini. ricky smiled at how frustrated this made her.

his phone buzzed but he ignored it, today was ninis day. nini paused the movie, "i want to open your gift now!"

ricky chuckled, "alright! alright! c'mere," he patted the spot next to him and reached out from under the couch. nini excitedly ripped open the tissue paper to reveal a vinyl. specifically lover by taylor swift. nini smiled at the gesture, "thank you. i love this album."

"i know you do, but... listen to this." ricky put the pink vinyl on her record player, and adjusted the needle to track 2. instead of the catchy first second playing, it was an acoustic version. it was ricky singing it. a blush rose to ninis face, "you learned the lyrics to cruel summer for me?"

"yeah.. and all 17 other songs, but who's counting?"

nini sat down at her piano later that night, and proped her phone up. she thought of the night before last night, and the fun they had. it wasn't sex, they just slept. she liked the way he sounds when he wakes up, it's raspy but cute. and after set the day they kissed, they went on a walk. it was still raining, and ricky gave a homeless guy his gloves. and that was the perfect idea to write a song about. she didn't love ricky, no, that's too soon. but she likes him, and she likes him just because.

meanwhile, ricky is on his phone texting caroline.

gn ricky.
