bo and i spent the rest of the day at my apartment watching comedy specials. mostly george carlin, john mulaney, and bill burr. all were hilarious, by the end we didn't realize how late it had gotten.

"wanna just stay the night again?" i asked "it's pretty late." he smiled before readjusting himself on the couch.

"sure! just gives me more time with you." he was laying on the couch leaving a spot open for me. i joined him, he grabbed the blanket that was folded over the couch and draped it over us. "wanna watch new in town? i haven't seen that one yet." he asked resting his chin on top of my head wrapping his arm around me.

"sure!" bo selected play and it opened with a 'full house' like skit before fading into john on stage. the crowd applauded as he said the opening line.

"in a couple days i'm gonna turn twenty-nine years old and i'm very excited about that." he paused "i was hoping i'd look older by now, but it didn't happen." bo laughed which caused me to smile. i liked his laugh, it made me happy. "i don't look older, i just look worse." john continued "honestly when i'm walking down the street no one's like 'hey! look at that man.'" he briefly paused "i think they're just like 'woah! that tall child looks terrible!'" bo and i cracked up. it was like this the entire time we were happy. things couldn't be better. my phone dinged, it was a text from taylor.

"what'd your gal pal say?" bo said doing a valley girl impression.

taylor: i heard about your run in with rachel.

"bo, was your ex's name rachel?" i glanced up at him as he read taylor's text.

"yeah, how'd she find out?" he asked

"i dont know, maybe someone from her college. she just started last week."

you: how'd you know?
taylor: she's my boyfriends sister.
you: and you're just telling me this?
taylor: y/n, we've only been dating a week and a half.
you: fair, but why are you approaching me about it?
taylor: because you guys were total dicks. she came to my boyfriends apartment today sobbing her eyes out.
you: she approached us first.
taylor: then why'd you try and pick a fight after?
you: oh i dont know, because she called me a slut.
taylor: maybe you are.
taylor: you and bo started dating after a few days of knowing each other.
me: i can't deal with you right now.

i started to cry, bo saw the whole thing go down. he just held me tighter and told me how wrong she was. all i did was sob until i fell asleep. he just laid there with me, the whole night. it was about noon when he woke me up.

he made breakfast for us so i wouldn't have to move. i smiled when he brought over cereal, as long as i had him i'd be okay.

"if it makes you feel any better i wrote a line in my routine just for her." he kissed my forehead before sitting down.

"oh, really?" i smiled "what is it?"

"it's a surprise." i just knew it was gonna be something passive aggressive which had me quite excited. "okay, i already know your routine. it's amazing, but i need your opinion on mine."

he went through his entire routine, and it was amazing.

"bo, that's amazing. i wish you didn't have to cut all that out. you have a whole special written." i said hoping he didn't plan on scrapping the material.

"that's why at the end i'm announcing my new tour. i call it 'make happy.'"
