Be Mine Forever

Chapter Six

Remi: 

Wednesday, May 8th

Okay, just think, just think of something that would be romantic... Nope, nothing, my mind's still blank. "Dammit!" I yell as I throw my notebook against the couch. I slump against the armrest and kick the notebook away from me. "Stupid little shit." I'm trying to think of what to do for my and Alec's anniversary, which is about two weeks away. So far I've managed to come up with two crappy ideas and nothing else.

"Maybe I should just give up. Alec's probably already got something great planned like he always does," I murmur to myself. I don't know why I'm even trying really; this anniversary is just going to be like last year's. I came up with a fairly decent plan and tried to go through with that. But come our anniversary and Alec had a plan that completely outshone mine. Like fucking had an angelic, perfect plan that seemed like it was given to him by God.

"Jesus, it's not even worth the effort," I groan, grabbing my notebook up and flipping back to my idea page. Thinking back to all the breathtaking anniversaries Alec has given me, my ideas look like shit. A candlelit picnic in Central Park; lunch at Javu's and then a canoe ride in Kissena Lake... all stuff that he's definitely going to do better than. I sigh and set my notebook down in my lap; I really want to be the one to do the big anniversary thing this year. I want to spoil Alec and make him feel special, just show him how much I love him.

Well, maybe I could take him to that rare antique store in Manhattan. We wouldn't be able to buy anything but he still might think it's cool. He's kinda been hinting that he wants to go there and it is pretty nice looking. But I don't know, it just doesn't feel like something you would do on your anniversary. It feels more like something you would do on a weekend or something. Like a day trip type thing.

But I'll still write it down though; it's better than my other ideas. I open up my notebook to my idea page and jot down my new maybe-plan. I make a little note to the side that this isn't a final idea and circle that so I remember. "Maybe I could get him some flowers and those Ferrero Rocher chocolates he likes. I mean, if I go with this plan," I murmur to myself. It's not like this is set in stone.

I write down a little side note about the chocolates and flowers next to my maybe-plan. Just in case. Okay, I think I'm good now. I just need to come up with some better ideas, preferably not antique stores. I love Alec but there are only so many dusty antique stores I can go to. But yeah, I think this should be good for now and I can, or more correctly have to, come up with more ideas later.

But right now I get to relax for a little bit. I shove my pen in my journal and then set my journal on top of my tablet on the little coffee table in front of the couch. Now, what should I do? I texted Alec twenty minutes ago about getting home so we could have some alone time, so I could wait for him. Just checking my phone for messages and watching the door. Or, I could play Candy Crush until he gets back. Damn, such a hard choice.

Well, it would be a waste to just sit here and wait. So I guess Candy Crush is the winner. Such a hard choice. Rolling over onto my side, I pull my tablet from under my journal. I open up Candy Crush and then I type in my password, SunnyD69, and click on level 546. Maybe today I can break my streak record. So far my longest streak has been seventy but I've been working pretty hard lately and am super close to beating it.

Okay but I'm only going to play a few levels. If I get sucked into it, I'm probably going to be stuck to my tablet for hours. But that's totally not going to be a problem since I'm only playing a little bit. "Yep, just a few levels," I mutter to myself as I finally start the level.
