The days dragged along slowly as you and Stephen continued your relationship.
Though you couldn't get away from the feeling of Stephen deserving much more than you.
Stephen was the sweetest guy you have dated and you were sure you were a close second to the best relationship he had ever had but you never really knew.
You were too scared to ask.
The sun shines through a small crack on the curtains, shining perfectly on Stephen's face. You smile softly as he sleeps, seeing him calm makes you feel the same.
"You're staring" Stephen mentions with his eyes closed "I can't help it" You kiss him sweetly "What time is it?" He asks finally looking back at you "I don't know, but all I wanna do is snuggle up here" You lay your head on his chest
~~~
It was noticeable that you weren't the domestic type. Always having to go to other countries for business and all the other things but with Stephen, it made things a lot easier.
He too wasn't the domestic type either but you both were trying your best
"Okay so dinner at seven, I'll pick you up after work and we'll be off by then" You remind Stephen as you continued to pack your bag "I grabbed take out for you because I can't really cook" He shrugged handing you a paper bag "And that's okay, thanks honey" You kiss him on the cheek before leaving "Bye!"
~~~
"Good to see that you're in a good mood" Vernon walks in with a smile "It's nice to see you again, I told you that having a Christmas break was a good idea" You pat him on the back "Do you have any plans for tonight that I should know?"
It was also safe to say that Vernon had absolutely no idea about you and Strange, this information had slipped your mind at this very moment.
"Oh, I have dinner reservations with Stephen, we're celebrating a month of being together" You shrug "What?" Vernon's confusion is clear through his voice "Yeah, were dating" You reply also confused "Oh-"
"You never told me!"
~~~
After settling matters with Vernon, you were needed at the warehouse due to a machine malfunctioning and eventually exploding.
Your steps were quick and even, heels clatter as each step became more distinct "What happened? Is anyone hurt?" You ask as you approach the manager of the warehouse "A machine that was long overdue for a replacement finally gave up ma'am. Fortunately, the area was clear when it happened" He sighed "You could've requested a replacement months ago" Your voice was stern as you knew that you were gonna be late for your plans tonight
~~~
Hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as you drove as quickly as you could.
"Stephen? Oh God, I'm sorry I'm late. One of the warehouses had a faulty machine and-" You stop for a moment seeing a small piece of paper on the kitchen table 'Follow the string <3 S.S.' You smile, unsure if you should be worried.
A red string leads up to the rooftop entrance "Stephen?" You see him sitting on a bench with a few snacks as a projector is aimed up a blank wall
"Don't worry, Vernon called and I canceled the reservation to set this up" He walks over to you and you hug him "What did I do to deserve you?" You ask and he raises a brow
"You deserve me and so much more" He kisses your forehead
