since trevor is away all the time, i'm alone at home in anaheim a lot.
so i thought, why not get a pet?
we're old enough, someone's home to take care of them all the time and we have lots of space in our house.
"trevor!" i yelled from the living room where i was chilling on the couch and didn't feel like moving.
"yeah?" he yelled back from our room.
"come here!" i heard shuffling and doors closing in the hallway.
when he entered the living room, he said, "what's up?"
"look at this." i showed him my phone which was playing a cute cat video.
he grabbed it and watched with a bored expression. he handed it back and looked at me for an answer.
"what? it was cute." i defined myself. i was showing it to him because i wanted to silently give him the message that i wanted a cat.
"let me guess, you want a cat." he questioned and raised his hands in the air.
"um, no, definitely not." i tried ti okay it off as if i definitely didn't want one.
"yeah, like i believe that." trevor huffed.
"fine. i want one." i gave up and admitted it.
"knew it. but, why?" he sat down on the foot stool that my feet were resting on.
"because i'm always lonely, we have the time and space and they're cute. it's perfect!"
"babe, a cat is a big responsibility. you can barely take care of a succulent. a cat's much more." trevor reasoned.
"okay, the succulent thing was a year ago, i can take care of one now." i explained myself.
"well, it's a no from me."
that was his answer to every one of my questions of if we could have one.
until, i came up with a plan. i tried to send trevor photos and videos of cats at least once a day when he was gone and in person when he was home.
it was a genius plan to me.
on the fourth day, trevor sent back,
'i've changed my mind.'
has he changed his mind as in he wants one, he really doesn't want one or what?
this guy better specify some more in the future because it drives me crazy.
when trevor got back from his road trip, i was eager to find out what he meant.
"hey babe, how was the trip?" i said as i hugged him when he walked in the door.
he hugged back, "good, some wins."
"that's so good, i'm proud of you."
we were both avoided the elephant in the room.
"so, you're probably confused about the text and i wanted to explain myself." he backed away and held my hands.
"we can get a cat."
my jaw dropped open.
"you're kidding."
"nope." he smiled.
"oh my god, i love you." i grabbed him and hugged him again. my arms wrapped around his neck while my legs wrapped around his waist.
i kept whispering 'i love you' to him and he did too.
