One Day At A Time - One Shot

5. A Night Out - Connor

I just came back home after finally finishing my audio book in the studio. I am tired but I feel motivated so I start to film a video for any given Monday trying to get ahead the way I like it.

I keep hearing my phone ring. But as much as I try to ignore it, as soon as it stops, it rings back again. My worried nature makes me think something must be wrong. So I stop the camera and walk into the bedroom. I have 3 missed calls from Troye. I instantly panic and call him back. He answers the phone in a cheerful voice.

"Hi Con. Finally!"

"What is going on babe. Is everything alright?"

"Yeah everything is more than OK. I am going to finish today around 5 and I wanted to let you know because I want to call before you made plans with someone else. I just want to spend the evening with you. It has been to long."

I sight with relief and I immediately get a smile on my face. "Sure Tro, where do you want to go? "

"Not sure, you pick a spot since you know the city. Just a quiet place for us to enjoy tonight."

"So is a date?" I was giggling with excitement and so was him.

"Is a date. Alex is dropping Emily at the hotel and me at the airbnb. Meet you a little after 5? I have to go. Alex is calling. Love you Con da Bon."

Before I got the chance to say I love you back he hung up the phone.

I look at the clock and is just 2pm. I decide to call for reservation to a slightly fancy restaurant before I finish recording, eat some lunch and get ready for my date with my boyfriend. It has been way to long.

Troye has been in the studio the past week until really late at night and I had been going in to record the book at weird ours too, along with the billion meetings we both have about future projects, we have barely seen each other. It makes me laugh at how silly it is how much I miss him even when we are in the same city. Life is crazy

So I put on my black shirt that Troye likes, my black coat with leather collar and dark jeans. As I get out of the apartment I notice that the flowers are blooming so I grab a few and I drive to Troye's airbnb. I get there at 5:05pm and I see Alex pulling in. I say hi to her and she drives out and lives me standing in front of a tired face boyfriend.

Troye walks to the sidewalk where I am standing with the little self-picked bouquet. He grabs the flowers and wraps his arms around my shoulders as I give him a small kiss in the cheek and whisper - "I've missed you Tro"

"So bad" - he says in reply and snuggles close to me asking for more body contact. I lean in and stretch my arms around his waist and rubbing his lower back. He quickly jumps up and put his legs around my waist. I almost loose my balance but manage to walk around to get in. "Lets get you in babe"

"Yeah I'll get in the shower so we can head out"
