📍: Cheryl Apartment, Upper east Manhattan, New York

Toni adjusts the bag of stuff she brought for her girlfriend as she knocks on the door of said girlfriend's apartment.

Cheryl called her in near tears about her painful period cramps so the brunette thought why not surprise her with a care bag? Everyone loves care bags.

She hears shuffling on the other side before the lock clicks and the door opens, revealing her girlfriend. The redhead is clad in a robe and her slippers. "Baby!" the model's pained expression changes to a happy one. Toni laughs softly when the latter embraces her.

"Hey, baby," she whispers, rubbing her back with her free hand.

"What are you doing here?" the redhead asks while pulling away. "Not that it's a problem, I just—" she starts to add.

"It's okay." the brunette stops her. "After our phone call, I decided to go out and get you a few things." she holds the bag up. Cheryl's green eyes light up and she steps aside for her girlfriend to enter.

Toni steps into the spotless penthouse, inhaling the smell of daisies. "I would've put something on if I knew you'd be coming." the model breathes out, tightening her robe.

Her girlfriend turns to look at her with a raised eyebrow. "Baby, you know that I don't care about none of that stuff." she goes to wrap her arms around the scantily taller woman after placing the bag down. "We had that talk remember?"

"Mhm." the fashion model hums.

"Exactly." the athlete grins before meeting the woman in kiss. Cheryl's frame instantly relaxes in her hold. They kiss for a moment, their lips moving in sync. Toni goes to tighten her arms around the redhead's waist but pulls away abruptly when Cheryl emits a wince.

"You okay?" she asks, concerned. "J—Just a cramp," replies Cheryl.

"I brought you some painkillers. You use those, right?" the athlete turns around to retrieve the bag again. She pulls out a bottle of Advil PM and a heating pad. "I got both since I didn't really know which will help. I asked Betty and she said that she usually takes Advil but I wanted you to have options."

"Toni, baby, what the hell?" Cheryl says. Toni looks at her with confusion. Cheryl laughs softly as she launches herself into the brunette's arms. Toni hugs back warily, still confused about whether she did the right thing or not.

She asked Betty for advice since she doesn't experience getting her menstrual cycle. Her best friend explained to her that the cramps are terrible and that it makes women emotional, tired, nauseous, and sometimes if the flow is heavy, it ruins a fresh pair of underwear.

So the brunette went to target to buy the redhead some pads—and tampons since she didn't know what the woman preferred—then she got her some chocolate, yogurt, and fruit. She also brought some painkillers and a heating pad. Oh and a cute little teddy bear.

"You're the best girlfriend ever, TT. No one has ever done this for me before."

"Really?" Cheryl nods against her shoulder. "Oh, then...you're welcome, pretty girl. I'm glad I could help." she wraps her occupied hands around her. "I don't know how it feels since ya know...but will a stomach rub also help?" the brunette whispers.

And that is how the couple finds themselves wrapped up together under the duvet of Cheryl's comfortable queen-sized bed. Toni serves as the big spoon while rubbing the redhead's stomach, lulling the beauty into a well-deserved sleep.

Toni observes her girlfriend's face with a soft smile, her teeth trapping her bottom lip to keep the smile from growing. It's only been four days since she's come to terms with how deeply her feelings for Cheryl goes.
