Princess Charming (gxg)

Part 25

3 months later
For the first time in my life, I had truly known peace.

Not even just happiness- peace. When I was a little girl, and I was wildly unhappy- dealing with abuse from my parents and never feeling like I was good enough for anything- I thought that I wanted to be happy.

And when I first met Jocelyn, I was happy. Almost too happy. My head was in the clouds- and I wanted that high to last for the rest of my life.

Hallie brought me something even better than that happiness- she brought me peace. It was like we were the calm to each other's storms.

Because we both certainly had a dark could over us sometimes.

There were days when Hallie didn't want to leave to the house. Even days she had her part time job. She felt down, and depressed, and she wanted to just stay in the basement and play video games all day. But I would try to pull her out of it.

There were days where my past got to me way too much- and I found my mind being filled with negative thoughts that made me want to pull away, and put a wall up. She helped break that down.

We were patient with each other, and we were kind to each other.

That was something I had never experienced before.

I was now working three shifts a week, from 6 PM to 6 AM (A/N: I worked this shift as a Nursing Assistant. It's rough lol.) as a Phlebotomist at a local hospital. It was definitely an adjustment- but having a nocturnal girlfriend that I could text during the shift made it all the better.

Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah/Christmas, and New Years Eve came and passed- and I spent them with Hallie.

For Halloween we had a little celebration...of our own. We dressed up as an angel and a devil. Hallie was angel, and I was a devil. And we made some content to sell online. It was hot as hell, dressing up and being sexual with each other. We hadn't really gotten into role-play- and this was a good taste of it.

For Thanksgiving, Hallie came over and had dinner with me, Felix, Cora, and Cora's sister- Larissa. Hallie expressed to me that she did not like Thanksgiving- she didn't like eating with her family, and she had anxiety eating in front of everyone. She said that no matter what- she became either the laughing stock or obvious disappointment of the table. She would have relatives ask her constantly when she was going to college, or when she was getting a boyfriend. Which wasn't happening. In both categories.

She seemed to have a really nice time though with my family. She was talkative, and open with everyone. Seeing her blossom was one of my favorite things. Knowing that I could make her happy, and make situations that she didn't enjoy before, joyous, meant a lot to me.

I celebrate Hanukkah, and she celebrated with me. Something that I learned was that Hallie set up a Christmas tree in her room every year, with pink lights and cute little ornaments, with different anime and video characters she liked, and many of Hello Kitty as well.

"I never had a Christmas tree growing up." I said to her, "But I must say, this is the best Christmas tree I've ever seen."

"Sure as hell beats the one upstairs with the angel ornaments that are about 100 years old." she said, figuring out where to place a Kirby ornament.
