Aloïsia
I like having a lot of plants, mainly cactuses and some aloe Vera. And a place to sit with a small table is a must for me, which I usually use to keep my mug or any book that I'm reading. But today, it's being used for pizza. I'm so proud of myself for maintaining my balcony like this. The weather is being suspiciously generous today with the relaxing wind and the smell of earth. My plants are just enhancing the experience a shit ton too. And of course, how can I not mention this amazing pizza! I'm sobbing internally out of happiness.
I finished chewing and licked my lips to remove any crumbs, "Alvin?" I said gently as he looked my way, "You're welcome." he said as he took another bite and looked outside. I chuckled, "How did you know I was gonna thank you?"
"Thank you." He replied, confusing the shit out of me. I asked "What?"
"For looking out for me." He said.
"You're welcome." I said after a few seconds of silence. "Alvin?" I called again.
"Yes?"
"Are you planning to keep the cat?"
"You mean Brötchen?" He asked with a serious face. Seriously? :)
"Can you please stop calling her Brötchen?" I asked while giggling, "You can't just name her after a bread ya know."
"Well" He added while chewing, "Any ideas?"
"Well..." I started thinking, she looks so calm all the time, so peaceful. "Serene?" I asked.
"Yes I'm planning to keep Serene."
"You really just accepted the name like that?"
"Why not? I like it." he exclaimed.
"What else do you like?" I asked, while we watched the sky get darker every minute.
"What?"
"As in, what do you like? Your hobbies or anything of that sort, I barely know anything about you."
I was a bit hesitant to ask that, assuming I'd be stepping over his boundaries. But at that time, it felt safe. It felt safe to try and get to know him, and I'm glad. Because that's how everything started ♡
