Weeks had passed, and Katie was getting ready for a night out in Central London's Soho district. She planned to surprise her partner, Lapis, with the news that one of their favourite artists would be performing at the club they were headed to.
As she belted her light blue ripped jeans, Katie made her way downstairs, still in her black bra. Seeing her, Lapis smiled and jokingly scolded her for her almost-outfit. "You look hot, but we can't go out like this," Lapis said. "I can't find my white corset top," Katie replied in a flurry, prompting Lapis to retrieve it from the sofa. Katie rushed back upstairs to finish getting ready, excited for the night ahead.
Once Katie had finished getting dressed in her white corset top, she meticulously did up the clips at the back before running her fingers through her curled strawberry-blonde hair that fell gently to her shoulders. She made her way downstairs, grabbing her black Converse before sitting on the stairs to put them on.
With careful attention, she tied them up perfectly before standing up, ready to head out for the night. Lapis watched her with a fond smile, admiring how effortlessly she put herself together. "You look stunning," they said, reaching out to take her hand. "Shall we go and see this surprise artist of yours?" Katie grinned, excitement bubbling in her chest as she nodded, intertwining their fingers as they made their way out the door and into the bustling streets to catch the train into Central London.
The two arrived in Soho and made their way up to one of the popular gay bars/clubs in the area. Katie quickly found the right one and reached for her ID, glancing over at Lapis who was rummaging through their wallet for theirs. They both got their IDs checked by the bouncers before they were granted entry into the lively club.
As they stepped inside, the music thumping and lights flashing around them, Lapis turned to Katie. "Want me to grab you a drink?" they asked. "Yes, please. Can you get me a Pink Fizz Mocktail?" Katie requested with a smile. "Of course, my love. Lime wedge?" Lapis checked, to which Katie nodded in agreement before Lapis headed over to the bar.
Katie found a comfortable booth and settled in, taking in the atmosphere of the club.
It was buzzing with energy and excitement, and she couldn't wait to see the surprise artist perform. As Lapis returned with their drinks, Katie's heart swelled with gratitude for the thoughtful gesture. They clinked their glasses, holding on for a bit longer.
As the night progressed, Katie found herself lost in the pulsating rhythm on the dance floor, moving to the beat with a joyous abandon. Lapis watched her from the booth, a soft smile playing on their lips as they admired the way she moved with such freedom and grace.
The club was buzzing with anticipation as the time neared for the surprise artist to come on stage.
Sensing the moment, Lapis got up from their seat and made their way over to Katie, resting their head on top of hers. "So, can you tell me who it is?" they asked, curiosity evident in their voice. "Not yet, love. Just a few more minutes," Katie teased, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
And then, as the familiar intro to "Grrrls" by Aviva started playing, Lapis' eyes widened in disbelief. "No way..." they murmured, pulling Katie into a tight hug. "I wanted it to be special for you. I booked tickets weeks ago, they were pretty cheap. Only £17.50 each," Katie revealed, a grin spreading across her face.
Seconds later, the artist they both loved came onto the stage, ready to perform in front of an ecstatic crowd.
As the music filled the club and the crowd swayed to the beat of the song, Katie took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to ask Lapis a question that had been weighing on her mind.
She turned to face them, their hands still on her hips, and with a hint of nervousness in her voice, she spoke softly. "Darling, how would you feel about getting bottom surgery?" Katie asked, her eyes searching Lapis's face for a reaction. Lapis turned to her, eyes wide with surprise, as tears welled up in their eyes at the unexpected question. "Are... Are you being serious?" they stammered, their voice trembling with emotion.
Katie took a deep breath, her love for Lapis shining through in her eyes. "No, I'm not being serious. I can start a GoFundMe and we can let people put money together for you to get bottom surgery. I know it may be expensive, but it'll be so worth it," she said, her voice filled with determination and love.
As Aviva's voice filled the air with the lyrics of "Rabbit Hole," Lapis pulled Katie into a tight hug, holding her close as they whispered, "Thank you, beautiful. It would mean the world to me."
The hours had passed quickly, filled with laughter, music, and the promise of a brighter future. Now, as the clock struck 11 pm, Katie and Lapis found themselves back home, the comforting familiarity of their own space wrapping around them like a warm embrace.
Katie, in her soft pyjamas, sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing her sleepy eyes as Lapis watched her with a soft smile. "Ready for bed?" they asked, their tone gentle and full of affection. Katie nodded, a yawn escaping her lips as she settled down onto the bed, pulling the covers and duvet over herself. "Time... time to sleep..." Katie muttered, her voice heavy with sleepiness as she snuggled under the cosy covers. "Yes, beautiful... It's time to sleep now," Lapis whispered, their voice tender as they pulled Katie closer into their arms, creating a cocoon of warmth and love around them.
As the night settled in around them, the rhythm of their breathing synchronised, a peaceful silence enveloped the room. In the safety of each other's arms, Katie and Lapis drifted off to sleep, their dreams intertwined, their hearts full of love and gratitude for the moments they shared. And as the night embraced them in its gentle embrace, they knew that no matter what tomorrow brought, they would face it together, hand in hand, and heart to heart.
The gentle morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room as Lapis slowly stirred awake. At 8 am, they found Katie still asleep next to them, nestled in their arms, her head resting comfortably on Lapis' chest. With a tender smile, Lapis gently shifted Katie to lay her properly on the bed before slipping out from under the covers to use the bathroom.
As they stood in the bathroom, the running water providing a soothing soundtrack to the morning, Lapis took a moment to collect their thoughts. They couldn't help but feel overwhelming gratitude for the love and support that Katie had shown them, the promise of a brighter future now more tangible than ever before.
After finishing in the bathroom, Lapis made their way back to the bedroom, the soft carpet beneath their feet a welcome sensation. Climbing back into bed, they pulled the covers over themselves and reached out to gently draw Katie closer into their arms. As she shifted, resting her head back on Lapis' chest, a sense of peace settled over them both.
With the rise and fall of Katie's gentle breathing lulling them back to sleep, Lapis closed their eyes, feeling the weight of the world slip away in that moment of quiet connection. As the morning sunlight danced across the room, illuminating the love and warmth shared between them, Lapis drifted off to sleep once more, the sight of their beautiful girlfriend asleep in their arms imprinted in their heart and mind, a promise of a future filled with love, understanding, and unwavering support.
