Aari touched down in LA, her heart a swirl of excitement and fatigue. She grabbed her phone and quickly texted Aaron.
Aari: Have you reached home yet?
She headed home, her body craving the comfort of her bed. The familiar sights of the city blurred past her taxi window, but she was too tired to appreciate them. As soon as she arrived, she collapsed onto her bed, not even bothering to change out of her travel clothes. Hours later, she woke up, groggy but refreshed, and checked her phone.
Aaron: Yeah, I just got home and crashed. We partied way too much last night. How are you feeling back in LA?
A smile spread across her face as she read his message. She could almost hear his voice.
Aari: (taking a deep breath) Tbh, it feels unreal.
Aaron: Sounds like a pretty different visit to LA then.
Aari: Definitely. So, what are you up to now?
Aaron: I'm about to go shopping.
Aari: I wanna see your shopping!
Aaron: I'll show you all the options.
Later, Aaron finished his shopping and shared the video of the shoes and clothes he purchased. The video revealed a collection of clothes and shoes spread out on his bed, each item carefully chosen.
Aaron: Look, I got these new shoes and some casual tees. What do you think?
Aari: (smiling) I love them! You have great taste.
Aaron: Thanks, babe. Do you wanna go anywhere?
Aari: Where, baby?
Aaron: Anywhere you like, love.
Aari: Alone?
Aaron: No, no, I'll go with you. 😝
Aari: (laughing) Come over, but I have zero energy to get dressed up. I'm literally wearing my cousin's t-shirt at the moment.
Aaron: (excitedly) Show me!
Aari rolled her eyes playfully and shared a picture. She was wearing an oversized t-shirt with a pair of shorts, her hair in a messy bun, sitting cross-legged on her bed with a casual, relaxed pose. The t-shirt, emblazoned with a quirky graphic, hung loosely off one shoulder, giving her an adorably disheveled look.
Aaron: You even look cute in this! ❤️❤️
The night slipped away as they continued talking, their voices carrying through the quiet hours, sharing stories and laughter until they both fell asleep.
The morning light filtered through the curtains, waking Aari up. She checked her phone, finding a good morning text from Aaron.
Aaron: Good morning, love.Did you sleep well?
Aari: Good morning, Like a baby. So, what's the plan for today?
Aaron: How about we meet in the evening?
Aari: Sounds perfect.
Aaron: I'll be there at 10 PM. Your place is quite far.
Aari: (smiling) I'll be ready.
As the evening approached, Aari took her time getting ready. She chose a black crop tank top that hugged her figure, pairing it with a cropped jacket that added a touch of edginess. Her tight-fitted jeans accentuated her curves, and she completed the look with white high-ankle sneakers. Her hair cascaded down in loose waves, and she added a hint of makeup to highlight her features.
