Movie Night

Juliette/Ella

I swap my jeans for a comfortable pair of grey sweatpants, and my tank for one of Aaron's shirts. I put on a pair of fluffy socks and head toward the bathroom to wash my face.

After I brush my teeth, I make my way downstairs to the kitchen. Recently, I've been learning to cook more. Well mostly bake, considering I almost gave Aaron food poisoning when I cooked him steak the other night.
Tonight I'm making a batch of basic raspberry white chocolate chip cookies which have become one of Aaron and I's favourites.
Combining my ingredients, I add the white chocolate chips and the dried raspberry's into the batter and mix. As I'm forming the balls, I hear the front door open followed by footsteps.

I'm met with beautiful jade green eyes, blonde hair, and a small smile not quite forming dimples. "Hello, sweetheart." Aaron walks over pressing a quick kiss to my forehead then my lips.

"Hello Aaron." I place down the ball I'm currently rolling on the tray and turn to give him a hug. He returns my embrace, snaking his arms around my waist.

We stay like that for a few seconds, then he pulls away and gives me a kiss on the tip of my nose. "I'm gonna go shower." I nod my head in quick response and turn back to the task at hand.

Aaron

As I make my way downstairs I turn toward the kitchen only to find Ella preparing the tea. I love it when she wears my shirts. I walk behind her and take ahold of her waist. She startled a little, making me chuckle. Then she settles in my hold and finishes making our tea. I press a soft kiss to the shell of her ear then rest my chin on her shoulder watching as she stirs the milk into the cups.

"Aaron, could you please get the blankets? I have to get the cookies out in five minutes."

I also love the cookies she makes for me. I got her a recipe book from the small library at the sanctuary after she mentioned that she wanted to learn to bake, in which she found the recipe for the amazing smelling cookies in our oven. 

"Yes love, which blanket do you want tonight?" Ella uses a different blanket every movie night, lately her favourite has been the large green one. She said she likes it because it reminds her of my eyes, I find that it functions like any other blanket. It keeps us warm and covered, so I don't really mind.

"Hmm..." she think on it for a few seconds, even though she already knows which one she wants. "I want the green one, it reminds me of your eyes."

I give her a smile. "So you've told me, I'll go get it, anything else you want whilst im upstairs?"

"A hair tie, please." I slide my hand back, losing hold of her waist, kiss her jaw once, twice and head upstairs.

Aaron sets up the pillows and blankets while I bring the tea and tray of cookies to the small table in our living room. Our latest tv obsession is a show we found called "Riverdale", it's about a bunch of teenagers and a guy who got killed. I think it was Fp Jones who killed him, Aaron disagrees.

We get the last of our blankets and pillows, then we settle onto our 'L' shaped couch, both of us on the longer part so we can lay.
I sit up quickly and begin braiding my hair, it's so long causing me to struggle.

"Would you like some help, love?" Aaron asks.

"Yes please, I can't reach." I turn my back to him, then feel his slender fingers gather up my hair and restart the braid. Normally when I can't reach my hair, I get Aaron to do it for me. He's become quite good at it.

Aaron weaves my long waves a few more times before I feel him tie it off and fling the braid over my shoulder. I turn back around, and am met by Aaron's lips. He kisses me softly, carefully. Then, he snakes his arms around my waist and tucks me agains his body so that my head is under his chin, my ear on his heart. The beating soothes me, making me smile.

"Are you comfortable, sweetheart?" Aaron says while rubbing my arms to warm me even more. I give him a nod. Then he reaches over and turns on our tv. We are lucky enough that the sanctuary has wifi, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do this.

I lean over to grab my tea, Aaron's already half empty. I take a few sips before putting the mug down and reaching for two cookies.

One for me, one for Aaron.
He takes the cookie from me and takes a bite.
"Thoughts?" I ask. I always feel the need to ask if they taste good or not.
"Delicious, love. They are very nice." I give him a wide grin, and turn back to our tv, munching on my own cookie.

Jughead, one of my personal favourites, just put on the 'serpents' jacket, causing me to gasp and put my hand on my mouth in disbelief. Aaron only chuckles at my reaction.

"Oh my gosh. No way. Oh my goshhhhhhh." Aaron fully laughs this time, his shoulder moving. "Hey don't laugh at me, why aren't you shocked?!"

"Love, it's a tv show. None of it is real."

"Well it feels real."

We lay there for a few more minutes, my jaw still open. Then all of a sudden, my eyelids feel heavy. I blink a few times trying to keep my self awake. I turn on my side, snuggling more into the folds of Aaron's shirt, his arms tightening around me. I try desperately to make it through the last few minutes of the episode, but I'm so comfortable on Aaron's chest that I can't help closing my eyes. I drift off to a peaceful sleep still curled on Aaron's chest.

Aaron

I look down to the sudden source of warmth blowing into my chest, finding Ella curled up against me breathing soft and even. She looks so peaceful in my arms, so calm. She deserves to be calm. She's always fussing over other people, trying to make everyone happy, she puts everyone else's needs before hers and while I know she means well, she works too hard. Seeing her so unbothered and calm makes me smile.

I press a kiss to her forehead before I slowly lean forward to switch off the television, keeping Ella in my hold. Slowly, I remove her hands from my waist and wrap my own under her knees and shoulders carrying her bride style up to our bedroom. I tap the door with my foot, then make my way over to our bed, set her down and pull the covers up to her shoulders. I smooth a hand over her cheek before I walk to the other side of the bed and crawl in.

The mess downstairs can wait until tomorrow.
I wrap a hand around Ella's waist and gently tug her towards me, press another kiss to her forehead.
"I love you, sweetheart." I whisper to her ear. And then I also fall into a deep sleep with Ella in my arms.
