little things

Rj stands up to leave. He goes around the room, buzzing people on the cheek. He approaches Maine with a smile and plants one her cheek too, close to her lips. Then he whispers, "I love you" while squeezing his hand on her shoulder.

Maine responds with a small pucker of her lips that she plants on Rj's cheek as well. She nods and says "I love you...I'll see you later....." and smiles.

This had become their routine. Discreet but tender.

They do many little things that keep their relationship genuine. No frills, no grand gestures; little things.

He sidles up to her and absent-mindedly slips his hand on her shoulder or waist when they're close to each other. She slips her hand into his back pocket as she slides her arm around his waist.

She grabs some tissues to wipe the sweat off his forehead and face.

They both didn't used to do this for anyone else. It just seemed natural now.

They like discovering things about each other, too. Everyday, there's always something new, something different.

Like how Maine screamed in surprise when he popped a balloon; Rj planned it so he could see her reaction but didn't quite expect what he got. She seemed to be traumatized by loud sounds like balloon pops. He now knows (and hopefully remembers) that this annoys her and will cause a major fight if he does it again. "I have to remember to ask her about this..." he thinks to himself.

She found out that he is not only ticklish in the neck but in the armpit as well. "Hmm....maybe.....tonight....." she impishly thinks with a smile on her face.

He grabs her legs and massages them, "searching" for her ticklish parts. "Hmm...no reaction....she's ticklish in the back though.....tonight...." he wiggles his eyebrows and smiles naughtily to himself.

He absent-mindedly grabs her hand while they sit beside each other. He plays with her fingers and ring. Oh yes, that ring. "....thank you for finally allowing me to put it on you....." he thinks to himself. She feels secure as he holds her hand and plays with her fingers. "....yes.....thank you...." she thinks, "...i sure am lucky to have you....my Rj....."

They don't need to show the world everything that they do. They are a couple. No labels. They do things separately but connect to each other in a very special way that both of them understand, without words or showy gestures.
