Counting Down

* * * * *

Ten Days Away:

❝Ten days.❞

"I thought you weren't going to tell me what day you're coming?"

❝I said what day, I didn't say that I couldn't count down until that day. Loop hole.❞

"You do realize that I can just count down from today and find out what exact day, right dimples?"

❝Shit.❞

"However, I won't do that because you seem too excited to see me. I really can't wait to see you in person."

❝How have you been?❞

"What?"

❝I asked, how have you been? I feel as though I never ask you how you are or what you are doing. I'm always doing most of the talking. So, you talk.❞

"Well, just got back from the gym. You know, working out my sweet arm candy. You can't see, but I am flexing so damn hard and it looks so impressive. I feel pretty great. I also look great."

❝I regret giving you a chance to talk now.❞

"Awe Dimples, don't be like that. Anyway..."

* * * * *

Eight Days Away:

❝Quentin, my idiot, there is only eight days until I see your face! Get ready for a bunch of kisses!❞

"We haven't had our first kiss yet! What if while we're running into each other's arms we bump heads and we fall in the middle of the airport?"

❝What makes you think I want to run into your arms like this is some cheesy movie?❞

"...Because I really want to do that? I'm a hopeless romantic. Let me live my dreams."

❝We'll see the day I get there.❞

"Babe, just think about it. You and I see each other face to face and you jump into my arms and we totally-"

❝Fall on our asses?❞

"Oh come on! Not even a kiss?"

❝Ha ha ha maybe!❞

* * * * *

Six Days Away:

"Six days until I can see my beautiful Nerissa! ...Jackson shut the fuck up! I'm allowed to call my girl on occasion!"

❝You don't have to call if you're busy?❞

"No, I'm not busy. Jackson decided to try and lecture me on relationships when he goes around sleeping with multiple people, so I decided to call you and SHOW HIM WHAT A REAL DAMN RELATIONSHIP LOOKS LIKE! YOU HEAR THIS JACKSON? MY GIRL AND I HAVE A MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING!"

❝...I am so confused why is he lecturing you?❞

"He thinks that I am being whipped."

❝Argh, when I see Jackson may I yell at him?❞

"...Yes."

❝Thank you. Now, besides that how are you?❞

"I am doing so well...JACKSON WILL YOU KNOCK IT OFF. I AM NOT WHIPPED I JUST REALLY LIKE HER OKAY? WILL YOU PLEASE-"

❝Q?❞

"I gotta go, sorry baby...YES I CALL HER BABY. OKAY YOU KNOW WHAT YOU CAN'T EVEN KEEP A GIRL SO SHUT UP."

❝I'll let you deal with him. Speak and see you soon love!❞

"Bye darling...YES I CALL HER-"

❝Bye?❞

"..."

❝Oh boy...❞

Four Days Away:

"I'm so, so, so sorry, but I can't talk right now...I'm setting something up and it's been taking up all my time these past days. However, I will let you know that there is only four days away until I can see you."

❝Oh it's totally fine love, I hope you're not stressing yourself out.❞

"I'm stressing out for a good reason."
